think it is enough for u.s. in all conscience, to have
been humbugged and dshonored and disgraced by the
British nation, without appropriatlng thlrty-tve
houaand dollars for the purpose of an American exhibit
tion there
Mr.. Kellogg, (Rep) of Illinois, inquired if it had
been thrOu the action of the British Government, or
o our Government, that we have been thus dis
honored and disgraced?
MIR. Lovejoy-I understand how it was done. That
disgrace was all that the nation could bear. lnas-
much as we have submitted to be thus dlshonored by
Great Briain think the least can do to ackn0wl-
edge it, and to stay at home till the time comes when
we can whip that nation. Then will be willing to go
and appear at their W Words Exhibition. Every time
think of that surrender the words come instincyey
to me which 1eas used when requested by Queen Dido
to rehease the sueripgs which had befaen the roans
during the siege and capture of Troy. I" Oh Queen
you require me to renew the intoerahe grief OF that
siege by re-actDg it." Every time the Trent affair

every time that Ihave to think of it, that expression o
the tortured and agonzed Trojan exile comes 10 my lips
i am made to renew the horrors which l suffered
when the news of the surrender of Mason and Sllde
