suddenly aud foreg0 the advantage they might
have had in bringing the commissioners TO Washington,
and there playing fast and loose with them for month
while they dused properly con,rved rnuors every day.
A. to those other vain imagnaons too concerning the
gssble action OF European Powers, Il happens that
about the very time We have the plain, RATIONAL
inevitable answer in the shape OF an explicit article ~
the London TGss telling us distinctly that the ab1ition
of slavery would be bride 10 Europe; and that no
Power Ia that quarter Of tho world world take us at any
States. Thus have got rid Of great Of ader

feels what he ought 10 have felt all aongthat our
real strength and security consists In our own native
strength and resolution; that shall have friends In

their power and means Of every SORT and by fun coope
ration and confidence between themselves Against an In

II ever nation had canse that could stir It's blood and
kndle its soul that have this day. While our enemcs
deliberately the fell intention 70 destroy US they u
the moment run riot in tho widest ourages ana
insults. Seward invites dcputation OF our chief
statesmen 70 meet him, In order that all the
world might him administer TO them KICK
And ut the instant when commissioners are received

70 them the report of that scene In tie Yankee Congress
where members were leaping with Joy embracing one
ano her falling into Mysteries and dam ing, like French
teTorsts in caradgu campie for JOY at having al
