sonqucror; coerced us TO shout Hosan- |
nahs to his fame, and fabricate apologies forj
his misfortunes-twisted knot a, out our
necks, which we are told the tyrant's sword
alone can cat. Will you reject these reso.
buttons, and thus confirm all that will he.
San be, and ought to be thought and said
touching French Influence
There exists, said MIR. Fl. another and /,
very Important reason why the majority
should proceed cautiously, eyincinsr n deli
cacy OF honor, a nice sepsibil,,y, OH oues-
ton which is to decide upon their pre,cn.
sions to whatever an honest party propcrl,
appreciates. In addition to the animation
by the imperial prime minister that the
prlvations and n,iseries with which the
country has been afflicted for the last year,
nave been brought upon us by the conceal
ment OF document which would have pre-
vented the war, ii communicated TO con.
gress-that our smoking and bleeding
frontier has been visited with the most aw
1ui calsmit.es, through the treachery OF
our rulers; in addition to these considcra-
tons, upon late and memorable occasion,
the lnylncible and supcr-elninent Napo.
Icon declared TO his Conservative Senate
OK slaves, IN pretty direct terms, that VIC
were engaged in common cause with
him. These are his words:
+" America has REQUIRED TO arms 10 cause
the sovereignty other flag to be respected.
The wishes ci the world accompany her il:
this glorious contest IF it terminates in
obhging the cnemy of.hc continent 10 re-
cognize the principles that Ire EQg shat
f,rotect tie merchandise and cresv, and tha,
neutrals ought not to submit to hahey block
AIDES, Gall is conformablc to the treaty Of
Utretcht )--Hmerica viii meet the applause
OF the word.'
Such, Mr.. Speaker, is the language of
the late assumed Autocrat of all the states
Of the continent, The war is not TO cease
until England recognizes new interpela-
ton into the maritime code of nations. in
other words until the Napoleon code is
adopted which shall give to the neutral
flag, piece of striped bunting, backed by
quaker cannon, the magical effect of pre-
serving invieiste al! that sails under it, Of
protecting whatever is covered by it. Yes,
sir, this new point Of International law the
",invincible" and generous conqueror,"
seated on his imperial throne, covered by
canopy dare say not less splendid than
that above your head, Mr.. Speaker, sur
rounded by his scuilion princes and mock
grand dignltaries OF the empire, has pro-
mulgated for the government Of nations
for our guidance---for the government of
The petty men
Who walk under his huge legs and peec
about
To find themselves dishonorable graves.
Mr.. H. said, it appears too, from the
same iaconic notice our loving friend has
deigned to take of this most enlightened
nation of the world, that with the same So
lemnity, and on the same occasion, he has
declared to the automa around him, TO,
this new principle the Americans fight
and for so fighting have gained the worlds
applause, tyrant's praise the friendship
of a cut purse of the empire and the rule
Yes, the great Napoleon has written, has
spoken, has promulged il 10 tie nations oil
the world, that we fight GTeo; Britain 10:
such principle-all is ceniGymaolc to the
treaty of Utrecht! while curious simiiafi.
ty of sentiment is to be found between The
late message of the president and the
speech of the emperor upon the point
that the flag shall cover the merchandise
and crew'--ihat free shits sAaLl make free
goods
Is it true or is it false (said Mr.. FL tina,
We arc fighting to support such prefer
sioas Such facts VIC arc the panel To try.
and according TO my ideas, the decision
will be governed by the. vote upon these
resolutions-Again,i is it true We have
the word of Napoleon for it, and " but YES
terdav his word would have stood against
Che world" Now crippled and PROSTATE,
surely there could be no great danger in
bringing our executive into collision with
him, whose honor must be protected a.
gainst an imputed act of malfeasance pre-.
