The shameful practice of what is
called hoaxing the public by cireu-
lating reports of victories achieved
by our naval heroes which they ne.
yer accomplished, deserves a severer
chastisement than the pen can pos
sibly iuflict. TO trifile with the pub
lie sensibility at this interesting cri-
sis. when those heroes are risking
their lives, and fronting almost inc
vitable death on the ocean, merits
no other reply than what every scoun-
drel is entitled to, and chat is the
timely application of stout, well
seasoned hickory. The lives. fame,
and honor, of such high minded men,
are not TO be made the theme of a
scoundrel jest.-While the country
feels with an exquisite sensibility
their defeats, and shares the splendor
Of their triumphs, some anonymous
coward turns all these sympathies
into ridicuIe, and trifies with the
fears of his countrymen. Honor IS
sacred thing, and not to be tam
pered with SO wantonly, and the
mean misere ant has little to boast OF
on the score of personal aggrandlze-
ment, when he finds his couutrymen
credulous enough to believe him a
man of veracity send honor. His
whole triumph is derived from our
thinking better of him than he de-
serves, and that he is not that paltry
knaye which his actions bespeak
him.
1t is curious to observe how sue
cessfully such men acknowledge
themselves scoundrels, in their very
act ofIaugbing at the credulity of the
public. They triumph with an affcc-
tation of contempt over their coun-
trymen for believing them to be men
of honor for believing that they
would not utter wilful and preme-
ditated falsehOod without ANY Inte-
rested motives that they would tell
truth when there was no temptation
for them to prevaricate. They de-
ny all this; they say that they are
not men of honor; they assert that
they do utter wilful and premedita'ed
falsehoods without interested motives
and that they will lie where there is
no temptation to prevaricate.
Tins is the respectful portrait
which these men draw of themselves,
in the very act Of their mag 'n"ry
triumph over the credulity OF The
hubble, and il is severely just.
