TnE TROUBLES WITH the UNIFIED STATES
just hoping that the clouds which have for
moment ohscurea the horizon were beginning 10
scatter, we awohe from the agreeable deuson by an
olher manifesto from Nj Attorney General Cushing The
sght oil The Smallest portion of blue sky enough 10
excite the nesngushabe love of strife that burns in the
breast OF this distinguished legal authority Do the people
England begin tobeeve that they have been hasty
eieeag mere eeciloneerng dodge the dignity
uona demonstration DO the people OF America begin
to think that they pushing matters little too hard
against friends and relatives who have shown the
cere and unmistakabe desire to give reasonable ground
Tor offence The soai OF Caleb Gushing troubled and
he PUSHES between the hareconcled dspuans TO point
out that his side have been much used than they
seem 10 think and that there Is nothing left for Brother
Jonathan than from Brother John most un-
satisfactory satisfaction which used be considered the
peculiar mark of a gentleman.
The rst thing that strikes in reading the circ
lar Of Mr. Attorney General Cushing which viii be found
in our American intelligence is the useessness
any good purpose OF putting forth any such document
ALL In this country II is in the Queenn the United
States II is III the Pesidentthat the constitution
the power OF calling attention. by proclamation such
portions OF the law in danger of being violated
In nail Arc
tne Attorney General His expositions of the law
no authority either with judges ues Ifit be intended
to put any more persons their trial for alleged eulst
nent OF citizens, such semocal declarations
only tend to prejudice and embarrass the The Judges
OF the land are competent to declare the law and will
doubtless do SO as they understand it, without reference
70 the opinions circulars of the Attorney General
1T on the other hand the intention of this circular be
any future violation of the neutrality OF the United
States 1T then wears the air OF intentional insult TO
feat Britain, inasmuch 1T presnpposes that she will
do that which she has formally and deliberately
nounced her intention the United States of not again
attempting. No one will dispute the position taken up in
this crcuarthat tie United States have the right and
the power to prohibit foreign enlistment within their
ritory by act Of Congress though many may doubt
whether without such act Of Congress- the enlistment of
troops within the territory by belligerent would be
hostile attack national sovereignty; pre-
pared to admit asserted by Mr. Cushing defiance
vate that to allow beligerent party and the
other TO enlist troops in neutral State would be fragrant
breach OF neutrality But surely both England and the
United States have right to complain when the Attorney
Gelera OF the United States takes upon himself not
ly to lay down the law but of his authority find
facts and those facts which have bearing upon his duty
as public prosecutor but of discussion solely
between the Two nations What right has Mr. Cashing
his official capacity TO assert that Great Britain attempt
ing ~ the agency Of her civil and military authorities the
british NORTH American provinces, aud her diplomatic and
consular lunctonaries in the United States troops
IN the United States has committed OF usurpaton
against hesovereign rights the United States Weo
object TO this assertion because Is manl'esy unrnenas
much as Great Britain attempted raise troops
lntt4
on her erritorybut because be il true false,
is matter entirely out of the Attorney Generals cogni
canoe, in doSnatzing ON which Mr.. Cushing to his
own expression commits act of usurpationn against
the rights of the foreign minister of The Union Equally
uncacd for, aid equally objectionable is the statement
that the Indictment and conviction OF any such consul
his escape, by arranged instructions conrivances
eyae the operation OF such statute Is subordinate the
consideration OF the national insult involved in the fact OF
foreign government nstructng its officers to abuse for
unlawful purposes the privileges they happen to enjoy in
the United States.
Mr. Gushing only imagine that the of England
must either be convicted by unworthy conryan
Why not supposeai least the sake of apparent
candor and mpartiatyhat they may be able to estab-
lish their innocence Such presumption ia
ransed by the ordinary rules OF evidence and would not
we think, have been unworthy of the high legal situation
which Mr. Gushing fills. 1t is the duty of the Attorney Gen.
eral to prosecute conviction those who have offended
against the laws the republic how is it his duty 10
remind the people that after these trials have taken place
they still have ground of quarrel against the country
whose agents have offended? Such remarks introduced
INTO PROGRESSED OF the which ought above
all things, to be calm and dispassona convey but
different compliment to the community which they
addressed, and do but small credit the official no thus
goes out Of his way order take upon himself the
odous Office OF stirring up strife and discussion We
not believe that such arts win have any permanent effect
great and intelligent community like that happily
established the other side Of the Atlantic Until much
better evidence is afforded than present possess
shall persist believing thai such abuse OF high
official position can have no other effect than bring dis
credit upon him who resorts to it, and 10 place of all
parties their guard against persons content achieve
the smallest political object at the expense OF national
confagraon

ATTITUDE ENGLAND TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES
While the governments of America and England are
confronting each other In attitude of suspicion if
OF hostility il Is worth while TO consider with what feel
ngs the people whom these regard
each other This is nconsiderabe element in the prob
abilities of peace for and again have we
England and the United States driven the very
verge OF rupture and saved from it by the interview
ton Of the people, whom governments and democrats
might divide for moment but whose feelings mutually
recoed at the actual prospect Of
and hostility. OF the feelings Of the people of England
towards the people of America have happy to
say doubt or difficulty in speakinghat feeling is IA
unanimous il is cordial Whatever bitterness may have
survived the termination of the revolutionary war; the
advsed contest OF 1sl3li has long since passed away
Engmen desire for the United States the
OF progress and prosperiiy they admire their energy
they respect their inventive talent and they
without jealousy and without apprehension the rapidly
coming time when the northern continent of America shall
be peopled from by the hardy descendants of
the AngloSaxon We hear without envy of the
increase OF the tonnage of the American mercantile
navy for well that that vast feet is engaged
