Their deeds gave them wealth and titles; and
they went home to be eventually succeeded BY
the Dowbs Of England. These have enjoyed 1t
for nearly two generations; aad just now they
we're on the point of losing it, In the emergen-
cy the yeonan heroes Of England have been
called in. The Hsvelocks and Colin Campbells
bad grown gray in fighting their country's bat
ties for fifty years, but no honors or rank came
to them. The Dowbs displaced them every
where. Some Of them have fallen on the field
of their new glory, and those who have not are
hampered by aristocrstic civilians who are
placed over them. The late advices from India
show how gallantly Sir Colin Campbell. Sir
Hugh Rose and their companions are leading
their forces; but ii is evident that their wisdom
does not control and harmonize the English
element>in India. Lord Canning and his coun-
Gil of aristocratic nonentities are still supreme
at Calcutta.
II is clear to US that the re-conquest of India
must be effected by placing the civil and mill
tary power there in one hand. 90 that there
eha!l be unity of opinion and of action. The
whole Of the British element in that region
must be directed by one will. Unfortunately
this element is small in consequence of the
policy pursued by the East India Company.
That vast monopoly refused to open India
to English migration. Wherever an Eng
lishman presented himself to settle and
work out competency by his own in
dustry, the officers Of the company were
his greatest and worst enemies. The fruit
of this policy is now felt and the future of the
British empire there mus! be secured by an en-
tirely different course. The yeoman Of Eng
land must be called in to re-conquer and the
artizans TO hold India. Under freedom Of in
dividual enterprise her rivers will 5000 TEEN
with steamers her expanse be crossed by wheel
roads and carriages; her marts abound in me-
chanical appliances all superior to the capaci-
ties of the black native races, and all in the
hands of the whites, giving them everywhere q
moral as well as physical power over the coun-
try.
In all this the yeomen Of England have a
mighty work to perform. The feeling Of loyal
submission has, in fact, to be restored to the
bosoms of one hundred and eighty millions of
men. While it is being carried out, Englands
hands are tied for every European war. She
cannot send her legions to India and to the Con-
tinent at the same time; and until she has recon
quered the former, che cannot regain that moral
influence in Europe which she has 80 long exer-
cised, and which is now in danger of being over
thrown by the Hindooe. Should, however, a
junc,ure arrive in Europe that might compel
her to draw the sword there, too, as is not i'm
probable, she can look to US for support. Our
government would not, perhaps, undertake o
war but We have legion Of soldiers, schooled
to conquest ON the plains of Mexico, that will
undertake the restoration of her power in India
by contract, and leave her own armies free fol
any other field. They are soldiers by choice
and taste. as well as by profession; and If Grea
Britain will only provide the money, which sh'
can easily do, they can take fifty or hundred
thousand Americans to India in six months
These would solve the Indian problem in 9
twelvemonth.
