Republic, Inhabited lay free m.n resolved TO
defcad their courtry From the hrst, It was
allowed by me, that wo should DO immense
mischief; that we might burn many villages,
towns, and cities, destroy mills and rnahuiac'
tories, apd lay waste lands upon the coast, 10
the great loss and distress of numerous indl-
viduals. But, al the same time, anticipated,
that these acts would only tend TO unite the
Americans, and in the end, produce such a
haired against US, as would net only render
final success impossible, but, as would lend
to shut Us out from ell future connexion and
intercourse With that great and fertile region
There seemed TO be wanting just such war
as this TO complete the separation OF Engiaho
from America aud to make the latter feel,
that she had no safety against tho former, but
IN the arms of her free Citizeps, We were
iold, ss the reader will recoliect, that the
Eastern Sfcfes would, IN case OF war, separate
hem selves from tho rest Of the UNION, ana
ioin the mselves to us. But, IL now appears
hat our first grand stroke Of destruction was
given in these our favorite States. SfonnS-
Ton we are told, is der.ohshed /; and New-LoT-
don is, we are told, about to share the same
fate. These places lie in our tavorite otaic
of Counccticul, in the midst Of the eastern
States, who were to Join Us AGAINST thei' own
republican government !-Tbis fac. is, OF IL
self, sufficient to overcast all the stories about
the separation of these States. These States
now see what they have TO expect at our
hands and indeed, they dic, ,hot want to see
their towns destroyed, in order 10 be convine-
ed that their safety lay in their firm obedience
