These are the immigrants thousands of whom are now going home to s spend the winter. * When immigrants came in sailing vessels and it took three or four sweeks to make the trip they brought their wives and children with them and stayed. The early immigration which settled the thirteen’ colonies was permanent.

Second Quarrel With | i England. 6 HE Yankees cannot be kicked into a war!” s This is but one,sentence of columns of coarse abuse of our country which filled the English papers in 1812. War clouds hag bpathered Again and America was to be invaded a second time by British see | foes. Here, briefly, are the causes lending to the conflict: France and England were at. war. Bach tried to cripple fhe other financially by ruining {ts commerce. England forbade American ships to trade with France. France forbade Aimerican ships to trade with England, Between the two, our forefgn trade was at a standstill and our rising pros- perity checked, English warships seized our merchant vessels. We, had nO navy strong enough to prevent this or to retaliate. Then Great Britain | Went a step further and began to hold up -and search American ships ~ for supposed British deserters, and: forcitly to kidnap American. sallorg, and force them to enter the British navy. It is necdless* to say Eng- Innd had no imofe right to do this than a prize-fighter would have the” | right:to enter the house of a weaker man and curry away the latter's chil- dren fs slaves. But England was trresistibly: strong at se | almost no/nara! power. Thus, inside of nine tnonths, .271 ‘Americans were, _ seized and (on ‘the false charge of being British deserters) were made to ‘serve on Englund’s warships. A British squadron safled to Old Potat Com- fort, Va., in June, 1807, and demanded that four sailors aboard the U. 3. ship Chesapeake bé given ip’as deserters, Commodore Barron, of the Chesapeake, perasedy Whereupon the British frigate, Leopard, opened fire on the Chesapeake, wrecking. her, killing or wounding twenty-one of her crew, then boarding the, shattered hulk and carrying off several men to blown up by unknown agency In Sy rich waters coul not be re a sented. As it was, the people of the United States were wild with indigna- 5H tion. But President Jefferson, by stern measures, managed for the time ta repress the popular tumult and to stave off war. As he afterward wrote: “Tf had only to open my hend to let havoc loose.” And, in truth, “havoc"’ was a mild word for the case. Not only England, but France and Spain as well, seemed on the point of declaring war on us. ° Still weak from the eee and needing all our scanty strength to keep life In our new-born nation, Were without means to oppose such an avalanche of enemics. Hence, Je! son was wise in Seeking to restore quiet. The “big. stic he .used was wielded in behalf of peace. Had It been otherwise the whole later history of our country might have been changed for the woyse, Jefferson hit on a | seemingly sure way of punishing the hostile powers, { He decreed an embargo. This measure’s chief end was to forbid the | United States to trade with any foreign power. In other words, Burope was | cut off from using our tobacco, cotton, &c. “wares. Jefrer “tobacco imports, was finan- ‘clally ruined by his own decree and died » noor man because of it. Had the fuation at targe fottowet his exampte and obeyed the Hubareo, Durope would nd the war of 1812 never have ‘been, fought. But It {a easier to shout for glory or, sometimes, even to ‘fight; than to submit to the cutting down of one’s bank roll or gaing without luxuries. The American people sacrificed true patriotism to love of money. They evaded the EBmbargo in numberless instances; managed to smuggie cargos through to Europe and to buy foreign goods Af Government officials whose duty it was to enforce the Embargo actually permitted the —- | legal sailing or arrival of merchant vessels. thanks to his own people's greed, Jefferson's splendid masterpiece « ata manship, which should have brought England quickly to terms, tailed in Its main object and served only to delay the war by a very few years. The country at large did not stand by Its President, For this disloyalty and yearning for wealth the whole nation was soon to pay a terrible price, not jonly in gold but tn human life, But at the time America had no wish to |mar her young commerce and her business success by any war; and pre- . ferred to submit to insult Except for the ae jingo spirit momentarily aroused in 1807, the | » When Wealth idea of war to protect our honor was distasteful Outwelghed Glory, to the land at large. So when, tn 1809, Madison i! %, Succeeded Jefferson as President, the trouble with England was‘not yet cleared up and was yearly growing more serious. The men whose fathers had gladly risked Ufe - and fortune for liberty hung back from a second national struggle. A report | presented In 1809 to the Massachusetts Legisiatnre avms up the attnation i “Our agriculture {s discouraged, fisheries abandoned, navigation for- ma bidden, commerce restrained If not annihilated, our navy sold, dismantled or sald praded, the revenue extinguished ° * * the nation weakened by internal animosities and divisions at the moment when {t {5 unnecessarily and im- British.warships still cruised off our chief ports, capturing our merchang _ | vessels and sending them to England as prizes. British spies stirred up the Western Indians to border, Sa LENS: British papers reviled our country im shameful terms, it At last even the patlent, peace-loving American people could endure, | the ignominy no longer.
