Lintolns message claimed great attention,
Notwithstanding that public attention 0sas
deeply engrossed by the death Of Prince Al
bert The silence of the Presidents message
on the Tent affair was the subject Of much
conjecture and comment 1t was generally
regarded as a loop hole for escape, and gave
rise to some hopes Of peace, although the
| General construction was warlike The
| Times argues that by studied silence the
President left himself door for retreat, but
1 thinks the,chances of peace undoubtedly di-
mlnshed. The Times says nothing can be
more ungracious than the Presidents treat
ment Of foreign powers for their forbearance 9
/ a gracious and courteous Acknowledgement
| was due The Times also devotes an article
! 10 the report of the Secretary OF the Navy,
which threats with ridicule, and denoances
as an Unparalleled crime the proiect II block
ing up ports by sunken vessels
i The Post treats the message as undeniably
warlike, and although remarking on the ST.
lince relative to the Trent affair, says If wa
scarcely within ordinary scope Of the mess
sage. 1t also charges the President with in
gratitude in dealing with maritime powers
In the same article it says the dispatch TO
Lyons was simple and final. 1t is utimatnm
in itself.
The Daily News considers the Silence on
the Trent affair an indication OF prudence
and caution, and favorable to peace. 1t is
pleased TO believe Lincoln desired 70 hold
himself free to speak at the appropriate time.
1t nevertheless complains of the Presidents
retrlevance, and of the little credit b, Ives
foreign governments.
The Star justiies the silence relative to the
Trent, and praises the clearness, force and
bility of the message
The Herald takes quite contrary views,
and fears space almost hopeless. ~. rnta
