Now, sir, the country Of my birth stands in the
same relation 10 me, as you do to your children.
She is my mother. Her soil is the cradle Of my
birth, and is the grave OF my ancestors. If she
have lavors TO confer, have right TO them. Ii
she have caresses 10 bestow, they are mine by
birthright. No foreigner can love her as do.
If risk my life for her, am honored when living;


if lose my life for her, am reyered when dead.
Ii foreigner do the same-li he do II against Inc
land of his birth--if he invade this land--if he
sheathe his sword in the bowels OF this mother
if he lay waste her fields, and destroy her cities
if he drench the hearth of his ancestors with the
blood perhaps Of father, in what light is he view
ed by that land! In what light is he viewed by
the surrounding nations? In what light should he
be viewed by ourselvesl Is he an Englishman?
England the land of our ancestors
England which in the midst Of the most furious
storms, like a mighty rock beaten by tie tempest
and lashed by the wayes-slill remains unharmed,
regards him as monster and puts him to an lg-
nominious death. France, Russia Germany--all
Europe--the World in fact stands by, and Juslhes
the deed. There is but one feeling-but one scntl-
ment on this subject II is the language Of nature;
it is the voice of God, resoundmg through the uni-
verse. 1t is found on the throne. 1t dwells IN
the cabin--it exists in the tent Of the Arab--lt re-
sides in the wigwam of the Indian. We ourselves
bow to its sway. We ourselves should regard that
Natire american who draws his sword against us
as monster. But why would we do this! Is it
simply because he is waging war against our
country! No, sir, but because he is waging war
against his own. Is it because he is obeyimg the
mandates Of the land of his adoption? No, sir, but
because IN doing this he commits the crime of trea-
son-treason by the law of naons-treason by
the concurring voice Of the whole world. This,
sir, is or feeling-this is oar judgment guilty,


would be the verdict Of jury-death would be


the sentence Of the judge-and death--death, the


most base and ignomnous-the death which


awaits the murderer,-death under the gallows


(unless executive clemency interfered) would in


evitably follow.
