Tie act Of congress Of ISIS, Gov. L. proceeds
to argue, was never intended, and never hereto,
fore construed to place such restraint upon the
personal liberty Of our citizens as to prevent their

Much less was i; intended to Justify the denun-
citation Of such ofour citizens as should leave our
country under suspicion Of intending to aid
people to throw OF! the yoke Of tyran
ny, as "pirate,,' and their abandonment to what
ever extremity to which they may bo reduced"
The &C; intended no such iuhumani,y-no such
Of personal liberty; it was intend
solely to prevent the fitting out Of warike ex
pedions here to 20 against countries with which
our government is on friendly terms
Yet in the face Of the iuhumau conduct Of our
govermen, in thus condemuing her own citizcas
for violating no law Of hers As pirates and in
the face also Of her criminal Indifference to the
murder IN cold blood of fifty Of her deienceless
citizens at Havana, this organ Of the Fillmore al.
miuis,ra;!on can "rGgrt that Spain las had so
much jos! cause for irritation" Such toad ism to
despoiism is disgrace to our country,
