When we come 10 the more interesting para

faint and Subducd echo OF Mr.. Seward : letter

phrascology, are much the same: and II Con-
grc>s does not complain OF being served with

that once more we listen to the complaints
with which we are 50 familiar. 1t would be
well for lis all if American statesmen had never
committed any worse wrong against Eng
land than that of being tedious. And 1t must
be remembered that though we have heard all
This before, Congress has had no Official
knowledge Of all our unkindncSS and pre-
cipitancy and Of the unprecedented nature
Of the act which admitted the Contederatcs
TO hrlligcrcnt rights. It was therefore in
evilable that the message OF the President
should, 10 some extent reproduce the unplea-
SAINT topics already dwclt upon III the dis
patches Of the Secretary Of State. But, 10 DO
him justice, Mr.. Johnson studiouSly avoids all
that could provoke needless irritation between
the two countries. He could not say less than
he has done for Mr. Seward has already COM
united himself 10 the same line but he might
have awaited himself OF the example OF more
than one Of his predecessors by saying great
deal more. BunkuIn, however, Tor once, does
