England's right to- recognize bellige-
rents. John Stuart Mill sdid, ",He
regarded the present:condition of the
Question as the result of n national eel
mistake. The. real question: was
whether England was bound to pre-
vent such EXPEDITIONS as that of the
Alabama. He denied that the United
States Government olainied or could
claim that the recognition Of the
South was q %iolatioh of law but
only that it was an .nnfriendly, rash
and unprecedented act. The Anne
rican.. Government only pressed the
point for the purpose of showing
that, butfor the unfriehdly action of
England, the Alabama 'depredations
would not have occurred" Mr..
Gladstone inferred from the closing
sentences OF Lord Stanley, that COM
munications between the two Go
vernntents had not closed, and that
friendly feelings between, the United
States and, England would be pre-
served, He concluded by saying, if
his inference was correct, the whole
country would support Lofd Stanley
in final and honorable settlement of
the case. t',.' T.

"for the purpose Of more fully supply
ing the wants of the public, and i'm
order 10 prevent unscrupuious dealers
from paiming of inferior and WORTH
less goods ms the Morton Gold Pens, 4
shall hereafter sell no goods at whoie-
sale except only 10 du4y appointed and
authorized Agents." cite. To this plan
j have since strictly adhered.
In accepting Agents, great care has been
exercised to appoint those who, by long
continued fair dealing, have acquired a
reputation for honesty, responsibility, and
probity-men in whose word the public
have learned to place confidence. These
Agents have agreed to keep full assort-
ment of my pens, and to sell them at my
published prices. Thus the public are sup
piled by them with just such pens as they
want, either as to writing or price, and get
a full equivalent for the money paid
No agent is appointed to travel from
place to place, or canvass the country,
so that all who want a Morton Gold Pen
must get it from the Local Agent or from
headquarters.
None need apply for the Agency except
in conformity to the above, the liberal dis
count 4" To Clubs" " being sufficient induce
