Mr. Seward on tn. Peace Policy of the United

bgAL6ss ......
The policy Of the United States is set forth
in few golden sentences, which Secretary
Seward writes to Mr.. Harper Twelirtree, who
lately presided at a London meeting of con
graduation over the settlement Of the dispute
between the two countries:
The policy Of the American people, Sir
is policy of peace at home, peace abroad,
peace with all nations-a policy Of freedom
for themselves, of freedom in their extending
empire, and policy hopeful Of and conducive
to the ultimate freedom of all classes and con
ditions of men. Whoever shall wage wal
against the American people, viii find them
selves obliged, not only to commit the first
wrong, but to become, when they enter the
contest, the enemies, not only Of order, peace
and progress on this continent, but OF human
nature itself"
The letter which contains these remarkable
expressions-whieh find sympathetic response
throughout all the loyal States at least-is
published in the London papers One would
suppose It should forever give the lie to the
Misrepresentation which certain British jour
nails persistendy make, of the views Of the
Cabinet and Mr.. Seward in particular.
