proceedings. We also publish the Presi-

which has been the effects of the special
message Of our indefaligablc President.
We admit it is not much TERRITORY that
we are contending for, yet it is the prin-
ciple; Great Britain ought by this time, to
know that she cannot trample upon our
citizens or rights with impunity. We
can give her another lesson, probably, that
will show her, If we quarrel among our.
selves, we are united against foreign foe.
