Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Maritime and Neutral Rights: Address of Gen´l Hiram Walbridge, at the Grand Corporation Banquet, by the Municipal Authorities of the City of New York, in Commemorating of the Anniversary of Washington´s Birthday, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, February 22, 1862 It was proposed by the British representative, that the right to trade to the inderdicted ports should continue until some formal notice should be given to the different foreign governments of commercial nations. Our Government justly let it be distinctly understood that proper notice could and would be given from the decks of our blockading squadron. Simultaneously with these proceedings, leading English merchants in Liverpool formally and publicly proposed to Lord John Russell the fitting out, if not dissented to by him, of an armed force to break the blockade, and forcibly export the great staple of the South. They deliberately asked the British government to give its countenance to despoil their transatlantic neighbors. The British government were not prepared in this public way to do violence to sound international law and to the moral sentiment of the civilized world. The administration, alive to the necessity of energetic action, promptly despatched to the courts of the Western Powers two distinguished citizens to London and Paris. These envoys were expected soon to reach their destination, their appointment having been publicly announced through the press immediately upon the opening of the new administration. On the 13th of May, 1861, our Minister, Mr. Adams, reached Liverpool, and the day following London, in order that the British government might be early apprised of the views and purposes of the American Cabinet. The British government, however, on that very day, issued the Queen´s Orders in Council, with Pharisaical words of neutrality in regard to our domestic trouble, virtually and in fact recognizing the insurgent States as belligerents, and, in that respect, placing them on an equal footing with the United States.
