Sir James Anderson, in his remarks,
all honor in the success of
5he cable enterprise, which he thought
wholly due to the officers of the vessels
which had just departed, The impOr-
DOrtance of the ocean telegraph was
alluded to, and Sir James Anderson
1ofr a 90 90 faNA
han any other man living, was owing
he success Of the Atlantic cable. he
lad heard that Mr.. Field had opposed
he landing Of the French cable, and
le would think it strange If he did
rot. That gentleman is largely inter |
,sted in the Atlantic cable, and it is
Dut natural that he should defend his |
interests so far as hOnOrBble opposition |
,Oes. They should not feel offended /
It It, for under like circumstances !
hey would do the same thing.
He had also heard, that other oppO-
itiOn had been made to the landing |
# the cable, which might also be due 1
o Mr.. Field and his colleagues, but
le had no fear that any influence
Ould induce the American people to /
ct unjustly, and allow millions Of
money to be spent in laying a cable
without having fair play.
