imagine the disgust of tho North in read.
Ing the Times day after day, and the Tel
egraph, the Herald, the Chronicle, and
nearly all the entire British press, ,encour-
aging the rebels on in their uuchrstian
work! England has made u mistake-a
fatal mistake: To make sure that am
not in the wrong, / am preparing book
OF opinions Of the press-ex tracts from
speeches Of members of Parliament and
the Ministry, which will prove the hostil-
lily of England against tile Federal Pow.

Mr., Bell asks, how could we have done
otherwise than remain neutral? But l
maintain that you are not neutral. When
you find two boys at blows you must not
forget that while you do not enter the
ring the more you hurrah for Bill the
stronger it makes him, and the more it
dscourages Joe. You cheer one side
continually and Hiss the other, and call it
neatrality. Hear, hear, and applause.
However. it has taught America ono les
son-tthat is, not to put her trust in prin-
ces laughter buc to rely on her own
strong arm. It has opened her eyes to
many things, but none more important
than this, namely. that England may war
with Russia, France and Austria, and all
Europe may be blazing away with the
flash Of musketly, the clang Of armor, and
the sound of cannon, without. America be-
ing affected. But when America, de.
srous Of showing off her military nature,
gets up a little national sham fight within
her own borders in three months time
with a million OF sodies, fires off d mill
ion of rifles, discharges million Of re-
yolvers, and has her artillery booming on
every HILL say, when the American
people, in the absence of foreign war, get
J up grand review and kill ten thousand
traitors on the Champs de Mars Of the Po-
tomac, all the world tremblngly stoops to
} gaze, and all the worlds commerce be-
comes deranged, Hear, hear Europe
: may fight, but America cares not. Amer.
. lea plays with fire arms to keep her hand
: in and EEopa is psle for fear, for it has
| come to pass that the commerce of the
United States with Europe sums up each
year ono hundred millions ofpounds ster.
