the Haytien Republic was not knowingly

violating the blockade when she was seized,

and that is what the surrender under protest

means. It certainly must be proved before

of a power like the United States, the blacks

are at a disadvantage on sea, as well as hope

a rage against our country as an apparently

lunatic correspondent set forth the other

day, but there is undoubtedly a sense of

bullet against a small republic? This is

what we submit to the judgment of history

and ihe American and European press, and

to this we sign our name.
