Can this decision, then, be said to be based on any principle of law, upon the evidence placed before this court, or upon any reason or common sense ? I am confident it cannot, ARGUMENT OF SAM C. REID, JR. , ESQ. 57 and there is not a court on the face of the earth that would decide that this award is just. It is conclusive, therefore, that the cor- respondence of " 1814" never was before the arbiter. For therein it is seen that, instead of all the boata being unarmed, and no attempt being made... to repel force by force, the fire was simul- taneous on the part of both, and that the first-lieutenant of the American brig was wounded, and one man killed. Then, when they found the evidence to be imperfect, why did they not act like just men, and call for further testimony ? Because, sirs, justice was not to be expected of a man who had become a perjured President, by violating his oath and trampling on the constitution of his country ! What Guniker writes to Ligurinus may well be applied here : " When falsehood bare and undisguis'd appears, It never can deceive ; but when it wears The garb of truth, it cheats the heedless ears 1" It became the duty, then, of this government, under the protest of the claimants, to set aside this award, if it did not wish to incur responsibility to the claimants ; but, having confirmed the award, she confirmed her responsibility, and there is no escape from this conclusion.
