Reason, justice, and humanity unite in protesting sgainst so extravagant a proceed ing." If I decide Ibia case ia favor of my own Government, I must disavow its most cherish ed principles, and reverse and forever abandon Ita essential policy. The country caunot af ford the sacrifice. If I maintain those princi ples and adhere to that policy, I must sorren tier the case itself. It will be seen, therefore, that this Government could not deny the jus tice of the claim presented to us in this respect upon its merits. We ore asked to do to the British nation just what we bare always in •isted all nations ought to do to us. The claim of tbe British Government is not made in a discourteous manner. This Govern ment, since its first organization, lias ncrer us ed more guarded language in a similar case. In coming to my conclusion I have not for gotten that, if the safety of this Union requir ed the detention of tbe captured perstns, it would be the right and duty of this Govern ment to detain them. But the < ffeetual check and waiting proportions of the existing insur rection, as well as the comparative unimpor tance of the captured persous themselves,when di-passionately weighed, hapily forbid trie from resorting to that defence. Nor am I unaware that American citizens are not in any case to be unnecessarily surren dered for any Jparpose into the keeping of a foreign State. Only the captured persons, however, or others who are interested in them conld justly raise a question on that ground Nor have I been tempted at all by sugges tions that cases might be found in history where Great Britain refused to yield to other rations, and even to ourselves, claims like that which is uow before us. Those cases occurred when Great Britain, as well as the United States, was the home of generations, which with all their peculiar interests and passions, have passed away. She could ia no way so effectually disavow any such injury as we think ahe does by assuming now as her own the ground upon which we theu stood. It would tell little for our own claims to the character of a jnst and magnanimous people if we should so far consent to be guided by the law of retal iation as to lift up bnried injuries from their graves to oppose against what national con science compel us to regard as a claim intrin sically right. Putting behind me ail suggest ions of this kind, I prefer to express my satisfaction that, by the adjustment of the present case upon principles coutestedly American, and yet, as I trust, mutually satisfactory to both of the na tions concerned, a question is finally and right ly settled between them, which, heretofore ex hausting not only ail forms of peaceful discus aion, but also the arbitrament of war itself, for more than half a century ailenated the two countries from each other, and prcplexed with tears and apprehensions all other nations. The four persons in question are now held in military custody at Fort Warren, in the State of Massachusetts. They will be cheer fully liberated. Your Lordship will please in dicate a time and place for receiving them. I avail myself of this occasion to offer your Lordship a renewed cst-urance of my very high consideration. WM. 11. SEWARD.

""5 OVR FARE MISS ' —A young lady from the rural districts of lately visit ed Chicago with her beau. Getting into a city railroad car for the first time, she took a seat, wliiie the lover planted himself on the platfi rra with the driver. I'retty soon the conductor began to collect fare, and approaching the rus tic maiden, he said : " Your fare, miss ?'' The Hoosier rosebud allowed a delicate pink to manifest itseif on her cheeks, and looked down in soft confusion. The conductor was rather astouished at this, hut ventured to re mark once more : " Your fare, miss ?" This time the pink deepened to carnation, • s the rustic beauty replied : "\\ ell, if I'm good lookin,' you bad'nt ought ter say it out loud afore folks 1" The passengers in the car roard with laughter, sod the lover coming in to see what was go ing on, at once settled the faro. LOVE. —The following exquisite passage, we find iu Tupper's " Crock of Gold." " Love is the weapon which Omnipotence reserves to conquer rebel meu when all else had failed. Reason he parries; fear he an swered blow to blow; but love, the sun against whose melting beams winter cannot stand, that soft subduing slnober which wrestles down the ciant, there is not one bnmau crea ture in a million, not a thousand men in all earth's large quiutillion, whose clay heart is hardened against lore."

THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public.''
