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)

1087 - L Aug. 22; ed: 3/2 - The large and increasing emigration from Great
Britain and Ireland to the United States, and the enlistment of many im-
migrants in the Union army is causing much comment and discussion in the
British parliament.
In a speech Lord Howard says that the U. S. government has recruit-
ing agents on emigrant ships; also, that Englishmen, permitted to get
drunk on arrival in this country, have entered the Union forces to their
regret. "Such outrages are not confined to foreigners, however, and we
wish that means could be taken to stop them. We have failed to discover
any case that any state or federal officer had knowingly forced an emigrant
against his will into service, and as long as good land and high wages are
more easily obtained in this country than in England, there will not be
wanting Englishmen, Irishmen and other Europeans ready to avail themselves
of the offered advantages." (13)

1658 - L. May 2; ed:4/2 - "Ten-forty" bonds are being advertised. No
more desirable investment can be made at the present time than these
bonds. The whole nation is pledged to the payment of these bonds. The
government debt is one-fourth of that of Great Britain at the close of
her great war in 1816, in proportion to the properties of the two
countries. "When the "Ten-forty" bonds are due, with our present ratio
of increase in national wealth, double our pres?nt national debt would
not be a charge of five percent on the property of the country. "We
therefore earnestly commend to all our readers this new popular loan
of which but 200 millions are to be taken. This is a patriotic way
to serve your country." (4)

1712 - L June 2; ed:2/2 - Ships built in English ports have been prow-
ling about the seas, plundering merchant vessels of friendly powers.
"Two years of successful piracy by the rebel pirates have at last
brought English merchants to their senses. They see that the effect of
a foreign war will be to transfer the carrying trade of the world to
other vessels than those of Great Britain." (13)
