EINMENT CENoWLEDGED AS DEKAcT0.
From tic London Post May ~
b!r, Seward, II despatch wlich recently
appeared In tho American papers, has an.
nnnuced, with c4usa elesr3ess :tnd emphasis,
the discrimination Of President Lincoln not
ing ccmpsct, but to enforce the authority Of
the certia1 government cTen ut the risk and
cost Of az snc-y and ToEg protrnc.ed civil WaT.
Facts are stubborn things, and when we learn
By the last adricea that nine States have actu-
ally seeded, certainly something more Is re-
quisite to prove the tndissolutility OF the
Union than the brave words OF NE Seward
The document to which we allude IS . dispatch
addressed by the American Secretary OF State
to TIE American Minister at Paris. r
Recognition Of the Southern Confederncy by
The great powers Of Eurcpe would give an
atatiuu greater than the elects Of The most
brilliant military success: Fog the purpose
Of avoiding any danger Of this kind, the
American Minister at Paris spoke to n. Thou
ytnel on the subject, who, in reply, stated that
no application had been made by the Confed-
pendence, and that tho government of tho
United States might rest assured that no
hasty or prseipitate actioa on the sub1sct
Tcu:d be taken 1e1, BY the EmRsroF; RS Pat Y Y
practice ard usage Of the present century had
Irlly established The right of dc tacko govern
m6uis to recognition when q proper case Was
made out for The decision Of foreign powers"
If we refer TO tie ca7es Of Greece and Turkey,
md Holland and Belgium, We find that both
united il, G compact more close :thau
any iedesatiEe compact Tho recognition of
the thirteen North American colonies by
france, and tte recognition Of Mexico and the
South American provinces formally hell by
Spain, furnish rule which the government Of
etstenry, afford to disregard. Neither : m
France nor in this country will any hasty de-
c;sion be pronounced; but the lime is rapidly
arriving when the question must be consid-
cred; Jor no one at the present tine caa doubt or
question tie de tacto independence Of he Southern
States. As m exposition of the waxlfke policy
OF tie Federal Government, Mr. Stewards des-
patch is worthy: Of deep and careful conaidera-
non; but It would have been better timed,
and more likely to have produced some effect,
If it Lad beGu written on the 4tl Of March,
and not on the 4th Of A{ay; when separation,
to human sptcuiationiI appears to he melan-
cLc1y but accomplished fact =
THE UNION.
