A View of the Rights and Wrongs, Power and Policy, of the United States of America - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The endurance of the United States of A merica, tinder belligerent wrongs, has been so protracted and uncomplaining, that the assertion of American neutral rights will probably be accounted, in Europe, if not here, a novel and bold measure. We have submitted, during so long a period, to the privations of war, as if we were a party to it, always without solemn opposition, and mostly without remonstrance, that even the citizens of this country are become but too insensible to their natural immunities, and the great belligerents have ceased to profess any regard for them. But the conjuncture having at last arrived, wlien the assertion of our rights is forced from us by the dilemma into whlcli we arc driven, it behoves us, in order to a manly repulsion of our wrongs, to understand and appreciate the privileges that accrued with the acknowledgment of our independence, and to proclaim to the world our resolution and our ability to maintain them hereafter inviolate. One aggression has led to another, till the devouring depredations of the first-rate maritime powers of Europe have swallowed up the natural and indefeasible relations of neutrality.
