ldent TO the Senate.
Mr.. Ilulsemann will Observe from this
statement that Mr.. Mann's mission was
wholly unobectionable, and strictly within
the rule Of the law of nations, and the duty
! of the United States as a neutral Power. He
will accordingly feel how little foundation
there is for his remark, that Chose who did
not hesitate 10 assume the responsibility o
| sending III. Dudley Mann on such an errand
| should, independent. of considerations of pro-
prlety, have borEe in mind that they were
exposing their emissary to be treated as a
spy" A spy is person sent by one bellig-
erent 10 gain secret information Of the forces
and defences Of the other, 10 be used for hos
tile purposes According 10 practice, he may
use deception, under the penalty of being
lawfully hanged if detected
To give this odious name and character 10
a confidential agent Of neutral Power, bear
ing the commission of his country, and sent
for Il purpose fully warranted by the law Of
nations, is not only to abuse language, but
also TO confound all Just ideas, and 10 an
nounce the widest and most eAtravagant no.
