1 affirm the justice of the war from its com- mencement. Our neutral trade was violently op- posed, and almost totally destroyed ; our property was captured ; our fellow-citizens were enslaved, while peaceably pursuing their proper employment; and negotiation failed, after the exertion of years, to procure redress for the past, or immunity for the future. To recover and preserve property — To re- deem and to defend men, these are lawful causes of war. These are the causes of the present war. Th...e argument requires neither art nor eloquence. It is obvious to every capacity. It is irresistible. It may be evaded, but it cannot be refuted. If it fail in extorting confession, it cannot fail in producing con- viction. American property has been seized and destroy- ed : American citizens have been impressed and en- slaved. These are the facts. War in defence of property, of liberty, and of life, is lawful. This is the principle. Apply the principle to the facts. The United States have declared war, in order to vindicate the rights of property, of liberty, and of life.
