MIR. CRITTEN DENIS POSITION

Mr.. Crittcndcn, who has p-oa IDLY been
elected to Congress from the Lexington
District, is not Union man Of the uncon-
ditional stripe. and is AN opponent of coer-
cion. In a recent speech he thus defined
his position:
Mr.. Crittenlcn declared that, in his
Judgment. every means should be rcsortcd
to to restore the blessings of peace. to pre-
serve the Union, and to hand down uniin-
paired the noble institutions which have
come down "a Us hallowed by tho sanction
of our revolutionary fathers. To that
end he declared, first, that the Southern
States should present to Congress when
It meets, u fair statement of the grievances
under which they labor; that. when pre-
sentcl, the Congress of the United States
should promptly grant full measure Of
redress for those grievances; and that ii
Congress should not do SO, he woald not
cote one dtt,ar to the prosecution Of Tie 1ar.
In the next place, if the South should
fail to present their grievances with u
view Of adjustment, thcu that the North
should promptly concede such assurances
of redress aud security as were just to the
South; and that besides these, all other
possible means should be employed that
would have the effect of maintaining the
Union, preserving the Government, and
putting a" end to the unnatural srdr IN
rhich the county is iarolred. In the
event that all the means employed for thi>
patriotic aud noble purpose should fail,
and the war should still rage on. then be
was of the opinion that Kentucky. posing
herself upon her proud position of neu-
trality, should summon all her judg-
meut aud reason, and discarding all pas
sion and prejudice, should decide for her
ay rhat positio. she s6oald assxsse. He
declared that "suf6cisnt unto the day il

ENGLAND IN A QUANDARY.

1t is very evident from the tone OF
the British Journals, that, while the poo
pie Of England are largely in favor Of
recognizing the Solthcrn Confederacy
and seeing speedy end to the unnatu-
raj civil war now raging, they are per-
fcctly ut a loss 10 furm cnrrcct opin-
ion rs to the true state Of affairs in this
country. They are hot yet fully con vim
ced that the whole Southern Confrdcra-
cy is not political scheme, and that
1.-The rebellion" will not be fe.t,,ally 'anl
speedily crushed out" Naturally, they
do not desire to take any position which.
in case of such result, would lead to any
i'll feeling on the part of a great Re-
public who. having shown itself all pow
crful to put down the rebels might take
it into its head to cndeavor to chastisc
their sympathizrrs. The following ex-
tract which VIC clip from the Liverpool

that at present exists in their minds
and which is very natural. when We
consider that their principle sources Of

The above u from the Alexandra cor.

doubt that this Alexandris "corrcspon-

Of our county. Of this at least We arc
certain, that t. ere are several such "eor-
respondent" spies we call them-in our
midst, who are ls!orins to bring trouble
upon our people BY palming off upon the
Government just such lies as the above.
One If these wretches is said TO have
recently gone to Baltimore or Washington
to procure the arrest Of several worthy
citizens living in tho neighborhood Of
Cuckold's Creek in Patuxent district--at
least h. il reported to have declared that
such was his intention. Another scoun-
drcl in the same locality. it is asserted, has
been furnishing information that is what
their lies are called--to the Government
in regard to prominent Southern Rights

in bringing trouble upon us but just SO

FROM an expression Of sympathy Will
the aniislavcry movement ut the North III
times gone by. an: leavcn OF ancient
prejudice against the South ON account 81
the peculiar institution" the French
press has advanced gradually to a more
practical examination Of the American
question. with the causes and consequences
Of the civil war which has jus, begun. We
have authority If the Ori"ia'nc Naftona'e
fpr saying ihrt the greater part Ut the
French press, including the .henite"r. thu
government organ, have rather sneered at
the government of the Northern section OF
the United States, aud incline towards the
Southern Confcderacy. The cause assign
ed for this feeling by the Opi"i""e is
that the Southern Confcderaey has sue
cccdcd in '.gulling" the European govern
mcnts with the commercial induccmeut 1t
holds cut to them. b. this as it may, tn,
tone of the French press is very much
like that of the leading English Journals,
whose leaning is Enthusiastically hostile to
Mr.. I.incoln's war pulley. We have al
ready spoken Of the .Hv"iteur, on the au-
thori,y Of one Of the bittrrest and most
uncom y. ou,isiug enemies Ut the South in
France.
The L.urma' of Havre, a paper Of some
influence among business men, does not
believe the reconstruction Of the Union
possible, and quotes NJ. Gaillarlct's arti-
Gle i'm L., Prrsse OF late date. where he
speaks Of Mr.. Scward's declaration to
preserve 1.-the same republic, the same
constitutional Vnion," as a declaration to
continue the same causes Ut conflict. The
.E,nraH concludes that IL. reconstruction
Of the Union is neither possible nor de-
sirable.
The [onrrier dn Hare laughs at what
it calls the ''unu>ual and even completely
absurcd I.retensi.'n" Of the United States
government, when it declares that it will
hold no intercourse with amy government,
which .aay recognize the independence Of
tire Southern ConfrJeracy. The Courier
says:
We are not going to discuss the eriev-
ances complained IF by the South; VT
believe them unfoundcl; but We look ~
the principle. and We say that from the.
moment that several sov-reiga States Of
the confederation believed themselves ag-
grieved by the federal contract. they had
right 10 demand the revision or the All
nulling Of the contract. &c. The pre-
tensions if the North are nothing less than
the invoking the principle Of Divine
right; but Divine right is to" sick in Eu-
rope for US to consent to recognize it in
good health Oh the other side If the At

We refrain from Roticing the. Pays,
the course of which is notoriou>ly for
the South, and therefore remark is un-
necessary. Some of the articles in the
papers alluded 10 are very well and fo7ci-
lily written, and would repay the trouble
of reading. We have endeavored to give
simply ALI idea of the tone which pervadcs
them on the great question which now
agitatcs us; and though our notice Of each
