happy incapacity to enforce her own laws
on her own territory.
We look with great jealousy upon this
bulwark of American personal liberty.
Wherever the American flag floats there is
need that it should protect all beneath
its folds, precisely as if Fortress Monroe
or Fort Sumter should be moved from
their solid foundations and sent to sea.
There is an affecting scene in opera,
where little Christian girl, alone and
unprotected, is menaced by the power Of
o demon. Sheveaches rude emblem of
the Christian faith, clasps it in her arms,
and stands safe, in defiance of her power
full prosecutor. Reverently comparing
profane subjects with sacred, the flag of
the American republic should, in a similar
manner protect all who may grasp it in
any part Of the world, from the demons
Of despotism. No one can Judge the
rights Of an American citizen except al
American tribunal. We assert this in
defiance Of all the attorneys from
the Gays Of Wedderburn. who counseled
the crown that the American colonists
we're represented in the British Parliament,
since the continental possessions of Eng
land were held as 'parcel of the manor of
East Greenwich" and SO represented
through that pretty and perhaps "rotten
berough"-down TO the most eminent at
torney for OF against the crown of the
present. The doctrine attributed to an
eminent advocate and diplomatist tends
to impair these bulvarks of personal
liberty. We should prefe. 20 see these
bulwarks pnt beyond question by action
OF Congress, which should exclude be-
You'd pretense the right Of any nation to
set foot on American soil, or to decide on
its right to protect its occupants.
