Disetisinon of air. stunner's speech by

. /de of Realization.
•:t : ,(From the LouSoo Times, April 3).3
, •lAtliust we haveaffull though perhaps
nbt final statement of the Alabair.aclais
in the elaborate speech of Mr. Cheri s
Sumner to the United States Senat .
Compared with any former estimate that
has been made by Mr. Seward or Mr.
Adams, that of Mr. Sumner is portentous
in its exorbitance,' but we cannot be sure
that it is final, since Mr. Sumner himself
• warns 'us that such demands have a ten
dency to increase, like the price of the'
Sibylline volumes. * * * `, It is impoi-
Sible to read this remarkable speech—fer
remarkable it is, in sPite.of its many in
*consistencies—without a sense of diem).
pointment. The concluding paragraphs
express sentiments which are sure to find
an'echo in England, and its prevailing
tone is rather that of passionate remo -
strance than of menace, yet it betraysa t
,one-sided partizanship which is truly ; -
r
ihatztable in the representative bf a great
40tIn ry. One example ,witi suffice.t
m
a-word.is said, frobeginning to end, f
the part _played by France during the el
end,
• war. , - abough France acted with G rea t
"Mita% throughout, - and 'though •it• is a
'tatter of history that the Emperor w ould
bairF reeognized the independence .of e
Confederation had not our Governm t
o,pposed it, Mr. Sumner argues as if
Great Britain were the only foreign Pow
er in the world, and implacably hostile
Mint own country. It is not too much
• to say' that at one moment the fate of the
American Union depended on the voice
•of England, whose sword, - had it really
been thrown into the scale, as Mr. Bum
mer complains, - together with that of
France, weuld assuredly have decided
the . contest. That such intervention
would have been indefensible, we have
never ceased to declare ; but does it not
tatew an unfairness of mind bordering on
infatuation to leave this consideration
wholly out of account ? Upon Mr. Sum
ner's principle, all this anti-English feel:
, Ing, which finds vent, too, in the encour
..agessent of Fenianism, might be proved
'is !isigrraeation of damage against he
United States in the event of arbitrar n.
Against any such principle we pro f t
' •Oncelbr all, not only as benea th the g
..nitY,Ofgreat nations,but as inevit abl y
i ,
'barren of any practi cal result. Let atone
. anent be made for the insulting language
of individuals, whether in. England or
America, by the retrospective verdict of
public opinion, and the cultivation of
mutual respect in private relations. Na
tions.as such can only deal with overt
acts, and overt acts are the only posmble
subjects of pecuniary compensation.
(From the Can* News, Mayl.3
* * * In round numbers we may
reckon that the Alabama claims, accord
ing to Mr. Sumner's present estimate,'
- amount to nearly $500,000,000; and Mr. '
Sumner assures us that "the attempt to
close this international debate without a
complete settlement is little, short of
puerile." But it is surely far worse than ;
puerile to carry on a great international
debate with such arguments as these. In
what Court of taw could Mr. Sumner get
even a hearing for claims which rest on
the 'assumption of profita - that - inight have
been made ? Mr. Sumner has ably stated
the American side of the argument on the
.
questions which are allowed to be open
between us. He has given expression to
- - - that - sore feeling which van neither be mat
ter of argument nor arbitration. But his
• figured simply remind us of more vulgar
and common place compensation claims.
What would satisfy him? Shall we take
the five-twenties and pay the interest on
Them ? Shall we take one-half the debt
and add it to our own ? Even then we
must add to it an humble apology. Mr.
Sumner not only presents a bill of five
hundred millions, but demands that we
ehou'd pay it on our knees.
- - But such discussions as these are mere
waste of tithe. It is one misfortune of the
- . reopening of this question that it remit*
the whole dispute to rhetorical discussion
by - irresponsible persons. Mr. Sumner
may . „represent an influential American
opinion on. this subject, or he may not;
but -he does not - represent the American
Government. ,We have 'referred to his
- • speech.merely as, Jetting ns know what a
great rhetorician could-make of the argu
ment in audience of the:American peo
phu Such discussions can, however,
have but one result. They retard the set
llement instead of - adocncing it. They
surround a business question with all the
-complications and distractions of excited
- feeling. What we want to settle is how
far we are responsible for certain injuries
inflicted on - American commerce, and
when that is settled we will pay the bill. -

every One 'who knovis hopy- abilous the
British Government in the main was dnr
lug the war to deal fairly and justly by
the United States.. Blunders there may
have been, and tbere were,
but consider
ing how the paSsions .of • mankind were
aroused by that vast conflict of the pow
ers of darknessi and light, the British
Government kepta'course remarkably
floe from ' any exhibitions of unfriendly
feeling toward the United States. *liirance,
the old ally and sworn friena of the Re
pu lie, was ready to recognize the rebels
as nation ; we, its old Opponents •and
chi, f competitors; refused to do, an act
which might have been the crowning,
event , of the war. Since the >war has
elated we have , shown in every way a
desire to arrive at an understanding with
the sister natioa. We hive waived our
objections to arbitration, we.have waived
our objections to have the recognition of
the'be'lligerent riglts• discussed, we have
conceded almost every point in favor of
'the special envoy lately sent tonegotiate
a treaty ; but if all these concessions are
merely to be used as the standpoints for
farther and till now unheard-of demands,
we must carefully consider our whole po-
Sidon, leat we establish a worse prece
dent than even the burning of 'ships on
the high seas, by admitting a • discussion
of demands which are "utterly untenable
and ought to be resisted.
[Frail the Pall Ma 1 G%zette, May I.]
* * * Mr. Sumner - has proved to
demonstxation what is the real feeling of
the nation and the Government ref:id: v on
this question, he may fairly be said to rep
resent. It itvevident that it is not a feel
ing which can possibly be propitiated by
any half-and-half concessions. Either we
must acknowledge that the civil war was
as much our work as the South's, and
meekly accept the consequences, 'or we
must abandon the hope of bringing the
American people into a more friendly at
titude toward this country. As even the
extremest Northern .sympithizer :will
hardly go • the lengths demanded by. Mr.
Sumner, we may hope that the opinion of
Englishmen wilt be practically unanimous
in favor of the latter course. The right
answer for Lord Clarendon to give to Mr.
Motley is a simple non' possimus—a refu
sal to enter into any discussion which in
eludes the mention of- the 'proclamation of
neutrality as matter either for compensation
or arbitration. We should have • spared
ourselves some humiliation, and the Amer
icans some additional irritation if we had
acted on this principle throughout Mr.
Johnson's vlsit. •There is another use to
which Mr. Sumner's speech may be turn
ed. We shall be greatly to blame if
we do not see in ita warning
,
that we have incurred, though by
-no .fault of our own, the anger of a
Tau. powerful: people, :which has only
now found out that in military and naval
eminence it can rival the greatestof Euro
- peen Powers. No doubt Mi. Sumner's
only reference to war was a repudiation
of its alleged necessity. But that repudi
ation was itself founded on 'the effect
which it is assumed will follow from the
exertions of good men on each side, an.
we know by this time what an American
Republican means when he talks of good
men. The epithet is rarely, if ever, • ap
pled, =cep! to those who adopt, the whole
iiipubticattprogramme. A good English:
man means a man who has started from
the same premises as Mr. Sumner, and
has come to the same conclusion. If
good men of that type are sufficiently nu
merous and sufficiently persuasive to
bring the majority of Englishmen round
to their view, Mr. Sumner may be right
in thinking war between America • and
England a permanent impossibility. But
if, -as we anticipate, there is difficulty in
finding the preachers, or if, as we are
sure will be the case, their exhortations
fall on deaf ears and stony hearts, It is
, quite possible that this certainty of un
broken peace may prove only a fool's
paradise. The ties of blood are not likely
to count for more where England and the
, United States are concerned than they
counted for when the combatants 'were
two sections of the same people, The
paramount considerations which should
govern the present policy of this country
toward,the United States are the fruitless
ness Of further negotiations and the =Ca
gey of being prepared for war.
