New England''s bitter and factious opposition, driven to the very verge of disunion, and the fertile soil where sprung up the theories upon which the successive advocates of secession have based their claims, probably prevented the war from being a great triumph, and has certainly obscured its necessity and its daring boldness.

New admiralty rules, invented to render neutral (i.e., American) commerce impossible; decrees in council which recolonized us; and the right of search, exercised at the will of insolent sea-captains against even fishing-smacks and coasting-vessels and an American vessel of war, constitute a chapter of history which may well make o...
