many and such vast sacrifices in behalf Of the eman-

late day % allow their Government to drift into a
war with this country, in the interest Of the slavery
prop1gauIa Of the South. This position we have y
right to assume for them from all We alreiy know Of
the masses throughout the kingdom. That feeling,
as everywhere apparent, with very few exceptions,
whether in England, or Ireland, or Scotland, or
or Wales. or in the colonies on this side Of the Atlantic.
is Enthusiastically on the side Of the North IN this con-
test. And perhaps even the Manchester cgtjun-Ccracy,

the South. Fortunately they have no influence with
the Government or with public men, but they man

noise through the public journals, by means OF GER

alone in his prrslyery tendencies on the Prose-, and
lately the other writers Of the paper have shown "A
decided sympathy for the North. We think We per-
