States and as State. 1t Ia for ss nobody but u.s. to
zee t. that such organization does not exist, or
is pushed to the edge, the graves brink of exist

Diplomacy and Providence are with the strongest bat
taliOns. American newspaper columns, however rhe-
tOrioaly drawn up in cheap rhetorical, swash-bucker
array Of wordy violence, do not reach tue foreign
parties" against whom they are directed. The best
effect they produce this side of the water is equally
foolish irritation; the worst and commonest, sent-
meuts of ridcue, not to say contempt We shall be
judged hereaway, and execution on judgment will be
Issued by diets, but by gestes. Like 1t or
not feeze or take it coolly that s and will be- the
irefutable fact. We might as well make up our minds
to it, and pockets TO it, and all material interests
to it, first as last.
Another thing we must make up our minds TO, unless
we obstinaely prefer to be disappointed is, that the
English and French governments have been, and are
and will be throughout, acting in concert in their
folks in either country in favor the whole of the
North This sympathy is not for an instant to be
undervaued. Its value is positive and real As real
for example, to say the least of it, the sympathy OF
the American folks ten or twelve years ago, for the
Liberties of Hungary and the French Republic. What
those sublimaied sympathies amounted to when run
through the diplomatic alembic Of Washington, Hun
gan and French liberal patriots tell our suddenly
forgetul, illogical, anti-Angcsn home patriots.
What would you English have thought and said, ex-
claims the really able and patriotic New York cor
respondent of The London Times pray, note that The
London Times is independent enough in its own
strength to publish whatever Bancroft, Davis or hsto
ran Motley or Cassius Clay soLds to it's ORcel-what
would England have thought and said If we had de-
cared neutrality and recognized the insurgents as
belligerent power in the great Indian rebellion
Would have said that you did not like it, would have
pretended not to it," would have broken out IN
newspapery eruptions of indignation. Note this: En-
gland and knowing perfectly well all the time that
we did not proclaim the Indian insurgents belgerent
power with consequent rights, simply because we, as
nation, had sspectye or prospective interest in 80

Bless your innoceuce You quarrel with England
and France for theoretically and Professionally recog-
nizng that the Secession flag floats terrific
rial half of the late United States, an extremely i'm
porant fact, which, according to last accounts re-
ceived in these parts you yourselves are forced to re-
connoiter, MOTTO ssy recognize.
Patriotism and popularity forbid that shoud for an
instant call in doubt the ability of Government
TO assert ITSELF that should consider the fact that
more than one-hsf Of its territorial domain is at this
present writing lying out of its jursdictioni that
should cherish anything like such indignation against
neutral States Of the sometime United States as
am patriotcsly bound to cherish agains, European
neutral States; that should put neutral Tennessee
for example on par with neutral France. Forevery
gbtmiuded patriot knows quite past all need of con-
Gmatory argument that foreign European neuralitysa
moral humanitarian logical and practical and political
absnrdity-wbile domestic Sate-neutralty s-heaven
and the other place only knows what in the long run,
but, meantime an interesting, philosophical dance-a-
diddeum problem lying asoak for its practical solu-
tim. Looked at historically, and at this distance, the
neutrality of any one Of our late United States Is
theoretically just much practically great deal more
an act of hostility TO the United States, than the frank
Secession of South Carolina the prudent policy of
France, England and other European powers.
Before quareling, then, with neutral France and
England never forget that they are acting In eoneert
let us fst settle our quarrel with our own neutral
Powers l. is worse than nonsense to threaten Great
Britain before we have sobdued Tennessee.
The European Powers are acting fairly toward U.S.
and 30 far as there is any code of the law of nations
legally The Spanish declaration, though radically and
in the main the same as England and France, is, 10 Tar
as mere phraseoogy goes rather more favorable to us
than either the French English procamations; and
considering the convenient proximity OF Its West India
Island ports now closed to jeff Davss priyateers, Of
considerable practical importance. Holland VIII very
soon issue al niar declaration.
Strange TO thoughtful European on-lookers, that all
this time we make no advance toward the great
decisive neutral power at home that we do not antici
nate the South and secure the AmercanAhican nation,
four miaicns strong, as allies.
We either mean or do not mean torecover our South
ern territory to preserve the territorial integrity Of the
limited States. Southern white folks mean TINT We
shall not. One would say that it was full time TO
renoupce all hopes based ON large Union sentiment
in the South that persstenty Omits to Proveit exist
ence. Itis high time also to renounce the gasconade
of the necessarily triumphant material financial, etc.
superiority of the North over the South History is al
