The mission Of our joint expedition is not 10

authority Of the United States, and to close with
you the desolating war brought upon your
State by comparatively few bad men IN your

Influenced Infinitely more by the worst pas.
slous of human nature than by any show OF

They impose upon your credulity by telling
you Of wicked and even diabolicsl intentions
on our psrt-of our desire To destroy your
freedom. demolisb your property, liberate your
slaves, tnJure your women, and such like en0r-
mities Of which, we assure you, is not only
ridiculous, but utterly and wllfully false.
We are Christians as:well are yourselves, and
We profess 10 know full we'll and 10 feel pro-
foundly the sacred obligations of that character.
No apprehension need be entertained that the
demands Of humanity or justice will be disre.
gsrded.
We shall inaict no injury, unless forced 10 do
90 b.. your own aot., aud upon this you may
confidently rely.
Those men are your wor.t enemies. They,
In truth, have drawn you Into your present
condition, and are the real disorders OF your
peace and the happiness Of your fresides.
We invite you, In tho name Of the Constitu.
ton, and in that Of virtuous loyalty and civil
lzstion, TO separate yourselves at once from
their mslign influence 70 return 10 your allegi-
ance, and not compel US 10 resort ful ther to
the force under our control.
The Government asks only that Its authority
may be recognized, and, We repeat, In no man.

The British politicians who advocated inter-
yeraon in favor of the South, did 20 chiefly
upon the alleged ground that British mauuiac.
turss were suffering from the want Of cotton.
This was transparently . pretsnoe, q every.
body knew that the British manufacturers had
abundance Of cotton ON hand and In sure pros.
pect Independently Of America), to last them
through the whole year 1862; that they had
only been saved from ruinous glut and de-
probation In the markets for cotton goods BY
the Southern block ade, and that what they have
chiefly apprehended for months, was the too
early opening Of the Southern ports. The
British cotton spinners themselves wanted no
American cotton, until they had worked OF
their old stocks, and they will learn with re
gret that the Southern Siockade Ii likely to be
soon raised. Tbs pretended British demsnd
for Americsd cotton was an affair of the poll

II is with fear and trembling, not with pleas.

that theAmerican cotton crop Of 1861 Is likely to
be thrown upon the market. 1t must fall 10 .

The shutting up Of this supply caused unpre.

Of the Southern ports. Upon this point let.
ter from New York, (Feb. 25), says:
The bankers and merchants letters by the
Niagara show that q new and most powerful

otherwise interfering 10 the American war, 10

influence is exercised by the India merchants.

that the blockade Of the Southern ports il
