interested us others, in oil that effects the
welfare Of his country.
In conversation with such Of my colleagues
or members Of the Government here rs were
interested in our politics, l have uniformly
stated that the conflict Of opinions now pre-
vailing in the United States, was inevitable
in free country, that such discussions were
the very evidence Of our freedom, and Of our
capacity to govern ourselves that to silence
discussion belonged to despots, not to Re-
publican Government like ours, and that /
had entire faith that the American people
would ultimately settle all disputed questions
with justice.
Ihave always been cautious, however, in
such considerations, TO avoid any expressions
Of disrespect towards the President and his
Cabinet. l have uniformly stated that in
our own country the people were not only
theoretically, but practically, sovereign, and
that when great political questions were TO
be solved, appeal was made to the ballot
box. have steadily expressed tho opinion
that the President and Congress would be
reconciled after the people should have pro-
nounced It's solemn verdict, and have
added that all parties In the United States,
as believed, honestly desired and required
the re-establishment OF the Union, however
they might differ as to the wisest means OF
securing II.
This Is the way in which l have been in
the habit Of speaking, officially or semi-ofh.
cially, and this is my reply 70 the charges
contained in your letter, so far as they re.
gard, in any way, the President Of the United
States.
That Il despise American democracy, and
loudly proclaim that an English gentleman
is the model Of human perfection" is so pitiful
fabrication that blush while l denounce it
Any one personally acquainted with me, OF
who has taken the trouble to read my
writings, whether official or historical, knows
that a more fervept believer in American
Democracy than am does not exist in the
world. Ny expressions Of reverence for the
American people during these FIVE heroic
years have erred, If at all, on the side OF en-
thusiasm, and have often seemed to the scep
tical somewhat extravagant
l scorn to dwell longer on the contemptibl'
charge.
That have called "Mr. Seward hopelessiy
degraded" is a vile calumny, and II wound
me deeply that you could listen, for mo
, ment to such falsehood.
. In conclusion, have only to. add that
beg herewith, respectfully to resign my pos
as United States Minister at Vienna.

Sir: A citizen Of the United States has
addressed q letter to the President from
Paris, in which he represents that he had
Travelled extensively in Europe during the
last year, in the course Of which he had occa-
sion to see something Of our Ministers and
Consuls in various countries; that most Of
them whom he met were bitterly hostile to
the President and his Administration, and
expressed that hostility in so.open q manner
as to astonish Americans, and to leave a very
bad impression on Europeans. He adds that
you do not pretend to conceal your dis
gust" as he says you style ii, at the Presi-
dents whole conduct; that you despise Amer
ican democracy, and loudly proclaim that an
English gentleman is the model Of human
perfection; that the President has deserted
bis pledges and principles in common with
Mr.. Seward, who you say is hopelessly de.
graded.
