Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1861-07-13

noupcipp the late war against Russia, it will
be remembered, said that there was "haPpy
sccordn between the British and French gov
ernments. which embraced not only the affairs
of the Eastern, but also those Of the Western
hemisphere This "happy accord" we now
nsrceive still exists in relation to American
affairs. and will probably be used to counter
balance any inequalities touching the affairs
of Europe, Asia and Africa as between
England and France.
The isalous watchfulnesg ami intrigues of
England for thirty years and more have been
especially directed to the dismemberment and
destruction of this overshadowing cOnfedera-
tion Of ours ana i-a republican institutions.
The United States Of America were becoming
too prosparcus and powerful; for they menaced,
st no distant day, the oyertopping OF England's
commercial supremacy, and the overthrow OF
her feudai sristccracy. Hence it became, and
has beer for thirty years, the policy ana the
nurDose of England 70 remove this dangerous
rival from her path. Hence her abolition Of
slavery ip her West India islands, her piOus
manifestations Of abolition philanthropy at
home and abroad, her abolition emissaTies to
this country, and her idOlatTous admiration Of
oTrnrla Toms Cabin.0 Madame Beecher
S.nws and the Black Swan. Ia all these in
7truuentalitIes her object has been that fatal
alienation between our northern and southern
States which has eliminated in this stupen-
dous civil war. Now, to quiet Der dangerous
neigsbor across the channel, England proposes
vita France to share the profits Of our dismem-
Der. lent, and Louis Napoleon, ,wllljDg to make
.ssBaw Of England, promises, foF his own
az .b0T purposes, that some day the "great
EUr6pesh powers" will recognize the republic
Of our southern States.
Now. what are veto dc? We have an ar
ny of three hundred thousand men in the fec
for the purpose Of suppressng the southern
rebellion We have put cur southern se8board
nnder a rigid blockade, from Norfolk to the
Mexican boundary. We have apparently,
everything in readiness for an overwhelming
and crushing campaign. The administration
at Washington, we are assured from day to
dav, will listen to no compromise until this re-
bellion s crushed and dsarmed. The armies
of the Union are ready and impatient FOR ac-
ton, and there is no more time to be lost. Mr..
Lincoln must now proceed 10 light or prepare
for a compromise. "Eagland and FraHce'
may be waiting only for pretext upon which
TO recognize our southern republic; and when
they begin to fall short in toe article Of raw
cotton, we NAV EXPECT to hear from them. For
our part, looking to these foreshadOWed Euro
pean complications, we think the time has ar
rived for defeating them by a speedy reckon
ing with our rebels in the field, or by falling
back upon Seward'se erand American continen-
tai programme Of annexation.
We can anticipate and circumvent our Euro
pean enemies By turning against them our
R0rfheTB and southern Grmies, now aTrayed !
against each other II this coalition cannot |
be effected, it win become the duty of this July
extra session Of our congress to prepare the
ways and means for decisive southern cam
paign before December, or our choice may
then lie between recognition Of the Southern
Confederacv and a wasting war OF indefinite
duration, from their hope Of an ultimate de-
liverance through the Intervention Of France
and England. This little paragraph from the
Paris Patrie and M0niieur, in its moral effect, |
will undoubtedly strengthen our southern rebel |
armies. Let our government, therefore, pre-
pare for prompt and decisive action, OF for
seasonabie compromise. We must make this
short war, OF we must change it to a union
war against our foreign enemies, or we shall
sink, North and South into the chronic condi-
tion Of Mexican anarchV.-N Y FsTG,d
