from his purpose by tears or eptreaties.
Finding themselves unable to effect any
thing short Of an unconditional removal,
to strange and distant, if not an un-
healthy land, rather than submit they
assumed spirit of indignant deiiancc'
worthy more civilized people. So
far they have proved invincible. Their
weakness has been strengthened by the
G od of Justice, who has repeatedly sent
his destroying angel into the camp of
their oppressors, admonishing him both
of his po,cer and of his displeasure. A
war so cruel, so unrighteous, so un-
justiiiablc, is worthy Of being defended
by Amos Kendall. 1t is hoped no other
individual in this country has fallen so
low in the estimation of mankind as even
to palliate, much less to excuse it. Let
Mr.. Kendall rejoice in the acquisition
Of the mineteen millions Of acres thus
G'audulently obtained, let him look for
ward to the "entcrprise and industry"
it will open to The country, bm let not
The people forget lis cost. Already be-
tween forty and fifty millions Of dollars
are charged to that item of expenditure
hundreds if not thousands of valuable
lives have been lost; and, notwthstand-
ing the repeated assurances of Govern
ment, that the war was cndcd-notwith-
standing the importations of the "Blood
Hounds treachery towards Osce-
ola, sc. sc. Sc the war still continues,
and is likely to continue for years to
come. Let tho people also rocollcct,
that much of this wckedncss is justly
chargcablc to themselves. To sustain
Mr.. Van Burcn's administration is in
effect TO counter this cruelty and TO
participate in these crimes.
"Nor have the interests Of the Navy
been neglected or forgotten. So c0ec-
iually is The commerce Of The country pro-
tecied, mat ace hare lately seen the Brit
ish admiralty, miM lis fire hundred ships,
publicy reproached with The example, Of
The United States m his particular. .
No doubt of the truth Of this assertion:
it is very easy thing for Mr.. Blair to
write such an article, and publish it to
the world, but where ask is the Off
cial evidence Of its having been written
by disintcrestcd or an honest MANI
But suppose it was, does not the world
know better! Is it not an admitted fact,
that the Navy department has been moro
weakly if not more wickedly administer
ed for the last twelve years, than even
that under Mr.. Secretary Woodbury.
So far from British subjects compli-
menting our Navy scarcely paper can
be found printed in that country but
what charges it with gross neglect, or
rather charges this Government with
aiding, abetting and countcnancing that
worst of all Piracy, the Slave Trade
They frequently enquire Why American
cruisers mover capture these pirates,
when so many Of them fall into the
hands Of other nations. The answer
may be given by tho fact, that scores of
vessels have been fitted from the u. S.
for that piracy within the last few years,
and Me Government could not be ignorant
oft. If Mr.. Van Buren, wished to stop
the slave trade in American Bottoms,
why did he not send a proper consul to
Cuba? why has he left the coast Of
Africa to other protection, and why did
he strive so hard to send the Amistad
negroes back to Cuba' Mr.. Kendall
kno,rs rhy, and The ,corld knows why.
No one can mistake the reason, and the
man who can for party purposes, rpri-
vute emolument, put forth an unsolicited,
unexpected and unnecessary address for
the express purpose Of deception, false
in every fact assumed, or made to bear
a false impression, as has been conclu-
sively shown, would stop at nothing
however dishonorable, to carry out his
democratic principles.
A TRUE DEMocRAT.
