PIE ENGLISH PRESS AND THE AMEBIC', N
WAD.

(Flom FAlsn'r Maga:iie far o:tober.)

It must be admitted in the first place that the
press of this °poetry ham done great and even cruel iojus-
tie' to the North, and has justitivil a good deal of the feel-
ing with which they regard us. This has been the arse in
asyseal particulars.
In the tirst place it must be owned that a great many of
oar comments on Arnerkan affairs here been pervaded by
• vindictive complaceocy which was altogether unworthy of
us, end naturally moat offensive to them. As moo, am the
Southern States seceded we all began to exult. You hays
got • bite of your own crust was the burden of our song.

rebellion ! tt a could sympathise with • legitimate govern.
merit in its resistance to insurrection. We had a tight to
hold Ini!is against the Sepoys ; we would reduce Ireland to
• desert before we gave way to Irish rebels; but that is
be use we are one of the ancient nations of the world ; our
government hold. its power by • better title than the rights
of man and the declaration of independence you, uo the
other band, are not a legitimate power ; you are bound by
principles which we repudiate, and those principles would
force you to concede to others the independence which your
mucomful wickedueme wrested from us.

This sentiment thrown into all aorta of different forms,
but for the most part insinuated in the shape of more or less
ingenious banter, pervaded the greater pat t of what waseaid
or written about the Americans in several of our boding
papers, *specially the Times. It was intensely irritating,
both because it had an air of plausibility, and was well
fitted to catch attention, and also becuse it involved the
retractation of the admission long since roads by all educated
Englishmen that in our great controversy the) were right,
and were justified by this very principles on which all our
own liberties were founded. indeed this way of writing
could be justified only on principles from which nothing but
universal anarchy would follow. It tacitly imputed to the
Americans that the founders of the United States hid laid
down the principle that whenever any considerable body of
men those to withdraw themselves from the control of a
given government they ought to be allowed to do so. Such
, • priecdpls was probably never held by any sane man. It
would not only give the South a right to repudiate the
North, but it would give New York city n right to secede
from the State of New York. Nay it would give the city
ef Westminster • right to secede from the City of London,
and set up fur itself, with its high bailiff for a king. The
principle of American independence was that wham a cone-
arable body of men are badly governed and oppressed
by • goveroment under which they live, they have a right
to resist and withdraw from it ; and unless everything in
the history of England, of which we hre her acrieloond
to boast, from Magua Charts to the Reform Bill, was •
crime, this principle m pa fatly true. To deny to the United
States, as most of our public writers did deny to them, the
right of putting down resistance not justified by optimists%
and to impose upon them the duty of subniitting at ones to
any resistance whatever, whether justified or sot, was
equivalent to maintaining that chronic anarchy was the only
state of things which could exist in North America. Could
may Iseult be more gross and wanton, or proceed from
meaner grounds! Was it worthy of writers who assumed to
express the feelings of • great nation to allow petty spite at
• national humiliation ninety years ago to induce them to
disavow the fundamental principles of English freedom
Another point in which we did great injastico to the
North was that after • very abort interval we totally forgot,
and never sines rem to have thought it worth while to re-
member, that the South alone ware to blame in the begin-
sing of the war, and that that. were grievously to blame.
Than are parts of Mr. Caere' book with which we by no
mans agree ; but one part of it is true beyond all controversy.
The Bouthernen had for many years governed the Union.
They had done ea with a view to their own peculiar Lustier.
Moo of slavery; the object of their policy being to increase
as far ma possible the number of Slays States, and so keep
up their power is the Senate, and maintain sad extend that
oasts of things which for eammoical reasons are essential to
the 'urgers of slavery. No doubt it is true that slave
labour Is warred, superficial, inefficient, and applicable
ably to the rudest processes. Here, as the slave population
Jewesses, an wormier area is required for its employment,
and hence en doubt the alarewasn were anxious to make
rosy ether consideration bead to that of introducing new
liar errs Into the Union. It is also quits true that this
was the mere for the bullying, swaggering tone, and for the
aggressive policy of American politicians ; and that those
who were always most insolent to us were the very men who
are now the leaders of the Confederate States. The history
of the events cared by this rate of things, from the Mis-
souri compromise down to the war in Kansas, cad the Died
Scott case, is coming to be partially known to English
readen who are to rider/teed American affairs, and is well
dersibed by Mr. Cairn's. Besides this there is every reran
to believe that to all their other offences the leaders of the
@Gersten movement added at the time of secession gross
treachery. They bad in their hands the forces of the Union,
sad they diaper/I of them in such a way as to enable them-
selves to destroy the Unica. The first act of sereanon itself
was provoked by no wirers& Nobody oppressed the
Sorb. They seceded @imply because a Northern man was
elected president, and before they had been interfered with
in any respect whatever. I. • word the South, both in what
led to secession, sod on the act of secession itself, gave as
great provocation to the North, sad behaved as ill to them
as one people could behave to another. All this we forgot.
In most of our leading papers the Confederates have bra
the oppressed, fighting for Wary against their Federal op-
=; and ire have been told that we, the people of Eng-
:s ympathised with the South, not only because their
defacer was Whist, but because it was just.
Not only do these circumstances afford fair ground of
complaint against the views of the war put forward in Eng-
lish papers, but some of their statements as to matter of
fact have been untrue and some of them very unjust. Few
journalists had ever Incurred greater responsibility than the
New York correspondent of the Tines. It is on his testi-
mony aloe* that a large and moat Martial class of Eog-
lialt society has sympathised with the South. Ho has
throughout acted the part of an unscrupulous advocate,
carefully reporting to his employers, and through them to
all England, every 'tremor and every fact which could
create contempt and disgust against the conduct, the prin-
ciples, and in general the area cf the North. Ho be. uni-
formly represented the Forward' as tyrant*, marauders,

the war ; he quotes every rant of the New York
Retold, sad ha leaves out of t all that is heroic and

Their rossooro have not that repose which marks the
readers of the Times. They, or at least their public wri-
ting sad speakers, bluster, sad swagger, sod in a thousand
ways lay themselves apes to people of colder manners. Be-
sides this, there is go doubt as choice a selection of black-
guards in New York City as is to he found in anj part of the
world, nor is there say place is which the blackguard ste-
mma basso much Maraca Add to this, that an rot-
ator army, raised in a few months, and officered by mac
who bad so moral control over their troops, was of neces-
sity lax in its discipline, and that the enormous and sudden
expenditure involved in raisins such so army held out an
unexampled temptation to jobbery, and it becomes plain
that scabies could be easier than to misrepresent the
whole aspect of the war without saying a single thing that
was oat either tire, or at all limb attested by plausible
evidence. The New York Correspondent of the Tines never
thought of pointiag out that however many :risk and Ger-
mans might bs hired to fight at New York, the balk of
the army was and is filled by volunteers from the comfort-
able aura of New England and the West. If it be true
that the North have had in arms some 800,000 men, and if,
which is absurd, we allow 300,000 of them to have bees
learcenasiss, it would still be true that a population not
exceeding that of Great Britain sent 500,000 men into the
field. This would be at the very least one eighth of the
grown up men in the country. When we consider that this
effort was made, sot against an larder, nor under the
prentre qf want, but in the midst of unbouuded prosperity
In order to support the credit and glory of the nation, it
is bare Justine to fry that the history of mankisd
can turgid' co other example of such en effort. The Dutch

este, end ought to have excited the admiratice, braid of
