Senator Thurman ldemocrap, OF Oho, delivered
speech in Cincinnati the 10th inst. In response to
an invitation. Iu the course OF his remarks he had
the following 10 say in regard to our
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
A Few words about our foreign relations. There
are but lew persons, II any, think, who will as
sert thai these have been successfully managed by
the administration. On the contrary there seems
10 be very decided opinion in the country that In
this respect III least, the administration is failure.
And the facts IL appears to me, July warrant this
conviction. SHORTLY before the Inauguration OF
Genera Grant. treaty-colnmonly called the John
soii-Clarendon treaty was negotiated with Great
Britain for the settlement OF our claims upon that
coLn;ry, and especially our claim to indemnity tor
the injury done 10 our commerce by the Confederate
steamer Alabama. Against the ratification OI this
treaty ile whole weight OF the present adminstra-
ton was thrown, and 1t was almost contemptuOusly
Sion O1s69 by order of the Senate the injunction
OF secresy upon It's consideration was so far re-
moved as to permit Gle publication OF Mr.. sum-
ners elaborate speech against 1t, and the speech
was accordingly published. In that speech Mr. |
Sumner made great demands upon Great Britain.
