parucuidrly Ill TeiatlOH 10 suggestion WHICH We
made some time ago about the North and South
burying the Ratchet and uniting their forces for
the purpose Of indicating the Monroe doc
trine to its fullest extent, and sweeping away
from this continent and its islands every yes
tige Of foreign dominion. The London journals
are fired with resentment, and assail the HERALD,
because they regard our proposition as practi-
cable, and fear it may be carried into effect.
The leading London journals have expressed
their ideas on the subject in geniemanly man
ner; but one Of the low, vulgar prints has come
out in its characteristic Billingsgate, as fol-

This extract has been copied into congenial
journal of the same calibre whose editor has
distinguished himself by his ma.chless race at
Solferno and his precpitate fight from Bull run.
1t is quite true we did advise an armistice for
three years between tie armies o. the North
and the South; and that, instead Of the South
fighting for the idea of sectional independence,
and the North to prevent it, destroying each
others population and resources for the special
benefit and amusement of the despots OF Eu-
rope, they should both combine for the pur-
pose of extending the area of freedom and
adding to the common territory of the Union.
The way in which these armies fought at Ma
nassas junction proves that, united, they could
rapidly clear this continent of all foreign rule,
from Labrador to the Isthmus of Panama.
Nothing could resist their onward march.
Now, the English journals see this danger to
The remnant of their colonial possessions i'll
North America, and they indulge in vehe
ment TRADES against the editor of the
Herald, who set the idea afioat just as they
attack Louis Napoleon when the Partisan jour
nails announce secret treaty with Russia, in
which the Emperor disposes of the affairs Of the
European continent without asking England's
permission, or when he increases his army or
navy so as to cndangcr British supremacy on
the ocean, or to threaten to carry out the unful-
filed design of his uncle, to invade Great Bril-
tain from Cherbourg or Boulogne. Napoleon,
controlling the whole press of France, is bitter
ly assaied by the organs Of John Bull when
ever any Partisan journal foreshadows any
policy which will extract the teeth and clip the
claws of the old efFotc British lion In like man
ner Bennett, the Emperor Of the New YORK
HERALD, who manages, according to all ap-
pearanccs, the principal part Of the American
press, is denounced when his journal promul-
gates the happy idea of consigning our domestic
and internal differences to the Tomb Of the Capu-
lets, and joining hands and arms against the
insidious foreign foe which would use the foot
hold il possesses ON this continent as the inlcrum
on which TO plant lever to overturn ouI in
situations and our republican system of govern
ment. overwhelming North and South in one
common ruin.
1t thus appears that Napoleon and
Bennett are the two great bugbears Of
the British press and people. They have,
perhaps, good reason to fear the con
sequences Of the foolish proclamation of nen-
trality issued by their monarch, Let them be-
ware. When the North tries its strength little
farther upon the Southern army, aud the South
ern army has felt the weight OF its blows, both
sides win then, perhaps, be disposed TO suspend
hosilitcs. so as TO enable them to look after the
common interests and the common dangers, and
make common causc against the stcally en-
croachments OF Great Britain and other Euro
pean Powers, particularly Spain, who, taking
advantage of our internal discussions, are plot
ting our subjugation to their yoke.
With an army of 10000 men on one side, and
az army of 60 900 on the other, who fought with
such fury near Manassas Junction, with these
armies combined into one OF 10000 men. and
led by such generals as Mcclellan, Beauregard
and Johnston, with 100000 more troops
at their back, ready to follow in their
path, what could arrest their conquer
ing march northward 70 Hudson Bay,

now in the possession of the British Queen,
would become ours in few months whilst

Cuba, jamaica, ST. Domingo. and all the West
Indian Islands woald fall into our hands, al

gramme, and that is the basis of an enduring

Napoleon, now in Washington, will please TO
notice these ideas aad transmit them at once to

A HAPPY IDEA.-fThs New Orleans journals
| have at last hit upon the happy idea of meeting
the blockade with an embargo, which they think
will be more damaging to foreign nations than
the blockade. The Bee Of that city says:--"If
