A VIEW OF THE DIsUNIoN QUESTION FROM AN
AMERICAN ABROAD.
FROM THE NEW oaLSAss BULLETIN or JAsUAar7
The letter of our London correspondent contains
some wholesome monitions and advice deserving
Of serious consideration and digestion. The Dis
unonists, who entertain the hope that, should they
ever succeed IN breaking up this glorious Confed-
eracy, they would find friend and ally in Great
Britain, would be most egregiously deceived. John
Bull has discovered that since his rebellious off
spring has grown up to mans estate, he has become
useful to him; and rather than ALLEVIATE the ractious
offshoot altogether from his old affections he toe-
rates his independence and waywardness, because
it is his interest to do so. We are now respected
and feared on account of our strength and influence
let us be divided and split up into Independent but
weak communities, and we become at once con.
temned and trampled upon. The South can look
for no sympathy or cooperation from Great Bri-
tain. The British constitution regards every man
who treads upon British soil freeman, made so,
as CuRRAN says, by the irresistible genius of uni
versa emancipation" Englishmen are by princ-
pie and constitution abotonists. and they would
hold no faith or communion with shareholders, had
they the power to subjugate them. Were South
Carolina and Mississippi to separate from their
sister States, and seek the protection of Great Br-
tain, it would doubtless be given to them, but it
would be "the protection that vultures give to
lambs-covering and devouring them"
