The London Times ON Slavery.

The London Times of the 18th has SECOND
leader on the Presidents message, in which it lee
lures American statesmen and the National Con
gress on their duty to inaugurate policy for the
"a eventual emancipation OF the slaves 1t is the
most difficult thing in the world to make foreign
ers understand that the federal government of the
United States Is one of delegated powers for com
mon purposes, and that among these delegated
powers not an abolitionist pretends that there
Is any power to deal with emancipation. The
Tines, however, makes the following significant
concession to slavery:
1--WE, in the old world, make but little way in
the cure of our social evils It would i'll become
us to prescribe for slavery. The manner of our
own abolition was model for any State, least of
81 for one that had its slavery in its own bosom
30 il is admitted, as the Boston Post Justly OBJ
serves, that the policy of British emancipation,
which cost England SO many millions, is no model
for any country. E..
An important admission, and one which the ser.
vie Northern journals will delight to applaud to
the echo every abolition sentiment uttered by the
British press, can digest at their leisure

The Power of ENGLAND.

The Steele when speaking about the rumors
concerning peace, and that France would very
likely make separate one leaving England to
contend with Russia single handed, has the follow.
ing observations
ut has been lately said that England would be
greatly embarrassed If France were to retire from
the struggle; if France, having done her work in
The Black Sea, and secured the Mediterranean
from Russian eneroachment. were to sign q sepa
rate treaty of peace. Now, in the first place. any
such conduct on the part of France would be some
thing not to be supposed. 1t would be contrary to
her history, her habits, and her genius. But il
would be a very serious mistake to suppose that
England would be impotent even if she were isols
ted Doubtless In losing our alliance she would
icSe a support not to be replaced But what eould
kG sls do against her In the present state of her
ornaments, England even while keeping I'M a
strong bioekading fleet In the Euxine and largely
providing for the service of her establishments In
every sea, would be able TO oppose TO the Russian
meet in the Baltic force vastly superior VIII ether

their fellows 1t Is declared by almost all French
raen that the Republican party is the strongest In

be q war in twenty-four hours. None such are
pretended, and even il those instances where e
have cause TO complain the public sentiment Of
her people, Ii II has any influence over her govern
ment, will induce her to render full justice The
greatest cause of complaint which the L. States
really have against Great Britain is one which we
cannot prove against her. and therefore cannot
make it casus beili II is that for years she has
fonented the agitation Of the abolition subject in
this country for no other earthly purpose than to
divide the Union, and annihilate the manufactnr-
ing and commercial greatness Ct the Northern
States We are surprised that the sagacious peo-
pie of that section do not perceive that this is the
real purpose of Great Britain. and that, in the
event of disunion, il is not the South, but the
North, which will be the sufferer. England can
not dispense with the cotton of the South that
cotton cannot be produced without slave labor
and when the Union shall be dissolved, the veil
will drop from the false prophets face, and We
shall hear no more of England's adherence OF
slavery. But, we have before said, we have no
right to go TO war with Great Britain on mere sus
picion of plotting the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the con-
federaey, and if the North chooses to be in
srurnent in her hands for that purpose it is not for
the South TO sound the war cry.
