says unparalleled infamy and brutality are

law of nations, and is is especially encum-
bent upon this republicto take into consid-
Grafton the question whether such govern
ment shall be permitted to hold sway over
an Island almost within sight of our shores,
and to insult by such iagrant acts the chris
tianity and civilizationof our age.
