934 - L. Jan. 27; ed:2/2 - The people will read with gratification
Seward's dispatches to Adams, our minister at London, touching our rela-
tions with England. Their calm, firm, and decided tone and the grave
warnings which they convey to the English government express the senti-
ments of the American people. Seward says that the United States shall
protect itself against armed cruisers from Great Britain, and insist
upon indemnities for injuries which expeditions have committed, and the
navy of the United States shall receive instructions to pursue enemies.
We feel that in these extracts there is a calm, earnest, dignified warm-
ing, which is more impressive than empty vaporings. (6)

935 - L. Feb. 22; ed:2/3 - Secretary Seward makes a claim for damages
done to our commerce by the ship ALABAMA in its piratical voyages on
the high seas. The London TIMES wrote a bullying editorial on this
subject saying Seward has to prove the extent of damage. It claims
England cannot be made liable for American property losses of millions.
"England may as well understand now that these claims are to be
settled. The American people will approve of these demands." (4)

Index terms:

ALABAMA (ship); England; London TIMES; Seward, William H.

936 - L. Mar. 3; ed: 2/1 - Seward's note of July 11, 1863 to Adams has
been the subject of recent discussion in parliament and is likely to be
of considerable importance. Seward warns England in his letter that
"The United States will protect itself and its commerce against armed
cruisers if they have to enter British ports to do it."
"We believe, however, that the good sense of the rulers of England
will not allow the people to be twitted into a War with the United
States." (15)

England; Seward, William H.

939 - L Oct. 19; ed: 2/1 - No man who is conversant with the present atti-
tude of the various parties in England can doubt that all who wish the
Republic ill, all who hate to see Democratic institutions provirg their
stability in such a crisis as this, all who wish to see slavery re-
established, are in favor of the election of McClellan. On the other
hard, all the liberal thinkers of Europe, men who hate slavery and wish
to see republicanism live forever, are anxious for the re-election of
Lincoln. -
"Are not these facts suſficient to convince every man that his duty is
not to vote as the enemies of his country and the haters of freedom de-
sire him to vote?" (4)

Index terms:

England; Europe; McClellan, George B.
