who whether intending il or not had undeniably in
finged their neutrality laws and thereby outraged their
national INDEPENDENCE Should be recalled from country
where his presence could longer be acceptable to the
people, pleasant to HIMSELF advantageous to the nte
rests Of the nation he representedy
We have dealt at some length with this subject, not
because We apprehsnd any danger of from
the dismissal Of Mr. Crampton, il it stood alone;
