affront, by the highest possible amount of
pecuniary damage. His extravagance de-
feats itself II is the extravagauce Of rheto-
rician, not of statesman. 1t may have the
effect Of stimulating popular passions, but it
cannot conduce TO the settlement of any real
claims. 1t comes too late, we should hope,
TO do the mischief which it seemed to have
been intended to do. England had offered
concessions, large enough to indicate her
willingness to pay for any amount Of dam
age which her negligence or want of fore
sight had inflicted upon the people of Ameri-
ca. Her advances In this direction have been
met by further most fanciful and most enor-
nous demands. OF course, we must draw a
distinction between what Is said by an ac-
complished orator In the Senate, and what
may hereafter be done by q responsible Gov
ernment. For the present, we imagine, the
difference between the two nations will be
allowed to drop out of sight. But there it
will remain, until the returning good sense
of American statesmen shall finally dispose
of II by diplomatic negotiation, or until 1t
shall be revived at some future opportunity,
for the purpose of national retaliation. After
all that has passed, we shall still cherish the
hope that the relations of the two powers.
one to another, and the intimate sympathies,
which bind together the two peoples, viii
remain substantially unchanged; and that,
as years roll on, the disposition of the pub
lie, on both sides Of the Atlantic, will be-
come proportionately stronger, TO bury mat
ters of dispute between them, and to culti-
vate with heartier goodwill, both the senti-
ment and the policy Of international policy.
