The leader Of the Union isupon Mr. Cramp-
toms dismissal and Mr.. Msrcy's reply to Lord
Clarendon, and closes rs follows;
"The whole case is presented by Mr. Marcy
in a style at once dignifed, pacific, and for
chile, whilst the argument Is 30 clearly and
logically made that it admits of NO answer.
As the case now stands, we have only to re-
peat q remark made some days ago that the
grounds on which Mr.. Champion dismissal
10 placed, furnish no reasonable cause to ap-
prehend any interruption of the amicable re-
lations between the two governments and
We cannot but indulge the expectation that
when Mr.. Marcy's reply reaches London, the
British cabinet will promptly acquiesce in the
course Of our government, as the only one
consistent with our national self-respect. 1t
will be seen clearly that our government has
much additional evidence fully sustaining
the guilt Of the accused parties, and that re-
cent Developments furnish further reasons
Why our government cannot consent longer to
hold diplomatic intercourse with him"

The extreme issue to which the Executive
has brought this protracted controversy by

Barclay, Mathew, and Rowcroft, who are al

Of our neutrality laws; fer while, from the
disclosures which had alread y transpired reIa
tive to the determination of the President to
persist In his extreme demand, notwithstand-
ing the cOnciliatOry assurances and ample
apologies contained in Lord CIarendon's last
despatch, We are not surprised by the an
nouncement of the final step which he has
taken in this diplomatic sqsabble, yet candor

that the Presidents convictions of public dutv
have exscted at his hands a requisition so I'M
gracious, and which, as we are constrained to
mink, was not demanded by the nature of the
unintentional offence committed and, least of
all, after the repeated disclaimers by which
the British Government has sought to atone
for it."
