THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 31, 1861.

The North always asserts that the Union senti-
ment is kept down by tyranny. This may be true;
but if it be, we hear of very few facts to support
it. The Border States are naturally divided ;
Western Virginia is all for the Union, and Kentucky
and Missouri have perhaps a majority, not more,
in its favo4r. We have heard also one or two
strange stories, the American kind of stories, of in-
dividuals being obliged to be Secessionists against
their will in the South. We have learned, however,
nothing authentic from the South itself, though
reason would suggest that thousands in the South
as well as in the North would rather war had not

been commenced.
But whatever the tyranny of the South may be,
that of the North is certain. The spy, the police-
man, and Judge LYNCH are masters of all there.
The mob is censor of the Press, and inflicts sum-
mary punishment on every Editor who thinks
peace or a compromise desirable ; if he openly
favoured the South, not only his paper, but his life
would, we believe, be in danger. To think that the
Southerners have something to say for themselves,
is regarded and treated as treason ; and dealt with
accordingly. In this country, during the war of
Independence, a large and intelligent party
thought the colonies were in the right ; Americans
point to it with respect ; but it would be better

if they treated there own countrymen in the Free

States who differ from the majority as England at
that time treated the opposition who favoured
the colonies. While the war is raging, of course,
persons who by any overt act further the
objects of the enemy must be restrained;
but not content with this, Mr. LINCOLN fills Fort
La Fayette with "suspects," against whom no
definite charge whatever is made. They have
shown Southern tendencies—perhaps they may
have connections in the South ; anyhow, Mr. Secre-
tary CAMERON suspects them of what they know
not, nor does he tell them, so to prison they go.
The system is now carried out, so that not even
Englishmen are safe from arrest. If they
go to the North they must either be
friends of the North, or preserve a com-
plete silence in regard to their opinion. We do
not know that even this would be sufficient.
Silence instead of enthusiasm for the North, might
be supposed to be a proof of " Southern tendencies."
We bear of respectable gentlemen even in Liver-
pool being dogged wherever they go by an American
spy—the -window of a gentleman's own house not
being privileged against the impertinent prolonged
stare and gaze of Yankee eyes. The employment
of spies on board vessels crossing the Atlantic is
certain ; while we have the names and particulars of
two respectable gentlemen who were arrested
immediately on their landing. I Mr. -,.,
ORWOOD'S
case the grounds of suspicion, as stated by the
authorities themselves, are almost Judicrons. He
and his father had been heard on board to make
remarks "in no complimentary terms, of
the
Northern Government ! Plainly some of us had
better keep on this side of the water. Since, for
such conversation, he was placed in a cell in New
York, and had the pleasure of remaining there,
while the officials treated his papers much as the
Pontifical sbirri did those of Father PASSAGLIA
at Rome.

The affair is in the hands of Lord LYONS and
Mr. SEWARD. To the latter it gives, we have no
doubt, superlative pleasure to imprison British
subjects, and to condemn British ships. He will

continue to snub our representatives, and to
swagger, it may be, about Canada, Mexico, and St.

Domingo, but if hostile feeling be increased in this
country and other European States, he may thank
his own insolence for it. It would almost seem as
if the vast army around him, which yet is not
sufficient, for his purpose, had made the American i
