Seward knew how the land lay for better than Blair when he told the President, as stated in this letter, that there was no cause for apprehension, that "England was all right," and that "Lord Lyons was our friend abroad, " (that is, the friend of Lincoln, Seward, and the Yankee cause). Lord Lyons, it will be recollected, was then absent in England. Francis P. Blair has been so long withdrawn from public life that it may be necessary to remind our younger readers who he is. He was the intimate friend and biographer of General Andrew Jackson, and was sole editor for twelve years of the celebrated Globe newspaper, the organ of the Administrations of Jackson and Van Buren. He retired from the Globe in 1845, when Polk became President, having made a large fortune in the newspaper business and by his office as printer to both Houses of Congress. He is the father of Montgomery and Frank Blair.
