Daring his stay in Boston, Henry is supposed 10
have been more occupied with public romen than
with public men. At oil events, his mission was q
blank. (a.)
Although this sounds mighty foolish ard mighty
frothy, IT was warranted by the party language of
the times. Yes, when your adventurous seamen
we're seized like icons-their projections torn and
with bitter mockety thrown ia their faces by Brit
ish I.'eutenanls, who stepping into an American
ship, were at once aocuscr, witness, Judge and emp
tor for any part Of the crew. and who while plead
ing the difficulty of distinguishing an American
from al Englishman, on account Of language, kid
mapped Danes, S,ccdcs dnd other foreigners on board
who could scarcely speak Englsh-when your free
born seamen stripped at the gang ways of
British ships, and bnheied with ropes ends, or
dashed BY British boaiswoin's rratcs until life be.

fred upon in time of peace, as though she hod been
on oyster scow, and captured, her decks flowing
with blood her crew overhauled with British officers
and four of them seized as uncei enormously as
watchmen would arrest rioters in grog shop, one
Of whom was hanged, and the other three although
American citizens, dragged away to boudage-ycs,
when such things we're of daily occurrence, the
language of party encouraged foreign irtrgucs.
You are better republicans nop. On recent oc-
casion, however men might disapprove Of the posi-
ton assumed by the head of your administration

too confident in your republican unanmity or DEM
ocratic virtue. Uknteper has been mnyb be. Domestic
dissenions might again entice foreign in erferencs
and as rest assured. Canada will be the point from
which action will proceed, it consequently would
be the part Of wisdom, when an opportunity. offers
to mike yourselves safe, in quarter so dangerous
to the we-beiDg os democracy in America.
The British king has called the attention Of his
Parliament to Canadian afaire. The people of
Canada will require them to be handled cautiously
and will submit to much of organic change or
temporary interference, suits their pleasure, and
nothing more. Canada is not like Ireland, twelve
hours from the English coast and garrisoned by
fifty regiments, in addition to embodied police.
Already that indicnton is universal which invara-
bly, marks the birth of the first determination in a
people to resist while yet fearful of their own weak
ness. and ignorant Of how far they can depend up
each other.
