Mr.. Clagett, iii his speech on the pension
bill, said" The soldier OF the revolution
has a stronger claim than that OF mere cha
ity. You promised him wages, food and
raiment, while fghing the battles of his
country and defending her Liberties. How
were these promises performed ? You pro-
missed iorty shillings per month but. when
received, forty dollars would not purchase a
pair OF shoes ; no, not q dinner. You pro-
missed him food and raiment convenient for
him but, alas the history of our country
records against US the non-performance OF
these promises and the very footsteps OF
the Promisss established the fact"

substance of the above paragraph. The
first step the United States took to ac-
complish the object in view, was to hu-
initiate those itrocious baibarians TO a
sense of Justice towards them. Sipce
that memorable period, they have judlc-
iousiy kept on the alert, in the Meditera-
mean Sea, small but. competent squad
ron Of observation, to prevent them from
committing depredations on It's extend
ed commerce, the expence Of which in
national point Of view, is trifling indeed,
compared with the incalculsbe advanta-
ges evidently realized. Thus, with
firmness undaunted. was demonstrated
in those seas of pirates, (havirg Europe
on the north, Africa on the south. and
Asia on the east,) heroic specimen OF
that determined and invincible spirit
which sustains the "siar sbangLed ban

magical eject on the minds Of those free
hooters, as to command national respect,
that substantial respect which guarantees
freedom to our mariners from cruel bon

within the resources OF tie stale, without

wants of his slave holding people, but
moreover disturbed tie solar system, and
wro"ght miracle on purpose to secure for
Israel tie inheritance Of such possession.
