appear rather undiplomatic, or beneath the dig
ulty of such q state paper, andlike an atte1nptto
BE- alistie to the adsersary government. and there
fore lie dispatched note to Mr. Webster, sug- |
gcsting, If not too late, the substitution Of an-
other word. He received hy his messenger the |
following reply: :.
