From the Boston Messenger.

Tn the year 1909. congress passed
laH, imposing restrictions upon our
commercial intercourse with both
Great Britain and France. At that
time, our merchants had 80 or so nil
lions of property in France, protect
ed not only by the laws Of hospita-
Iity, which govern all civilized ma
tons in time of peace, but by The
positive st:puiations Of a solemn
treaty. In consequence ofthe above
mentioned act Of congress. which as
MIR. Monroe says. s. was impartial
as related to the belliserents," Ger
tainlv was not partial in favor of
England, Bonapalte, by his Ram
bouillet decree, :" made sweep OF
all American property within the
reach of French power" involving
in indiscriminate ruin. innocent mer-
chants who had entered the ports OF
France in the fair course Of trade.
Not one particle Of this property mas
been restored. In the meantime Cur
merchants had an equal or greater
amount Of property in Great britain
in the hands Of the people. with
whom our commercial treaty had
expired. and with whom our govern
ment had been for several years in
continual and angry collision. Our
law, which gave so much offence to
France. lift could be construed into
an insult, was at least equally Insult

ment removed the offensive law. as
il operated against France. and con,
tinued it against Great Britain. Yet
our prop, rty in France remained
under confis2ation but our property
in G. Britain still remained scte.
We declared war against Great
Britain: and because formerly, while
we were at peace with her, the lead
ing men in our present administra-
ton proposed to confiscate all her
property in this country. many men
feared that she in time Of 7cGr.
would adopt that measure against
Us. Yet American property still
remained sye.-Ihis property liz G.

At last an event happened, which, in
the opinion Of the agents for this
property abroad. would enti;le it to
legal return into the hands Of its
owners. But on the same day. our
declaration Of war abandoned it to
legal capture by any British cruizer
which might fall in with it on the o.
cean. To remove the apprehension
of capture, the British government
granted to all American vessels,

The convention being organized,
