Fsreigu Optnisns Or the war.

articles from foreign papers which show a great
deal Of just feeling for the South and fair

character Of the war of Invasion of the South,
and the diabolical sentiments Of those

English and French journals for some time
past which has grown more positive and IN

waive their schemes of suhjugaton of the

Saah war, it commended, would result in a
triumph by the American allies, who, by taking
| Canada and other British and some French
| possessions, would each have more territory
| than they had in common when united under
| the ola Union
The course of the Northern press has been
| singular. At the beginning of the war they
specuated upon the probabilities of getting
| help from England and France, and especially
| from Canada, whence it was declared men and
arms were coming with alacrity to aid in put
ing down rebellion. 1t was contcmptbly
mean and cOwardly thus for a people, claim
ing to be so much superior in men and means
to their Southern adversary, to lock about for
the prospect Of and from powerful nations TO
| secure their triumph. They appealed most ur-
| gcnly 10 nationalities Of all kinds and daily
| announced the formation Of Regiments OF ali
nations to DIN the great crusade 10 overrun,
suhjugate and desolate the South. Some OF
these regiments were altogether fictitious and
| never were raised, especially the boosted
British regiment 10 New York. nor did Cana
da fulfill their expectations. They were yet
more deceived by foreign public sentiment;
| and now the atrocioas editor of the Nearld
proposes, what would be very accept
able, no doubt, to the Northern mind,
that the North aud South should com
bine 10 fight England and France
1t would indeed be grateful to the people of
the North to see the chiyarous Southrons once
more lighting for housekeeping them cheered
| by their constancy and bravery in a war for
| their benefit, las were the two wars with Great
Britain and afterwards to live and grow rich,
and fat, and sleek, upon the fruits of South
ern industry. ENSErT's suggestion but es-
| presses the "armest desire of the Northern
heart, but the Northern people are smart
enough to know that it could never be accom-
| plished. They know how unloyeable, how
inexpressibly detestable they have made them
selves to the citizens of the Southern Con-
tederacy. If the South could be induced to
| fight with any nation for the behoof of that
nation, the Yankees are the very last. We
would fight as allies of the English, the
French, the Austrians, the Turks and even
the South Sea Islanders, the Feeees the
Ojibeways the Flat Head Indians, Root Dig
gers-nay, any and everybody before We
| could think of marching in arms in common
cause by the side Of the slaves of such des-
pot as ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
1t is beyond the range Of possibility that the
North can SECURE the aid of any people outside
the mercenary emigrants within their own Dor
ders to help them to subjugate the rebels of the
South. Those rebels ask no help and expect
none. They only ask that the nations of the
earth may be able to ascertain the truth of
their character, their position, and their re-
sources; and this will be brought out in the
present war for their subjugation, which will
end in their triumph and liberation from an
association with a narrow hearted, selfish,
svaricious intolerant. depraved Snd ruthless
people. The separation of the American colo
MES from the British crown, eighty five years
ago this day, was the throwing eff an ale
glance which was light and grateful compared
with the intolerabe oppression, the unendura-
bic political association with the North which
the Confederate States have thrown off and
severed forever. The war of the Revolution
was a war for the most triling and inconsid-
cradle Inconvenience compared to the grev-
anees, the insults and outrages which led to
the glorious struggle now progressing for
Southern independence.
