Those who feel the true principles of an American patriot, will at this moment discover their attachment to the honor and interest of their country, by promoting measures calculated to protect our commerce against the marauders of all nations—and tho' the United States cannot perhaps, immediately place themselves in a situation, to contend with the maritime strength of all nations, yet they can do much to protect their commerce, and perhaps completely rid the Atlantic of those pirates of the Barbary States, who are dragging our fellow-citizens into the most infernal slavery.
