RESULT OF THE WAR.

Local passions nd partial interests will
prevent many from perceiving the true re.
suit of the war. Those who considered the
war as the means. by which the party in
power were to be overthrown. and Of ascent
to their places, will be apt to be dissatis6.
ed with the peace.
Those who ifcfted By the continuance
ct the war, either in places, contracts. or
any other means Of gra'ification or agyran
dizement may not probably perceive the
peace exactly in the fairest point Of view.
Others agar, who will Consider peace as
necessary to their individual interests or
views, will go into the opposite extreme.
II isthrongh the medium of the influence
otthe war on the political concerns Of the
nations with each other, that we can view
the peace with the greatess certainty Of du
" estimating the true value and the result
Of the war.
Ever since the treaty Of 1894, the United
states have stood degraded IN the eyes OF
the European nations in that treaty not
oUly our own rights az an independent ma
ton were betrayed, but wider latitude was
given 70 the usurping spirit ofrestraiut on
the freedom OF commerce and the seas.--
We suffered an enlargement of the princi-
pie ef cOntraband, and basely conniVed at
the capture Of our own cargocs, upcn the
base condition Of payment for the cargoes
by the captors All the outrages from
that period to 1906, were the fruit Of this
abandonment Of national honor and indie
pendence.
The repeal Of the embargo by tho tenth
congress, gayc a. eavy blow to the char.
acter Of the natio' for wisdom and firmness
as tue lAitis!stscGy had given to national
morality and honor aud Mr.. Quincy's IL
Del IN congress WIS only the echo Of opini-
ons repeatedly uttered by the British agents
IN all our cities for several years before :
Mr. Quincy had only the merit Of giving she
sentiment legislative currency.

nations, II met by corresponding dispositions,

no subject that can enter with greater force
and merit into the deliberation of Congress,
than consideration Of the means TO preserve

sprung into existence, and attained an unpa-
