The English Press on the Settlement Of the
Enlistment DifficuLty

We have the details of the European news
received at Quebec by the steamer North
America. The London Times, referring to the
announcement in Parliament that her Majes.
tvs government had concluded not to dismiss
Mr.. Dallas; remarks:
"Could they with propriety send back the
American Minister, when the American gov
ernment had brought themselves to aver that
they had on this point no quarrel with our
government, but only just cause for offence
with its agent? Could they with propriety
suspend diplomatic intercourse with a COVERT
ment which expressed a strong desire to con-
tnue it, notwithstanding alleged provocation
to the contrary? At all events, could they
not, without loss ofhonor, accept the ovcrtures
of peace made to soften painful but inevitable
act of offence? Undoubtedly the American
government has carefully so put the matter
that our dismissal of its Minister would be
more than retaliation. It would be returning
the blow, and giving a deaf ear TO the mild
tones that explained it. We were at liberty
to interpret the hand by the voice. or the voice
by the hand Government has taken the fer
mer alternative. 1t is, after all, the safer
course.
"ln saying that the United States govern.
ment has adopted half measure, and that
our government mas met it more than hall
WY; in admitting that both sides has right
10 do what they have done the one without
giving offence, the other without loss of honor
we do not for one moment blink the fact that
the result, so far, is anything but fattering to
the pride of this country. If there are any
people in the United States capable of gratiti-
cation at the fact we certainly have been
touched IN our honor, and we submit with as
much grace as we can to what all feel an insult
We have no disposition to slur over that fact
for we are not without hope that the British
people will be rather less liable TO this species
of ANNOYANCE for the future"
"The Daily News takes it for granted, aftel
the declaration made by Lord Palmerston il
the House of Commons, that all danger OF Q

The New York DnY Book.

We very much doubt if there 10 another
paper in the Union which has gained so great
and so well deserved a popularity as this pa
per in so short time. The history Of the
Day Bool, is peculiar. When we first became
acquainted with 1t, it was Webster whig pa
per-a paper following that great statesman.
mainly in his love for the constitution and the
Union. Those familiar with the sayings of
Webster during the last year of his life: will
not have forgotten his frequent lamentations
for the desertion of the whig party from the
ancient faith. They will not have forgotten
his prophetic words to >hoatc. A few days
before his death, he sent messenger TO the
great barrister, of Boston. "Tell him." said
he, "tell him that the whig party Is dead. 1t
has no principle left it but ambition of power"
His words were true. The election of 80,
left nothing but here and there scatteeed reg
irent of the old ARMY. Its leaders were dead,
politically, and those who still had an niu-
ence, began to cast about for Some other con.
nection. From the whig party, in the North,
have sprung Know Nothingism and Black Re.
publcanisni The cause of these things is
found n the fact, that of the great and hon.
est leaders of that party, two were no more,
and others had become disguised with polit-
icaI life. There were none left in activity
but demagogues-men who sold themselves
for office men who would have sold them.
selves as readily to Democracy as to Know
Nohingismi if that party would have stopped
to the purchase.
In this slate Of things; the Day Book, for
some time, occupied an independent posi-
ton. Up to this time, its circulation was
exceedingly meagre, probably its weekly edl'
ton hardly numbered more than four or five
thousand copies. On looking about and care
fully studying the parties, the editor was not
long in coming to d conclusion. He had al
ways been devoted to the maintainance of
Southern rights. He saw but one party with
which, In these points, of a sacred regard to
the constitution and the rights ofal the mem
bers of the confederacy, he could cooperate.
That was the Democratic party, then and now
holding the reins of Government. The Day
Book became an ardent supporter of the ad-
ministration of Franklin Pierce. As such, it
has still continued. By reducing its price, in
clubs of twenty, to one dollar per copy, it is
placed within the reach Of everybody. Its cir
cu!ation has accordingly increased, until Its
weekly issue cannot be far short of forty thou.

The Day Book is paper that every south
erner, and especially every democrat, should
subscribe TO, and read-Columbia Democrat.
