municated to me in note dated
the tirsl inst. the text of a resolution Of
the American House of Representatives,,
dated the 9Th, ID whic:. tho House ex-
pressed its regret Mt the death OF Dr.
Edward I.asker. Every recognition of
PERSONAL qualities which a German re-
oeives in "a foreign country, cannot but
be pleasing to our national feelings, es-
pecially when emanating from such an
important body ~ the American House
Of representatives. Ishould, therefore,
have gratefully received Sargents com
munication, aud should have asked His
Majesty, the Emperor, to empower me
to present it to the Reiohstag, If the res
olution of the 9TH of January did not vi
the same time contain an opinion on the
direction and effects of the political
action of Representative Lasker, which
10 opposed to my convictions. In the
resolution 1t is snid. lii relation To the
deceased, that his firm ard constant
exposition of free and liberal
ideas, had materially advanced
the social, political aud economic oondi-
ton of his people. From my knowledge
Of the course which the political and
ssOnOmic development OF the German
people has taken, cannot regard THIS
opinion as one in accordance with the
facts | have witnessed. | would no
venture to oppose my Judgment To that
o. an illnstrious assembly like the
House of Representatives of the United
States If | had not gained, during an
solve participation i'll German politics
ior more than thirty years, an eXperl
ence which encourages me tn attach
weight to my opinion. | am also un-
willing 80 ask HIS Majesty the Emperor
ior the necessary authority to commu-
ncate the resolutions Of the House of
