The English Press on the American
RebelliOn.
From the London Times.


The Americans, we are told, are
exceedingly anxious to know what
is thought in England Of their war
and their policy, now that the cam
paign has been opened by a pitch
ed battle. In one particular, but
perhaps in only one, they will be
thoroughly satisfied with our opin-
ions. Never was there a wal in
whick the people of this country
took a greater interest. We watch
with the utmost solicitude all the
proceedings of the belligerents, and
observe not only the operations Of
their armies, but the manifestations
of popular feeling, with sentiments
which no other struggle could OK
cite. We can say more. Though
it is impossible to avoid rejecting
that the division oftho Union may
relieve us from many Of the troub-
les with which we were menaced
by the o%verbcaring policy OF the
old Federal Government, we can
safely assert that Englishmen de-
sire nothing more than to see the
quarrel terminated, and the strife
appeased. We wish no harm to
either party, and would far rather
see America strong, united and
prosperous, than speculate on the
advantages which its premature
disruption might possibly bring to
its ncighbors. But when we have
said this we have said all that the
Americans are likely to hear with
much satisfaction. For the rest.
our conclusions are certainly not
favorable to those institutions un-
der which this great catastrophe
has been matured. What the
Americans call freedom, but what
we call democracy, does Lot show
to advantage at this critical time.
The theories attributing immeasu.
rable superiority to Republican
forms Of government have all beer
falsiied in the plainest and mos
striking manner, and the last sly
months have proved beyond all
question that the preponderance o.
=. popular will, without check or lin
it, is at least as likely to hurry &
nation into war and debt, as thu
caprice Of the most absolute despot
or the intrigues Of the most selfish
Of ar~istocracics.
If the reader will refer to an,
speech of any Manchester orator
he will find the Government Of tn,
United States extravagantly eulo
gized for the very qualities o
which it is now proved to be utter
ly destitute, and the Americans ex

Freedom Of Speech,

lie said -
"Sentiments lately sprung up,
andnow growing fashionable, make
it necessary to be explicit on this
point. The more l perceive a dis
position to check the freedom Of
inquiry by eXtravagant and neon
stitutional pretenscs, the irmer
shall be the tone in which 1 shall
assert, and the freer the manner in
which l shall exercise it.
at is the ancient and undoubted
prerogNtive Of this people to can.
vass public measures and the merits
of public men. 1t is q "homebred
right" a ireside privilege. 1t hath
ever been enjoyed in every house,
cottage and cabin in the nation. 1t
is not to be drawn into controversy.
1t is as undoubted as the right of
breathing the air, or walking on
the earth. Belonging to private
life as a right, it belongs to public
life as a duty and it is the last
duty which those, whose represen-
tative | am, shall find me to aban-
don, Aiming at all times to be
courteous aud temperate in its use,
except when the right itself is qucs-
toned, l shall place myself on the
extreme boundary Of my right, and
bid defiance to any arm that would

DEAR FuRNAs: There is but little to
write that win interest your readers, but
nevertheless / will try and exc out a short
communication, in which, peradventure,
something of interest may appear.
The most interesting study, and one on
which many curious s~peculations could be
based, is the present occupation and mode
Of life Of many of the Pixies Peakers,
as ~contrasted with their ~antecedents in the
States. That tall, slim, peaked.nosvd

eye peeted, and neck stretched out like a
hen after grass-hoppers, who IS cutting
wood for a dollar a day, and mining fGcr
a like sum whenhe can, was once Horace
Greeley's overseer on his farm, some
miles from New York city, and handling
large sums of money. That good-na-
tured, pleasant looking, but rather shabby
individual just going into the saloon, was,
a few years ago, part owner and clerk on
one of our lake steamers, and, as they
say out here, last worth a bushel Of
money" That litlle, m~erry-faced speci-
men of the genus homo, has travelled over
California and New Mexico, roamed all
Overthe South American States, and spent
one, if not two fortunes, and is now keep
ing bar with wages hardly sufficient for
the pecessaries of life. Your correspon-
dent is earning his board by cooking for
a couple of young shOemakers, both Of
whom have occupied stations high in the
social scale in the East, and one of them,

Il is quite diverting to witness the
course of leading Democratic papers in
the country, since the plans to assassinate
the President elect have been discovered,
and the designing perpetrators out-man-
aged. They are now disposed to laugh
it off as a "good jOke;' that they fright
ensd the President and his friends; or
charge that the Republicans themselves
raised the reports for effect. They say
if plans were on foot to ~assassinate Mr..
Lincoln it devolves upon his friends to
publish the names Of every eonspirGtor."
OF course, that would be a very easy Job.
Men who plot a~ssassinations are always
known to the public! They take pains
that their names are known to all They
60 around and "tell folks. They stand
on the corners Of streets proclaiming to
the world hat they are the men! No
trouble to get their names! oh, no =
Won't somebody publish the name of
every consplrator?"
That dodge won't work, gentlemen.-
You know that such plots were on foot;
and but for their timely discovery the
President would have been a-ssassinated
on his way to, or at the National Capitol.
Democrats hereabouts took the same
position in regard to Dennison. HE
would not run off, "He could have gone
long ago if The wished!'' "Need not watch
him!' Such wa the talk until now he
is gone, they doubtless consider he has
evinced great shrewdness.
