THE SCENE ON BOARD THE PRINCETON.
The Tragedy on the Princeton is thus
described by Senator PHELPS, in a letter to
q friend in Boston -
wAsHiNorox, March Sd, 1914.
Your kind letter Of yesterday came to hand this

occurrence on board the Princeton was narrower

WEBSTER'S LETTER.

at is evident, at least, that there must be
some boundary. or some limits to Republic
which is to have a common centre. Free and
ardent specuatons may lead to the indu lgence
OF An idea, that such Republic may be extern
ded over whole hemisphere. On the other
hand, minds less sanguiue, or more chastened
by the examples of history, may fear, that extern
sion often produces weakness, rather than
strength; and that political attraction, like other
attractions, is less and less powerful, as the
parts become more and more distant. 10 this
difference, between ardent calculations. and
cautious fears, it seems to me to be the ,ruest
wisdom to abide by the present state Of things,
since that state of things is acknowledged on all
hands, TO be singulary happy. prosperous and
honorable. In all prints of uiec, therefore, in
