American Flag Humiliated at
the Feet of Great Britain = English
Rejoicing Over II. $3.50


The London Times of May 9. in an
article upon the treaty for the suppression
of the African slave trade, recently con
cluded between Mr.. Seward on behalf Of
our Administration, and Lord Lyons for
the British Government, says:
IT gives the right Of search to all Brit.
ish cruisers, and thus abolishes, we hope
for ever, the only protection under which
the slave trade has, in recent years, ex.
listed. -'a'o
"This is the fruit of secession. If there
had never been q secession, there never
would have been slave.trade treaty. If
the States had still been enc and iudivisi.
BILE, we never should have obtained from
the panctilious Republic the privilege of
violating the Stars and Stripes BY seizing
a cargo of slaves from under them.p
Under the pretext of searching for
slaves, British cruisers can no,c stop ev-

bring them to, board them. detain them
while they are searched, thus annoying
our commerce and humiliating our flag.
Heretofore it has been our proud boast
that the flag covered the cargo-that no
American deck could be boarded by a
British officer except at his peril If the
vessel searched was engaged in contra
band .rade-if she was slaver--if she
was a pirate--if she only hoisted the
American flag to hide her. true character
no harm was done, or reparation asked,
of course; bot il the search ives made, as
searches are made on land. it is at the
peril of the officer or vessel engaged in it.
Thisis the only true principle of maritime
law and justice. The United States went
to war in 1912 with Great Britain to
maintain this right of freedom from search,
which the American Administration has
now tamely relinquished. The Stars aud
Stripes are now lowered and humiliated

the fact. Great Britain becomes high

Amos Kendall and Philadelphia Press

The following letter of Hon. Amos
Kendall to the editor of the National In
telligencer, though written before the ap-
psarance of the Presidents proclamation,
will be read with interest by all conserva-
tive citizens. Mr.. Kendall is a very old
man, of the true Jackson school, but, as
will be seen, believes ia Furnishing the
traitors. Here is the letter:

Model Gun Boats.

"Orpheus G. Kerr" thus writes to the
Sunday Kercury:
1t would afford me great pleasure, my boy.
to report great victory for our cause in Vir.
ginia, but no such result is yet visible to the
eye in state Of nudity.
The gunboats to break the rebel blockade
have not started up the Potomac yet, owing
to mistake by the General of the Mackercl
Brigade. @
Some months ago, my boy, the General
gave an order to an Eastern contractor for a
couple OF pecnliarly made gunboats for this
service; but happening to pass the White
House, shortly after, saw that he took to be
the models OF two Just such cunboats pro.
truding ont of one Of the windows. Think
ing that the President had concluded to at.
tend to the matter himself he Immediately
telegraphed to the contractor not to 20 on
with the job. s#a w 1'#
Quite recently the contractor came here
again, and says he to the General:
:" I'd like TO see the models of those White
House gunboats."
The General conducted him toward the
White House, my boy, and the two stood
admlrlng the models, which protruded from
the window as usual sf
Pretty soon Western Congressman came
along, and says the contractor 70 him: "Can
you tcllln sir, whether these models of gun.
| boats up there are on exhibition w
"Gunboats" says the Western chap, look
ing up. "Do you take those things Tor gun

or course says the contractor.
" Why you burned fool ~ says the Con-
gresham, those are the Presidents boots.
| The President always sits with his feet out
OF the window when he's at home and those
arc ends OF bis boots" a.a'E
Without another word, my boy, the Gen.
eral and the contractor turned gloomily from
the spot convinced that they had Witnessed
the most terrific feet of the campaign.
