II u
Sir: / had the honor of receiving your ia
vor Of the 30th ultimo,, with the resolutions
recently adopted by the Representatives of
the United Congregation of Israelites of the
city of New York on the subject of the alb
ductlon and detention of Edgar Mortara from
bis parents. under the papal government.
!. The letters addressed to me on the 20ta ct
November and 10th ultimo, to which you call
my attention, were referred in regular course
to the Sta te Department, and have been sub
stantially answered in the letters addressed by
the Secretary Of State on the Dist of Novem-
ber and the Sth of December last, to NJ A
Hart, President of the .'Mickvn Israel, Phil
adelphia. These letters have been extensive
ly published througout the country and it is
evident from their face that the opinion there
in expressed had received my appreciation.
| l have been long convinced that it is nei-
ther the right nor the duty of this govern
meut. to exercise moral censorship over the
conduct of other independent governments,
and rebuke them for acts which we may deem
| arbitrary and uuj Just towards their own cti-
zens and subjects. a practice would
| tend to embroil US with all nations. We our
! selves would not permit any foreign power
thus to interfere with our domestic. concerns
and dsenter protests against the legislation or
action OF our government toward onr own cit
izens.. If an attsnpt Of this kind were made
! we should promptly advise a6nch government
on return. to con6ne themselves TO then own
affairs, and not to intcrmeddle with our con-
| Germs. .-..>F
1t is, perhaps. fortunate, that tie assertion
4 of the principle of non -in.eryention on the
part of the United States between foreign
soyereigns and their own subjects has arisen
/ in case so well calculated to enlist our sym
pathies as that of the Mortara family. For
this reason the precedent will be SO much the
stronger, and be entitled to the more binding
force -.
y Ii. is enough for. US. to defend the rights o
our own cit,zGps, under treaties or the law OF
nations, wheRayer and wherever they may b,
assailed by. the government of any foreign
country, Had Mamola Mortara been citi
zen ofthe United States, the case would have
been quite different The Israelitish citizen
of the United States have had occasion t.
know that have not been regardless of their
just rights in foreign countries, and they ma,
, rest assured that they shall receive that sam
4 protection when domacilcd abroad during M
e administration, which is extended to all othe
citizens of our common country. They woul
ask no more, aud shall receive nothing less
