WASHINGTON. November q. 1884
ABOUT six weeks ago, Mr.. Joseph Parker.
OF Manchester, England, arrived at New
YORK, bringing with him the Peace Ad-
dress OF the subjects of Great Britain ard
ireland, with letter from Sir Henry De
Houghton to Gov. Seymour, who declined
formally to receive it, assigning as a rea-
son that it should be given to the PRESS
dent of the United States, the latter being
the only authorized channel If commnni.
cation between other nations and the c;ti-
zens OF the United States; and besides.
Gov. seymour said his official position did
not authorize him to accept the address in
behalf of other States, and that it would be
better to withhold the document until after
the PRESIDENTIAL election, so as to avoid the
appearance of interfering With the canvass.
Mr.; Parker conformed to these suggestions,
and having arrived here last week. ad,
dressed note to Secretary Seward, stat
ing that he had been deputed to this conn
Try to convey the address to the people Of
the United States, and asking the honor Of
an opportunity of presenting it to the Presi-
dent. To this the Secretary replied that
before answering the letter it was desira-
bic to be further informed whether Mr.
Parker had authority from the Govern
ment of Great Britain and Ireland for the
purpose referred to, and whether bis mis-.
zion had been made known to the diplo.
matte agent Of that Government near the
Government Of the United States. Mr..
Parker replied BY saying that the address
he had the honor Of bringing to this ooun-
try, containing the signatures of SOME
$4,000 Of his countrymen from the peer
TO the artisan, was not from the Govern
ment OF Great Britain, nor from any DO
litlcal party. 1t was simply an expression
OF the earnest desire of Great Britain to
see peace restored again to this continent.
The correspondence closed by note from
tie Secretary of State, in which he said
the Government of the United States
could not receive the address, and that the
request for an interview with the President
was therefore declined This address has
already been published, and is signed by
many Southern sympathizers, who ask the
Government of the United States to cease
hostilites against that section of the coun-
try. The intention now is to present ths
address to Congress at the approaching
session.
