The Daily Dispatch: October 24, 1863., [Electronic resource], Sigel on the Russian alliance. (search)
Sigel on the Russian alliance.
--Gen. Sigel made a speech at Wheeling, Va., last week.
A report of it says:
He took the ground that the fever through the country, now prevailing, for an alliance with Russia, was a new danger, and also a danger indeed.
It would be a diplomatic alliance — not one of principle, and it would lose us moral support and sympathy from the only friends we had in Europe.
The liberty-loving masses of Europe — of England, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, hate Russia.
Besides, such an alliance would bring us no strength.
What avail is Russia?
She seeks us for her own diplomatic, selfish purposes
