The Daily Dispatch: July 3, 1862., [Electronic resource], British war steamer in Charleston Harbor. (search)
o characterized it a year ago. The matter of the Racer appears to us unnecessary, while it opens an avenue of easy and possible deleterious information with the enemy off our harbor. The Confederate States have never been really so weak as to have to ask favors, cap in hand, of the Courts of Europe, as they have done. Our Commissioners should, we think, long since have been withdrawn, until it shall be signified that their official presence is desired, and then we should send Ministers Plenipotentiary. For our part, we recognize no proper ground, now or heretofore, for the Confederate States submitting to be put in an equivocal position by foreign nations. Strong facts will bring us foreign recognition and the lifting of the blockade. They will do it without our acquiescence in either snubbing in Europe, or slights here. Voluntary humiliation, upon whatever pretext of alleged convenience or supposed temporary benefit to ourselves, is, we judge, both unnecessary and unwise.
