IN mis- answer to the Senale's call, says
'.1Aesc letters not app'ar'ag TO rcqasre
anu 0nsmers, na,.e werc girc:.'
Looking to the dates OF all these let
ters, and the niid is forced TO DO eve that
the result OF the presidential! election al
l84O gave rise to lnem; thut the foreign
crs who applied, by concert. to the new
Administration, the in stan, it vas formed.
10 :. Ike cogn,zancc OF their cc,.,plain,s.
came in to claim the benei, Of tia;
change; aud thus manifested direct il-
tercst ia our presidential election. An
answer TO these tore gaers was due both
10 them aud TO the United States. y
prompt and direct answer was due Ia
them. TO undeceive ttem in their hope
from The United States: it was due to The.
United States, in order To save her from
future demands. Oar Secretary gave n ],
answer-none oil any kind! aud BY this
silence admitted and sanctioned every
thing which the toreign capitalists had up
piled Tor.
Such dereiction oi duty as tkis-a
failure under such circumstances to all
swer foreign business letters Of sucn mo
ment-can onl y be attributed to desire
TO promote the wishes OF the foreigners,
and to give their demands silent ody
ment on the archives Of our Government
To ald these foreigners, was ev IDENTIFY the
design and the polcy Vi not answering
them; and it any doubt were possible
OH this point. the previous aud subsequent
conduct OF Mr.. WEBSTER would prove il
upon him. The date OF his El.OoO let
ter in London shows that ke and the
BARlNGs e6genderrd the scheme OF the
comprehensive guaranfy; his avoiding
the vote Oh Mr.. BsNros's resolutions.
(Which were introduced ~, soon as MIR.
WEBSTER got back from London.) shows
that lie was not ready then TO advocate
tbs pay snent OF these debts, and would
not commit himself aga:nst them; and
his declaration IN FaneuiI Hail last
September, that the publlc lands were the
fund for paying these debts, shows that
ht. IS now ready to play out the game
which he seems 10 have begun III london.
The whole conduct OF our Secretary then.
shows him TO b 10 favor oi the ..c,mpre-
heMsiue g,sar1nty.s aud that he has been
playing the part best suited to promote
the wishes a the foreigners.
Il is notorious that these foreigners
took q great interest in QUE presidential
election Of 1910; and tlg result Of that
election, SO Tar a. il has gone to- maks
