To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There can be no doubt he knew that they were carrying important despatches, and were endowed with instruc- tions inimical to the United States." That Captain Wilkes acted without any orders to make the capture is undoubted ; that he acted in good faith, and in the exercise of what he deemed a duty to his government, is equally clear. The capture was not for the purpose of impressment into the navy of the United States, under any claim of a right to the services of the captured party, and theref...ore was not like the impressments heretofore made by the British government from the vessels of the United States. It was not a capture of rebels who after defeat were seeking an asylum in a foreign land, and therefore is utterly different from some other cases which have been cited against it. It was not a capture of fugitives from justice ; for the crimes of Mason and Slidell were those which of late years have been held not to come within the policy of extradition. All arguments founded upon such cases are out of place.
