TEE.
LONDON, March ), 1875.
GENTLEMEN: l have the honor to re-
ceive the letter in which you convey to
me very warm and courteous invitation
TO attend the banquet which it is proposed
to hold at Lexington i'm cOmmemOration
of the attainment Of the independence Of
the United States of America.
The circumstances OF the war which
yielded that result. the principles it illus
trates, and the remarkable powers and
characters of the principal men who took
part. whether as soldiers or civilians. in
tie struggle. have always invested it with
peculiar interest in my eyes quite indie
pendent of the intimate concern of this
country in the events themselves. On ac-
count of these features that war and its
accOmpaniments seemed to me to cOnsti-
tute one Of the most Instructive chapters
Of modern history. and have repeatedly
recommended them to younger men as
subjects of especial study. With these
views need not say how far l am from
regarding the approaching celebration
with indifference.
1t is entirely beyond nv power to cross
the sea even with the present admirable
communications for the purpose of attend
me. even INDEPENDENTLY of INV attendance
in Parliament. one of very urgent Occ,lpa-
tions which | am not at liberty to put
aside but 1 earnestly hope, and cannot
doubt. that the celebration will be worthy
of the occasion.
In a retrospective view of the eventfui
period. my countrymen can now cOnteni-
plate its incidents with impartiality. do
not think they should severely blame their
ancestors. whose struggle to maintain the
unity Of the British Empire is one that

We can hardly be expected to rate very

wards acceleratinr. if not. indeed, towards
determining. the issue Of the war. Yet.

No maddening thirst for blood had they,

They loved not strife, they dreaded pain,
They saw not what Ia us ia plain,
That God would make man'- wrath his praise.
No seers We're they, but simple men;
Its vast results the future hid
The meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then.
Swift AS the summons came they left

The half ground corn grist in the mill,
The spade in earth the x in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call:
They scarcely asked the reason why;

And death was not the worst Of all.
Of man for man the sacrifice.
Cnstained by blOod, save theirs. they gave:
