Slit-l have received the Address of -‘ The Convention of Republican Delegates from the several counties of the state of New-Jersey," explaining the sentiments entertained at this crisis, by that portion of my constituents. The sentiments are worthy the Character of citizens who know the value of the national rights at stake in the present contest,and who are willingr to do justice to the sincere and persevering efforts which have been employ- ed to obtain respect to them, without a resort to arms. The conduct of the nation against whom this resort has been proclaimed, left no choice but between that and the greater evil, of a surrender of our sovereignty on the element on which all nations have equal rights, and in the free use of which, the U. States, as a nation whose agriculture and commerce are so closely allied, have an essential interest. The appeal to force in opposition to force, so long continued against us, had become the more urgent, as every endeavor short of it had not only been fruitless but had been fol- but to destroy our lawful commerce as interfering with her own unlawful commerce, with her enemies. The only foundation of this ats tempt to banish the American ilagg from the highway of nations, or to render it wholly subservient to the Commercial views of the British government, is the absurd and exploded doctrine, that the. ocean not less than the land is susceptible of occupancy and dominion ; that this dominion is in the hands of Great Britain, and that her laws, not the law of nations, which is ours as well as hers, are to regulate our ~\ H rentninzn ruin In}?
