While recognizing the good feeling Of
the American public the Spectator resents
the Indifference. indeed Callousness
toward Great Britain and her case shown
by the Government Of the United states"
There was reason to expect another at

believed to have been influenced in the

men were as much at fault as American
statesmen are now. but war was pre-
vented by Queen Victoria and President
Lincoln. The Spectator adds:
