FROM The BALTIMORE PATRIOT.
A1r. CASTOR, on Defensive Va,

. MT. GASTON, on Defensive Har.
This member from North CaroIins. in
the course OF his remarks on the loan hill
iabored strenuoussy for one point the
importance OF which we cannot discover.
in the light, in which he places it. He
insisted that MIR. CALHOUN was wrong in
calling this offensive uor, althoup h RIGHT
In Saying defensive war might be Of
ienslv 6 in its operations. Ills allegation
is: War is offensive or defcnsive sinhlt
as IL is instituted by, or against a nation"
lie goes on to say Nor let IL be deemed,
Of no inrhortanee, whether This quar be
called defensive or o6ensior. lis akquays
Of aoment, that things SHOULD be called BIZ
their right names"
moment, that things should be called bv
Their night names"-we consider it of much
more moment, that generalized names
should not be employed to perplex and
eonfound distinct and different ideas. We
will exemplify our meaning. Mr.. GAsroN
holds the present, to be an offensive war
on our part, simply, because we declared
1t. Suppose Great Britain, in addition to
| the wrongs We did receive and which the
iederalists themselves, had previously a.
vowed, were full cause of war had com.
menced the scenes Of Hamilton and Hayre,
had bombarded our towns, or desolatcd
our coast, withouf declaration of suar 4:
and to repel these outrages our govern.
ment had first declared zoar. Would the
war have been offensive on our part? Yes,
says Mr.. CASTOR " lie who commence,

summoned TO the controversy, has L5s DE-.

|e"s'oe /soF' anu u Is cSSenudI, lot MS
consistency, lie should say SO. For the
robbery of ships and seizure of seamen,
were as directly offensive and aggressive,
as the plumber Of hamlets, the ravishment
OF women, or murder of individuals, tho
not SO highly irritating to the pride and
the feelings. The officer Of Justice, who
executes the process which . Judge has
issued for the arrest of felon, is s. the
dcfor-of course his conduct is efcn-
@ue"-the cu,prit who is obliged to plead
IN court, is I" summoned to fhe controversy"
and has the I" DEF. nsive fart"
But 10 expose the nature Of this verbal
and quibbling impeachment of the war it
Is not enough that VIC state it. Let us see
what use is be made of it. BY this art
tui confounding of ideas, by general term
more mischief is done, taan would ever re.
suit from the plain and common under.
standing ofthe nature of a subject in itself
without trammelling it with pseudo
logical classification. Thus This is an
offensive war. So were the wars of ALEX
AEDEn the great-ALHxANDnR's wars were
from ambition Of foreign conquest; and as
that Is c9ensiUe SO must this be. ALRxAN-
DER invaded India /; we have invaded Ca
NADIA.
Eut, while cunning men like Mr.. GAS
TON, can thus so swimmingly in their
proofs OF ambition, love of conquest, Sce.
SC. by the aid of verbal artifice, we re.
lease ourselves from the mesh of sophis-
Try, by bold and free effort to grasp
at things, instead of names. This war, if
you please, was of the class, called in tho
books, offensive. But, in its nature, in
its character, il is as Mr.. Calhoun OBJ
served, essentially and absolutely defen.
size. 1t is to defend the persons of our
seamen; it is to frotecs, from disgrace
the national character, that war was wag.
ed and is continued. 1t does, therefore
seem to US very disingenious in Mr.. Gas
ton, to fix upon an obnoxious name, mere
'y that lie might excite train of inappo.
site and incorrect aPpcndages, in the refec-
lions caused.
HuDIHRAs was every whit as fair rea-
soner, as Mr.. CASTOR, in this respect.
Ho says, the man, who gives the first
blow, does not begin the quarrel; but he,
who returns it. Because, there can be no
contest, where the blows are alton one side !;
and the fray is commenced by him, who
makes the battle complete by resistance.
