Mr.. SEwARD's ANSWER TO THE FRENCH
MEDIATION PRoPosAL.-Elsewhere will be
found the admirable answer made by Secre-
tary Seward TO the mediation proffer of the
French Government. He demonstrates with
conclusive clearness that the assembling of
such commission as is proposed by the
French Miaister would be without consti-
tu'ionai sanction, and that the results Of this
conference could have no binding effect on
either Of the contending parties. The deter.
mlnahon OF the Government and people to
maintain the Federal Union is stated in un-
mistakeable terms, and the proposition for the
appointment Of Commissioners respectfully
declined.
The matter and manner of the reply alike
challenge admiration, and it will receive q
hearty response from the entire people. 1t is
fortunate indeed for the country that the work
of dealing with SO important and delicate a
matter has been in the hands Of one SO well
qualified for the task as Secretary Seward
