trust, and, possibly, to pave the way to uncon-
ditlenai submission to Abolition rule, plumber and
desfadatlon, under Lincoln. This, of course, is
matter OF utter lmposslblity, but the effort shows
me feeilngs which control those whose conduct we
denounce, and which merits universal reprobation.
me next day another dispatch was published,
founded on an article in the New York Times
which said that " a letter from member Of the
British Government to q distinguished American,
states authoritatiyely that Lord John Russell
brought secession and defective clearanees before
the Ministry, who declared that England would not
recognize the Southern Confederacy but would do
everything to dscountenance disunion,'
Now, although these reports are sheer balder.
dash in point of fact they are nut forth with such
boldness, that they are calculated to produee an
unfavorable impression, temporarily at least. with
out they are promptly exposed. and the seal If
falsehood intellectually affixed upon them. Broader
and balder untruths were never promulgated thon
are contained in the dispatches alluded to- Tn the
first place, no Hmember of the British Govern
mentH would disgrace himself by diyulgine Cabi
net secrets. Detection would not be difficult and
everlasting ignominy would follow detection. Tn |
the second place, there have not been, nor are |
there likely to be, any defective clearances" of
which the English Cabinet will have any reason to |
complain Their ships, coming and going, have |
not been interrupted, nor will any interruption be
permitted by the Confederate States of the South |
As long as this state of things continues it is rea.
sonable to presume that John Bull will be amply |
satisfied, particularly as new and profitable ave
nues of trade are about being opened. The
English want our cotton and other products. and
we want their manufactures, and many other arti.
cles produced and fabricated in the fast anchored
isle.' They want to buy from and sell to us. and
we want to sell to and buy from them; and as we
propose to remove many of the restrictions which
have heretofore hampered commercial inter.
course, it is not at all likely they will refuse A
trade which will prove mutually and vastly bene-
fetal. It would be calling in question the undis-
puted good sense of the statesmen of Great Britain
to suppose for an instant that they woald be guilty
OF such an act 81 unmitigated folly.
In the third place, the statement of the New |
ork Times, geographically reported, that " Eng
lana would not recognize the Southern Confede-
facy not emitted to the slightest credence.
