CHAP. I.
<br>
<br>President's Message--Causes of the War--Energetic Measures proposed.
<br>
<br>NOW it came to pass , in the one thousand eight hundred and twelfth year of the Christian era , and in the thirty and sixth year after the people of the provinces of Columbia had declared themselves <span class="delete">independent of all the kingdoms of the earth</span> ;
<br>
<br>2 That in the sixth month of the same year , on the first day of the month , the chief Governor , whom the people had chosen to rule over the land of Columbia ;
<br>
<br>3 Even James , whose <span class="delete">sur-name</span> was Madison , delivered a written paper* to the Great Sanhedrim** of the people , who were assembled together.
<br>
<br>* President's Manifesto.
<br>
<br>** Congress.
<br>
<br>4 And the name of the city where the people were gathered together was called after the name of the chief captain of the land of Columbia , whose fame extendeth to the uttermost parts of the earth <span class="delete">:</span> albeit , he had <span class="delete">gone to the land of</span> his fathers.
<br>
<br>5 Nevertheless , the people loved him , <span class="delete">inasmuch</span> as he wrought their deliverance from the yoke of tyranny in times past <span class="delete">:</span> so they called the city Washington.
<br>
<br>6 Now , when the written paper was received , the doors of the chambers of the Great Sanhedrim were closed , and a seal was put upon every man's mouth.
<br>
<br>7 And the counsellors of the nation , and the wise men thereof , ordered the written paper which James had delivered unto them to be read aloud ; and the interpretation thereof was in this wise :
<br>
<br>8 Lo ! the lords and the princes of the kingdom of Britain , in the fulness of their pride and power , have trampled upon the altar of Liberty , and violated the sanctuary thereof :
<br>
<br>9 Inasmuch as they hearkened not unto the voice of moderation , when the <span class="delete">voice</span> of the people of Columbia was , Peace ! peace !
<br>
<br>10 Inasmuch as they permitted not the tall ships of Columbia to sail in peace on the waters of the mighty deep ; saying in their hearts , <span class="delete">These spoils</span> shall be given unto the king.
<br>
<br>11 Inasmuch as they robbed the ships of Columbia of the Strong men that wrought therein , and <span class="delete">used</span> them for their own use , even as a man <span class="delete">useth</span> his ox or his ass.
<br>
<br>12 Inasmuch as they kept the men stolen from the ships of Columbia in bondage many years , and caused them to fight the battles of the king , even against their own brethren ! neither gave they unto them silver or gold , but many stripes.
<br>
<br>13 Now the men of Columbia were not like unto the <span class="delete">slaves</span> of Britain ; <span class="delete">neither were their backs</span> hardened unto the whip , as were the servants of the king ; therefore they murmured , and their murmurings have been heard.
<br>
<br>14 Moreover the Council of Britain sent forth a Decree to all the nations of the earth , sealed with the signet of the Prince Regent , who governed the nation in the name of the king his father ; for <span class="delete">,</span> lo ! the king was possessed of an evil spirit , and his son reigned in his stead.
<br>
<br>15 <span class="delete">For the lords of the kingdom of Britain loved to dwell under the shadow of George the King , and under the shadow of George his son.
<br>
<br>16</span> Now this Decree of the Council of Britain was a grievous thing , inasmuch as it permitted not those who dealt in merchandize to go <span class="delete">whithersoever</span> they chose , and trade freely with all parts of the earth.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>17</span> And it fell hard upon the people of Columbia ; for the king said unto them , Ye shall come unto me and pay tribute , then may ye depart to another country.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>18</span> Now these things pleased the pirates and the cruisers <span class="delete">and all the sea-robbers</span> of Britain mightily , <span class="delete">inasmuch as they could rob with impunity</span> the commerce of Columbia <span class="delete">, under the cloak of British honor.
<br>
<br>19</span> Furthermore , have not the servants of the king leagued with the savages of the wilderness , and given unto them silver and gold , and placed the destroying engines in their hands ?
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>20</span> Thereby stirring up the spirit of Satan within them , that they might spill the blood of the people of Columbia ; even the blood of our old men , our wives , and our little ones !
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>21 Thus hath Britain</span> in her heart commenced War against the people of Columbia , whilst they <span class="delete">have</span> cried aloud for peace : and when she smote them on the one cheek they <span class="delete">have</span> turned unto her the other also.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>22</span> Now , therefore , shall we the independent people of Columbia , sit down silently , as slaves , and bow the neck to Britain ?
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>23</span> Or , shall we <span class="delete">nobly , and</span> like our forefathers , assert our rights , and defend that which the Lord hath given unto us <span class="delete">, Liberty and Independence</span> ?

<br>Even James , whose <span class="delstrike">sur-name</span> <span class="insert">sir-name</span> was Madison , delivered a written paper* to the Great Sanhedrim** of the people , who were assembled together.
<br>
<br>* President's Manifesto.
<br>
<br>** Congress.
<br>
<br>And the name of the city where the people were gathered together was called after the name of the chief captain of the land of Columbia , whose fame extendeth to the uttermost parts of the earth <span class="delstrike">:</span> <span class="insert">;</span> albeit , he had <span class="delstrike">gone to the land of</span> <span class="insert">slept with</span> his fathers.
<br>
<br>Nevertheless , the people loved him , <span class="delstrike">inasmuch</span> <span class="insert">forasmuch</span> as he wrought their deliverance from the yoke of tyranny in times past <span class="delstrike">:</span> <span class="insert">;</span> so they called the city Washington.
<br>
<br>Now , when the written paper was received , the doors of the chambers of the Great Sanhedrim were closed , and a seal was put upon every man's mouth.
<br>
<br>And the counsellors of the nation , and the wise men thereof , ordered the written paper which James had delivered unto them to be read aloud ; and the interpretation thereof was in this wise :
<br>
<br>Lo ! the lords and the princes of the kingdom of Britain , in the fulness of their pride and power , have trampled upon the altar of Liberty , and violated the sanctuary thereof :
<br>
<br>Inasmuch as they hearkened not unto the voice of moderation , when the <span class="delstrike">voice</span> <span class="insert">cry</span> of the people of Columbia was , Peace ! peace !
<br>
<br>Inasmuch as they permitted not the tall ships of Columbia to sail in peace on the waters of the mighty deep ; saying in their hearts , <span class="delstrike">These spoils</span> <span class="insert">Of these will we make spoil , and they</span> shall be given unto the king.
<br>
<br>Inasmuch as they robbed the ships of Columbia of the Strong men that wrought therein , and <span class="delstrike">used</span> <span class="insert">took</span> them for their own use , even as a man <span class="delstrike">useth</span> <span class="insert">taketh</span> his ox or his ass.
<br>
<br>Inasmuch as they kept the men stolen from the ships of Columbia in bondage many years , and caused them to fight the battles of the king , even against their own brethren ! neither gave they unto them silver or gold , but many stripes.
<br>
<br>Now the men of Columbia were not like unto the <span class="delstrike">slaves</span> <span class="insert">men</span> of Britain ; <span class="delstrike">neither were their backs</span> <span class="insert">for their backs were not</span> hardened unto the whip , as were the servants of the king ; therefore they murmured , and their murmurings have been heard.
<br>
<br>Moreover <span class="insert">,</span> the Council of Britain sent forth a Decree to all the nations of the earth , sealed with the signet of the Prince Regent , who governed the nation in the name of the king his father ; for <span class="delstrike">,</span> lo ! the king was possessed of an evil spirit , and his son reigned in his stead.
<br>
<span class="delstrike"><br>For the lords of the kingdom of Britain loved to dwell under the shadow of George the King , and under the shadow of George his son.
<br></span>
<br>Now this Decree of the Council of Britain was a grievous thing , inasmuch as it permitted not those who dealt in merchandize to go <span class="delstrike">whithersoever</span> <span class="insert">whither soever</span> they chose , and <span class="insert">to</span> trade freely with all parts of the earth.
<br>
<br>And it fell hard upon the people of Columbia ; for the king said unto them , Ye shall come <span class="insert">with your vessels</span> unto me and pay tribute , then may ye depart to another country.
<br>
<br>Now these things pleased the pirates and the cruisers <span class="delstrike">and all the sea-robbers</span> of Britain mightily , <span class="delstrike">inasmuch as they could rob with impunity</span> <span class="insert">because it permitted them to rob</span> the commerce of Columbia <span class="delstrike">, under the cloak of British honor.</span> <span class="insert">with impunity.</span>
<br>
<br>Furthermore , have not the servants of the king leagued with the savages of the wilderness , and given unto them silver and gold , and placed the destroying engines in their hands ?
<br>
<br>Thereby stirring up the spirit of Satan within them , that they might spill the blood of the people of Columbia ; even the blood of our old men , our wives , and our little ones !
<br>
<br>Thus <span class="delstrike">hath Britain</span> <span class="insert">, had Britain ,</span> in her heart <span class="insert">,</span> commenced War against the people of Columbia , whilst they <span class="delstrike">have</span> cried aloud for peace : and when she smote them on the one cheek they <span class="delstrike">have</span> turned unto her the other also.
<br>
<br>Now , therefore , shall we <span class="insert">,</span> the independent people of Columbia , sit down silently , as slaves , and bow the neck to Britain ?
<br>
<br>Or , shall we <span class="delstrike">nobly , and</span> <span class="insert">,</span> like our forefathers , <span class="insert">nobly</span> assert our rights , and defend that <span class="insert">Liberty and Independence</span> which the Lord hath given unto us <span class="delstrike">, Liberty and Independence</span> ?

<br>President's Message--Causes of the War--Energetic Measures proposed.
<br>
<br>NOW it came to pass , in the one thousand eight hundred and twelfth year of the Christian era , and in the thirty and sixth year after the people of the provinces of Columbia had declared themselves <span class="insert">a free and independent nation</span> ;
<br>
<br>2 That in the sixth month of the same year , on the first day of the month , the chief Governor , whom the people had chosen to rule over the land of Columbia ;
<br>
<br>3 Even James , whose <span class="insert">sir-name</span> was Madison , delivered a written paper* to the Great Sanhedrim** of the people , who were assembled together.

<br>
<br>4 And the name of the city where the people were gathered together was called after the name of the chief captain of the land of Columbia , whose fame extendeth to the uttermost parts of the earth <span class="insert">;</span> albeit , he had <span class="insert">slept with</span> his fathers.
<br>
<br>5 Nevertheless , the people loved him , <span class="insert">forasmuch</span> as he wrought their deliverance from the yoke of tyranny in times past <span class="insert">;</span> so they called the city Washington.
<br>

<br>
<br>7 And the counsellors of the nation , and the wise men thereof , ordered the written paper which James had delivered unto them to be read aloud ; and the interpretation thereof was in this wise :

<br>8 Lo ! the lords and the princes of the kingdom of Britain , in the fulness of their pride and power , have trampled upon the altar of Liberty , and violated the sanctuary thereof :

<br>
<br>10 Inasmuch as they permitted not the tall ships of Columbia to sail in peace on the waters of the mighty deep ; saying in their hearts , <span class="insert">Of these will we make spoil , and they</span> shall be given unto the king.
<br>
<br>11 Inasmuch as they robbed the ships of Columbia of the Strong men that wrought therein , and <span class="insert">took</span> them for their own use , even as a man <span class="insert">taketh</span> his ox or his ass.

<span class="insert"><br>21</span> Now , therefore , shall we <span class="insert">,</span> the independent people of Columbia , sit down silently , as slaves , and bow the neck to Britain ?

<br>
<br>NOW , when there was an end made of reading the paper which James had written , the Sanhedrim communed one with another touching the <span class="delete">matter.</span>
<br>
<br>2 And they chose certain wise men from among them to deliberate thereon.

<br>3 And they commanded them to go forth from their presence , for that purpose , and return again on the third day of the same month.

<br>4 Now , when the third day arrived , at the eleventh hour of the day , they came forth and presented themselves before the Great Sanhedrim of the people.

<br>
<br>6 Behold ! day and night have we meditated upon the words which James hath delivered , and we are weary withal , for <span class="delete">our hearts wished</span> peace.
<br>
<br>7 But the wickedness of the kingdom of Great Britain , and the cruelty of the princes thereof , towards the peaceable inhabitants of the land of Columbia , may be likened unto the fierce lion , when he putteth his paw upon the innocent lamb to devour him.
<br>
<br>8 Nevertheless , the lamb shall not be slain ; for the Lord <span class="delete">will</span> be his deliverer.
<br>
<br>9 And if , peradventure , the people of Columbia go not out to battle against the king , then will the manifold wrongs committed against them be increased <span class="delete">ten-fold</span> , and they shall be as a mock and a bye-word among all nations.
<br>
<br>10 Moreover , the righteousness of your cause shall lead you to glory , and the pillars of your liberty shall not be shaken.
<br>
<br>11 Therefore , say we unto you , Gird on your swords and go forth to battle against the king ; even against the strong powers of Britain ; and the Lord God of Hosts be with you.
<br>
<br>12 Now when the great Sanhedrim of the people heard those things which the wise men had uttered , they pondered them in their minds many days , and weighed them <span class="delete">well.</span>
<br>
<br>13 Even until the seventeenth day of the month pondered they in secret concerning the matter.
<br>
<br>14 And it was so , that on the next day they sent forth a Decree , making WAR upon the kingdom of Great Britain , and upon the servants and upon the slaves thereof.
<br>
<br>15 And the Decree was signed with the hand writing of James , the chief Governor of the land of Columbia.
<br>
<br>16 After these things , the doors of the chambers of the Sanhedrim were opened.

<br>Reception of the Declaration of War in Great Britain--her friends in America--Caleb Strong--Hartford Convention.
<br>
<br>AND it came to pass , that when the princes and the lords and the counsellors of Britain saw the Decree , their wrath was kindled , and their hearts were ready to burst with indignation.
<br>
<br>2 For , verily , said they , this insult hath overflowed the cup of our patience ; and now will we chastise the impudence of these Yankees , and the people of Columbia shall bow before the king.
<br>
<br>3 <span class="delete">(Now the word Yankees was used by the people of Britain as a term of reproach.)
<br>
<br>4</span> Then will we rule them with a rod of iron ; and they shall be , unto us , hewers of wood and drawers of water.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>5</span> For , verily , shall we suffer these cunning Yankees to beard the mighty lion , with half a dozen fir-built frigates , the men whereof are but mercenary cowards <span class="delete">, bastards and outlaws ?
<br>
<br>6</span> Neither durst they array themselves in battle against the men of <span class="delete">Britain ;</span> No ! we will sweep <span class="delete">their stars</span> from the face of the waters , and their name shall be heard no
<span class="delete"><br>more</span> among nations.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>7</span> Shall the proud conquerors of Europe not laugh to scorn the feeble efforts of a few unorganized soldiers , undisciplined , and fresh from the plough , the hoe , and the mattock ?
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>8</span> Yea , they shall surely fall ; for they were not bred to fighting as were the servants of the king.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>9</span> Their large cities , their towns , and their villages will we burn with consuming fire.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>10</span> Their oil , and their wheat <span class="delete">,</span> and their rye , and their corn , and their barley , and their rice , and their buckwheat , and their oats , and their flax , and all the products of their country will we destroy , and scatter the remnants thereof to the four winds of heaven.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>11</span> All these things , and more , will we do unto this froward people.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>12</span> Neither shall there be found safety for age or sex from the destroying swords of the soldiers of the <span class="delete">king.
<br>
<br>13</span> Save in those provinces and towns where dwell the friends of the king <span class="delete">; for</span> lo ! said they , the king's friends are many.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>14</span> These will we spare ; neither will we hurt a hair of their heads : nor shall the savages of the wilderness stain the <span class="delete">scalping knife</span> or the tomahawk with the blood of the king's friends.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>15</span> Now it happened about this time that there were numbers of the inhabitants of the country of Columbia whose hearts yearned after the king of Britain.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>16 These men were called Tories , which signifieth , in the vernacular tongue , the blind followers of royalty.
<br>
<br>17</span> And with their false flattering words they led astray some of the <span class="delete">children</span> of Columbian Liberty ; for their tongues were smoother than oil.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>18</span> Evil machinations entered into their hearts , and the poison of their breath might be likened unto the deadly Bohon Upas , which rears its lofty branches in the barren valley of Java.*
<br>
<br>* Of the existence of this wonderful tree there have been doubts : but the reader is referred to the relation of P. N. <span class="delete">Foersch</span> , who has given a satisfactory account of it , from his own travels in its <span class="delete">neighborhood.
<br>
<br>19</span> And they strove to dishearten the true friends of the great Sanhedrim ; but they prevailed not.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>20</span> Moreover , Satan entered into the heart of one of the governors of the east , and he was led astray by the wickedness thereof , even Caleb <span class="delete">, the shittamite.*
<br>
<br>* Shittamite , in the hebrew , is applied to a dissenter :--perhaps it may be equally applicable here.
<br>
<br>21</span> Now Caleb , which in the Cherokee tongue , signifieth an ass , liked not the decree of the great Sanhedrim , inasmuch as he favored the king of Britain ; And , though willing to become a beast of burden , yet would not move on account of his very great stupidity.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>22</span> And he said unto the captains of the hosts of the state over which he presided , Lo ! it seemeth not meet unto me that ye go forth to battle against the king.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>23</span> For , Lo ! are not the fighting men of Britain <span class="delete">in multitude</span> as the sand on the sea shore ? and shall we prevail against them ?
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>24</span> Are not the mighty ships of the king spread over the whole face of the waters ? Is not Britain the " bulwark of our religion ?"
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>25</span> Therefore , I command that ye go not out to battle , but every man remain in his own house.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>26</span> And all the governors of the east listened unto the voice of <span class="delete">Caleb , the shittamite.
<br>
<br>27</span> Moreover , the angel of the Lord whispered <span class="delete">in</span> the ear of Caleb , and spake unto him , saying ,
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>28</span> If , peradventure , thou dost refuse to obey the laws of the land , the thing will not be pleasant in the sight of the Lord ;
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>29</span> Inasmuch as it may cause the people to rise up one against another , and spill the blood of their own <span class="delete">children.
<br>
<br>30</span> And the time of warfare will be lengthened out , and the blood of thousands will be upon thine head.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>31</span> And Satan spake , and said unto Caleb , Fear not ; for if thou wilt forsake thy country , and throw off the paltry subterfuge of Columbian Liberty , and defy the councils of the great Sanhedrim ,
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>32</span> Then shall thy name be proclaimed with the sound of the trumpet throughout all the earth ; and thou shalt be a prince and a ruler over this people.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>33</span> Now the smooth words of Satan tickled Caleb mightily , and he hearkened unto the counsel of the wicked one :
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>34</span> For the good counsel given unto him was as water thrown upon a rock.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>35</span> But when the chief governor and the great Sanhedrim of the people saw the wickedness of Caleb , their hearts were moved with pity <span class="delete">toward</span> him and his followers : yea , even those who had made a convention at the little town of Hartford.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>36</span> Neither doth the scribe desire to dwell upon the wickedness which came into the village of Hartford , the signification of the name whereof , in the vernacular tongue , appeareth not.
<br>
<span class="delete"><br>37</span> For the meddling therewith is as the green pool of unclean waters , when a man casteth a stone therein.

<br></span>
<br>And with their false flattering words they led astray some of the <span class="delstrike">children</span> <span class="insert">friends</span> of Columbian Liberty ; for their tongues were smoother than oil.

<br>
<br>And they strove to dishearten the true friends of the great Sanhedrim ; but they prevailed not.
<br>
<br>Moreover , Satan entered into the heart of one of the governors of the east , and he was led astray by the wickedness thereof , even Caleb <span class="delstrike">, the shittamite.*
<br>
<br>* Shittamite , in the hebrew , is applied to a dissenter :--perhaps it may be equally applicable here.</span> <span class="insert">the Strong.</span>
<br>
<br>Now Caleb , which in the Cherokee tongue , signifieth an ass , liked not the decree of the great Sanhedrim , inasmuch as he favored the king of Britain ; <span class="delstrike">and</span>
<span class="insert"><br>
<br>And</span> , though willing to become a beast of burden , yet would <span class="insert">he</span> not move on account of his very great stupidity.
<br>
<br>And he said unto the captains of the hosts of the state over which he presided , Lo ! it seemeth not meet unto me that ye go forth to battle against the king.
<br>
<br>For , Lo ! are not the fighting men of Britain <span class="delstrike">in multitude</span> <span class="insert">, in multitude ,</span> as the sand on the sea shore ? and shall we prevail against them ?
<br>
<br>Are not the mighty ships of the king spread over the whole face of the waters ? Is not Britain the " bulwark of our religion ?"
<br>
<br>Therefore , I command that ye go not out to battle , but every man remain in his own house.
<br>
<br>And all the governors of the east listened unto the voice of <span class="delstrike">Caleb , the shittamite.</span> <span class="insert">Caleb.</span>
<br>
<br>Moreover , the angel of the Lord whispered <span class="delstrike">in</span> <span class="insert">into</span> the ear of Caleb , and spake unto him , saying ,
<br>
<br>If , peradventure , thou dost refuse to obey the laws of the land , the thing will not be pleasant in the sight of the Lord ;
<br>
<br>Inasmuch as it may cause the people to rise up one against another , and spill the blood of their own <span class="delstrike">children.</span> <span class="insert">children ;</span>
<br>
<br>And the time of warfare will be lengthened out , and the blood of thousands will be upon thine head.
<br>
<br>And Satan spake , and said unto Caleb , Fear not ; for if thou wilt forsake thy country , and throw off the paltry subterfuge of Columbian Liberty , and defy the councils of the great Sanhedrim ,
<br>
<br>Then shall thy name be proclaimed with the sound of the trumpet throughout all the earth ; and thou shalt be a prince and a ruler over this people.
<br>
<br>Now the smooth words of Satan tickled Caleb mightily , and he hearkened unto the counsel of the wicked one :
<br>
<br>For the good counsel given unto him was as water thrown upon a rock.
<br>
<br>But when the chief governor and the great Sanhedrim of the people saw the wickedness of Caleb , their hearts were moved with pity <span class="delstrike">toward</span> <span class="insert">towards</span> him and his followers : yea , even those who had made a convention at the little town of Hartford.

<br>Reception of the Declaration of War in Great Britain--her friends in America--Caleb Strong--Hartford Convention.
<br>
<br>AND it came to pass , that when the princes and the lords and the counsellors of Britain saw the Decree , their wrath was kindled , and their hearts were ready to burst with indignation.
<br>
<br>2 For , verily , said they , this insult hath overflowed the cup of our patience ; and now will we chastise the impudence of these Yankees , and the people of Columbia shall bow before the king.
<br>
<br>3 Then will we rule them with a rod of iron ; and they shall be , unto us , hewers of wood and drawers of water.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>4</span> For , verily , shall we suffer these cunning Yankees to beard the mighty lion , with half a dozen fir-built frigates , the men whereof are but mercenary cowards <span class="insert">"bastards and outlaws ?"
<br>
<br>5</span> Neither durst they array themselves in battle against the men of <span class="insert">Britain.</span> No ! we will sweep <span class="insert">them</span> from the face of the waters , and their name shall be heard no <span class="insert">more</span> among nations.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>6</span> Shall the proud conquerors of Europe not laugh to scorn the feeble efforts of a few unorganized soldiers , undisciplined , and fresh from the plough , the hoe , and the mattock ?
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>7</span> Yea , they shall surely fall ; for they were not bred to fighting as were the servants of the king.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>8</span> Their large cities , their towns , and their villages will we burn with consuming fire.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>9</span> Their oil , and their wheat and their rye , and their corn , and their barley , and their rice , and their buckwheat , and their oats , and their flax , and all the products of their country will we destroy , and scatter the remnants thereof to the four winds of heaven.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>10</span> All these things , and more , will we do unto this froward people.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>11</span> Neither shall there be found safety for age or sex from the destroying swords of the soldiers of the <span class="insert">king ;
<br>
<br>12</span> Save in those provinces and towns where dwell the friends of the king <span class="insert">, for ,</span> lo ! said they , the king's friends are many.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>13</span> These will we spare ; neither will we hurt a hair of their heads : nor shall the savages of the wilderness stain the <span class="insert">scalping-knife</span> or the tomahawk with the blood of the king's friends.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>14</span> Now it happened <span class="insert">,</span> about this time <span class="insert">,</span> that there were numbers of the inhabitants of the country of Columbia whose hearts yearned after the king of Britain.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>15</span> And with their false flattering words they led astray some of the <span class="insert">friends</span> of Columbian Liberty ; for their tongues were smoother than oil.
<br>
<span class="insert"><br>16</span> Evil machinations entered into their hearts , and the poison of their breath might be likened unto the deadly Bohon Upas , which rears its lofty branches in the barren valley of Java.*

<br>LET the children of Columbia beware of false prophets <span class="delete">,</span> which come in sheep's clothing ; for it is written , Ye shall know them by their fruits.
<br>
<br>2 Now it came to pass , that a certain man , whose sir-name was Henry , came before James , the chief governor , and opened his mouth , and spake unto him , saying ,
<br>
<br>3 Lo ! If thou wilt give unto me two score and ten thousand pieces of silver , then will I unfold unto thee the witchcraft of Britain , that thereby thy nation may not be caught in her snares.
<br>
<br>4 And James said unto him , Verily , for the good of my country <span class="delete">,</span> I will do this thing.

<br>5 And immediately the man Henry opened his mouth , a second time , and said ,
<br>
<br>6 Lo ! the lords and <span class="delete">the</span> counsellors of Britain have made a covenant with me , and have promised me many pieces of gold if I would make a league with the provinces of the east <span class="delete">,</span> that they might <span class="delete">favor</span> the king ; and long and faithfully have I <span class="delete">labored</span> in their cause.
<br>
<br>7 But they deceived me , even as they would deceive the people of Columbia ; for their promises are as the idle wind that passeth by , which no man regardeth.
<br>
<br>8 And <span class="delete">,</span> when he had gotten the silver into his own hands <span class="delete">,</span> he departed to the land of the Gauls , where he remaineth even until this day.

<br>
<br>10 He that longeth after the interpretation of the deeds of Henry , let him <span class="delete">go and</span> make inquiry of those who acted with <span class="delete">him , the</span> ministers of the Hartford Convention.
<br>
<br>11 Now , there was a certain hypocrite whose name was Elijah , and he was a false prophet in the east , and led astray those of little understanding <span class="delete">:</span> moreover , he was an hireling , and preached for the sake of filthy lucre.
<br>
<br>12 And he rose up and called himself a preacher of the gospel , and his words were smooth , and the people marvelled at him ;
<br>
<br>13 But he profaned the temple of the Lord , and he strove to lead his disciples into the wrong way.
<br>
<br>14 And many wise men turned their backs against him ; nevertheless he repented not of his sins unto this day.
<br>
<br>15 Neither did the people , as Darius the Mede did unto the prophet Daniel , cast him into the den of lions , that they might see whether the royal <span class="delete">beasts</span> would disdain to devour him.

<br>2 Neither were they assembled together ; but they were extended from the north to the south , about three thousand miles.*
<br>
<br>* From District of Maine to Mobile Bay and New-Orleans.
<br>
<br>3 But the husbandmen , who lived under their own <span class="insert">fig-trees</span> , and lifted the arm in defence of their own homes , were more than seven hundred thousand , all mighty men of valor.
<br>
<br>4 Now the armies of the king of Britain , are they not numbered and written in the book of Hume , the scribe ? is not their name a terror to all nations ?
<br>
<br>5 Moreover , the number of the strong ships of the peaceable inhabitants of Columbia , that moved on the waters of the deep , carrying therein the destroying engines , which vomited their thunders , was about one score <span class="insert">:besides</span> a handful of <span class="insert">" cock-boats</span> ;" with " a bit of striped bunting at their <span class="insert">mast-head.''</span>
<br>
<br>6 But the number of the fighting vessels of Britain was about one thousand one score and one , which bore the royal cross.
<br>
<br>7 And the men of war of Britain were arrayed in their might against the people of the land of Columbia.
<br>
<br>8 Nevertheless , it came to pass , that about this time a strong ship of the United States , called the President , commanded by a skillful man whose name was <span class="insert">Rodgers ,</span>
<br>
<br>9 Sailed towards the island of Britain , and went nigh unto it , and <span class="insert">captured</span> numbers of the vessels of the people of Britain , in their own waters ; after which she returned in safety to the land of Columbia.
<br>
<br>10 And the people gave much praise to <span class="insert">Rodgers</span> , for it was a cunning thing ; inasmuch as he saved many ships that were richly laden , so that they fell not into the hands of the people of Britain.
<br>
<br>11 Moreover , it happened about the fifteenth day of the seventh month , in the same year in which the decree of the great Sanhedrim was issued , that a certain vessel of the states of Columbia was environed round about by a multitude of the ships of the <span class="insert">king.</span>
<br>
<br>12 And the captain thereof was straitened , and he looked around him and strove to escape :
<br>
<br>13 But he was entrapped and fell a prey to the vessels of the king ; howbeit , the captain , whose name was Crane , tarnished not his honor thereby.
<br>
<br>14 And the name of the vessel of the United States was called Nautilus.
<br>
<br>15 Now , about this time , there was a law sent forth from the great Sanhedrim , commanding all servants and subjects of the king of Britain forthwith to depart beyond the swellings of the waters of the great deep ; even two score miles.
<br>
<br>16 And they did so ; and their friends from whom they were compelled to flee , mourned for them many days.

<span class="delete"><br>Hull's</span> expedition--he enters Canada , and encamps at Sandwich--issues his Proclamation--retreats to Detroit.
<br>
<br>NOW it was known throughout the land of Columbia that war was declared against the kingdom of Britain.
<br>
<br>2 And to a certain chief captain called William , whose <span class="delete">sur-name</span> was Hull , was given in trust a band of more than two thousand chosen men , to go forth to battle in the <span class="delete">north.*
<br>
<br>* Canada.</span>
<br>
<br>3 Now Hull was a man well stricken in years , and he had been a captain in the host of Columbia , in the days that tried men's souls ; even in the days of Washington.
<br>
<br>4 Therefore , when he appeared in the presence of the great Sanhedrim <span class="delete">,*</span> they were pleased with his countenance , and put much faith in <span class="delete">him.</span>
<br>
<br>* Gen. Hull had been to Washington and obtained an appointment previous to the war.
<br>
<br>5 Moreover , he was a governor in the north ,* and a man of great wealth.

<br>
<br>6 And <span class="delete">, now</span> when he arrived with his army hard by the Miami of the Lakes , he gat him a vessel and placed therein those things which were appertaining unto the preservation of the lives of the sick and the maimed.
<br>
<br>7 But , in an evil hour , the vessel was ensnared , near unto a strong hold ,* beside a river <span class="delete">,</span> called in the language of the Gauls , Detroit.
<br>
<br>* <span class="delete">Malden.</span>
<br>
<br>8 And the army of <span class="delete">the provinces of</span> Columbia suffered much thereby.
<br>
<br>9 Nevertheless , on the twelfth of the seventh month <span class="delete">,</span> about the fourth watch of the night , William with his whole host crossed the river which is called Detroit.
<br>
<br>10 And he encamped his men round about the town of Sandwich in the province of the king.
<br>
<br>11 From this place , he sent forth a proclamation , which the great Sanhedrim had prepared for him ; and the wisdom thereof appeareth even unto this day.
<br>
<br>12 But if a man's ass falleth into a ditch , shall the master suffer thereby ? if injury can be prevented , shall we not rather with our might <span class="delete">endeavor</span> to help him ?
<br>
<br>13 Now in the proclamation which Hull published abroad , he invited the people of the province of Canada to join themselves to the host of Columbia , who were come to drive the servants of the king from their borders.
<br>
<br>14 And it came to pass , that a great multitude flocked to the banners of the great Sanhedrim.
<br>
<br>15 Nevertheless , they knew not that they were to be entrapt.
<br>
<br>16 However it was so , that William departed from the province of the king , and <span class="delete">again passed</span> the river.
<br>
<br>17 And when the husbandmen of the province of Canada , who had joined the standard of Columbia , learned those things , they wept bitterly ; for they were left behind.
<br>
<br>18 After this William secured himself in the strong hold of Detroit ; and the eyes of the men and the women of Columbia were fixed upon him.
<br>
<br>19 And the expectation thereof may be likened unto a man who hath watered well his vineyard.
