The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1861-11-13

Ever since the civil war broke out in the
United States the English government, English
aristocracy and English press, including quar-
terly reviews, monthly magazines weekly and
daily journals, with some few inconsiderable
exceptions, have betrayed their enmity to the
American republic in variety Of ways They
first advocated the recognition Of the Southern
confederacy as q beiligerent Power, and they
soon after recognized the rebel government as
such. England next sent out feet and troops
to American waters either as menace to the
| United States or as an advanced guard in the
event Of actual hostilities with us. The press
at home, and its correspondents here, from
Russell down, or rather, perhaps. from Russell
up, have represented the permanent dismem-
berment Of the Union rs an accomplished fact,
beyond human power to reverse, and they have
done their utmost to influence the public opinion
of Europe against us, with view to the recog-
milton of the independence OF the rebclious
States. The wish is evidently father to the
thought, and they are only trying to fulfil their
old predictions, and to render successful their
own efforts to break the republic into powerless
| fragments, in order that Britannia may hence
| forth rule the waves, and secure that maritime
long since stripped her. Already, with indecent
| exultation, the organs Of British interests pre-
maturely boast that their lost trident has been
recovered from lis, and that England is again
| mistress of the seas.
We have laid these facts before our readers
from time to time; and because we have done
so the abolition journals of this city and else
where have accused us Of disloyalty to the go
yernment in provoking war with friendly
| Power while a civil war exists in the United
States. This kind Of accusation shows the gno-
rance Of the New York journals, and their want
of sagacity from their inability to perceive our
views and purposes, or the hostile Vaccinations
Of the British government. We are already ut
war with England, and England has been at
war with us for thirty years. She has been
always at war with us. At the time of our
Revolution we wagcd war for seven years
against her. and we whipped her. In 1872 she
commenced war with US which lasted for
| again whipped. Seeing that she could never
succeed in this description Of warfare, she next
tried her hand at another kind of contlict-a
war of aboliton-and that she has carried on
for upwards of a quarter of a century. She has
sent out here an army of open propagandists
and secret agents to sow the seeds of national
discord. Prominent among these the name of
George Thompson will be recollccted by every
| reader.
1t mattered rot to the British aristocracy by
what means the disruption could be effected
IF force could not do it, then fraud must be re-
sorted to. Their political missionaries professed
the greatest love and amity for the American
Union, and they assured the Northern States
that if they would only admit the abolition
question into their national issues, with view
| to the emancipation Of the Southern negroes, the
wealth, prosperity, greatness aud glory OF the
country would be multiplied, and the Union
would be for ever preserved. The American
allies OF the British anti-slavery propagandists
in despite of every warning, introduced this
treacherous element into our politics, as the
credulous Trojans, upon the artfnl representa-
tons of pcrjured Simon, admitted within their
walls the wooden horse Of the GrecAs, secretly
| filed with armed men, resulting in the capture
Of Troy, which had stood ten years siege, and
involving the ruin Of Its king and government.
And as the deceitful Greek swore he was friend
| Of the Trojans, and persuaded them that the
fatal wooden horse was Of divine origin--a pal
ladium for their eternal protection-so the Bri-
fish abolitionists, i'll pretended friendship for
tho American people, have proclaimed their
creed as from Heaven, and its adoption as es-
sential to the safety Of the country. How fatal
their gift and their advice have been is now
American history.
The British have tins waged war upon our in
situations, and treachcrously enlisted in their
service American dupes and traitors, who have
proclaimed the constitution Of the United States,
established by Washington and his compatriots
of 1875, to be "a covenant with death and an
agreement with hell" because it provides for
the protection OF TIE institution of negro slave
| ry. The mobility and gentry Of England have
teted Harriet Beecher Stowe because she
wrote against lat institution a calum-
Nous book caNed "Uncle Toms Cabin
! Now this is part which the French
| United States They have not meddled
with our institutions in any shape or form, and
! they have not interfered in cur domestic
troubles since the commencement of the civil
war. This we take to be good evidence of
friendship for the republic. On the contrary.
The rnlng and influential classes in England,
and their organs. great and small, have never
ceased to Willy, misrepresent and taunt us,
while they gloat over the anticipated disnteg-
ration of our democratic republic. The anti
slavery journals Of this city are traitorously
playing into their hands, and by their coward
ice and poltroonery inviting English invasion.
The course OF the patriotic press is
to expose this folly and treachcry, and
to show bold front to the British
