difference of opinion between the American pleni-
potentiaries at Client upon measures in which they
ali finally concurred, would never have been made
known to the public by me. Satisfied with an equal
share of responsibility, for ali which they had done
contened and grateful for the satisfaction OF our com
mon country with the general result OF our services
had no private interest feelings to indulge, at the
expense of Others and my earnest desire would have
BEEN to have seen in every member OF that mission
for the rest OF my days no other than friend and
brother. Disappointed in this wish, my next hope
u.s. that even the diseords of Client may be turned to
the promotion of future harmony in the Union -
From the nature OF federative constitution, II is
probable that hereafter heretofore, the most i'm
portant negotiations with foreign powers will be COM
mitted TO Joint missions of several members. To
every such mission and to all its members the Chen:
negotiation will afford instructive lessons as well by
its union as by its divisions. The conduct of Mr..
Russell will afford anegative instruction OF deep i'm
port 1t will teach them 10 beware of leagung in
vidious and imaginary sectional or party feelings
with the purposes of the enemy, against our rights
of assuming the argument of the enemy against
ourseves--of procaimlng, without necessity, differ
ences OF opinion upon rejected propostons-of Sc
Sret denunciaons in the shape of standardization
ofcrude and shallow dissertations against essential
interests and Just claims, and Of interpolatng public
papers 10 adapt them to the purposes Of moment
Ii will teach them to have higher sense of the
rights and liberties of this nation, than to believe
them to be held at the will of British King; and it
will warn them to turn their talents to better uses
than that Of sacrificing the essential interests of their
country. These are public concerns of great mo-
ment, and Just understanding of them in every part
ofthe Union is indissoluby connected with Just
estimate OF the conduct of the majority ofthe Client
Mission, held forth public censure by one of their
colleagues For view OF the whole ground it will
be indispensable to compare the documents Of the
negotiation with the references OF both parties to
them in the discussion, and to that end it will be ne
cessary that they should all be included in pub
LEGATION. ! ask of the candor Of my country men to
be assured that this publication will be addressed to
no temporary purposes, to no party feeling, to no
sectional passions, but to the whole nation and
posterity, upon objects which, although duplicating
immediately only the conduct OF the negotators at
Ghent are of deep and permanent interests to them.

august sth, 1892.
We had the satisfaction the past week of visiting
The West Point Foundry and Boring Mill, which
must be ranked among the most important OF
American manufacturing establishments Previous
TO the erection Of the different Foundres in this
country, particularly the extensive establishments
in this city, of Messrs. Mcqueen, Allaire, and
others and the one at West Point, we were obliged
TO resort to foreign countries for much of the
machinery for Factories. Mills and various other
purposes, which is now cast at these Foundries IN
superior style. The West Point Foundry has been
about four years in operation, and usually employs
about 60 hands in casting. boring making patterns,
&c. and from 60 to 80 in this city in finishing the
work. Here cast the largest and best guns for
the navy and notifications, and most kinds OF machi
merry for factories, mills, steamboats,, &c. There
are beds for casting guns, and one for moriars or
cylinders, of the largest size. We witnessed the
operation Of boring the solid casting OF 40 pound
guns by machinery carried by water with such
regularity that the calibre of the gun must be per-
fectly true. We also saw in motion in the Boring
Mill where it was receiving the finish, probably the
largest casting ever made in this country, being a
roller or cylinder, weighing upwards of seven tons,
destined for Dupont's Powder Mill on the Brandy
wine; and we were invited by Mr.. Kemble, the
intelligent agent and one of the proprietors who
politely accompanied us through the establishments
to proIong our stay a few hours to witness the
process OF casting cylinder OF Al inches diameter
intended for new steam boat in S. Carolina; but
time would not admit OF this, or the acceptance
Of another polite invitation. The buildings compri-
sing this establishment are three moulding houses
the first 80 by "A feet-the second, "a BY a.
third, SO by S0-the boring mill rs by So feet the
wheel house, embracing also the shop where the
various patterns are constructed, rs by 20 feet al
building now erecting for depositing patterns, 90 by
so feet-also store, several dwelling houses, and
other buildings The water wheel is Sc feet dame
aer, constructed with buckets which receive the
water at the top of the wheel, and so perfectly tight
ehat the spectator in observing the wheel would not
at first view discover the power whence it derived
lis rotary motion.
The Foundry is pleasantly situated on the east
side of the river, opposite the Military Academy;
and we need not add is in prosperous condition.
