Resolution ola teicrai meeting
IN Boston.
A resolution was intro
duced in the Massachusetts
legislature, for a vote of
thanks TO the gallant Captain
Lawrence, for his capture OF
the British brig "Peacock."
But instead of passing il, the
federal majority adopted the
following, "necer TO be for
gotten, and ever to be ipfa-
nous resolve :"
January Is, 1918. Resolved,
That, in n warlike the present.
waged without justifiableI
cause, it is not becoming a
moral and religious people TO
express any appreciation OF
military or naval exploits
which are not Immediately
connected with the defence'ol
our seacoast and soil.
''All the evils which afiliciI
the country, are imputed 10,
the opposition. Ii is said to-
De owing to The opposition
that it has been prosecuted
with no better success. This, (
.ir, is no new strain. Ii is
lhe constant tune of every
weak or wretched admins |
ration.
Utterly astonished Mt the
declaration of war, | have
been surprised ut nothingi
since. saw how it would
be prosecuted when saw
how il was begun. There is
,s Interchangeable relation be-
.ween rash counsels and fee
ole execution.
"The opposition is constl-
tutional and legal. 1t is also
conscientious. 1t rests in set
lied and sober conviction that
such policy 1.-THE warl is des-
tructive TO the interests OF the
people, and dangerous TO the
being OF government"
He thus exnlted at the de-
feat of our arms and the MUIR
ferrous inroads of the savages:
" This is not the entertain
nent 10 which we were invi-
Ted. We are told that theset
,lisappointrnents are owing
TO the opposition which the
war encounters. This is mol
new strain. 1t is the constant
tune of every weak or wick
ed administration n-Er-
tracts from DANIEL Websfei's
speech, delivered in Congress
~ 1914.
"Mr. Jelferson's best act
was now performed he re-
tired from office. To him
succeeded Madison. A per.
feet parallel in political feel
ing, he pursued the same ru-l
nous course; a mere sutel-l 4,
lite and appendage 10 a
wretch whose friendship il
founded in perhdy."
The events of the late
war completely characterize
the administration. 1t was
commenced in wickedness,
prosecuted with weakness,
ind closed with disgrace !'-l
