concerned about this blockade and
ruin of the Charleston harbor. Mr..
Seward replies by lamenting that such
Z course is necessary, and shows how
utterly the harbor is destroyed by an>
nouncing that'a British steamer load
ed: with arms and goods, coanrtraband
of war, has run the blockade. Is
there anything else,> my Lord? Well
no e!nAre. you sure? Nothing. =. y Il
Mr.. Seward Immediately sets the
telegraph to work to intimate that-in
orderto save the suffering of their des-
tined journey--the British troops may
pass through Portland on their way to
Canada Now ! submit that we of the
South have. right to complain Of the
manner in which Mr.. Seward acted.
Did he not in this prove himself Eng
lands friend instead Of Americas !?
Was heJnot actuated by love for Eng
land We have right to complain
of this friendliness---it is contrary to
our Southern History and Southern
Constitution, (Yes, and that's so.)
We in the South have always bre athcd
hostility against England land we think
IN return we, have right to ask for
your assistance now We had right
to expect that yon would do something
for cotton! ~ .,.- 3.
lblame the North for giving up Ma

a right to revolution, blame the North
tor its friendIiness to England, it has
always been friendly to England, and
the South has always been hostile !
Was not the .Austzozasia,s which YOU
sent out loaded with soldiers, powder

You must come within three weeks

How absurd for the North to Justify
Dlockading our harbors that you can
not run in munitions of war over the
sunken ships, by maintaining that Eng
land sunk ships at Savannah eighty
years ago, where we seccssionists sunk
more the other day that Richelieu
made a dyke Of sunken ships at Roch-
ellie in 1928: that the British Admiral
ordered Boulogne to be blocked up in
1901, and sent five ships loaded with
stone to Alexandria, in 1907; that
Lord Dundonald tried to get Lord
Mulgrave to follow suit at Ak in 1900.
How absurd for the mud sills and
greasy mechanics of the North to find
excuses in despoiling the harbor Of
Charleston, by saying that d blockade
! of stone was better than a blockade of
dead men--that the Times wished
Delhi to be destroyed and sown with
salt, thear,] and recommended the
Government to destroy Pekin, street
l. by street, and house by house 49,
Cheers.] Let England barn Copen-
hagenzand not give up Malta !; but tile
North shows great weakness by trying
such Justification. They thought it
better to sink ships than to blow our
brave chivalry from the muzzle of guns,
as was done in. India; {hcar, hearl ];
but if we could get hold Of some of the
Northern traitors we would tie them
to the cannon as England did and send
them back to their camp in pieces, as
slight rebuke to them. [Shamel ] e
