WASHINGTON, March 10.
1t has become our duty to lay before our
readers, to-dav, an important communicate
on from the Executive to Congress, trans
hitting to them series of documents, which
Iincontestibly prove, that in the wear 1909.
at period when parry ran high III these
states, and inConsiderate men threatened
opposition to the laws, GREAT BRITAIN,
awaiting herself of our internal dissentions,
did commission at least one agent to foment
the existing divisions, to accertain the pos
sibilisy of producing a SEPARATION OF THE
UNION, C to engage to afford, to such party
as might be disposed to accept her assis-
lance, such aid from British force as should
be heemcd necessary.
This whole affaiy rs one on which COM.
rtient would be superfuous. 1t speaks in a
voice of thunder, which the very deaf shall
heat. Instead Of applying it as. stimulus
to party fever, lett become bond of uni
on against common foe, who. whilst she
was making lavish professions OF friendship
through our minister in England and her
minister in this city, was perfidiously STIR
ring up rebellion and comprising disunion
in this land, by secret agencies; at the mo-
| ment she was pretending to hold out one
hand in fellowship, with the other she was
feeling for the vitals of the Republic to
which she might in the dead of night direct
her poisoned dagger.
! Whilst, however, the sentiment OF conci.
liation is duly cherished, it is impossible to
avoid recurrence ofthe mind to the scenes
of the winter Of 1S0S-9, or to forget the Ian
guage used at that tire by certain prints
From the sentiments f opposition to the laws
and of disunion, which were then inculca-
ted with a zeal wo.thy of a better cause,
we always have freely exonerated the mass
of the federal parry; but the implication OF
some OF its leaders is another question, which
we do not now undertake to solve. The
publication of Ccnning's letters in the prints
of that day is not forgotten; nor can there be
much doubt from what source they proceed
ted.

the public will not fail properly to appreci-
