that the decision WAS "foregone conclusion" !"

have they to 30 Ii they can take our Ala

bave no occupation. On the other hand their
mercantile marine will be mere numerous than
their privgteere and these will keep our brave
ships actively engsged--for then the harvest
will be abundant, and we only regret that the
laborers are comparatively few-yet quite
enough to keep Yankee maritime cities in d
perpetual ierment. Long live the Alexandra !!
