Where are The South's Northern
Friends4

Echo answers where? The ingratitude
nnd treason Of the South have made them
enemies. Thousands had labored and
prayed for united North, but who ex
pected to see it so soon
"Alas," exclaims the Charleston Ner.
carp, "for our Northern friends. Where
are Mcssrs. fillmore, Everett, Winthrop.
Gushing, Butler and Hallett. of Boston
Van Buren,, Cochrane, McKeon, Weed

are they, in the bloody crusade proposed
by President Lincoln against the South
Unheard of in their dignifed retirement

themselves joining the noble army ol

South The New York Herald, but yes
terday denouncing the bloody disunion-
ism Of President Lncoln's Adminsra-
ton now declares triumphauiIy that the
whole North is of one party. and that
party isIo conquer and subdue the South" ."
The Charleston Courier sorrowfuly
asks-"Where are Caleb Cushing, and
Mayor Wood, and Edward Everett, and
Dickinson, and host of others who
affected admiration and love for their
Southern brothers The mask has
dropped from the faces of them all their
lyns tongues once more utter truth They
despair oil bringing US back by mild per.
suaslve arts, aad they proclaim their du.
pllclty and treachery in tie ears Of the
world, seemingly all unconscious of the
infamy.
Gus they always hated il was our
gold they loved. Their ledgers, not ,heir
Bibles, taught them to love the Southerner
And 1t is TO got back our gold that they
threaten us with fire and sword"
Slavery makes the Secessionists stran,
gers to gratitude, and regardless OF all
rights but their own. Accustomed to
command while slaves obey their lightes;
word, there is no sacrifice, however great,
which freeman could make for their ben
eft, that they would not accept as right,
without one grateful emotion. They rec.
ognize no Northern man as their friend
who presumes TO be their equal, and de
nounce as hypocrites all their former
Northern allies who will not join them il
the work Of destroying the Government, o
our Fathers. WelImay they ask, "Where
are our Northern friends ?"

Consul General Giddings.

The following complimentary notice Of
Hon. J. X. Giddings, occurs in the Mon
lreal correspondence OF the New York
World, under date of May h
Many applications have been received
from The North for arms, but those be
longing to Government cannot be sent
away, and the kind in market are not
suited for military purposes. The ap.
poiniment OF the Hon. Joshua r. Giddings
as U. s. Consul General has been received
with universal satisfaction. He is now
here, and as soon as recognized by the
British Government, will open his Office
and hoist the star spangled banner. No
man is better fitted 20 represent the
American nation at the present time
His thorough legal knowledge nnd his
twenty five years Of political experience
eminently fit him for the office. while his
venerable appearance and his, dignifed
and courteous bearing cannot fail 10 win
for him the respect Of all those who have
intercourse with him.

j.. Phelps, who is a son of Judge Phelps, of
ibis village, has boen at Washington most OF
the time for throo months past, and is
probably now engaged ia tho bIockadng
service. Ho was one of those officers of tho
Navy who performed tho painful duty of
destroying the Government property at
Norfolk. Having sorvod with fidelity for
years, and discharged many important
trusts, TO say he is "ono Of tho most c(Ticiont
officers in tho Navy" is but simple Justice.
Though dePrccating civil war, and tho
necessity Of taking up arms against ormor
associates and friends, no has too honorable
nature to shrink from any duty or sacri.
fice in behalf Of his country's flag, and wo
are assured that he is for maintaining tho
Government at all hazards.
II is shameful fact that, whilo tho
Southern ingrates remained in tho service
oil the Government. they wore allowed TO

OFFERS OF AID TO THE GOVERNMENT
The Government, says Washington tel
egram, continues to be overwhelmed with
offers of naval aud land forces for service
against the rebels. Prominent men from
all parts of the country are constantly

aid. Over fifty vessels have already
been offered from the New England
States, 10 be armed and equipped a, the

A special dispatch to tho New York
Erenirg POH says;
The Government has received nGyiccs
from London, which afford satisfactory in.
Siicatons Of tho line of policy which will
bo pursued by tho British Govcrnmont to-
ward tho secoded States. Tho Administra.
tion ontertnins firm conviction that its
course in crushing out tho rebellion will bo
fully sustained in England.
Tolegrapbic rumors arc so contradictory
that little reliance can bo placed upon
them, yet wo believe the above to DO sub.
Btantially truo. If England does not sus-
tain tho Administration in its efforts to Put
down rebellion, we have right to expect
that she will not nterneddlo with our ma.
tional affairs until the contest has been de-
cidod.
Judging from tho wc,.known Anti Slavery
character of the English people. or the
principles of international law, there should
bo no doubt on this subject; but, unfor-
tunately, nations, as we'll as individuals. are
selfish, and tho bravado of the Cotton Lords
may have nm undue influence upon tho sen.
sitive capitalists of England.
All that loyal Americans ask Of European
Govornmonts, is, to observe strict neuirlli.
ty, and await the issue. Thoy will thon see,
If thoy do not now, that thoir interests, as
we'll as ours, domand the maintenance OF
tho American Government in its integrity.

journals, in their ignorance of American
affairs, may, respecting tho bugboar of cocr.
cion, thero is not ono European Government
that.would permit rebellion against its
authority, like that now in progress in this
country, cost what it nigh. to ropross it,
Will they ask the American Government
to be so self'sacriicing f.? If thoy do, it is
simply because it he's already borno so
much from traitors as to forfeit the respect
of oil other Governments,

ecuiing that decision, is not only without
authority Of law, but is downright treason.
1t is treason for any person TO give aid or
comfort to public enemies. To sell yes
sells TO them, which it is their purpose to
use as ships Of war. is to give them aid
and comfort. To receive money from
them in payment for vessels which they

to convert unlawful seizures into sale

Government would not hesitate TO bring
