strived with what means forced back the enemy,
and braved that worst of foes, the lurking pestence
then ranging so violently in Granada. And but for
new influence which regret to say comes but little
less from my own than from foreign country, we
might still have been in arms in Nicaragua.
Probably we had no right to expect sympathy of
the British even if determined at the sacrifice of the
honor and rights of British officers. need not tell you
that officers of the British navy forgetting the swords
by their Sides and pretending to have honor in their
hearts, encouraged deserton from our army 1t could
only have been that they acted under orders from
their government, which they dare not disobey-
which it would have been worse than disgrace for
them to refuse to execute. We had right to look
upon the persecution of the British any thing else
than their usual policy toward weak and detenseless
natans But we had right to look for better things
from Americans yet, blush to say, our worst enc
mics were Americans. Oh that hey had been born
in other country! 1t is to our shame that they
should breathe the same air with honest Americans.
1t not until the last exgency that of reverse and
danger, that an American, bearing the name and
arms of an officer of the American navy, consum.
mated what British interference had begun. 1t is
duty owe to myself to explain why we are no longer
in amrms that no matter how insignificant might
be representative of the American government,
should respect the American flag in him, were he no
more than Sergeant of Marines, as much as in the
President himself and that in surrendering to Capt
Davis, l reserved the right of appeal-not to the
Government but to the Governors the people
themselves.
The General proceeded to speak, in an imprisoned
manner, of the conduct of Captain Davis in Selling
tba rya,
covered herself with impershable glory, in her con-
quest of the Costa Ricau brig, the Oncede ArTa. A
more brilliant victory of Americans against superior
force had not taken place in American annals from
the time of Paul Jones down Z; and the day would
come when Americans would look upon the affair OF
the Granada and the Once de Avrl as one of the
proudest records of their race. He described, in
burning language, the shame and indignation of the
Americans in Nicaragua, upon Captain Davis seizing
the Granada and crushing them in the hour of thei
seyerest trial. He attributed the action of Davis tt
the instructions of the Government at Washing
| ton, and those instructions to abolition influence
The Minister to England, and the Abotionists al
the North, had determined upon the exclusion o
slavery from place over which Americans had nj
control He cared not what might be the ideas o
those present. or what they might say in justification

British intrigue, in the desire to confound the rels
tions of those governments with our domestic instr
tions
The General did not he said, wish to excite pot
cal feeling on the subject. 1t was unfortunate, PEI
haps that he was born on Southern soil, and it nigh
be unfortunate that he could not consider slavery
moral or political wrong. His teachings had no
perhaps been of the Wherefore school, and h
might have touched too sensitive point, but he fe
that he had struck only on the pivot of British int
ference. He alluded to the high moral worth of La
Casas, the Spanish priest, who was the head an
front of the slavery offending He introduced SLAYER
in the 10th century, in order to relieve the Indian
, from the subsection of the Spanish. 1t were bette
that he had fixed it not only in Cuba, but in othG
regions of Central America. Las Casas far MOI

- The General was bosterousy cheered upon conc
ding as, indeed, he had been, at intervals, through
the whole of his speech. Our resume is necessar
imperfect, but it contains the salt of the speech.
