The Daily Dispatch: January 2, 1862., [Electronic resource], General Scott's letter on the Mason-Slidell affair. (search)
General Scott's letter on the Mason-Slidell affair. The following is a copy of the letter of Gen. Scott that appeared in Europe, to which frequent allusion has been made: To ----,Esq.: My Dear Sir: You were right in doubting the declaration imputed to me, to with that the Cabinet at Washington had given orders to seize Messrs. Mason and Slidell even under a neutral flag; for I was not even aware that the government had had that point under consideration: At the time of my leaving New York it was not known that the San Jacinto had returned to the American seas; and it was generally supposed those persons had escaped to Cuba for the purpose of re-embarking in the Nashville, in pursuit of which vessel the James Adger and other cruisers had been dispatched. I think I can satisfy you in a few words that you have no serious occasion to feel concerned about our relations with England if, as her rulers profess, she has no disposition to encourage the dissensions in Amer

Independence to be Won by ourselves. Whatever may be the termination of the Slidell-Mason affair, the South has no reason to repine at the developments it has brought forth. It has enabled her to understand her position before the world better than she had done before. It has informed her of the existence of hosts of friends that she had not dreamed of. It has brought forth expressions of opinion that cannot fail to powerfully strengthen her cause in all lands; and it has elicited a wide spread contempt for and hatred of the Yankees which is as encouraging and gratifying as the discovery of friends for herself could be. We are inclined to believe that it is not the intention of Providence that we should owe our independence to any agency but our own exertions. Independence of the North would certainly lose half its value, and indeed its reality, if we should have to owe it to the interference of Great Britain in our behalf.--Our security in the future against invasion fr

sing the Government and its policy, I fear that if radical councils prevail, much moral, if not physical support, will be withdrawn from the cause of the Union. Men who have ever been unconditionally Union, can hardly bear the idea that Lovejoy, Thaddeus Stevens, Sumner, and Jim Lane are to be the rulers of the destiny of this people. As I have heretofore said, the sentiment of our people is unanimous that the President should refuse the demand, of England for a release of Slidell and Mason, and if war ensue, our State would furnish more troops for such a war than are now in the field. A Singular character--Federal distrust of Kentuckians, &c. From the Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 28th ult., we extract the following items: There is a soldier in one of the companies at Hopkinsville who never wore a hat. Acting upon the maxim of Franklin, he seems determined to keep his head cool.--He is certainly an acentric character, but he has fire in his eye and

The surrender of Messrs Mason and Slidell, A dispatch received in official quarters states that the Baltimore Sun, of December 30th, 1862 publishes Seward's communication to Hard Lyole, releasing Messrs. Mason and Slidell. The wily abolition Secretary says they are yielded to claims intrinsically just, and in conformity with American doctrines.
