the Daniel Webster who, at the time and ever
since, denied the justice on the part Of America
in the late war with England Aye, the same,

thirteen hundred Of our merchant vessels, nearly
all practically He denied lis justice, though
more than SIX THOUSAND of our stamen had been
Impressed. not single one of whom they had a
| right to touch, and portion of HON they after
wards shot down at Dartmoor like wild beasts
He denied its justice, though our very coasts and
harbors had been again and again violated by
their bloody aggressions our people murdered
by their cannon shot off New York but loads
of them returned wounded and dying to Norfolk
when the Chesa peake was attacked within our
