A+t;tr1da OF ENGLAND.

That there has always. since the acquisition
Of our independence been virus Of envy and
hatred against rs lurking in the spirit of the
English aristocracy, can scarce be doubted
The success Of the colonies against the power
Of the mother country in seven years strug-
gle was as humiliating to King George the III,
aud the nobility, as it was marvellous and un-
expected Had it not been that the Lord was
on our side,n now may America say-'had it
not been that the Lord was on our side, our en-
enios would have swallowed us up quickly."-
But the Lord was on our side, and this fact
gives US courage and hope in the present strug
gle for we cannot for a moment believe that
the Lord aided Us in eur revolutionary strug-
sle for the purpose Of deYoting the western
continent to all the enormties and desolation Of
denominations involved in American slavery
Now that civil war has broken out in. our coun-
try the British aristocracy have rare opportuni
ty TO manifest the garn cred and gangrened BIT
teruess they have fostered The Times, the or
gan Of the aristocIaay, clearly shows how it
feels towards US. How would it have liked
similar treatment under similar circumstances?
Let it howl-barking in i'll nature is an exer-
erse in which most dogs engage, whether they
be lap dogs or i'll bred mastifs and let the
''hanimalsn bark on Being parked at by such
dogs shows that game Of vast dimen-
sions, and is the price of real greatnes and un-
rvalled power. In spite Of all Europe, we can
manage our own afflirs in our OWE way-there-
fore we say again-howl on while the gene
rous millions Of common people and many of
the most honored and gifted of England, are in
heart with us. We should think there was GER
tainly some mistake in the matter if the Times
and the ultra ari5tocracy were with US in this
war as much so as if Satan and his legions
were on our side Wilberforce, in his more
than twenty years struggle for British West In
dian emancipation had to contend with the
Times and its sympathizers, and we cannot ex-
peot less lie succeeded and so win the Free
States.
