that there can be no question between his
government and ours, for the reason that
the United States must yield the point in
the controversy, and will dissvOW the act
Of Capt Wilkes, and must return Mss)n
and Slidell to the bosom Of the only power
which seems heartily to desire the dismem-
berment of this Republic

Reverdy johnson have expressed the opin-
