The article says that at the time Of the
Trent affair England had a long list Of out
RACES to be accounted for. 1t had been
cheated in the Ashburton treaty with the
States, and claimed as their own territory
what they had in their possession, the
clearest proof that it belonged to the United
States. and as if to cap this outrage the
island OF San Suan, admitted to be ours up
TO the moment Of its occupation by the
American force, was taken and kept in mil

presented such an opportunity as could
never be expected to occur again for right ,

benefited the whole world. Had we struck /,
them, as Lord Palmerston was anxious we :
should do, the Southern States would have J
achieved their independence and become !
to us faithful allies as well as our best Gus
