mean just what they said, and not
that the conduct Of the war was to
be made a partisan question. He
concluded as follows, amid the en-
thusastic applause of the house and
the crowded galleries: II believe
this war will be energetically wag-
ed both in military sense and in
the legislation necessary to carry it
on, and ] believe the response to the
call to arms will be unanimous.
There will be no political division.
1t will come from democrats, popu-
lists, as well as republicans, and es-
pecially do | believe the reponse to
patriotism will come from every
southern state, and that the whole
Union will share the triumphant
echo of loyalty"
1t has been decided that this gov
eminent will not issue any letters of
marqu9 and reprisal, nor in any way
countenance privateering. If Spain
chooses to allow privateering she
can do so, provided the European
powers, the commerce of which
would be interferred with thereby,
do not forbid it.
A notable phase of the situation,
in Washington, is the number and
the heartiness of expressions of good
will towards Englishman. 1t has
been known, Of course, from the be-
ginning that the sentiment of Eng
land was the same as that of the L.
s., in regard to the need of putting
an end to Spanish butchery and
starvation of innocent non-combat-
ants in Cuba, and officials have
known that the English government
has stood like IA wall of granite in
front of every proposal made by the
three European governments that
are favorable to Spain as far as they
dare be to combine the European
powers for the purpose OF forcibly
interfering in behalf of Spain, or of
threatening to do so, and believed
that it was only that obstacle that
prevented an anti-Amcrican coali-
tion of European nations. These
things, together with the current
tone of the English press, have
touched a responsive chord in many
American breasts, and are causing
a great deal of talk about the proba-
biity of an alliance between the T..
:. aud Great Britain, and of the
great power that could be welded
among the nations of the world by
such an alliance. The strength OF a
team composed of Uncle Sam and
John Bull would be unquestioned,
either in pea 'e or in war.

Washington, in and out of congress,

Old Glory is flying everywhere, from
the big business houses, the resi-

they could be accepted, about half of

Jefferson's administration immense
difficulties. His ENJOYS, sent to buy
one seaport, had brough home an en-
pire. Furthermore, they had affixed
to their purchase covenants, running
with the ceded territory, that the in
habitants thereof SHOULD be incorpo-
rated i'm the United States" as soon as
possible, with all the rights of the ex-
listing states. and that the port of New
Orleans should have a temporary pref
erance over every other port in the
Union.
Jefferson was of the opinion that
to thus annex this most desirable ter
ritory would make the Constitution
waste paper" and wanted an amend
ment to legalize it. John Quincy
Adams held similar views. Senator
Tracy of Connecticut declared il UNI
constitutional to snake citizens and
states by treaty." and there was the
most strenuous objection to the favors
granted the port of New Orleans.
Nevertheless, there was a sufficient
ajority in congress, who saw the
value of the purchase, to ratify the
treaty, without regard to these objec-
tinos; and the president ,acquiesced in
their action They found power
enough in the broad constitutional
provisions for the care of territory and
property of the United States and the
general welfare" clause. As for ia
voring the port of New Orleans over
other ports in the Union, Nicholson of
Delaware said in the house: ut is in

reference to the Union" and on that
theory congress seems to have pro-
ceeded. 1T shows" said Caesar Rod
