tons Of that srigiiai letter, AMI II Ia default Of
that original letter, adnplicaie was to be fur
nshed for the purpose or calculating those dif
hculties, every dictate of honour and integrity
would require that ii should be a true and
faithful transcript. Mr.. Russell will have
need to cudgel his wits 10 more purpose than
he has yet done, before his new-fangled doc
trines on this subject are received into the
moral code of an enlightened people, and be-
fore he can hope to attain, in the estimation Of
his fellow-citizens. the status ante bcilunl, in
the issue of the impending hostilities.
We would here indulge a few remarks on
the political merits of Mr.. Russell and his
compatriot of the minority, ss delineated in
this controversy. The several rights concern
ing the Communication OF which this boastful
minority arose, were granted and held by the
contracting parties under the treaty Of 1893
consequent to the war of independence. Since
that period, circumstances have materially
changed the comparative value of those priyi-
leges, inasmuch as the right to navigate the
Mississippi, under the conditions and restric-
lions with which it was fettered, could be of
no imaginable utility to Great-Britain at this
period whereas the s fishing liberty is
known TO he Of great advantage TO several Of
the Eastern States, who employ large amount
of capital, AMI many industrious and hardy cit
liens in the fisheries, valuable part of which
would have been interdicted to them by re-
linquishment of that privilege. And another
consideration of peculiar endearment is, that
the fisheries, being open to competition, invite
our seamen TO adventurous pursuits, where
they are recompensed by the ingatherings Of
these ocean harvests, while they imbibe that
nautical skill and enterprise which constitute
their just pre-eminence in naval tacticks.-
These fisheries, which Mr.. Russell so affects
10 confemn, are emphatically styled the cradle
of our glorious navy. Admitting, then, that
Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Clay are entitled TO the
full benefit of having been in the. minority on
that question, we cannot conceive any marvel
lous credit TO be due TO them on this account.
We can perceive neither profundity of wisdom,
wonderful sagacity, nor singular patriotism, in
difference of opinion wherein they evidently
held the Drong side, and very courteously
yielded and acquiesced in the wiser policy OF
their more experienced colleagues. In my
apprehension, the only meritorious part oftheir
opposition was its instability. PU5LlUS.
