HOW EUROPE E.H: REeARDs OUR
The country finds itself stared in the lace |
by war with England and expresses as
tonisEpient. But why should We be
amazed2 The threatened collision with
Great Britain is one Of the inevitable fruits
of the policy Of protecting slavery while
trying to try to save the Union.
Rejecting men predicted months ago
that We should become embroiled this win
ter with Great Britain from the do-nothiug
course our Administration and Generals
were pursuing. All Europe sees why ourar-
mics obtain little success, and comprehend
perfectly, the reason Of the feebleness with T
which the war is prosecuted They under
stand that our rulers are afraid Of hurting |
slavery, and consequently cannot be in |
earnest in the prosecution Of the war. EV-
cry sensible man in Europe admits that our /
Government can put down the rebellion |
whenever it employs the necessary means at
its command, and resolutely sets about the
work. But it is felt that the war has been
conducted on pro-slavery principles, and
that the safety Of slavery concerned our
generals more than the preservation Of the
Union A leading London paper declared,

This is the universal feeling in Europe
and it is idle to expect that the sympa-
thies Of the masses will be enlisted on our
side, while the war continues to be conduct
ed on pro-slaTery principles Europeans
sec TINT the secessionists are IN savage
earnest, and fight murderously, because
| they have fixed idea for which they fight,
anfa that Is, the establishment Of q Slave
Empire, hence, their campaign is fire and
| sword. European people perceive that the
North is intent on conducting the war in
the way best calculated to inflict the
least possible injury on slavery,
under the absurd notion Of re-
storing the statats quo ante 6ez]uaa, bringing
back the rebels and slaves in the same rela~
tive condition Of owner and "property"
as before the war. The people Of Europe
have no sympathy and little liberation, for
such programme. They would rather sec
the Great Republic dismembered than to
have it restored half free and half slave.
