MIR. SENATOR cLINGMAN AND THE. UNION

There is no better way that think of, by
which TO correct Mr.. Senator Clngmans impressions
Of The article of the Union referred to by him. than
to say very frankly, that he is all wrong. If Mr.
Clingman has a mind to be critical and fautfnding
we advise him sincerely to hunt out real offender
the next time if he is at all candid, he will admit
on second reading, that we never thought of inyok-
lug European intervention III American affairs
any terms whatever. indeed we undertook to show
that intervention was impossible and how Mr.
Clngman could have inferred that we looked to Eng
land for aid we cannot comprehend. But the sena-
tor from North Carolina Is very young in his new
position, and doubtless Overlooking with patriotism
and confident Of his counny's prowess, was ready
to silence every thought Of looking to our "hered
tary enemy for aid against threatened invasion from
the executive of France" At all events we hasten
to the relief OF the senator assuring him that we
are wholly with him in the conviction that England
is far more dependent upon this country than we
are upon England !; and that was precisely the idea
we undertook TO convey to Mr.. Cngman and others,
in the article referred to- We there said that Great
Britain, as the sole Gmportant) representative Of
constitutional government in Europe, dare not join
the absolutisc governments of the Continent against
the pretensions of the United States; for that
would if successful, build up power in her rear
which would not only threaten the stability of
her own rule, but give most dangerous prominence
to the enemies Of democratic governments through
out the world. 1t was Engand's danger, not ours,
that were speaking Of 1t was England that need
ed our protection--we, farther Off did not how
we could require aid from any quarter. Mr. Clngman
