he, we We're asked to approve of the
conduct Of the American admiral, at
the, very time when the House was
considering a resolution aimed at a
minister designed to pervert history
in order to blacken the character of a
public official for doing his duty on a
foreign shore. On that occasion not a
gun was fired. not d drop of blood was
shed; yet in the other case, we
are asked to approve of the
action of an American officer who
began operations by firing across the
bows Of an insUrgent ship, following
with shell into the stern post, fol-
siowed by a threat of a broadside. -
