Seamen

.—Judge Foster justifies the impressing of seamen, by the following argument: that “all orders of men ought to contribute to the support of the state; that these men have been used to a sea-faring life, that consequently they can be of more service than raw, inexperienced land-lubbers, therefore that they ought to be made to go, if they will not go voluntarily.”—No matter how they are situated in their domestic concerns! How long will this iniquity last?
