1t may I've fairly presumed, that it is the
object Of the British government, by striking
at the principal sources of our prosperity, to
DIM nish the importance, if not to destroy the

Cannot be doubtful. The highest confidence
is entertained that the stronger the pressure,
and the greater the danger, the more firm x
vgorels will Je the resistance, and the more
successful and glorious the result.
It is the tvowed purpose of the enemy to
lay waste and destroy our cities and villages,
and 70 des5late our coast, of which examples
have already been afforded. 1t is evidently
his intention to press the war along the whole
eZtcnt of our sea-board, in the hope of ese-
hausting equally the spirits of the people, and
the national resources. There is also reason
20 presume, that it is the intention to press
the war from Canada on the adjoining states

view TO the vain project Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
