Excerpt from Address on the Life, Character, and Services of Com; Jacob Jones: Delivered in Wilmington Tuesday, December 17, 1850
At that period many patriotic bosoms burned with de sire to avengethe wrongs of our country; and Truxton shed new and unfading lustre on the glory of the American name. Can we fail at this day to pay the just tribute of our gratitude to the memory of the brave, who, while the nation was yet in its infancy, sprang forward to defend it against one of the most powerful nations of Europe. Our Navy, upon which we now depend as the right arm of the nation's defense, then consisted of but five frigates, nineteen sloops of war, and a few ships of an inferior class; and a contest with the well-equipped frigates and heavy ships of the line of the aggressor, seemed to promise little besides disaster and defeat.
