do not propose to ''subjugate" the revolt

the Constitution of the United States
Did England subjugate Ireland and Scot
land? Are the united kingdoms less ho-
mogeneous than of cid. before the wars
against the rebellion? SO will the United
States rise from the smoke of battle with
renewed stability and power. In turn.
now let us ask the British public some
questions.
/. Where should British honor place her
ia this question: We overthrow that po-
litical element in America which has all
through our history been the studied de-
nouncer and real hater Of the British ma
tion. while we have been always from the
beginning. the friends Of England. Be-
cause. though under different forms of gov-
ernment. we had common sympathies. and
a common cause. and. therefore, a com
mon interest. England was the conserva-
tor of liberty in Europe-the old world;
we IN the new. If the '.Confererate
States" are right. then England is wrong.
If slavery must be extended in America,
then must England restore it in the Yves,
Indies. blot ont the most glorious page oi
her history. and call back her freed men
into chains! Let her say to the martyrs
of freedom from all the nations who have
sought refnge and magnanimous defense on
her shores. return to yonr scaifolds and
your prison houses: England is no more
England! Lot the Times cease to appeal
longer to the enlightened opinion of the
world; nay, let the statues of the great
dead through which / passed in reverence
yesterday to the House OF her political in
telligence be thrown from their pedestals,
when England shall forget the utterance of
her Chathams. her Wilberforces. and her
Broughams-thatn natural Justice is the
only safe diplomacy and lasting foundation
OF the independence of nations.
2. What as the interest of England noo:2
If we may descend to such inferior appeals.
1t is clearly the interest Of England to
stand by the Union of the States. We
are her best customer; no tariff will materi-
ally affect that fact. We are the best Gus
toner Of England. not because we arc cot
ton-growers or cotton-spinners, agricultur-
lists or manufacturers. but because we
are producers and manufacturers and
have, money TO spend. 1t is not the
South. as is urged. but the. North who
are the best consumers of English com
mercc. The free white laborer and cap;
talist does now. and always will. con.
sumo more than the white master and
the slave. The Union and the expansion
Of the States and the Republican policy
makes us the best market for England and
Europe. What has the world 10 gain
England. France. or any of the Powers TO
calmly reducing the United 3tates to a
Mexican c;v;l;zat;on9 -tsF si77.
8. Can England afford to offend The great
nation ,chich vU still be. "THe United
States Of Ameriea." even should sce loose
part Of the South Twenty millions ol
people to-day. with or without the Slave
States. in 20 years we will be 40. 600, 600!
In another half century we will be one hun.
dred million! We will rest upon the Po.
tomac. and on the West banks of the
Mississippi river. upon the Gulf of Mexico
Our railroads viii run 1000 miles upon a
single parallel. binding our empire. which
must master the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans. Is England so secure in the fu,
ture against home revolt or foreign ambi
tion as to venture. now in our need, tc
plant the seeds of revenge in all our fu
ture!
If Ireland. or Scotland. or Wales, shall
attempt to secede from the .beneficent
Government Of the United Kingdom which
now lightens their taxation and gives them
security, and respect at home and sboad
shall we enter into piratical. war with on,
race and ally. and capture and sell in oul
ports the property and endanger the lives
OF peaceable citizens of the British Empire
oil over the world? / enter. not into the
discussion of details. England. then, is
, is our natural ally. Will she ignore oul
aspirations? Ifshe is just, she ought not.
II she is honorable and magn animous, she
cannot. II she is wise. she sH not.
