great countries have been thrown by the mistakes the
misconceptions of our respective governments.
Whatever may be the of either both Of these
governments cannot forget that we have TO do with
people who, for domestic enlightenment commercial
terprse and political Importance, rank among the
first uufio mon parfh W
increase Of population and Christian philanthropy, pro-
mise at distant period to attain the highest degree Of
influence among the governments OF the civilized world.
brotherhood of race and community OF interests
have sprung up between two nations more intimate,
continuous. and more comprehensive than the world
has before Never in recognized history
two great communities closely allied by blood or
intimately blended by their common interests and never
before il given TO the world 10 witness union where
so much involved of the wealth, the prosperity and
the happiness of distinct States each having its separate
government and being under the control Of It's own in
We are therefore all the alive-and allow US to
add, trembingly ahve--to whatever may affect this
union and interrupt the harmony that has long exist
ed be tween us to reciprocal ADVANTAGE and we be
lieve the benefit of the whole world. Providence has
made US mutually dependent so much so, indeed, that
whatever would seriously njure the one, would to an
equal extent seriously injure the other As the direct
consequence Of this Providental arrangement We
equally interested with yourselves in the material that
grown in your fields, the shipping that conveys the
goes every market Of the universe and in the endless
train of relationships that the most prncey commerce Of
the world has interviewer between for its auxil

family and Of one religion our sons, by long continued
emigration spread your SOIL and you have made
them happy by every domestic endearment higher
than human destiny has made interests identical and
interviewer the prosperity of the State with the pros

nations in position to show what national friendships
may accomplish, where rivalry Is directed 70 common
good and where success equally shared between the
rivals.
And shall war be permitted to sever us' Shall battle
and bloodshed confagration and the sword be allowed
divide those whom God and mutual interest have made
one, and to convert into national enemies brethren by
blood by race and by regon In the name OF humanity
and cvilisaon-in the name Of our common Maker and
of His holy faith, which both nations profess TO believe
and practise say MOL There is no sacrifice Of tme
Of wealth. and of influence that would not be ready to
make to prevent dire a catastrophe among mankind
catastrophe that believe would directly tend
the barbarm Of the feuda ages and TO furnish des
posm with plausible pretext for banishing every form
Of constitutional government from the face OF the earth
We implore you therefore, brethren, in the name Of
all that sacred and valuable among mankind to employ
such methods your own judgments shall approve Of

Part will exert ourselves to the utmost Of power TO
produce similar effect upon the government OF the Br

calm and quiet survey OF the question will even yet lead
to satisfactory solution of every difficulty and TO the
mora Of every of contention and complaint This
convinced may best be done by submitting the
whole case to the arbitration Of Power friendly
