my heart which take with me when leave America,
to act the part which Divine Providence calls me 70 ACT
that impression will strengthen my noble resolution
in oppressed Europe, because you, cinzens OF New

The energy of love what it considerably conceives
1t was beautiful word of distinguished son OF Mas
sachusetts (Mr Webster) which like to repeat, that
every nation has precisely the same interest IN nerna
ona law that private individual has IN the laws Oh
his country; and your enlightened intellect Is aware
iTr;.a I'd
the despoc powers arbitrarily alter, modify ana inter-
polate those international laws, then the United states
have ceased to hold the position OF power on EARN
because the law of all the great family Oh ma
tons being thus decided without your vote, you are
either not taken to be lawfully independent nation, or
YOU are considered weak and powerless as nos 10
dare vet TO claim the position OF being OF lawful age
And indeed there many incidents out OF winch IL
il very evident that either you yourself acknowledge
not to be entitled TO position OF apower on eath OAR
ing to assert its principle anywhere, or that the aDsou
istcal powers are only too much inclined not 70
YOU a power on earth. Look at the Instructions OF
your Navy in the Mediterranean Sea recently puDlsned,
lorbdding American officers even to speak IN conversa'
ton of politics in Europe Look at the corresPondences
of your Commanders and Consuls frightened to their
very soul that exile on board an American snip IS
cheered by the people of Italy and in France, and
charging him with the immense crime OF having met sym
pathy that he is possessed of devil and compromises
the flag of America Look at the often expressed u.s.
tonishmcnt of European writer's and European s.a.
men even of such Lord Broughan, that hieri9a'i,

how French Napoleonish papers frown maignalsy a.

ropean powers. Look how they dared sneeringy de-
clare it to be presumptuous arrogance nay aos. an
insult that an American Minister true to Ms own anu W
his couptrys fundamental principles, dared to pro
nounce his judgment about the perncious pocy winch
some European powers pursue LOOK now even SUCH

The principle of neutrality does not involve the
nrincpie of ndiferentism above the violation oil the
laws Of nations which are common property to all
nations. Indifference to these violations Is rasne,
contrary to the principle Of neutrality. As inoeeH

ty, that perurious dynasty may arm vessels IN your
nav find some foreign diplomatic influence has grown
too strong in Republican America; and Russian Divine
Right has only advocates but votaries In hepuocan
