Jyn.,t,Eu and John Bull,

The Northern Journals exhibit lncreasing
dissatisfaction with the comments OF the Euro
lcan, especially ,ae English press, upon the
state of affairs Oh this continent. Inc Aecn
ness OF their disappointment, especially III re-
gard t. E1gand, ailOrds us exquisite oousla1 :
ton. II there is any sin which JOGArHAN can
never pardon in himself OF others, it Is 81 =
cessful imposition upon his understanding.
An inputltion upon his moral qualities lie Is
capable of forgetting but t" " take him III y
In business matter, he SILL never either for
get or forgive.
1t mast os ackEo Ied5cd that from the be
gi4nins JONATHAN, (msanIns By that term
the May flower family, AID no other race OF
the Nor,b has "d1nc" JOHN BULL exceeding
~ brown ia every business transaction. IN
the frs, place, lie got tho most immense grant
of land AID extraordinary privileges frcm the
King Of England, AID then, came here, pre-
tending that he came solely for rels ious free
dom, Il .u4ury which hc showed his ability Of
arpreca,ing b. Instantly denying it TO every
body bat himself. lie remained, however,
JoHS BULLS loyal progeny just as long, aud
no longer, than he could set up i. business for
himself If he mad not aScertaincd 10y close
calculation that he could make moIo by indie
pendepce than by colonial state, he would
still be faithful dependant Ct the BULL
family. Civil freedom, like religious freedom
was the pIe:cxt commerce in one case, Ike
land in the othe:. tie real motive
After.our seven years tussle, ia which, by
the aid Of GEORGE WAsHI>1S, jonathan
was permitted 70 love his cHn var, I'D a
second war, in which The South had 10 earthly
interest, hut which vas turcly fight fer
Northern ships and trade, JoSAruAs was on
the high road to amazing fortune. By dint Of
tariff, United States Bank, coasting naviga-
ton laws, &c, he was becoming competitor
with. the venerable BULL upon every sea,
and working up such an Immense and mex
haustible mine Of wealth III the South as TO
nation on the face Of the earth ever possessed.
Having now got little UP in the world, JoSA-
THAN began 70 have social aspirations, and 10
cultivate acquaintance with the great and
lofty. JOHN BULL, his old enemy, seemed
runaway apprentice, and did not disdain to hob
mob with him in the most agreeable and jolly
manner. The old gentleman, in the most
Christian and peaceabie temper had evidently
forgotten all the past, and the two were very
condding and even patriotic over their cups
upon the subject Of Southern Barbarians and the
Sorrows OF the Poor African. II is impossible
to over estimate the exultation Of that devil
ish sly" creature. BROTHER jonathan, over
the manner in which he pulled the wool of
Abolitionisn over the eyes of JONI BULL, SO
that he could not see the glitter IF the rich
mine in the Southern States. Only think OF
the exquisite communion Of Mrs. SroWE and the
Duchess Of Sutherland, the sweet things said to
tie broken headed SUMNER, aud the ahectionate
demonstration which MADE even the willy SEW
ARD sure Of Engiand, and what must DO the
agony of JONATHAN at the discovery that ali
this time the venerable BILL has been seeng
through lin, has p.ricctiy understood ali lis
clever tricks, IS quite competent to advance
his own interests al every suitable opportunity,
ard has never altogether forgotten nor forgi, en-
r;ain old scores,
The truth is, if England should neglect
such an opportunity as the present to Grip
pie The United States, she would show herself
destitute 0i the instinct 0f self preservation.
Every interest and every passion that sfe has
are, or ought 10 b., enlisted on the side OF the
South. Cotton, commerce, Independence, re-
rribution Tor the paal and security i9r tins IL
ture, the lIcacrs alton OF her present noble
form of constitutional liberty, all invoke her
70 iock with sympathy, if not to aid by acdN 9
cooperation, tbs delivcrance of the South
from. tie iccutious, monopol;zing, goddess des-
pot!sm now established at Washington. Ne
ger tad empire fuch an opportunity for put
ting ont of it, way the only rival it had cause
10 fear. Let her suffer it To escape, and she
loses C4aada, and ever Possession she has
on this continent whilst, On the other baud
she has nothing to lose, not even hazard, by
e.pou ne the Southern caaee. Great Britain
ami France, with reference go their own iu-
torests, oaght both to unite and crush 10 atoms
