SENATOR MORGAN SHRIEKS DEFIANCE AT BRITAIN.
Washington, March 6,
In the Senate tc-day Mr Morgan, speaking in support of his resolution declaring the Clayton-Bulwer treaty abrogated, said: — “We will make no compromise with Great Britain on the subject of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and wo have made no concession in relation thereto. What we shall do with it—and some of our people are opposed even to that—is that wo shall declare it abrogated.
If the purpose of Great Britain is still to look for decay she will not get it. If it be her determination to pick a quarrel with us she will find that the United States can muster at least half of the number of men who voted for the President at the last election as fighting men, and she will find that when the war terminates that the steel band which binds the throne in Loudon to Australia and India and which passes through Canada will have been rent in twain, and with its severance down will go the British Empire. “She will find that she has over taxed our patience. She has started with a new King and upon a new career that will break up her Empire and reduce the Kieg to the sovereignty of his own island.”— Router.
