President JOHNSON, as well as his Cabinet, re-
mained to the end-under the extraordinary delusion
that the nation, as a whole, supported his policy.
lie was only undeceived by the result of the elec-
tions, which came on him like a thunderbolt. IVe
cannot wonder that the English should retain false
impressions touching the sentiments of Americans,
when the ruler of the nation and the person most
deeply in terested should be convicted of this ignorance.
There is, in truth, no question now worth fighting
for between the contending factions. The war: has
proved that the Union is to be maintained ; and,
as all parties are agreed on this vital subject, the
manner of accomplishment alone remains to be de-
cided. If we could blow away all the smoke and
clouds raised by the bitter discord of parties, we
would see how narrow are the interests involved,
and how mad the idea that those interests require
the sacrifice of a single life. The question is
simply on what terms the ten unrepresented
States are to re-enter the Union. While the
parties remained apparently equally balanced, and
every spur was given by the violent language of
politicians to rouse the people into action, there
was danger of the strong-minded on both sides car-
rying the game beyond the bounds of reason. On
this account we hoped above all things that the
people would speak out, and decide the matter either
one way or the other. Whether Mr. JOHNSON carried
his policy or Congress enforced the Constitutional
amendment, was comparatively of little moment to
the frightful issue which might have arisen, and
would in truth have been, in the broadest sense of the
word, a civil war. An appeal to arms to settle the
differences between the PRESIDENT and Congress
would have been a reproduction of that between
CHARLES and his Parliament on a scale out
of all proportion larger than that which laid waste
and desolated for years the green fields of England.
It would, indeed, be the most horrible catastrophe
that could occur in this world, stripped of the princi-
ples and motives which could in any way justify the
terrible ordeal. It was incumbent on the American
people, in the face of such an eventuality, strongly,
sternly, and with determined force, to speak. Had
they wavered, half supporting the PRESIDENT—haIf
supporting the Congress, each side might have
blustered till the horrible calamity overtook society.
The decided success, then, of the Republican party
is a blessing to the country. Not so much that it
enforces a rational and legitimate policy, arising
from the consequences of the late war, as that it settles a
cause of dispute which might have been carried to the
length of involving the nation in ruin. We always
thought that aii appeal to arms was in the last
degree improbable, because we felt the nation
would take action, and that its leaders would bow
to its voice when heard. The nation has spoken, and
all that remains is for the leaders to shape
their course accordingly. The Republican party
is triumphant ; and it has now only to secure
its victory, and carry the people along with
it by listening to the counsel of moderate men, and
using its success with discretion. The PRESIDENT,
in spite of his faults, is an earnest, patriotic citi-
zen ; perhaps too determined to enforce his own
views, yet believing honestly that the policy he had
propounded was the true solution to the difficulties
of the position. It is now more than probable that
he will abandon his policy, and adopt the amend-
ments which Congress desire to enforce. At the
same time that the North maintains the ascendancy
that wealth, numbers, and the result of the appeal
to arms have given it, it is clearly as much for its
interest as for that of the South that sectional dif-
ferences should cease, and the nation be again
united as one. It would be absurd for the great
States, whose will is now the law of the Union, to
profess jealousy or fear of the prostrate South. The
development of Southern resources is a vital element
of the Union's strength. The task now before the
statesmen of America is sufficiently difficult without
adding thereto an undying quarrel, and dragging
along in seeming union, but in reality in discord,
an unwilling people. There are financial difficul-
ties as well as those to repair the waste of war—
there are boundless tracts to be colonised as. well as
those trodden into a desert by contending armies-
there arc burnt and bombarded cities to be rebuilt
as well as their alienated inhabitants to be con-
ciliated—there are great staples which for-
merly gave America the command in the mar-
kets of the world to be fostered into more than
their old productiveness, as well as the chief agri-
cultural and mineral wealth of creation to be raised
and guided into the proper channels of commerce.

ANNALS of a QUIET NEIGHBOURHOOD.
By GEORG ill MAC DoIsIALD, M.A.
" Mr. Man Don.ld is a true poet. ' l'he Anna's' are as fur.

lion for days and weeks after all resistance had ceased.' 1
am not prepared to question the truth of these allegations ;
1 am not prepared to deny that the period of punishment
was too long, or that its character was too severe. Now
that the smoke of battle has cleared away, you perhaps see
more truly the character of the field. But 1 would invite
you to transport yourselves to that field while the smoke
still hung upon it ; to remember that a former rebellion in
Jamaica, which everybody supposed to be quelled in May,
broke out ' with redoubled fury in June ;' to think of
Governor Eyre with the blood of his slaughtered country-
men before his eyes—with the memories of St. Domingo
in his mind—with the consciousness that the whole island
round him was near its point of combustion, and with no
possible means of estimating how near. In what way,
gentlemen, some of your number would have acted under
these circumstances God only knows. In all probability
they would have acted kindly and calamitously, for phi-
lanthropists can unconsciously become shedders of-blood.
How others of your number would have acted I believe I
do know. They might have acted with more tact, and
thus given less offence ; but their measure of mercy to the
murderers would not, I am persuaded, have exceeded that
of -Governor Eyre. It appears to me that you practically
forget the circumstances which I am here endeavouring
to bring before your minds. There seems a tendency on
your part to tone 'down the cringes of the negro and to
bring his punishments into relief. You speak, for
example, of the massacre at Morant Bay as a local riot.'
But looking at the historic antecedents what right had
Governor Eyre to come to this conclusion ? Had he
come to it, and acted on it, he might have earned for
himself the execration of the English people, if
not of mankind. To his knowledge the whole island was
disaffected, and history. had informed him what a dis-
affected negro population can do. He knew how they could
plot in secret, and spring like tigers on their victims the
moment their plans were matured. Only think of his posi-
tion, knowing that such things had occurred, and with a
horrible practical intimation before him that they were
about to occur again. The height and span of a bridge,
gentlemen, must be regulated with reference to the larger
floods, and the action of Governor Eyre had to be deter-
mined, not by the hypothesis of a local riot, but by the
contemplation of the calamities which were certain to
overwhelm the whole island if the insurrection were per-
mitted to expand. No narrower assumption than this could,
under the circumstances, be entertained. Had the local riot
hypothesis been demonstrable at the time—could it have
been proved that the insurrection was confined to a single
parish, and that the culpilits at large would not spread the
fire of rebellion throughout the colony, 1 would join you in
condemning Governor Eyre. But no such thing was de-
monstrable. Had he had a force at his command sufficient
to cope with insurrection, even though the whole island
were engaged in it, 1 would let him answer for himself.
But he had no such force. The'power opposed to him, if
permitted to organise itself, was sufficient to swallow him
and those for whose lives he was accountable. He was
therefore obliged to augment his relative strength, by
damping everywhere the spirit of rebellion, and this could
only be done by making the name, power, and determina-
tion of England terrible throughout the island. That
errors should be committed, that cruelties should be per-
petrated, that wrong should be done is, I fear, under such
circumstances, unavoidable; but the error, the cruelty,
and the wrong, so far as they were committed, were for
the most part beyond the control of Governor Eyre.
You have directed my attention to the case of Mr.
Gordon,• and I have looked into it again. I pass with-
out comment the evidence of Lieutenant Edenborough,

the extreme gravity of which cannot be overlooked,
because, through the miscarriage of a letter, his evidence,
though in the blue-book, was not taken before the commis-

of the principal murderers of Morant Bay; from his letters
to Mr. Lawrence, his manager; from his conversations
with Messrs. Harrison, Beckwith, Ford, and others; from
his published address to the negams, and from his other
addresses, the conclusion seems indubitable, that ho was the

that no man concerned in the murder of our countrymen
was more guilty than he. When, therefore, the sentence
on G:,rdcm, after having been approved by his officers, was
submitted to him, he did not stay judgment, but ratified
the decision that others had pronounced. Whether, in the
details of this proceeding, he committed or did not commit
a legal blunder, I am not able to say. If he did, he has
surely paid dearly for it by the ruin of his career. I notice
.
throughout his entire conduct the clear conviction on
part that he was doing his duty, the undoubting trust in
the justice of his countrymen which caused him to neglect
the personal safeguards which a more adroit person would
have employed. To associate the term `murder' with his
i
name is, in my opinion, without justification. There sno
propriety in the term unless it is backed by assumptions
which no man has a right to make. And if in the prose-
cution, which, to the detriment of this country, is now in-
voked against Governor Eyre, the execution of Gordon,
from a lawyer's point of view, be deemed indefensible, 1
trust the common sense of Englishmen will perceive that
it was caused by those whose own bloody atrocities had,
for the time, stifled mercy, and abrogated law. Such,
gentlemen, are the notions and interpretations which
your courtesy in writing to me induces me to
lay before you. And such being my notions, when
asked to join the Eyre Defence Committee, I felt that
cowardice, or a dislike to the worry involved in the act,
wore the only reasons which opposed my doing so. Con-.
chiding from what I had observed in society, that Governor
Eyre was more likely to suffer from timidity than convic-
tion—that the dread of you, gentlemen, and of those whom
you represent was very widely spread-4 overcame my
strong reluctance to mingle in any matter of the kind. I
pledge you my word of honour, gentlemen, that during
this inquiry I have laid before me the testimocnapyaosiftmnewnhoof
approved valour, coolness of judgment, and
have occupied positions of the most critical danger who
have extracted themselves and others from such
positions
in a manner which has secured for them the unanimous
applause of the people of this country, and who, from data
gathered on the spot, conclude that in the month of Oct.,
1865, Governor Eyre saved the whole white population of
Jamaica from massacre: I have the solemn assurance of
such men that England has few sons as noble, few men so
equal to a great emergency, few who have done the State
such service as Governor Eyre. And I now call upon you,
with the most solemn emphasis that man can address to
man, not to permit personal pride, the love of victory, or
the desire to substantiate that to which you have committed
yourselves, because you are so committed, to influence your
further action in the matter. I call upon you in the name
of all that is wise and dignified in human nature—in the
name of all that is just and manly in English character,
not to permit the folly of Governor Eyre's admirers, if such
folly should in your estimation exist, to colour your judg-
ment in this grave question. And whether you will bear,
or whether you will forbear, I call upon the men of Eng-
land who share the views here set forth, to throw them-
selves without delay between you and Governor Eyre, and
to prevent you from adding to the harm which he has
already experienced at your hands. I have the honour

These remedies so purify the blood and regulate its circu-

Abraham Blackburn, described as a person of considerable
property, was charged with conspiring, along with one

will bring a vast amount of misery upon the working
classes in the neighbourhoods above mentioned.
