DANIELS GREAT SPEECH.
The inadequate reports printed of Sena-
tor Daniei's speech in the Senate failed
entirely 10 give an idea OF the clOquence
and historical knowledge displayed by
Virginia s representative.
The speech was an admirable one In
every sense of the word, but Chiefly be-
cause Mr.. Daniel, in discussing the dis
pute between this country and Great
Britain, assumed a tone OF moderation
to be commended. lie spoke, however,
from the standpoint OF one who approves
the Davis resolution, and who would
doubtless vote for lbs passage. However,
Senator Daniel did not attempt 10 create
the impression that the country is spoil
ing for fight, as some of the "Jingoes
i'm the Senate have done but assumed
merely that the United States cannot
permit the oppression OF an American re-
public by Great Britain. But 10 was
more the Senator's manner of uttcring
his sentiments than the actual sentiments
themselves which 20 charmed ana kept
the members and the public in tine gall
leries attentive listeners during hls Whoie
discourse.
ENGLISH INJUSTICE.
In speaking of the injustice with which
England would treat the little South
American republic if She should de-
termine 10 force upon Venezuela the ac-
ceptance OF boundary line, Jusuued

From this point Senator Daniel pro-
