would eventually be the greatest safieFer. lac
war would be one OF devasta:ion-of maritime
havoc such as the world has never known We
might, and probably should, fare much the worst AZ


eginning; but defeat and disaster would only IN
spire Us with new courage, and give increased ie-
vclopement TO our Yrodigious resources. a few
years Of war would make US a warlike people, and
10 our na,ive energies would be added The fiery

Would it be 50 with England She has long

been developed to the utmost the losses and dis
a.,ers of war would find no compensation in the

Yet few more words and We have done The
English and Canadian writers OF whom we have
spoken, all appear to lab.r under the dclrsoa that
Mcleod is personally IN object of animosiiy in this
Country-tbey talk about our numbering him, and
thirsting for his blood Whether t>ey sincerely
entertain this belief or only the phrases to round
period, We do not undertake to say. But in either
case they do thc people of this Country srievous
wrong. No hostile feeling to Mcleod is enter
tanned ne might go alone and unarrncd from one
end of the Union to the other, and nobody would
seek 10 iniurc him, save such as would readily

question in which tho rights and honor of the nation
are involved; he is held for the solution OF that
question. Whatever that solution may be, no in
Justice will be done to him; and if, when the pur
poses of national justice accomplished in the
regular and legal mode, his discharge from captv
iiy shall be the consequence, we venture TO say
that many Asncricans will rcjoice for lis sake,
while none will grieve or be angcrcd at his release.


All we contend for, all .sist upon, is the sat
facten Of our laws against the individual no
Of u; chcri,hes a hostile feeling.
