England and Che Confederate States.


England and the Confederate States.
Apprehensions that England would take part
With the South in its rebellion against the Gov
ernmeEt, existed in the minds Of many. III conse
quence Of certain articles that appeared in the
London Times. Thess fears are entirely erouni-
less-thc pas: history and the present position oe
lie British Government in regard to slavery utterly
forbid any Interference in favor Of people, whose
whole action is based on the principle, that Slavery
is The ioimal csndit.cn II The labcring classes and
that capital should own labor.
The London Morning Star, an Influential English
paper in a recent Article on the su iacf, declares
emphaticay that s.thc Northern States, Of the
American Union need feel no apr, hensiop, that
England is anxious TO recognize The inder endence
ot the Southern Confcdcracy. Such a St. . would
be in the xistng st@ts Of affairs, alike repugniat
10 cur feelings and antagouistic to our ideas of
wise policy" On the contrary this journal in-
sists that their natural attitude is one Of strict
neutrality, aid that their searnest personal good
wishes with those who are battling against the
spread of slavery And in urging the rrcprietr
Of this position, it gives uttcrance to this obvious
truth, that '.the idoiatry of The savage does not in
dicate lower conception Of the attrfbu.es of the
Almighty, than the dogmas OF men who hold that
slavery forms part of the Christian dispensaffonu .
IL would be well if some OF the people Of the
North, who claim not only to be highly educated
and We'll informed, but also to be thoroughly en-
ightened ia regard to the truths of the Christian
faith, should come up to the high standard of mo
rails that seems TO control this secular Journal
We have. we are sorry to say, even in The North
elm States, and in our own midst, some who be-
iieye and teach that the slavery Of the Southern
States is Divine institution, and ought therefore
to be sustained by Christi1n people
