The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-08-14

The Baltimore American" compliments the Sc
res of papers which have appeared in the WASH
ington "Union" by can Officer in the Navy" who
gives "much valuable information of things on the
coast of Africa" The American agrees with their
author in the opinion which he expresses about
the outrage perpetrated by the commander of
British cruiser on the colonial vessel "the John
Seyes, belonging to the port Of Monrovia." 1t
states, that this outrage has excited no small
Indignation in this country" "The vessel was
seized because the colonial authorities at Monroe
via levied upon some goods belonging to the cargo
of British vessel which refused to pay the custom
airy duties. The British commander declared that
he would not recognise the colonial flag, nor admit
that the colony had any right to levy duties. Who
ever will consider for a moment the origin and his
tory of the colonial settlement in Liberia must per-
ceve in this act wanton and most fragrant outrage,
by which advantage is taken of superior strength to
tyrannze over and insult defcnceless community"
The American repeats the description which our
correspondent gives of the people of Monrovia,
and concludes that sit is upon people like this, SO
organized, so sefgoverned, so promising in respect
to future results that England practses oppression
in the suppositon, probably that she can do it with
impunity But the spirit Of Chrstendom must be
extinct before she can do So" And yet England
processes to be the great champion of emancipation.
