Americans

Nam qui Barbaros bello persequuntur ut Americanos Hispani, duo solent praetexere, quod ab illis commercio arceantur, aut quod doctrinam verae religionis illi nolent agnoscere.

Et in hanc formam audimus saepe a Senatu in Hispania, et Theologis praecipue Dominicanis decretum fuisse, sola verbi praedicatione non bello Americanos ad fidem traducendos;

Et scimus bella quaedam ex hac causa coepisse, ut Megarensibus in Athenienses, Bononiensibus in Venetos, Castellanis etiam in Americanos has iustas potuisse belli causas esse, et ceteris probabiliores Victoria putat, si peregrinari et degere apud illos prohiberentur, si arcerentur a participatione earum rerum quae iure gentium aut moribus communia sunt, si denique ad commercia non admitterentur.

Among the Americans in the United States the people of every state have a by-name of their own, after this fashion:

Name of the state — by-name of its people Illinois — Luchers Missouri — Pibers Oragon — Webfoot Ohio — Buckeye Indiana — Hoosiers New England — States Yankees Albama — Yellow Limnor Wisconsin — Badger

It is said that Chinese competition lowers the value of the American labourer in the market.

Let Americans either break up their iron rivals, or leave John Chinaman to carve out his normal vocation in hope and peace.
