THE FRENCH sPoLIATToN CLAIMS.

To avoid all improper differences in regard 10 the article
the French spoiation claims which appeared in our
paper Wednesday, deem it right to state that the
views expressed the individual opinions Of the editor Of
the Union formed upon investigation and expressed with
out consultation with any We do not regard the
question involved in the claims of party charac-
ter but which Of the party may honestly
differ and freely act upon their respective convictions.
We make these remarks that may suppose that the
article referred furnishes any indication Of the views Of
the President any member of his cabinet We know
nothing of their views the subject and should regret
that any should be mised in regard to them by the
impression that views those of the administration
