This was objected to by Lord Aberdeen. Mr. Nc
Lane had no right to change it. But, in spirit Of
unexamPed subserviency he agreed that the act of
congress should be construed, spite of its plain
language in perfect scorn of its manifest i-lport
AS to deny to American vessels the right to carry
foreign goods, mixed cargoes, and yet allow that
privilege to British vessels.
This was distinct surrender of the PRINCIPLE
which had been steadily maintained since 1889, up
to that moment.
1t was the most audacious instance of snullifca-
hon,' ever yet attempted
MIR. McLanc was Of the effect ofths base
concession, and mado himsy effort to excuse it.
The difference he says in writing to Mr.. Van
Buren,, cannot be an object of much Importance.
1t will generally he our interest, it is that of
every other nation, to allow the expectation of its
surplus Foreign produce in the vessels of any other
country"
Miserable sophistry :. There is not n merchants
clerk, of six months standing in the compiling
house that does know the Importance of u
greater assortment of goods to sdping vov
age. Tho variety of foreign (debonture) goods
sent from the United States to the West Indies is
almost infinite. Wines. brandy dried fruits, hard
ware crockery, and fancy goods are but few of
the items.
Cuoa alone, with population not equal to the
BRITISH West India Islands, take from two and
half to three millions worth of such goods, annu.
ally from our ports. And Mr.. McI,,ne has tho
WEAKNESS To say, that it is interest to prohibit
our vessels from carrying these supplies while we
permit British vessels to do SO,
Never was an American minister so egregousy
outwitted, and fooled by the ingenuity Of foreign
diplomacy, or his own yearnings for popularity.
But what had he to do with the importance of the
difference? Congress had fixed the terms, and had
gone tar towards Cancellation (NIr. McLane said)
an those provisions.
He knew perfectly well it question of rR1N-
cIPLE between tho tw nations, and had been SO ev
or since 1889. He knew also, that the principle
was of immense Importance He had himself de-
clared 1t was of an Importance infinitely greater
than any value which the trade affected by these
regulations, may be supposed to possess
Yet it was this very principle that he took upon
himself SO shamefully to surrender
But, he suggests to Mr.. Van Buren,, there is no
thing in the arrangement now proposed to prevent
the United States from hereafter denying to British
vessels this advantage, &c.
That is to says the principle long maintained,
is now to be yielded for the Qualification of Mr..
Louis McLane, and then the United States may
commit disgraceful breach of national faith-may
disregard their honor, he has disregarded the
law of his country, and revoke an advantage that
has been solemnly accorded +!
Such the political ethics, and such the di
piomatic logic, exhibited by Mr.. McLane!
Another communication will be necessary to
complete the narrative, and consider the actual
gains that have been purchased, at the cost of SO
much national dignity. X. Y.
