Our second war with Great Britain
began Officially on June Is, 1872
There have been no very wide prepa
rations for celebrating the centenary
of that struggl, but there will be al
least local celebrations Of some Of
the battles. The first of these or
land was distinctly adverse to thu
Americans. Detroit being surrender.
ed by General Hull on Aug. l6. Il
is safe to say that we shall do nc
large amount of celebrating on that
date. The Canucks may, but If SC
win they please keep it to them
selves?
Three days before that black
event there was sea victory, the
American Alert whipping the Brit
ish Essex, three days after Hull
struck his colors another man of tho
same name, Commodore Isaac Hui
commanding the Constitution, de-
feated and burned the Guerrero
That was a famous battle, and fhe
one hundredth anniversary of it on
Aug. 10 should not be allowed to
pass without fitting observance. The
Constitution, "Old lronsides," Won
several other fights in that war.
These were but the beginning Of
our sea victories. The Wasp won
two battles. The United States
Hornet and others also did their part
toward humbling the proud navy OF
England. The winning of the war
at sea was all the more crushing
because the cause Of the conflict had
been the impressment Of American
seamen. Free trade and sailors
rights" was the battlecry. 1t was
the British navy that had done the
offending, and it was the British
navy that took the beating. Tha.
was poetic justice.
The greatest American naEal tri-
umphs did not occur on the Atlantic
however, but on the lakes. Perry on
Lake Erie and Marlborough on Lake
Champlain scored two successes that
will be remembered as long as there
is An American republic. Perry's
victory opened the way for General
William Henry Harrison to win the
battle of the Thames. General Win.
field Scott gained his first laurels in
this war when he triumphed at Lun
dy's Lane.
Second to Hull's surrender tha
worst blow suffered by the Ameri.
cans was the capture OF Washington
and the burning Of the White House
and the capitol. The redcoats failed
in their attack on Baltimore, how
ever, fact of which we have q
noble and perpetual reminder in the
"Star Spangled Banner" written
during that battle.
