Il Great and old Wrong.-Historians
are certainly chargeable with the deprava-
ton of mankind, when thoy relate without
censure those stratagems of war by wl,icl.
the virtues of an enemy arc engaged to his
destruction. A ship comes before port,
weathes-bsaten and shattered, and the crew
imploro tls liberty of repairing their brea.
ches, supplying themselves with nccessarics,
or burying their dead. The humanity of
the inhabitants iuclines them TO consent,
the strangers enter the town with weapons
concealed, fall suddenly upon their Lcnefac-
tors, destroy those that make resistance,
and become masters Of the place; they re.
turn home rich with plunder, and their
success is recorded to encourage imitation.
But surely war has its laws, and ought
to DO conducted with some regard to the
universal interest Of man. Those may
justly be pursued as enemies to the COM
munity of nature, who suffer hostility to
vacate the unaltorable laws of right, and
pursure their private advantage BY means
which, if once established, must destroy
Kindness, cut off from every man all hopes
of assistance from another, and fill the world
with perpetual suspicion and implacable ma
levoIence. Whatever is thus regained
ought to be restored and those who have
conquered by such treachery may. be Justly
denied the protection Of their nativascoun-
try.
