GREAT TEMPTATIONS TO MAKE wAB., 81. 5.
But do remember and cannot forget that WH
have sixteen hundred thousand naturaltzed
lrtshmen in this country, every one eagert0i
avenge the wrongs done his motherland,t the;
Green isle Of the ocean an by British tyranny, Which
that they require no urging to join ur,arhe8 In
war with their oppressors, but are prevented byS
the repressive hand OF our government In the In
ties OF amity. from making war on their own ac-i
count and that If We did not hinder them they
would take Canada by contract In sixty days. r
cannot but recall the truth that our Southern
who fought against the government with vain !,
attempt to rid themselves OF the glorious memory
or lis history are impattently longing to dght
once more under the starry folds ofthe old nag.
to defend their country again in foreign war,
and specially one with Great BritaT6-not loved
by them any more than by us-and It would bring
us oil together again, uniting Us with one nag,
one country, and one destiny. In SO much Is this
reunion the hope Of the patriot that one feels NJ
most TO doubt whether to achieve It would not be-
worth all the loss Of blood and treasure IN such a.
war. Again. let me not forget that 1t would be 10
war upon the ocean-never an expensive one
and wnere the most brilliant laurels of American
arms have been won. And i. cannot fall 70 per-
celVe that the saving OF money BY the non impor.
tatlon OF British goud5 and the stimulus given TO-
American production, would quite equal al the
expenditures Of the war. I can never forget that
II such war We have no commerce 10 Sloses,
Quite all our ships are gone already because OF
,he warlike acts Of Engand's cruisers, which wee
have SO long suffered in Insulting silence although;
We know that we can sweep the Saile
