141 - L June 16; ed: 2/1 - Secretary Seward told the Senate that the
line projected by Collins, from the Pacific telegraph to the Amoor River,
with its anticipated extension by the Russian government to Irkutsk, º
would be the one link now wanted to supply direct and unbroken telegraph
communication from Cape Race in Newfoundland, on the Eastern coast of
America, across the Eastern and Western continents and the Pacific Ocean,
to Cape Clear in Ireland, the westermost projection of Europe. -
A submarine cable laid between Cape Clear and Cape Race will complete
a telegraphic circuit around the world between the parallels of 42 degrees
and 65 degrees north latitude. (11)

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)

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)

1082 - L Apr. 26; ed:2/1 - The scarcity of labor has created a necessity
for skilled artisans. Mr. Seward proposes an increase in the number of
vessels for conveying immigrants, with the adoption of a system enabling
immigrants to make the passage by use of credit, under obligation to repay
costs out of early avails of their labor, after arriving.
"Not only now but after the War, the broad acres of the West and
South will invite hundreds of thousands of skilled artisans of Europe.
Let Congress act wisely and immediately." (13)

2258 - L. Jan. 6; ed: 2/1 - "The American people have a decided weakness
for prophecy. This weakness has been alarmingly developed since the
beginning of the war. We have, so far as we know, no prominent public
man who has not indulged in vaticinations. Mr. Seward is a remarkable
example. We have styled it a 'weakness for prophecy"; certainly there
are no utterances of Mr. Seward's so weak as his sixty-day and ninety-
day prognostications of thirty months ago.
"No doubt the Confederacy has received some staggering blows in the
campaign just closed, but that there is any evidence that its strength
and vigor are exhausted, we deny.
"We are confident that the war can be ended in one more campaign, but
not by starvation, not by a degenerated currency, not by an "amnesty," -
but by the armies of Meade and Foster, Grant and Banks. We should not be
thus pointed in our strictures, did we not see danger to the Republic in
the delusive prophecies just now so common. There is no other way but to
cease prognosticating; fill the regiments and hurl them once more upon
the foe." (18)
