l Southern Dependency.


1t is alleged that Messrs. Mason and Sill
dell, of the Southern Conredcracy have
sailed for Europe with extraordinary pow
ers delegated by their Congress--said to be
no less than commission to request the
leading European powers TO assume pro-
tectorate over the scccedrd States. This,
then, is the end Of the vauntcd independ-
encc Of the Southern Coniederacy! Too
naughty to yield to the majority in our
Democratic system Of government, when
their own States had almost unlimited pow
er, they have cndeavorcd to cut themselves
off and accept the alternative Of depend
ency upon foreign powers. What fall
for pride. What an ignoble end for strut
ting chivalry.
While this alternative would be a matter
Of humiliation to the masses, there is cvi.
dcncc that numbers Of the aristocratic fam
lilies would hail it with joy. Not few
southern statesmen and editors, before the
inception Of the present rebellion have ar
gucd that the experiment Of government
by the people was a failure; that authority
should be vested in few that nature had
established a wide gulf between an Aris
tccracy and a Democracy. Is there not
room then for reasonable conjecture that
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this Republic was
sought by the dominant class of southern
population--who even now hold the bal
ancc Of power through the slave rcpresen-
tation-solely for the purpose of establish
ing a limited monarchy in the Western
world
Whatever may be the intent, it must fail
Of execution. The people of this country
strovc too hard to secure the independence
of these States, to permit them to be dis
membered and controlled in part by foreign
powers. This government will continue to
exercise its powers over all the States of
the American Republic, come veal or come
wo. If there appears anywhere to be a
lack Of severe measures in the putting down
Of our unhappy rebellion, it may be attri-
butabe to the fact that the government is
| using correction rather than chastise,nent.
Let any foreign power interfere, and twenty
five millions Of people will prove to the
world that American pluck in 81 has lost
none Of the temper of '76.

quite freely. Our quotations show severe

JrBrLANr.-Wc have read our State Re-
publican exchanges since the day of cleo
ton with no little degree of interest. Their
editors seen, to be in paroxysms Of delight,
which finds vent in spread eagles, ROSTERS,
smoking cannon, elorys, hallelujahs, vivas,
peans, etc. They declare the Union party
to be q colossal failure, assert roundly that
the Republican party was the only genuine
Union party in the field, and that Sam u-el

we'll, the versatility Of human genius, es-
pecially that portion represented by the Re-
publican press, is truly wonderful. 1t is
but few months since all of the Iowa Re-
publican papers published west Of the

longer any division of parties-that the

people Of the northern States into one com.

and the Union.

CorroN. c. Kendall, Of Maryland,
in recent lecture at the Cooper Institute,
New York, argued that two-thirds Of the
free States possess the requisite soil for the
cultivation of cotton equalling the best
Southern staple. The scarcity Of cotton,
and the great profit which accrues from its
cultivation, are strong arguments for en-
gagng in that kind of crop. We have
seen it in bloom in Wis, and the fine warm
prairies Of Iowa, it seems to US, would be
very favorable to its culture. If any of
our friends have tried its cultivation, will
they not favor us with some facts in regard
to its growth?

" arlikc Symptoms.

There are unnistakable evidences to eve
~ inquiring mind that England is p.uden-
TALLY considering the possibility Of anoth-
er war Will, the United States.
England wants cotton. The presses most
closely in sympathy with her manufactur,
ing interests declare that sho must have
cotton or her thousands Of operatives must
starve-that although she has supply
sufficient to last nearly another season, she
cannot secure enough from Egypt and the
East Indies to keep her mills running on
half time and that the U. S. Government
does not give evidence of ability to open an
American supply for her. There
fore they argue that necessity ovcrridcs all
law and impels the British power to help
herself to cotton, by breaking through our
blockadins ports. This is one symptom of
approaching difficulty. Again it is well
known, doubtless, that ever since the in
csption Of our rebellion the English govern
ment has been steadily augmenting her
military stores at Montreal, until she has
abundant material and equipments for the
support and maintenance Of an army of
5000 men 1t is also fact that her ma
val preparations for the past six months
have shown an unusual activity.
Now, we are no alarmist, but we submit
that there is abundant reason for apprehen-
sion that England contemplatcs aggression
as possible contingency, and that she is
making ready for it. On what other
hypothesis can her military movements in
Canada be accounted for? Manilestly, sh,
has no idea that her colony is to be attack
Ell by this government at this juncture.
The government we think has struck tn,
right key. Chief Totten, Of the Engincc,
department is now visiting lakes Cham
plain and Ontario with view to the i'm
provement of old works Of defense AM
the erection Of new ones A neglect to d,
less than this would seem criminal; am
while we hope and believe that England
will not assume the expense and re7ponsi
bilty Of a third war with the Unite,
States, it is best that her conduct be at
tentively scrutinized, and due prccautiol
taken 50 that we may. not be caught OF
our guard.
