idence and hope; and there is a general feeling that the war is to be pushed with irresistible vigor. Do not suppose me unconscious of the enormous difficulties which under the most favorable circumstances we must encounter. The whole social system of the South must be reorganized. No wisdom and no courage can be too great for this enterprise. I do not consent yet to renounce the good — will of England. Surely the friend of Garibaldi, the critic of Neapolitan tyranny, and the patron of Italian unity may find an occasion for these sentiments on this side of the Atlantic. With me nothing is clearer than this: as no man stands in the way of another, so no nation stands in the way of another. Therefore I share no jealousy of any other power. Let all thrive and prosper. England will be greater if our Union is preserved than if it is destroyed. But it will not be destroyed. The late elections will doubtless encourage the rebellion; but they have also encouraged the Administra

Longfellow was with me, and we talked of your father and of you. . . . You have now another minister at Rome, General Rufus King, of Wisconsin, 1814-1876.—a pleasing gentleman, with whom I think you will mingle more cordially than with any other on the list. I counselled against any minister in Rome; For the sake of Italian unity, Sumner wished to have diplomatic relations with the Vatican discontinued, and on that view, at a later date, had the appropriation for the mission omitted. but if one was to be appointed I declared you to be able to do us the most good. But Massachusetts has already more than her quota according to the proportions in which offices are distributed. . . . This will be a free country. Be its sculptor.

ssurance, given by me in my committee, that Congress was kept still, and I have let M. Drouyn de l'huys know this. I agree with you about our neutrality statutes. I think that in my last I let you know something of what passed on that head. Mr. Bemis is preparing an elaborate article on our statutes and Mr. Banks's madness. Meanwhile peace seems to be prevailing in Europe. I thank God for this; but I am also grateful for the changes brought by the war. I am for German unity, as well as Italian unity; indeed, I see little chance of permanent peace until these nations are established in their natural relations. Austria is an abnormal, unreal nation, and ought to cease. I follow your excitements in England, and look forward to the next session of Parliament as of great importance. New York is the only State where we have anxiety as to the elections. It remains to be seen what Seward and Weed can accomplish. To George Bancroft, November 8:— Just as I am leaving Newport

Appropriately in this connection may be given his letter to Lieber, May 7, 1869— At the beginning of Mr. Lincoln's Administration I counselled earnestly against a mission to Rome, but in vain. Seward wished it as a preserve for one of his friends. At last, two years ago, I was able to stop this appropriat
