THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1861.

To-day Congress re-assembles in extraordinary
session, the commemoration day of United States
independence having been selected for that purpose.
We may well suppose that some theatrical effect
was intended when the day was named. The
object must have been in some way to connect the
solemn deelaration of Independence with the events
now occurring. To as, on this side the water, the
connection will seem somewhat far fetched. It
cannot be pretended now that Independence de-
pends on the co-operation of three-and-thirty States,
as it did then on the union of thirteen. The orators,
however, North and South, will have plenty to say
on the subject. The North will indirectly show an
appropriateness in the day to the commendation of
their cause ; the South will more directly proclaim,
"Indepenance is what we commemorate to-day,
and Independence is what we have combined and
armed to seek."

But both North and South will meet to be re-
minded, by the din of arms around, that the Union
was a hollow because an immoral one. When the
North purchased Union at the cost of giving
artificial power to slaveholders, it introduced the
seeds of a disease which has now proved, what many
at the time predicted it would, fatal to the Union.
When members were assigned to the Southern
States, not only in proportion to their white popu-
lation, but to that population augmented by three-
fifths of the slaves—" all other persons "—being
accounted as representative population, the Free-
men of America sold their birthright. They not
only tacitly sanctioned the immoral political incon-
sistency of founding a great Republic, with its
famous preamble on the natural rights of men, yet
one which deprived a whole race of men of their
equal rights, but they put actually power into the
hands of the very men who were guilty of
this social and political crime. Nay, they rewarded
them with power in proposition to the extent of
their guilt. A slave state might acqure the right
to send an additional member to Congress, merely
by purchasing a larger number of their hapless
fellow-creatures.

All the early great statesmen of America, even
WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON, though slaveholders
themselves, saw the danger, and hoped the arrange-
ments which had been made would prove fatal to
slavery. They have been as utterly
mistaken as
most com promisers with evil generally are. Slave-
holders at first pleaded fate, necessity, the danger
of sudden. measures, and that the evil, they too
deplored, was inevitable. Quickily, however, they
began to change their tone, and the civilized world
has seen with astonishment the most infernal evil
on earth becoming the controlling power in
America; giving Presidents, Supreme Court
Judges, a majority of the Senate, and eventually
every petty officer to the Union ; has seen
it annexing Texas, forcing compromises, abolishing
them when they stood in their way, endeavouring,
by Presidential treachery and by ruffian violence,
to subdue Kansas to slavery, enacting Fugitive
Slave laws to deprive men of liberty by a mock
trial, and by direct bribery of the Judge, such as he
was—the civilised world beheld all this, and asked
—ls this Republic anism ? Are these things the per-
fection of free institutions? At last the uncon-
genial elements have separated, and separated, we
may hope, for ever, unless the Northerns hoist the
banner of abolition. This fourth of July ought
to bring to their minds, if anything can do
it, the folly and wickedness of the original com-
pact between Freemen and Slaveholders. Unless
that contract of iniquity be broken up, the
'Union ought to bi t shattered. The civilised world
cannot wish to aee the Free States again ham-
pered and corrupted by a close union with Slave-
holders. Better by far, if slavery cannot be
abolished, that the :Free North should remain un-
fettered by associations with what has proved to
be so debasing and corrupting to its national
character. While evon in despotic ccnntries, in
Europe, the sentiments of the people were right
enough in regard to f ersonal slavery, it was the
rarest thing in the world, before Mr. LTINCOLN'S
election, to meet an American who was not at

best shifty on the subject, of slavery. His con-
science was sapped by his selfish political interest.
At the present moment probably the North has
to feel that she has nurtured a foe not too easy to
deal with. Hitherto, indeed, the substantial tri-
umph seems to be with the North ; yet the South
has beaten in two skirmishes, and though the
Northern line is said to be advanced a few miles,
yet near Harper's Ferry itself the Southern artillery
was playing on the Federalists on the north side of
the Potomac, and the " rebels" were advancing
their works to within four miles of Fort Monroe,
which, therefore, was plainly not furnished with
Armstrong guns. Washington has still to be
strongly garrisoned. The Southerns are evi-
dently not to be despised, though we
may well believe they cannot long resist the vast
levies which the North will make, and in time, drill,
for a great war. But a great effort indeed it must
be on the part of the North, if a single campaign
puts an end to the struggle. We quite expect,
however, that to demand the most imposing naval
and military means is the chief object of calling
together Congress at this time. When the 4th of
July was first named by Mr. LINCOLN, he had
probably hoped that before that time things might
have looked more peaceful ; he sees that they have
become ten times worse, he knows that there is no
alternative now but to conquer thoroughly or to
compromise ; the latter he dares not propose, he will
appeal to the pride of the North to make sure of the
former.

We must wait, of course, ten or twelve days, till
Monday week perhaps, for even telegraphic infor-
mation respecting the celebration of the 4th of
July by our American friends—probably we shall
have a little foretaste of it, however, here
in England. We expect in their present per-
verse temper with us to come in for some
ludicrous abuse ; indeed, we hardly know
what would save us from it unless declaring
war against the Southern Confederation would
do it, and then, perhaps, they would be angry
with us for helping them to thrash those whom
it was their business alone to chastise. Eng-
land and her cotton proclivities will, we may be
sure, be a frequent topic. We are happy, however,
to inform Americans that the most earnest wish of
Englishmen is to get cotton elsewhere. We should
be but too thankful never to see another bale of
slave-grown cotton; and are making every effort
that such should be the case. Only to-day, our
readers will notice another and hopeful communi-
cation from Jamaica ; and we are anxiously look-
ing round on the fifty-eight places from which
cotton has been already received in this country with
the reason able hope that the encouragement furnished
by present circumstances will call forth such a sup-
ply from many of these places as will go far towards
superseding our dependence on the accursed slavery
of America. That will be indeed a glorious 4th of
July, according to English notions, on which Ame-
rican ovations can celebrate the extinction of slavery,
mad proclaim to all the world that the produce
which she has to exchange with other countries is
the creation of her own free sons.

The last of the vacant legal appointments has at
length been filled up. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER
is the new Solicitor-General. The announcement
of this learned gentleman's nomination to the office
from which Sir WILLIAM ATHERTON has recently
been promoted to the Attorney-Generalship was
formally given to the public only last evening by
the semi-official Whig organ of the Government.
Our own readers having been upwards of a
week since apprised by ourselves of the
fact thus tardily notified by our contem-
porary So that the intimation of Mr. ROUN-
DELL PALMER'S selection for the office came not
one jot more ar a surprise to the public generally
than the superfluous announcement to HAMLET of
the arrival of the Player, by that garrulous Lord High
Everything, the Royal Chamberlain POLONIUS.
HAMLET sees POLONIUS eagerly approaching—
" I will prophesy," says the Prince to RosEN-
CRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN, " he comes to tell me
of the players; mark it." Polonius—" My lord,
I have news to tell you." hamlet—" My lord, I
have news to tell you. When Roscius was an
actor in Rome—" Polonius—" The actors are
come hither, my lord." Hamlet—" Buz, buz."
Polonius—Upon my honour,—" It is thus now pre-
cisely with the Whig POLONIUS. Oa Wednesday,
the 3d of July, it announces as news the fact which
had been given to the public is the first leading
article of The Sun on Tuesday, the 25th of June.
Yesterday—only yesterday—the Whig organ en-
deavoured to startle her MAJESTY'S lieges with the
information that Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER has been
nominated to the office of Solicitor-General. Now,
it was only yesterday that we had oscasion
to direct attention, in fairness to ourselves,
to the accuracy with which from the first we had
indicated the legal changes consequent upon the
death of the late Lord Chancellor. Immediately
upon the morrow of Lord CAMPBELL'S sudden
demise we had said quite plainly and confidently
that Sir RICHARD BETHELL, the Attorney-General

during Lord CAMPBELL'S Chancellorship, would be
raised (with a peerage) to the woolsack. And
eventually he teas so raised. We asserted at the
same time that the then Solicitor-General would
be, in due course, advanced to the Attorney-
Generalship. And Sir WILLIAM ATHERTON has
been so promoted. We even filled up the gap

left by the advancement of Sir WILLIAM
ATHERTON, and as far back as on Tues-
day, the 25th of June, distinctly named
Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER as his successor in the
Solicitor-Generalship. These assertions, one and all
of them, were so distinct indeed, and so positive,
aad so categorical, that we may as well give them
here again in the shape of a " proof positive" quo-
tation. The first leading article, then, in our im-
pression of Tuesday, the 25th of June, thus com-
menced :

" The Ministerial intentions in regard to the law
changes consequent upon the lamented death of
the Lord High Chancellor may now be stated, we
believe, pretty confidently. They are through..., first
precisely what we ourselves at the very
moment anticipated. They run exactly in the order
marked out by us in our earliest impresszon yester-
day afternoon. The Attorney-General, Sir IttertAßD
BETHELL, is to be advanced, with a peerage to
the woolsack, to be England's new Lord High
Chancellor. The Solicitor-General is in due
sequence to advance, in his turn, by a single step
to the post vacated by Sir RICHARD BETHELL—
the post of the Attorney-Generalship. There will
then remain to be filled up the secondary, but highly
responsible, position of the Solicitor-General. And
Who—is it asked—shall we have as Solicitor-
General? Let us answer the inquiry accord-
ing to our belief—Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER S
the lawyer whose name is set down for the
post of Solicitor-General by Lord PALMERSTON."

Than which certainly, as the events have
proved, nothing could possibly have been more
accurate throughout. We went on to add, however,
what yet remains to be verified :—" But,"
we said, " Mr. PALMER, it may be objected, lacks at
this moment a seat in the House of Commons ! True
—but that, too, is of course taken into consideration
by the Premier and thus is the objection pro-

• "-WA,

posed to be removed ! The Appropriation of Seats
Bill having been pushed through Parliament,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer is to claim the
recognition of his new Radical, Free-trade, es-Con-
servative opinions by winning the day as the new
representative for South Lancashire. And—(don't
you recognise the adroitness of it all at a glance ?)
Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER, the new Solicitor-General,
the Puseyite Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER, is to slip
quietly and snugly into Mr. GLADSTONE'S aban-
doned post as M.P. for the University of Oxford."
How far this prediction may be fulfilled yet re-
mains, we repeat, to be recognised. It is certain,
however, that Mr. PALMER still lacks a seat in the
House of Commons, and that a seat somewhere in
that House he must have by necessity as Solicitor-
General. It is equally well known that Mr. GLAD-
STONE, finding Oxford University long ago too hot
for him, has had set apart for himself as a far
more congenial constituency the bran new
constituency about to be called into existence
by the fiat of Sir G. C. LEWIS'S Appropriation
of Seats Bill, down in South Lancashire. Created
that new constituency, or rather that additional
seat for the better representation in Parliament of
that old constituency—passed Sir GEORGE LEWIS'S
Bill in its amended form—chosen Mr. GLADSTONE
as the third knightly representative of the southern
division of the county palatine of Lancaster—Mr.,
or (as he will forthwith be of course from
the magic accolade with the Sword of State in the
hand of the Sovereign) Sir ROUNDELL PALMER
may then readily step into the vacant place of M.P.
for the University of Oxford, immediately that
place has been conveniently left vacant for him by
the removal northwards of the ex-Tory " Captain "
among " PEEL'S BOYS " at length developed into
the radical, free trading, experimental Financier,
the Unicorn leader in the henceforth team-of-three
for South Lancashire.

We have so very frequently before now written
—and always we can honestly aver with such
deep and earnest solicitude—in reference to the
appalling magnitude of the annual destruction of
life and property along our coasts by Shipwreck,
that we may for once content ourselves with a
merely cursory allusion to the revival of this theme
for discussion, the night before last in the British
House of Commons by Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE.
The simple consideration of this one dreadful truth
—that the sacrifice here referred to amounts year
after year to a frightful average of about
£1,500,000 sterling—the mere knowledge of
these " totals" will be enough to justify
any one who, as Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE did, on
Tuesday evening, recalls the attention of Parlia-
ment yet once more to the need there is for legisla-
tive interference here—if such legislative inter-
ference can be proved in any way to be possible, to
be practicable. The peg or hook upon which the
hon. baronet hung his new argument upon this eld,
old theme was, after all, however, nothing more than
a broken chain-cable of a merchant-ship. As a plea
—that is, for legislative interposition—it proved to
be utterly insufficient. In demonstration of which
insufficiency, by the way, the right hon-
ourable gentleman the President of the
Board of Trade had merely to ask rather pointedly
what proportion of wrecks occurred annually in
consequence of imperfections in the ships' anchors
and chain cables. In answer to which query of
Mr. MILNER GIBSON'S, it must be perforce admitted,
even by Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE himself, that the
flaw he had indicated is no more than a single item
among the many (almost countless) causes of these
dreadacalamities. Tests ought certainly, obviously
to be applied to the chain-cables and the ships'
anchors of our merchantmen, but—by Government ?
Under the supervision of agents employed by Go-
vernment P If it were thus decided in
regard to anchors and cables, it might
be just as reasonably, and indeed quite as
imperatively (because of the precedent) in-
sisted upon for every other portion of the vessel
from her keel to the topmost point of her jurymast !
From the heel of her rudder to the tip of her bow-
sprit ! If nothin g practical, however, in the way
of improvement came from Sir JAMES ELPEIIN-
STONE'S humane but mistaken proposition, the
hon. baronet at any rate did so far good service
in a noble cause by bringing anew under the
notice of the Legislature the need there is for
striving by every means that may be in any
way practicable to diminish this fearful annual
sacrifice of a thousand gallant tars and others, as
well as of a million and a half of property by ship-
wreck along our coast line.

According to the telegrams Austria has gained a
double victory. Not only has the Reichsrath at
Vienna accepted with commendation the Imperial
rescript to the Hungarian Diet, but the House of
Magnates in Hungary itself has done the same.
We are even told that it has sent a deputation to
the EMPEROR, to express its approval of a docu-
ment which the Lower House in the. Diet would
barely read. If this is true, we are rather at a loss
for an explanation of such conduct, since the
Upper House passed the Address which the rescript
so haughtily censures at least nemine contradicente.
The Upper House did indeed object to the small
majority of the Lower House having amended M.
DEAK'S draft address; the Magnates thought it
would be better to acknowledge FRANCIS JOSEPH
as exercising de facto sovereignty in the country,
but all the Magnates were as unanimous as all were
in the Lower House in regard to the demands, and
the reasonings in support of them, contained in the
address. Indeed the Vienna Press acknowleged
that the unanimity of all the nobles of ;Hun-
gary on the great points—strict personal union
only, involving separate civil, military, and financial
administration—was complete. Is it conceivable that
the Upper House has really separated itself from
the House of Delegates.
That the Upper House in Vienna should be for-
ward to approve is natural enough. The members
were nearly all Germans, or under court influence.
Their single object is to make up, if they can, for
the insignificance of the Austrian Archducal estates
in the councils of Germany, by incorporating
Hungary with those petty territories. Hungary is
a Kingdom larger, more populous and powerful,
and infinitely nobler minded than any of the
German Duchies, and yet these selfish Germans
want to aggrandize themselves by suppressing the
great nationality. It is as if Wales, or Scotland,
or Ireland, had wanted to annex and amalgamate
England ! This is no exaggerated illustration.
Indeed it would have been far more feasiable for
Scotland to annex England than for the heir to the
hereditary Duchy of Austria to annex Hungary.
We may hope that the so-called Emperor of Ars-
TRIA will ruin himself in his present attempt. He
has concentrated a host of German troops in JT-
un-
gary, though it is treason to have them there with-
out the consent of the Diet; he has placed his most
anti-Hungarian commanders there, and he will be
as ruthless as a HAPSBURG, if he dares. Perhaps,
however, the attitude of Baron RICASOLI may con-
vince him that all is not over in Italy yet. In any
case Hungary has the grand resource of passive
resistance,

The Court will leave town thip afternoon for
