snNAroa nENDnRsON's sPEEoM.

We publish to-day the great speech oi
Senator Henderson Of Missouri on the
Presidents Emancipation policy. Rising
above all party or local considerations, the
talented Missourian stands upon the Con
stitntion of his country, and is willing to
subordinate all other questions to that oil
the preservation of the Union. Like true
patriot, he espouses the policy of the Presi-
dent MS a means of saving the Border States
from the devastating influence of slavery in
the future, while it will tend to consol-
date the several sections in fraternity and
harmony hereafter.
The noble Senator enierlains no mawkish
feelings in regard 10 the nconstitntonality
of the proposition, hut is willing under the
force aud obligation of his oath as Senator
of the United States TO vote for it as a per
iectly legitimate measure.
We commend his remarks TO those of oui
Emancipation friends in Delaware, who
while protesting and coniessing desire tC
sec the curse of Slavery forever remove,
from our State, are yet willing to "ait
and abet" its continuance under the ex
tremely sensitive and conscientious notiOl
that its removal under national auspice
would be unconstitutional.

SPEECH OF MIR. YAScEY AT New ORLEANS
We take the following synopsis of the rebel
Yancey's speech at New Orleans, from the
Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate of March l0--
Mr.. Nancey is decidedly of the opinion that
the South has no friends in Europe, and that the
North is in similar condition. He says there
is II very strong prejudice in all Europe against
the South in consequence Of an erroneous i'm
PRECISION which prevails in reference TO the in
stitution Of slavery. There are many persons
in Europe who consider the Southern people
semi civilized, and believe thatnegroes are raised
upon the plan that stock is There is no dis
position 10 interfere in American affairs
The Blockade enables the British holders of
the great staple (cotton) to realize an immense
advance upon its cost In consequence of the
scarcity Of this article. These holders are the
wealthy few, who have the ear Of the Govern
inent Another reason for not Interfering with
the blockade was the belief that the scarcity OF
the article and tho remote prospect Of obtaining
a supply from this country would create such a
demand for East India cotton as to increase lis
culture to very considerable extent.
Another reason, in MIR. lanceys opinion, why
European Powers will not interfere in American
affairs s the hope and belief that permanent
dissolution of the United States will weaken IA
nation of whose prosperity and greatness they
had become jealous They hope to see the war
proiracted until both divisions Rre involved in
ruiuous debt, to hang over them like an iucubu.
for years to come.
lie inclined to the opinion that England and
France would sooner interfere to prevent re-
construction Of the United than for any Other
purpose. And he believes that unless theii
starving operatives, engaged in the manufacture
of cotton fabrics, compel them to interfere, they
will stand nlooi until they see the South is ahont
to conquer its independence, OF fail in the at
tempt. He has no hope Of recognition Of thf
Confederate States by either of these r,y,,,
until the occurrence Of one Of these events. Ii
view of these facts, Mr. Yancey is Of opiniol
that we might as well recall our Commissioner
from Europe, and await the action Of foreiRi
Powers-wait until they propose negotiation
and recognition.
