Thus the honor of the Stars and Stripes was vindicated, and the flag was made a great convenience to slavers. The administration, however, bestirred itself toward doing its own share in the work of sea-police, and several slave ships were captured. The crew of one of these were acquitted, by a Charleston jury, against the clearest evidence.
France will hold no less firm a tone; whatever may be the dissent as to the right of search, the right of slave ships, be sure, will be admitted by none; a sea-police will soon be found to put an end to them; if need be, the punishment will be inflicted on their crews that is in store for a much less crime, that of piracy; these wretches will be hung with short shrift at the yard-arm, without form or figure of law.
It was natural that with the increase of German commerce Germany should wish to increase her fleet from a sea-police point of view but that they had neither the wish, nor, having regard to the strain their great army put on their resources, the power to build against Great Britain.
