Through the medium of your able and fearless journal
be leave call the attention Of my countrymen, and
especially those Of the North and East to the designs cf
England against the American Union.
Born and educated in the North and having ever been
ardent admrer and supporter OF those great champions
OF American industry, Webster and Clay, it cannot be
supposed that have any undue sympathy for the South
But cannot but regard with doubt and apprehension the
effect mistaken agitation Of the subject OF slavery
the Northern States; and my anxiety has been greatly
increased by the confidence which exists here, among
politicians OF every shade and class that the days Of the
American Union numbered; and regret to say that
that belief greatly strengthened after the arrival
in England of the distinguished New York Senator.
When it is remembered that England expended more
than seven hundred million dollars in the attempt to sub
jugate the colonies when is remembered that secret
ceties organized in certain Northern States by
British agents during the of 1872 for the purpose of
making diversion against our arms; when
/, is remembered tnat large SUNS of Money were
furnished from Great Britain for the purpose
OF sending and arms to Kansas during the unfortu
nate struggle in that Territory; when Is remembered
that during the Crimean England, through her Nj
mister Washington and her Consus at New York. Boston,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati, in contempt Of laws
secretly enlisted troops to fight against Power friendly
to the United States, and that when charged with
the offence, said Ministers and Consus solemny
denied all par tcipaton in said ensments, even
after their guilt had been established In the federal courts
when is remembered that after Great Britain had dis
avowed the action of Mr.. Champion in consequence Of
which he was dismissed from Washington she appointed
him Minister to ST. Petersburg thereby giving the lie
TO her disavowal Of his conduct-when all these
things remembered, no should be surprised

In such state OF things, Northern manufactures would

possessing these advantages both Northern shipping and
Northern manufactures must cease to exist But what
advantages would tho South from such alliance?
All that she could desire The fleets OF England would
