Sinopsis
Excerpt from A View of the Rights and Wrongs, Power and Policy, of the United States of America
Coffee, sugar, tea, tobacco, cotton, rice, peltries, and even ginseng and flaxseed, with a prolific et caetera of mi nor articles, have become as necessary to the comfort of mankind as flour, Wine, and oil to their subsistence. With the former, the world has but a late acquaintance and, constituting, as they do, so material a portion of food, and so delightful a part of raiment, it cannot be surprising that commerce should amplify in proportion to their de mand and usefulness, or that every region should be ex plored to procure them. With 1200 miles of sea coast on the east, and a chain 'of corresponding lakes and navigable waters on the west, wanting almost-cverythiiig Eumpe can afford, and with the ability to supply almost every thing Europe can desire, it would seem as if nature had designated the United States for a great commercial em pire. The prodigious and unexampled progress this country has made in prosperity, population, and power, since the adoption of the federal constitution, though not, perhaps, so great as it would have been had it not been for the British treaty and its effects, are to be ascribed not more to the excellence of that constitution, than to theextension of our trade, favoured and forced as it has been by the remoteness of our situation from the devastating commotions of Europe, and to the pacific neutrality so wisely adopted and honestly pursued by the American government. With such natural advantages as we enjoy, a free trade is a greater blessing than the lenity of our laws, high price of labour, and cheapness of living. Liv ing is cheaper, and the climate preferable, in many of the provinces of South America; but, having no trade to stimulate reproduction, to enliven, enlighten, and enrich them, the inhabitants, we learn, if our limited means of information are correct, remain to this day uninformed and poor, in the midst of a profusion of the precious metals, and an exuberance of nature.

Excerpt from A View of the Rights and Wrongs, Power and Policy, of the United States of America
The endurance of the United States of America, under belligerent wrongs, has been so protracted and uncomplaining, that the assertion of American neutral rights will probably be accounted, in Europe, if not here, a novel and bold measure. We have submitted, during so long a period, to the privations of war, as if we were a party to it, always without solemn opposition, and mostly without remonstrance, that even the citizens of this country are become but too insensible to their natural immunities, and the great belligerents have ceased to profess any regard for them. But the conjuncture having at last arrived, when the assertion of our rights is forced from us by the dilemma into which we are driven, it behoves us, in order to a manly repulsion of our wrongs, to understand and appreciate the privileges that accrued with the acknowledgment of our independence, and to proclaim to the world our resolution and our ability to maintain them hereafter inviolate. One aggression has led to another, till the devouring depredations of the first-rate maritime powers of Europe have swallowed up the natural and indefeasible relations of neutrality.
