that the Senate Of the United Ss'es bsd not Approval Of
the nomination Of Mr. George Sanders as L. Coos,d
a, London Knowing what an Influential part Mr. SAN
ders had in the overwhelming victory Of the De,pcrats
party in the Presidential election and having had occsson
to observe the zeal and energy which Mr Sanders showed
in uainta nng ard advancing the commercial interests o.
the United Ssa.es ard st the time having
fr ouenty witnessed the satisfaction ard the con-
sdeuce which he enjoys Of such Of his co1atrymcs
doing business at this place, well the esteem which
he had already SECURED the resolution OF the Senate might
have well taken greatly by surprise by its seeming in
cor ssency If rot want of principle Ye an too mach
accustomed to respect the principle of non Intervention in
the internal affairs Of foreign country to allow myself to
make mark in regard to that which in this melancholy
aar corcsrus Only the domestic policy of the United
States Futihe has further besringi touches in
its secs sacred intereststhe liberty Of the OPP
pressed nations of Europa and the future of Repubcsa
principles upon this continent.
Nj Consul Sanders has in this regard proved himself
here to be real Republican, man of principle. lie has

lie has, as Consul of the United Safes proved hmsefa
supporter Of polite exes friend of the Of
Euiopean liberty and has been ready to render any
service tia. was Incompatible with tho responsibilities
ard duties Of his office all OF who working for the
triumph of the Republican principle
In short animated by the wish to be true aud worthy
representative Of Republican America he had proved him
self by his public and private demeanor finn supporter
of Republican principles And this has been to us ser
vice the more valuable the il has become apparent
that the political situation Of Europe will soon
reach crisis where renewal of the struggle Of
fir, edom against oppression is and unavoidable
would be unjust towards the people Of the Uaed Sases
IL did that such behavior in such moments TO-
ward the repbicsns of Europe Mr. Sanders has shown
ard continues show is calculated 10 command besides
our poor thanks the confidence and satisfaction Of the
sovereign people Of the United States Of America and 10
make him deserve well of the honor consistency and inter
ests Of bis nation It Is und such circumstances Sir that
tie Senate of the United States refuse their confirmation to
TO Mr. Sanders
The Senate have by this unexpected act dealt Q
heavy blow to the cause of European liberty For thereby
not only DO we End ourselves deprived Of the warm sym
pathy and active support which bestowed Mr.
Sanders in the sphere of his legitimate authority but what
more the Senate have by their act led to the nterprsts
ton that they dsvow sympathy for the of European
liberty and will not suffer their diplomatic agents in
Europe to favor the triumph of republican principles
an far Eom believing that such an intent, to wit to
iure the of European liberty. has determined even
one single member OF the Senate in casting his II

repubcsn principles yet is certain that ths resolution
although unntentiona has produced such result The
despotc Cabinets of Europe in exutaon about raey
regard it as a practical re'rac,on and remarkabls
recsnation OF the principles pronounced In the Inaugural
Address and the Kosza Letter They thhk that the Senate
have removed Mr Sanders for that very because no
above ell hes verified his republican consistency in his
ci1 relations with the Republicans of Europe They tske
il az proof that the despots have nOthngto fear from hs
Governments America while we have nothing 70 hopefon
il And while this brings such look OF scornfa triumph
from the eyes oftbe despois it has depressing eject tho
public spirit Of the people AID that too in tho present
critical moment when The OF the sympathy Of
Republican America is 30 important encouraging and
beneficial Such is the heavy moral blow dealt by tho
Senate to the cause of European freedom.
If the Senate has not done this intentionally as belisvo
most assuredy Is to be regretted that this honorable
body surrounded With tho darkness OF psty party inter
es have not considered the bearing and consequences Of
their resolution.
Tie recollection of The history of the United States and
tho logical tradition of the fundamental principles Of the
foundation of States gave expect that Amerc. would
assis, in the Of Freedom in Europe Tho present
President at least Acknowledged that America Is Jet u
debted for he's freedom to Europe Even II she do not
choose to be Of any to may reasonably ask Of
her not 10 interfere with our interests This wo have
right 10 demand before God, tho world ard history.
But America has injured the Senate by their rasolu
ton gave US hard blow What experienced in America
makes me confidently believe IL at the oplonion Of the
sovereign people cannot approve su,h action Too
often aso did he that the elected servants OF tho poo
pie considered it their hest honor and duty to be the
ponent OF the wishes Of the people, TO doubt tina. when
the public express their will in q constitutional way
yet in uDmstakable terms. tho President Of the
United States WI embrace with pleasure the oppounyor
his high station and propose Mr. Sanders again Consul
70 London ard the Senate considering seriously tho po
cal consequences of their rejection will unanimously ap
prove the proposition and by this act show to the world
ba. not only the legislative body of Republican country
will not give way to sonsl feelings but will do all IN their
mower that in such critical the European nations
shall not have reason to despair Of the sympathy Of tho
Unified sates thus teaching the depo Of Europe that tho
republican sympsthes of aepubEcan fnction@y give him
tie surest claim the confidence OF the American Govern
ment
when Ikn America, bequesthed the seed which had
fown for raising up sympathy for the liberty Of Europe
e,pecay 10 the nrspg Of the German citizens of Americas
for is they who combine the republican principles Of their
new home with love for the old Faihersnd and the fre
future of the dear old Fstherand s solidarity with TIA
future Of the other naonslites Of Europe.
