Obs.aeies 70 our asco,S;n,ilon

The failure of England and France To &C
knowledge the independence Of the Confederate
States may be attributed to two principal
causes: first. an indispositon 10 encourage revo-
luton By hassy acknowledgement Of its sue
cess for fear that the precedent MAJ be used
hereafter against themselves; and secondly,
ignorance Of The trus rotations OF the States to
each other, end Of tho offsets and progress Of
the war.
Tho fist cause, founded, ss it is, upon the
ideas Of Order and Legitimacy, may be sup-
posed to operate powerfully on the minds CT
such timid, mediocre statesmen as LORD John
Russell in England; while Napoleon seems
never to have viewed any popular revolution
with favor since tho one to which be owes his
own elevation.
The forco Of the pressure OF popular sent
ment abroad, from which, ss tho oppressed,
wo would naturally expect sympathy, is bro
ken by the fact that NO are ourselves slave
holders, and the root OF tho evil in the foreign
mind from which we reap their i'll opinion
The prejudice sgsiast slavery must be dis
sipAted before we can expect full aad ready
;ibstico.
This brings Us Al once 70 the second and moi g
formidable obstacle to our guition-igao-
raaeel Ignorance is the great enemy we have
to contend against Foreign nations have sc

the Medium Of the Yankee press that their
views of us are radically and habitually wrong
