humbly submit to chastisement, and
| has all but committed itself by the
message addressed to such nation as
England, VIII ch could but answer the
challenge uttered by America. 1t
remembers the plain facts of war, and
cannot be humbug9ed into the belief
that the bulk of the English people
| approved of the subjugation of the
\ South. Such assertions make Amerl-
cans believe that England, by telling
| lies, wishes to escape a thrashIng. w
were never guilty Of meanness IN
denying the sympathies we INDUCED, /,
! in order to escape the displeasure OF
the successful party. Of the educated
classes who sympathized with the
| South are a nation In which the
masses are only followers.
The Times of to-day, In view OF the
arrival of Mr.. Motley, the newly ap-
pointed American Minister, concludes
that Motley will make no fresh over
lures on the Alabama claims, as no
new proposals have been offered to
England. The dead lock on the
question would excite no apprehen
sion, but for the fact that the Ameri-
cans display no disposition to divide
the material from the sentimental
grievances. 1t says that whatever
wrong may have happened owing to
the neutrality proclamation of the
Queen, was purely accidental, and
asserts resOlutely that in order to main
tain the claims arising from the Ala
bama depredations, as identical with all
wrongly captures, it cannot permit
to be erased from the category the
fact that such demands are made on
the ground that an unfriendly spirit
preceded the escape of the depredatOr.
The demand for atonement OF the
unfriendliness is of another chaTac
ter, and can be resisted on the ground
that, whatever direction British sym
pathies took, the Government cannot
be held accountable. On such point
a tribunal will certainly separate one
from the other. Let no misdirection
of sympathy, but settled reflection
and cool communings of conscience,
settle the question; and on both sides
let the alleged injuries be measured
and appraised by proper tribunals.
That course may Open a way for a
settlement Of difficulties. and we shall
be rejoiced to find that the Americans
have discovered 1T.
