October, IFS moderation was returned, and
iuch change having taken place in the f.natc
as to make two thirds of its members republican.
II was ratified.
Thus, then, have we Demonstrated that the
lreident and the republican part os the Senate
have done all in their power 10 iecure the ratih-
cation ofthe convention, and Ina. every atom of
blame among ou:ieives ariing from delay is az
clibable 20 the oppottion.
There remains one view 10 be taken, which
rs, perhaps, in the prefent fate of affairs be-
tween the two nations, more irterefting than
any which merely regards a diviiion ano ng our
ielves.
One OF the grounds on which Spain is repre-
Tented TO refuie the ratification of the Convent
on, is the delay on our part. To this, it may be
confidently replied that the Convention pro-
vdes for claims againit Spain whole iuitice can
not be le:iened by time, and that at this very mo-
ment, even without the exiitence of fuch a con-
ventiou, her good faith as ftrongly requires 7
prov'hon for them as with it. 1t alto being con-
fined TO Jingle object affords little,i if anyground
fora change Of opinion arihng FROM change of
circumstances. 1t would, therefore, appear to
be the duty of the Spanifh government, notwith-
ftanding the delay which has occurred, TO ratify
the Convention, or to offer an equivalent provi-
iion. But there fill tronger reafonS for this.
Whatever of impolicy there may have been in
inc SOuNSHtlOn Ill the lemon
of 1908, and, however, we may find juG
caufe 10 centure thoie who voted for its reietti-
on, there can be no doubt that the unauthorized
aggreiiion at New-Orieans by high officers of
Spain would have fulfilled the United States in
refuing an attention to any pending arrange
ments between the two nations until this point
was fettled. This was then an obtacle to the
carrying of thofe arrangements into effect, RATED
| on the part of Spain, which we had a right to
avail ourielves of, whether it was authorized by
her government, or her subordinate officers, for
whole conduct ihe is refpon6ble. Shall it then
be contended that delay on our part, occaii-
oned altogether by her, fhall be made ute of to
Ijufify refuial to do us juticc? No. The
merits of the queftion hang not 70 much on the
delay, as on the caufe of it which can only be
afcribed to her. We hope, however, that events
will ffow thai the Spaniih government has been
illuminated, and that her meafures towards us
will, on mature reflection, be fuch as honor, juf-
tice and friendfhp dictates.
1t may be proper, before we cloie thefe re-
marks, to obferve that an cgregrious error has
been committed in representing the Convention
to contain provifon that it fhould not be bind
ing on either nation unlefs ratified within twelve
months. 1t contains no fuch provifon. 1t on
ly provides that it ihall be ratified as Jaou as
peJFjle.
