lous. a regular blockade OF reoei ports is

Such is the language of Mr.. RUSSELL
Possibly, 1t is significant Of the argument
which viii be hereafter employed by England
and Fraace to indicate future disregard OF
the blockade. They might long ago have
treated it as nulIity, inasmucn rs it has
never been claimed by President LINCOLN as
beiligerent right, and in accordance with
International Law. The blockade Is either a
beligerent right, or it is not; if not, 1t is vio-
iation of the treaties between tho United
States and foreign powers. Whence, then, the
ia,s the blockade? Ii they "are coming
why don's they come along
Ia answer, We Can only say, that 60 long as
England has q hope If obtaining cotton, Or
France tobacco, in any othsr way, they will
not yiolase the blockade. Neither Eng land
nor France care straw tor ,hs Confe der ate
States or the Uuited States; but if We vii.
they only lot them have the cotton and Tobacco
Viii permit the blockade to remain till dooms
day, and let Us fight as long as we please; ana
when No are botn tired, We Can make ilisnds
or moi, without concern of theirs, us boot suits
our convenience. We understand that the
