The Inflammation Of Yankee Doodle at the
unexpected turn of affairs in England is de
lightfui to behold. IF there is anything es-
pecially reverenced by that order Of Doodle
which new has control of the neighboring Ft-
public, it is the English press and aristoerac, :.
New England, especially, has been more cleo.

B,LL than ever spaniel was by the caress of
master. Considering that the country was
originally settled by the Interest enemies and
rebels with whom Great Britain ever had to
eontend-that it was mostly Puritan, with but
slight admixture Of the Cavalier stock--it
is perfectly miraculous to see the adulation
and sycophancy Of every thing English which
has of late been universal among the "Sons oil
the Pilgrims" Mrs. HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE
must be nearly dead by this time from a SOFT

Of the foulest misrepresentation OF Southern
character, and systematic pufiery OF their

Finally. WIZ. H. SEWARD, having left the JOHN
BRowN train in good condition for an ex-
plosion during bis absence, went to England
| to clinch matters, was invited to Royal and
ducal tables, and came back to America with
| tho full conviction that he had the whole
world-at least the American part of it
| in sling; and that, if the South rebelled
against its Northern master he would reduce
| il to quiet in "sixty days" and England would
| shout and hurrah and cheer him on to our
| destruction.
JONATHAN has been reckoning, as we long
| ago warned him. without his host. We have
l,bored for years in vain to impress upon that
self-confdent individual that, though he Is
very smart, he s, as the witty Mr.. LTrTIMER
would observe, very youhS' Nieat Diiath
il country so old in years and mature in ex.
perience that the whole of JoSATHAS's lifetime
is with her but a single day and yet this
ignorant Doodle supposed that this ancient
and sagacious empire did not see through hi'
| little tricks and comprehend his artful dosges
and permit him to suppose that he wa:
| using her for his purposes, whilst in reality he
was but clay in the hands of the potter. A
nation has to live Il great many years before
it becomes as wise in council and consummate
in diplomacy as the Government of England

powerful Government on the face of the globe
manifested by the Northern press at the course
of England, especially the debate in the House
of Lords, in which all the speakers recognize
the South as equally belligerent with the
priyateers is denounced as shocking to civil
zation. If they will only keep cool, they will
learn good deal from that debate. TheJ
must admire the dignity and courtesy which
especially in the Parliament of England, anC
they may learn that when they give way t.
their tempers, and deal in such abuse ant
vituperation US is common to their rostrun
| and press, they are only demonstrating tina
| they do not understand the spirit and are in
| capable of the manners of gentlemen. This i
| a small matter, we know, but it may improv
| their style at the next session of Congress-
| Moreover, they must see from the apprehen
sions expressed by various speakers in tina
debate, there is very considerable danger tina
| large numbers Of English privateers will b
| after their commerce with sharp stick, an
| that the English Government will not expec
them to be treated as pirates. More i'm
portant than all, all the speakers concur i
representing the South as belligerent power
and the whole weight Of the debate clearl
shows that England will sooner or later thro'
her ponderous shield upon the side of the Con
federate States. Now, it is perfectly useles
for JONATHAN to be hectoring JoHN BULL, G
he is doing at this moment and expecting tia
Commodore SrRINGHAa can sink the who
British Navy and Gen. DAN. SIcKLKs overru
Canada. We venture to say that England wi
not be intiHidated by these menaces. 1t
more probable that, in the event of q war wit
England, the Northern States will be crushe
to jelly between the upper and neither mil
| stones of Canada and the South, that til
whole U. S. Navy will be sunk and capture,
and every Northern city on the Atlantic sea
board bombarded and burnt up, than that tt
North could make an impression equal to ii
puncture of pin upon any vital point of II
British Empire. Instead of making herse
ridiculous by puerile threats and grimaees, 81
would better heed the counsels of the wise an
good men in her midst of the VALLANDINt
HAMS and the PIERCEs, and deSist from tn
most vindictivc, unnatural and diabolcal wal
for it is as certain as the rising Of to- morrow
sun, if the South can show that she can mali
tain her position, and cannot be conquered
the North, England and France will St
that our ports are open, will recognize our il
dependence, and will compel the North TO Ike,
, the peace.
