NATIONAL lNTELLIGENCER:
FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT


and especially Lord PALMERsToN, was determined
to cause the separation Of your Confederacy that
secret emissaries were now at work in the United
States that deep-laid plans were now in secret
operation to bring about this result and that the
entire scheme was patronized and encouraged oy
the Government of this country. Ihe genueman
of whom we speak is literally and
world-experienced man; he has resided IN Europe
at various times, and for long periods ne mas dedl
Gated much of his time and his money to benevo-
lent and philan.hropic purposes and ne Is much
more inclined to deduce good than i'll from what ne
sees around him. How, then, has ne received the
impression of which we speak, and how does ne
saw the work is aimed to be accomplished! IL
NAV be stated, we think, as a general rule, that
whenever the blessings of Providence or OF Fortune
are abused or misapplied, they turn to injuries and
wrongs The art Of printing strongly illustrates this tenden-
cy Whs, has done spread light and life and hber-
y abroad in the world than the legitimate use Of the Press
What has tended to propagate error and unu'n %
foster prejudice and poison the very spring and source Of
knovledre than its abuse The daily journals and the Pc.
rodica literature Of both England and the United States
prove this for while there Is much in both which s truly
excellent there is far too much Of directly contrary charsc-
ter There are journals hee which cannot allow merit or
truth in any thing American and which are constantly anti
cpasing ths downfall Of your institutions. And again. you
have daily papers full Of vsperaons against THIS country,
which rspSssent the illberaly of the Engsn journals OF
which we are complaining the general tone and ieens o.
England and say that England endeavofng to bring about
the destruction Of America which portion OF her press prog
no,caies These things aided BY an ingenious turning o.
every tas immediately explainabe into source Of dis
trust work upon many persons until they traitor to Anne

has not any ascertaned object and upon your modes

clear that he who runs may read" Mr.. GsoRoE THoMr
soss visit to The United sae and his mpenent babbngs
abou. slavery and the fugitive slave BILL have been msgn6ed
into undue importance on your side Of the Atlantic He has
been elevated into an emssay Of the British Government
and his rhspsodes regarded the sentiments Of the British
Cabinet and although such false ideas cannot have taken
wide and deep the American mind, they have been
seduously os.ered by designing demagogues in one coun
and reechoed and vouched for by their mschefmskng abes
tors in the other From like these, aided BY private
communications Of similar description, and originating id
similar motives has American friend derived bis impress
oos that the British Government is deliberately plotting the
severance Of the American Union The mode Of accomplish
ing this end is stated to be BY melting the aboltonss Of the
North into crusade against slavery and the fugitive bill and
BY making the citizens Of the South dissatisfied with the
compromise measures Again. the North are to be induced
to insist upon high protective tariff for the benefit Of their
manufactures and the South to demand abolition Of all
duties for the benefit Of their Materials This latter
piece Of machinery to be worked nays it is workings
say our creduous friends by Mr. CoBDEa and his
Of the Manchester school But arises the question, Cu
bono? What party in power or out Of power in England
what class Of the people, either proectonists or eeaders
what division Of England, commercial agricultural or manu-
acung proposed to benefit by this destruction Of Ame-
rican unity We have asked these questions and
e rIo
have lately met and have obtained that
is worth committing paper We challenge reply being
well convinced that the merely selfish interests alone Of every
class Of the British public whether POLITICAL social CONNER
ca manufacturing, agricultural better promoted and
protected by the present happy and prosperous Of
America than they possibly could be under any other
eut whatever. And further venture that in
one action Of the existing British Government ope
tence Of its public in expression Of its public
men, can scnta Of evidence be found that unkind feel
ing exists towards the United States their institutions
whilst among the people Of England there is warmth Of
gard an unsophscaed sentiment Of respect and esteem, Of
kndness and bothey association growing up towards their
American eow-men, which nothing wanting to perfect
and indssouby cement but continued intercourse, eer in
terchange Of idess and frequent reciprocity Of good
Offices and the common charities and amenities Of social LIFE
The statesmen and politicians Of both countries des-
rous Of nothing much international laws between the
two countries as free and unrestricted consistent with
