have felt himself restrained by ill-judged and most
unfortunate declaration Of the President Of the United
States, only from the slightest official action in behalf
of these his unhappy -counrymen, but also from
any manifestation of tina, sympathy and compassion for
their dreadful fate which would have become him as
