7437. RETALIATION, On prisoners of war.—
This question [contest with Great
Britain] will not be decided by wreaking vengeance

success in the fields of war, and gathering there
those laurels which grow for the warrior brave.
In this light we view the object between us, in
this line we have hitherto conducted ourselves
for its attainment. [428]
