new TO ,b, rescne of TIE unfortunate
The excitement caused by the Trent affair may
surely sdmoulsh ne TO look with forbesrauce upon
that excess OF widespread exasnneyation" whitn
the NewYOrk Chamber warn US to expect. The
text Of the resolutions adopted by that body more
than justites the comments we have made upon The
Geographic summary of them. They ore unln-
peacha6ie in spirit and expression. They are the
words of the representatives, of people az sincerely
desirOus OF friendship with closely akin IN |
nature and in interest. They are the words of men
10 whom The Indignation that cannot be reprossed IS
tempered by an anxious SOLITUDE 20 prevent hos |
ulty or even Misunderstanding. They state moth
ing but facts, end they evoke no interference but
Il at Of lawful authority end international good feel-
inc. The basis Of their remembrance cannot be
impugned. !; ~ undesirable that our neutrality bas
been grossly fundamentally, we do not
doubt, so ar ias our Government l. conoemed-by |
the builders Of tie Alahama. IL IL equally ndispui-
Sle that such acts bive been perperaied by that
vessel tend 10 spread the worst horrors OF war over
tie wide Atlantic, and 10 provoke between two
great maritime naiOns Spirit OF rtpressbie, I'M
paCablo hostility. There Is no breath of menace III
the language OF the resolutions they aLord 30
handle 30 Tie .uccnGiary pohicans OF TINS country
VITO emulate The most evil fplri,s Of tie Ifansatan-
ic press aud stump. They constitute IN eXpostnla-
ton and anpaal that the most sensitive among US TO
TIE national honor may receive without oense, ana
they deserve such response from our Government
end peone shall make L impossible again to aOase
z
warfare o. the ocean.
From IL, To4do7 Time,
What has England TO do with this Suppose we
hsd knowingly allowed "a ship oi-war 10 be built
end armed and proyisioned and Manned and TO so,
hyiug the Confederate flag, ont Of one az eur sea-
ports we should have done wrong. We should
have done what the United States did when, during
the RGssan War, hey sent the America across The
Pacific 10 the Russians III the Yellow sea. We
si0nld have done what the United States did when
D . "a. he mi
! down in American dockyard. But we have done
nothing Of the sort Our shlpOwDers have sold
slg a. they ar9 every day selling ships. Whether
she was better adapted for war or for peace IL noth-
ing TO them or 10 us. She LETT port an uDaruied
vessel. Depend upon il she infringed no law muni-
opal or International for Mr.. Adams and bis agents,
as well us the secret committee which sta ~ Lon
don, had all their eyes upon her. Whether sie
would have been q lawful piiZe when she hal left
oar waters we know not; tnat must depend upon
her papers but she WAC hot ship when our Gov
eminent had any right to stop.
Ne cannot shut up our shipping yards, bat all the
world is Tree 20 buy IN them. We do not tit ont
ships OF war, bot sell all the component matenas
TO any who will buy. IL IL for them at beir own
risk to take them away aud put them together. In
ooing hrs we follow very high example, and are
covered by very high authority. j. lS0j When We /
were at war with kussia, some Of us had some fool
ish uotons t-at ought 10 have the sympathy Of a
kindred race and free Government. We were in- |
cIned 10 eXpostulate when we found America cell. .
ing 10 our eiemy the chief materials by which he /
carried on the war. But what did Mr. President |
Pierce answerl lie showed us at once how wrong
we were. lie protested the lurest neutral policy, /
and he thus ncidy dejDed that policy. LIS Message
