Secretary Seward in his cores
pondcncc with the British govern
mcnt upon questions growing out
of the Alabama claims. asserts
that the English proclamation If
neutrality, and not slavery, # course
was the cause Of the civil war in
America. Yet on the 4th day Of
May 1861. nine days before that
government issued its proclamation,
Seward wrote to Dayton, the Amer
jean Minister in Paris. "thc insur-
gents have instituted revolution
with open, fragrant. deadly war;
and that ''the United, States have
accepted this war Is an inevitable
necessity" Still we hear many
men contending that Seward possess
es Statesmanship. Such llundcrs
we're never before committed by any
Secretary Of State in this country.
On the 4th Of May no government
of the world had used the word "ncu-

Would such profound statesman
as Wm. L. Marcy have per-
mittcd 30 hateful word as "ncu.

Since then tho correspondence Of
Grant with the President has been
given to the public, and whatever
the friends of Grant may say Oft,
there is no denying or avoiding the
extent Of the injury to him as can
didate Of the party in consequence.
Tho question of veracity is cvidcnt-
~ with the President, for he is sup
ported in his statements by largo
portion of his cabinet, while Grant s
stands alone. We predict that the
party will be compelled to drop him

TO those honestly insured that they should not
