y with England. The speech met with a reception of an unexpected kind in England. The London press is able, or was then able, to throw the English people into a frenzy,—having a power in this respect which does not belong to metropolitan journals in this country; and it used effectively its opportunity at this time. It did not publish the speech,—as is the habit of American journals with foreign matter affecting the United States,—but made it the topic of inflammatory harangues. G. W. Smaller reviewed in the New York Tribune, May 12, 1869, the notices of Sumner's speech which appeared in the London journals. The Spectator, always friendly to the United States in the Civil War, stated its objections to the speech in a fair and temperate way. Its chief points were that expressions of regret from the British government could not be expected, and that the senator had confounded legal considerations of the first importance with totally distinct moral considerations.
