Sound Reasoning--Just views.

The London Record, after giving express
sion to some sentiments that are about equal
! ly condematory of both north and South,
concludes with tbe following paragraph,
which is significant Of a just appreciation of
the status OF American affairs in relai ion to
the cotton trade with England otsi aist

is stated in Lancashire that the confederate
government will not permit ths cotton to be
shipped for Europe, because they wish to
starVe our manufacturing districts, and in.

break the blockade. is calculated that in
England alone five millions Of people are de,

time to half time, till the factory gates are
of necessity closed, and the poor people left
without workiand without bread. But when
we hear whispers Of the necessity Of an arm

We may sympathize with the extrenity
which suggests suchia measure, but wemust.
