ENGLISH OPINIONS OF MR.. CALHOUN'S
DlPLOMACY-THE SLAVERY QUESTION.

LIZ AOmACI-AuG SLAVERY QU ES lON'
In England, as in the United States, the are two
political parties, distinguished by we'll defined prnci
pies rs the best admnist alive policy Of the gov
eminent. Both parties, however, in that country,
concur 10 preterring monarchical 10 Republican
form Of government. They copcur, too, in FsCasd,
ing the United States great rival OF the Rsitish
monarchy in all the elements which constitute Grust
and powerful nation. There is nothing which they
dread than the influence of our republican i'm
saitutions upon the other nations of the world. Ii
our Union could be dissolved, and faction rule over
tbs States, monarchy would rejoice at the catastrophe
~ the final prOstratlOn OF republicanism. -
With such views it il the policy OF British 81 u n
men to ascertain the weak point 10 our gOvernn-,
in order that their energies may be constantly direct
cd 10 the application OF the most eectual OF
our ultimate overthrow. Their opinion has been
made up for several years, that our Union is N re
aSsailable through its slavery institution than an
other. This important fact cannot be too strongly
and constantly impressed upon the minds of all Ame-
rican statesmen. 1t will explain many important
movements having an indirect bearing upon our do
nestle Institutions and which have been adopted un-
der the hypocritical pretext Of an enlarged and uni
versal benevolence. The famous "WorId's Conven-
ton" which was held in London and in which Anne
rican citizens appeared delegates was one of those
movements designed to enlist the sympathies of all
nations, and to direct combined moral power against
slavery in the United States which would fnaly
work out q dissolution Of our Union.
The deep anxiety manifested by British statesmen
in reference TO the enlargement of our territory to
the South has grown partly out of the same deep laid
policy, looking to the supposed weak point in our
bond Of Union. If any doubt has heretofore existed
on this subject in this country the evidence furnished
10 the late leading organs of the two parties in Eng
land in their comments Mr.. Calhoun letter to our
Minister to France, Mr. King, must remove all such
doubts. When Mr.. Calhoun's letter was first pub.
lished, we expressed our appreciation of the bold
frank and independent tone which characterized it
