Seward (search for this): article 1
War a Fixed fact ? --Speculation is very active as to what is to be the final upshot of the Trent affair. There can be little doubt that the British Government has made a demand upon Seward which he cannot and dare not comply with. If the announcement of the London Observer, a ministerial organ, be true, the demand of the British ministry is extreme and peremptory. It is, that immediate restitution of the captured Ambassadors be made, and an apology offered for the outrage. No time is allowed for explanation, or none for excuse. The persons of the prisoners are to be put again under the protection of the British flag, accompanied by proper ceremonials and apology, or Lord Lyone is to demand his passports. If half of this be true, compliance is impossible. The Yankee Government have adopted the act of Wilkes irrevocably. Their House of Representatives have passed a resolution of approbation and thanks. Their Secretary of Navy has not only approved the conduct of his

where the shoe pinches. It is not a question for the lawyers. Nor is it a question for arbitration. It is not a question of mere right or wrong. But it is a question of honor and high spirit. Will that haughty and proud English gentleman, John Bull, allow a snivelling Yankee to slap him in the face, and consent to refer the case to arbitration. There are suits at law which admit of no settlement but judicial contest to the bitter end. The case at bar is one which does not belong to the class admitting of arbitration. A flagrant insult has been inflicted; and will John Bull consent to refer it to any third person whatever to exact reparation? It is not a matter for lawyers or for arbitration; it is a case of pistols and coffee for two. If Jonathan insults John, the latter being a gentleman, it is only John who can exact the reparation demanded by the code of honor. Fifty clowns may cudgel Jonathan, and scores of lawyers propose articles of adjustment; but John's honor still

The Yankee Government have adopted the act of Wilkes irrevocably. Their House of Representatives have passed a resolution of approbation and thanks. Their Secretary of Navy has not only approved the conduct of his officer, but expressed a regret that the vessel had not been captured and brought into port as a prize. Their Secretary of State has written a letter of commendation to Wilkes; and their President has alluded, approvingly, to the act in his annual Message. Their Government has received the captured persons as prisoners, and placed them in close confinement. And lastly, the whole expression of popular sentiment at the North, through their press, and all other organs of utterance, has been in approval, in hearty and cordial commendation of the boarding and the seizure.

sts of the British flag, is rudely stopped by cannon shot in her career, boarded by force, and four of her passengers taken from her. From time immemorial have England and English vessels been a refuge for the exiled of all lands.-- Never has Great Britain permitted the right of asylum she has thus vouchsafed to be questioned or impaired. In all her treaties for the delivery of persons charged with crimes, she has jealously excluded those charged with political offences from the lists subject ther mode of adjustment has been suggested, because none could be imagined, but a reference of the matter of dispute to the arbitration of the French Emperor. Such a reference might be readily acceded to by the Yankee Government; but how can Great Britain afford to refer an insult ? There is where the shoe pinches. It is not a question for the lawyers.

"Tell us some news from England, and news from Mason and Slidell" Well, said Mr. Faulkner,) I left Mr. Masonda good health and spirits. You know he is a man of heroic mould — not easily subhead. He had an abiding conviction that no sooner would the intelligence of the outrage reach England tord Lyons, in the event of a refusal, to demand his passports — And what do we now hear? You have learned from the newspapers that the Europa has arrived, and the messenger is probably now in this country, and the result must be a restoration of Mason and Sildell, or the Federal Government will be involved in inestimable war with England. [Cheers.]--Never was government in a more critical condition. If the demands of England are compiled with, and our Ministers are surrendered, there is a fa

position was cordially approved by the State and municipal authorities. When the train arrived at the depot, about 6 o'clock, a large number of citizens, with Gov. Letcher and Mayor Mayo, were present to greet Mr. Faulkner on his return, and the Armory Band saluted him with one of our national airs. After the congratulations werned expression of sentiment upon the great events of the times. Mr. Faulkner (of whose remarks we have given a mere sketch) withdrew amid great cheering. Gov. Letcher being called upon for a speech, responded very happily. He said it gave him great pleasure, in the presence of this vast throng of his fellow-citizens, to weland closed by refferating his welcome, as the representative of the sovereignty of the State, to the distinguished gentleman who had just addressed them. The Mayor was again called out, and closed the public ceremonies with a patriotic address. Mr. Faulkner was subsequently intercourse at the residence of Governor Letcher.

Thus his fellow-citizens would perceive that he had some experience in prison life, and an opportunity of studying fortifications. But he was not yet a free man. It devolved upon the Confederate Government to say whether he should be, or not, [Voices — You shall be] Whether he should be compelled to go back to imprisonment or whether he should go free, and dedicate himself to the cause of liberty — or, as Mr. Seward expressed to the cause of "treason." He had pledged his life to the cause of the South, and was now here to seek an opportunity for its fulfilment. Mr. Faulkner then indicated his purpose to retire, and thanking his fellow-citizens for this unexpected manifestation of their friendship and sympathy, was about bidding them "good night," but this met with a most decided opposition.

The Government could well afford to give up half a dozen Elys for such a trade as this. [A voice, Orregiment of Eiys!!!] Yes, said the Governor, a regiment of such men for one like Mr. Faulkner. When he read the news from Europe, in the Northern papers, on the previous night, he agreed with John R. Edmunds, to pray devoutly that God would Lincoln backbone! If the Federal Government had the nerve to stand up to their professions, he expected to hear that New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, would be bombarded in turn. The Governor spoke a few more encouraging words to the people, and closed by refferating his welcome, as the representative of the sovereignty of the State, to the distinguished gentleman who had just addressed them.
