GRAPHIC PICTURE OF SOUTHERN EN-.
PIRE.

PIRE.
The London Daily News draws this
picture of the character of the South and
the probable consequences which would
follow it's achievement of "independ-
ence' =
"As far as England is concerned, we
may judge from the past. Many people
say, in excuse for their state of mind
about the war, that they detest the Amer
leans. Very well; and what does this
mean? 1t means an association of ideas
made up of troubles about search of slavers
at sea, and bring about the Monroe doc
trine, and threats of Canada, and ISLANDERS
about our cruisers in the Gulf, and out
rage on San Juan, and the bullying of
the General Harneys, and the sharp prac-
tice of cabinets at Washington, and ag-
gression upon our seamen in port, and
universal rudeness to our representatives
in the states, and to our government
through American representatives in Eng
land. All this, with impression of fill
clustering, threats about Cuba, an un-
pressed clandestine slave trade, lynch law,
marauding in Kansas, brag about liberty
together with tar and feathers, cowhiding,
slave markets, human stock breeding, and
all the rsst of it-these impressions COM
bine to make up the sentiments expressed
by the avowal Il dctest the Americans
But for every element of this impression
confederate society is answerable. 1t was
the South reigning at Washington, the
South importing negroes, the South COW
citing Cuba and canada, the south sending
Walker and Lopez into the territory of an
ally to stir up insurrection, the South
sending Gen. Harvey to San Juan, the
South getting up the Monroe doctrine, the
South lynching ciergymen, and burning
alive travellers suspected of disappearing
slavery-tho South as universal aggress-
or, bully, braggart, traitsr, mischief-ma-
ker and thorough bore-that society was
getting to detest more and more every
year. What follows if this same South,
inflated with pride and revenge, could ac-
tually recover her dominion?
"The Dred Scott decision would be &C
lively enforced, and the whole territory
of the Union made slave soil. The pop
ular vote would be overruled, or practic.
ally precluded, as hitherto in the South
and rights of education, Of free speech
and free press would be extinguished
Labor being discredited by the extension
of slavery, the pauperism and degradation
of the free workers of the North woulC
corrupt society to its core. The concubi
mage of the South would spread beyond
the dividing line, and the morals of thu
whole nation would be in danger of be
coming like those of the slave states
which are grosser than can be conceived
of in any other part of Christendom
Every other nation would be perpetual,
!, on the verge of war, or engaged in it
because the slave power cannot abstain
, from aggression. nor maintain its position
by the arts of peace. We should see
J retrogade period arrive more disastrous t
civilization than the advent of the frs
Napoleon. We should see buccancerin
nation turning the progress of politica
liberty into mockery destroying tb
: freedom of the seas, and the security {
territory, and the prosperity of labo'
We should see the natural laws of indul
try and trade tampered with, civilizatio
turned back, a canting paganism set u
in the name of Christianity, and the ol
world infested with the piracies of tn
new, in every department of politics,
business, of territorial possession, and {
intellectual and moral intercourse. If tf
= confederatcs could prevail, and reinstat
the spirit and policy of the South
Washington, it would be the greatest CT
k lamity that has befallen the world f'
! centuries. But it will not be. II
i American people will not permit it; an
the rest of the world, once aware of Il
g danger, will not endure it,"
