Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-01-01

The sympathies Of both countries unbiased,
have always looked upon the right of as blum
on board our respective vessels as sacred, and
we had the same opinion, admired your spirit
in shielding the Hungarian patriot from the
grasp of Austria.
need not tell you how much every good
man here must regret this indiscretion, and
that for two such unH orthy aud wicked men,
we should be in the present difficulty. The
people here to large extent are bent
upon war, if justice is not done in the
matter; and here lies the difficulty, for
each nation has its own views and l am
afraid neither will give way. l am glad to
see, however, that the government OF the Uni
ted States did not give orders to Capt. Wilkes
to do as he has done; but still they may be
compelled to adopt his act as their own by
force of opinion on your side. As regards the
legal point, as l have before stated, l think
you have the advantage, bnt do not care a
straw what either your law authorizes or ours
may say upon the matter. | we cannot agree
why not refer the matter TO the arbitration of
three powers, say France, Italy, and Prussia,
and let their decision be binding 1t is not,
however, the common sense way, and we
must individually do our part as units in the
great commonwealth to avert the horrors of
war"

Morning Star newspaper OF Dec. 9th, that you
may read John Brights splendid speech and
Richard Cobden's letter on American affairs,
every word of which l endorse, and hundreds
of thousands in old England do the same.
My only object in sending you this is to beg
Of you and others in America not to give too
ready an ear to such papers as the London
Times, and other like papers which live by
lnhaming the war spirit in this country. You
may rely upon this, that all right thinking
Englishmen, whose voices are not heard most
unfortunately till too late TO stay an evil, are
as anxious to avoid collision with the brother
hood of North America as you and l are.
How little you and thought, when we met
in the summer Of 1860 that all this evil would
arise? | eandidly tell you that think our
government takes a one.sided view of the
Trent affair, and that, instead Of straining
the law, every allowance ought to be made for
the federal government. | wish | were at
President Lincoln's elbow,-I would say to
him, Tell Lord Lyons you feel the captain of
the San Jacinto had not done enough, and had
therefore acted wrongly tell him you regret
this, and are ready to restore the commiss ion
ers, if they are taken as the Trent ought to
have been, into aneutral port to be ad Indicated
upon. Let me assure you that the right
thinking men of England wish well to the fed

81 again repeat, we want no cotton for at
least six months. Our mills are many of them
closed aud all others are on about half lime,
but nobody appears to want the produce of the
mills We have stocks of yarn and cloth, but
find no customers. l believe it we did not
have a loom at work during 1862, we should
not consume half the stock now in the ware
