Hale i'm Reply TO Cass.

TffOTuTIUT,
time it pleasure OF the Senate to hear me %
address myself somewhat at length TO the suoec ana
should have waited until that fitting time had come nal
OF direct Gllusion been made 10 humble an indivd
unI 81 uyfen both by the Honorable Senator from Mich
icHr (Mr Cefs) and from South Caroina, OR Buuer)
On the 9Th Of March, l710 several citizens OF Boston
were shot down in the streets Of that city by bnsh sol
diery OF cOuIfc, II sent thrill Of horror and i1Sna-
ton throughout the community, aud wien the TACT was
announced 10 certain patriotic warm bloodei, ana I'M
pusiye old gentleman, indignation stirred his heart and
insutled his cOuntenancc and the emphatic expression
which he uttered deserves to be reinembered-deserves
10 be painted in letters OF light upon the wall OF the sen
ate Chamber in order that we may all remember y pc
cauRe il 20 be Lesson that Is so we4 pracued up
on now Said the old man, These soldiers must be
talked TO-" That the hight b which he was worked
Nd when American citizens were slaughtered by British
foous in the streets Of Boston" These soldiers must
be talked to-" We'll, sir, they were talked to but
did no, amount to anything Think that's one OF our eas
" besetting Substituting, everlasting talking Iakhg
sr might 10 good II, when the occasion lndeatet
by the talk comes, We lived up TO our words nave
word or two TO say upon this.
The Honorable Senators from Michigan Mr.. Case and
from South Carolina IMr. Butlerl alluded 10 remark
which made the other day thar when the time came
for action we should back out No" SIR tru't that
have rs high an appreciation Of American piriosn, oi
American bravery and of American ability to desent
their rights sgsnt Great Britain and against The world
ne any Senator here Itwas not reference 10 any such
Contingency tia. spoke and whoever will read tue de-
bates that were then taking place in the Senate will see
H. II WAS in reference 10 just exactly what the Honor
able Senator from South Carolina Mr. ButerI denon
mated these long advertisements and believe will be
universally found 10 be the case that the men who deal
mot in hJ deal lenst in action But SIR have not
doubt and had that any occasion that Affected
the interest and honor OF this country where American
pride. American feeling, and American patriotism were
touched this country might bill proud defiance 70 the
world ard that wiiEc predatory admontOn 10 the
world ofaIy resolution about what we would do.
Now regret that distinguished apariameutaran "a
the honorable senator from Michigan, Mr. Cas- should
bo,o do bo drbi
TO which listened with 80 much pleasure-wthout
coming to the real question which was pending oeiOre
the Senate The question which announced BY the
Chair underttood TO be upon the amendment which
had the honor 10 propose and that amendment not
whether we shonld tell Spain that she should not sell
Cuba Why Spain has told US that shc Will not sell 1t
and what good will DO for u 20 say you shall not
when spain save she will not, and when she has given
tie beet evidence that she sincere In their determna
ton In the fact that she has refused pretty liberal price
which offered her for And think IN that -he has
ade her acts yindicate her words she says she wal
not cell H. You have offered her hundred millions OF
dollars and she says she viii not take Is and now you
propose TO foItify your position by announcing to the
world that she shall not cell it 10 anybody else
and the Honorable Senator thinks we ought TO repeat
this declaration because the peculiar circumstances Vi
Cuba are such that she commands the Gulf oil Mexico
conmt nds tie outlet of the Mississippi River and sne -
in commanding position TO obtruct all our commerce
and alton that into the Gulf of Mexico and
seeks the mouth Of the Mississippi River Well, Sir,
suppose tho people Of this country are not 80 low their
pstriotm of that doubtful character nor their
bravery Of that spurious kind that they viii take posi-
ton before n weak nation that they will not assume
before strong use the words weak and strong
i'm comparative sense, because look upon Great Brit
ain as a much stronger nation than spain Now ask
If the local position Of Canada IN any aspect IN wncn
YOU msy view IT, either In relation TO the interest oil
peace or war ia not of a thousandfolt more conses
Guepce than Cubai Why, Sir, during the exciting pO'
icel canvass of ls4s-I am speaking historically
the candidate OF the great Democratic party oi the
nation which he's now swept the country did not go 70
beda single night when he was not within the reach OF
Briiish she that might have been fired into his dwell
ing from a British mortar. Laughter
Mr.. CAST slept very comfortably, though.
Laughter .,
Mr.. HALE-He slept very comfortably; for
suppose be had consoling reflections One was that
he was sae FOR election and the other that he was safe
from British bombs iLsugkter With these convic'
tonf / do not wonder he slept well
Well Sir, Canada aud the British possessions IN the
North extend from the Atlantic 10 the PACING Ocean
They border Oh our inland lakes and tie commerce tat
finds lie way to the Atlantic Coast over these lakes and
through the New-York Canals, taking The whole oil H.
will be found think, equal 10 at least hall oil al our ioi
eign commerce.
Mr.. SEWARD and others-MOre than all.
Mr.. HALE-More than all, l am told by seve'
raj Senators around me- The commerce OF these lake,
and these canals internal commerce that earned

rupted liable to be destroyed at any NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
