They do not seem to be the same men, intellectually and morally, any more than politically. Not a single statesman is left within their whole borders. Instead of the Clintons, Spencers, Grosvenor, Livingston, Van Nesses, and Van Renselaers, of New York, there is that miserable scrub, Seward, combining a Gilbert Glossin and Oily Gammon, an educated blackguard — of all blackguards, the most disgusting — a fellow without birth, reeding, or any of the ideas or feelings of a gentleman, and whose whole career has never exhibited one single example of sagacious and comprehensive statesmanship.

Lord Lyons was desired to speak in this sense to Mr. Seward, who, it was hoped, would disavow the illegal project. Now, however, that the project seems to have been carried into effect at Charleston, Lord Lyons will be instructed to make a further representation to Mr. Seward, with a view to prevenMr. Seward, with a view to prevent similar acts of destruction in other ports.
