Government could not deny the justice
of the claim presented. We are asked
to do to the British nation just what
we always insisted all nations ought 10
do to us. In coming to my conclusion
have not forgotten that II the safety
of This Union required the detention OF
the prisoners, it would be done.
1t would be the right and duty Of
this Government to detain them, but
the effectual check and waning proper
tons Of the existing insurrection. as
well as the comparative unimportance
of the captured persons themselves,
when dispassionately weighed, happily
forbid me from resorting to that defense;
nor am l unaware that American citi-
zens are not in any case to be unneces-
sarrIy surrendered for any purpose into
the keeping of foreign State. Only
the captured persons, however, or 9TH
ers who are interested in them, could
Justly raise question on that ground.
1t would tell little for our own claims
to the character Of g just and magnani-
nous people, if we should so far con-
sent to be guided by law of retaliation
as TO lift up buried injuries against ma
tional consistency and national con-
science.
Putting beyond me all suggestions
of this kind, l prefer TO express my
satisfaction that by the adjustment OF
the present case upon principles con-
fessedly American, and ye;, as 1 trust,
mutually satisfactory to both nations
concerned, a question is finally and
rightly settled between them, which,
heretofore exhausting not only all forms
of peaceful discussions, but also the
arbitrament of war itself, for more
than half century alienated the two
countries from each other, and per-
picked with fears and apprehensiors all
other nations.
The four persons in question are now
held in military custody at Fort War
ren, in the State Of Massachusetts
They will be cheerfully liberated.
Your Lordship will please indicate a
time and place for receiving them.
renew my assurance of my very
high considerations.
