"In plain English," says the Pall Mall Gazette, a London newspaper of great influence, "we ought never to attach the smallest importance to any speech or declaration of policy which comes to us from the United States." This is a hard hit, but when we reflect that it was caused by Sumner's Alabama speech, we, of the South at least, can put up with it without feeling hurt, or demanding from the London paper an apology, with "pistols and coffee for two," in case of refusal on its part to comply with our demand.
