Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1863-10-09

Nsssaa being a base OF operations to the Coo,
fsderate armies, you shoHld use the utmost tol
eraAon 0t our efforts to prevent this II youI
| sympashies are with those who are sndeayoring
| to ruin Es you sh0uld not parade them. IF You
think you will gain By the rupture Of the Union
you are mistaken Do you suppose that the
Coniederstes sympathizs with yCu, except 50
lar IS they believe that you hate rs z
"N0," l said, II have nc dsUbt that the Con
fedeTAtes hate US as much as yOH do An hon
est neutral is always hated By both belEgsrsntr;
hut they have the merit Of keeping their secret
better. II We knew al that they think and feel
we probably should feel toward them what ven
seem 20 be trying 10 maks rs feel toward you
"Wsll, +" he said, II de Bet believe, with Your
French friends, that cur great men are mad
do net believe, therefore, that they wish for var
Ner Go / believe at yours do so hut each
party Is excited; each party is-whsthsr vol
uHtaIIiy or Hot-dOIug crest mischief 10 the other
1 sss no remedy bat patience, ard an earnest
attempt 70 repress the evil passions Of the stu-
Gated mobs in your country, and Of the uaeda-
eated mobs in mine. OF one thing I am cer-
tsin, that if you think that any intsrfsrencs on
your part viii stop the war, vou are wrong
Not England, and France, and Rusgia-H0t ST
Europe could influence Us
Not" I answered, "by persuasion -
'Not," ne replied, "by force. What the
South wantH is food, and thss you cannot give
hsr she has arms enough, bat she Is starving,
ana will be starved 0gs"
" expectations Of Deaes bstwesn you and
Us" he continued, 81 depend much on the man
nsr ia which you deal with the iron-clsds which
the C5uiederstes are now buildirg in England
and Scotland. You excuse yourse.Vs fir nos
hsvl1g stopped he A.absms on tire ground that
shs was not obviously 8 ship of war. These
ships ara so. No merchant vessel is plstsd. We
main tsin they are intended for the ConfsdeTstes
Intended to prey upon the commerce Of the
F-dersls, your friends How can we prove it
except by the facts which are already az obvious
a. thsT csn be made For what other purB0-
ses can they be intsnded7 The builders alone
have the documents by which the innocent
destinations of the ships esn be shown. You
should call or the builders TO produce them.
II they refuse, yOu may safely assume that they
are intended to attack Us. do not ask you to
clntigcsts them, OF even 70 stop their progress
but maTsly 20 dstsin them until the builders
prove, which they can do IN s-dsy, the iuuo-
ceuce Of thfir destination. In the Crimeau war
We did much more. We actually stopped the
prngross of the AlexRndria on the suspicion tba-
she was intended for the Russians Not su axe
or q hammer was allowed 10 be lifted in her. We
f0uud eur laws, as you have found yours, III
sufficient We amended them. You merely
iotd yoUr sTm5, and allow proceedings opposed
to your municipal law, snd to International law,
to good tesing and to good faith 70 90 en- because
ysur municipal law has not sufficient detective
power. Then give it that power. You
are not, as We are, bound by a constitution
Your Parliament is cmAipotent If it is not
skilled enough TO invent a Law which shsu en-
abls such atrocities TO be detected and perverted,
let it copy the law which we passed for that pUr-
pose, and which was sufficient. If you refuse
to DO this, and, in consequence Of your negi-
gence, or of your self inflicted impotence, these
irOnsidas escape and plunder us, the American
people, irritatsd enough already, viii be unTov-
ernsble You have seen enough Of them to
know that their resentment is not under the con
troll of their interest They viii really bacoBs
as mad as your French frieads call them. They
will be quite ready 10 rUiz themselves in order
to ruin you"
