tion and the unhappy affair of Pacifico was surely well redeemed by the cession of the Ionian Islands. She is naturally marked out, not for an exclusive, but for a special friendliness with Greece. But there is no demand in this case for a special friendliness, in order to supply the motive of right action. The ungracious assent, which we so unhappily substituted at the Congress for our zealous advocacy, at any rate stands recorded against us. That we should lend to Greece a free and resolute concurrence, at least at this final stage, in obtaining for her the boon destined for her by European compact, is what justice, policy, and even decency, alike require.
