FOREIGN HOSTILITY-ITS CAUSE.

Mr.. Seymour, 10 his speech, furnishes apology
for the hostility Of foreign nations, which thick
they do not deserve. He says:i q i
Z" The brutal and bloody laugnsce Of partisan
editors and poll ical preachers las lost the Gym
patty OF the civilized world in CONTEXT where al
maniiud shoald be noon ono side" TIs sympathy
could no, lie lcs' II IT wa never possessed.
AT the commencement of this Rebelil England
insured this nation BY her resolution TO treat tie
Rebel as bclligerents. Suppose Of Epgands
most populOus counties Should rIse In rebellion e.
overthrow the Government Of England. Suppose
the United States Government should Immediately
declare that tho Rebels oud be deemed belIiger-
enrs thus by the law of nations placing them On
oting OF equality with the rightfal Government.
What would England think, and have night to
think of that actl
The sympathies of the governing classes In En-.
gland with this rebellion have been Enthusiastically
maniiested in thousand ways. Buttne cause hes
far deeper than in our newspaper provocatoh,. oDe
cause i The Importance Of cotton to her induhflai
interests. But q deeper canse Is IN theif jealousy
and Hatred Of our republican Government ana nee
Institutions. They INK they see an quorum -
break In pieces the great Republic, and thus remove
q powerful rival.
Our presses Rave ,aid nothing equal IN bitterness

Ttmes On tho contrary, III view OF the causes tgae
would produce irritation, Iressee have been ree
from insulting language while tie bitter things that
have been published, are certainly as Iluch III Dcin-
ocrsiic a. Republican papers.
TIE NORTH NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS RI
BELIIoN.
Again, I take issue with Mr.. Seymour in his
charge that tho responsibility fOrtbls war fests ulop
the North because regard this accusation not only
a- furnishing apology for too Rebels but also rs
reversing all the teachings OF history aud trulh'
Iiis language IL:
"Now, nv Republican friends, you know that the
mislpprehensions Of the North with regard 10 the
South, have drenohed the land with blood. WHO

NEWSPAPER COMPLAINTS.
Nor do l SEQ Tor what worthy purpose fault
finding articles, from Republican newspapers, are
given such prominence.
When, in the ever-yaryiDg fortunes Of wsr, dis
ssers overtaks us, editors, like other people, arc
prone to complain. In some CAGES their oomplnint9
are founded upon imperfect knowledge Of facts, aud
in others they proceed from dt sire 10 bring about
