letter from Mr.. Adams to Mr.. Seward:
LEGATION OF TUE UNITED STATES,
London, December 20, 1861.
SIR: Although nothing remains TO be done
here to modify the respective positions Of the
two countries in regard to the affair of the Trent,
decided to ask a conference Of Lord Russell.
then remarked that my dispatches enabled
ME now to assure him that the act Of Captain
wilkes had not been autho,iz lied by the Govern
ment and further, that they would reserve
themselves pertessly free to act upon It until
they should hear from this side Of the water
If Her Majesty's ministers were disposed tc
enter upon the subiest, with a view to an ami
cable settlement, they would be met in or
equally friendly spirit.
His Lordship expressed bis qualification on
receiving this information. He had, himself
little doubt In regard 10 the first point, eve,
since learning from me the nature Of the in
structions given to the commander of the
James Adger. The other point was lkswis,
important, as 1t removed the danger of com
initial prior to the moment When the views O
the Government should be presented on th,
part of Great Britain.
l then proposed, as means Of fully bringing
to his Lordship's knowledge the real spirit Of th.
Government of the United States, that he should
let me read to him dispatch exactly as hat
received it. A judgment might be fully form
ed Of it in this way, inasmuch as the paper hai
recapitulated the various grounds of misun
derstanding and complaint.

they expressed to become a free peo>

governed by feelings, but by the prin-
ciples of costitutional law. Congress
could not admit new state out oftke
ancient territory without the assent Of
the old Commonwealth, and this had
not been given. If States should be

if there no other way, he would seize the re-
belous portions, hold them as territory. and re
populate them.
Mr. Wickliffe-You speak about repopuating
Virginia, what would do with the people, would
you exterminate kill or make slaves of them.
Mr. Edwards Ii necessary would exterminate
that whole people, in order to preserve the integN
rity ofthe Union.
Wickliffe asked-Women and children?
Mr.. Edwards--No, they are not found in arms.
This unntentional pun gave rise to general
laughter They are entitled to the defense and
protection CT every civilized people of the world

people ID Western Virginia, begging to be olsen
