OMe4 bf the captor, but be carried More a
egal tribunal, where a regular trio! may be
tiftd, tod *here the captor himself is liable to
daaage for an abuse of his power. Can it be
raaaooablc then, or jost, that a belligerent
commander who is thus restricted, and thus
responflble in a case of mere property of triv
ial amount, should be permitted, without ref
erence to auy tribunal whatever, to examine
the crew of a neutral vessel, to decide the im
portant question of their respective allegiances,
and to carry that decision into execution by
forcing every iodividnal he may choose into a
aervice nbborreat to bis feelings, rutting him
off from bis most tender connections, exposing
bis mind and Ins person to the most humiliat
ing discipline, and his life to the greatest dan
ger ? 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."

" 4To be, or not to he— hat is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
I The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
| Aud opposing, end them.''
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.'' As I have opened a Bindery on m v own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
i binding to ntc. they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t satisfy the public I wasthe '• best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
! testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
j evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
busiuess, i have resumed business here on ray own ac
count, as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawrulcalling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
