The advocates in this country OF the Fed
eral ca1se-tho admirers of Mr.. Seward and
apologists of General Butler-,hsve systemat-
ically endeayored to strengthen their case by
two misrepresentation Of astonishing impu-
pndence. They have not SO much asserted as
assumed that the South was div ided in opinion
and that the North ~as unanimous. Arguing
on this ground, they were able conclusively TO
establish tho imltropriety of European inter
veHtion. 81
First, twenty Iarillions of men, thoroughly in
earnest, possessed Of an incslculable superior
ity in all the material resources OF war, COM
manding all navigable waters, could not fail
to crush a rebellion which had broken out
among eight millions, divided. hesitatiag,
lukewarm in their cause, without navy,
without artillery, with little available wealth,
with very insufficient arms and very scanty
store Of ammunition.
Secondly, nothing bu. violent interference
with overwhelming foree-nothing, in short,
but fighting the battles of the Secessionists
against their Southern opponents-and against
the Northern Government-could possibly
avert this consummation, compel the stronger
party to yield its demands, or enable the
weaker successfully to resist them.
AnAif the story had had any foundation in
truth, the conclusion would have been irresist-
ible. It would have been perfectly evident
that justice and policy alike dictated to Europe
a total abstinence from a quarrel of that un-
equal nature. But, then, If the story had been
true, the South would long since have been
subjugated; and it was precisely the certainty
of this result which on that supposition rem
dered recognition or intervention wholly un-
justifable.
Confederate Greatness.
The facts that the Confederate States not
only maintain their independence, but have
been able to hold several of their most import
ant sea coast and river side towns against the
ineomParably superior naval power of their
enemies, and have won every battle in which
that power has not been brought into play :;
that the army of the Federalists in the West
is Inactive and that their army in the East is
broken, ruined, and in constant danger of total
snnihilation-these facts oonclusively estab.
lish the error of the original statements of our
Americanizing contemporaries.
Faaanra OF the North-Its Promisss-Ifs
short CominEs.
They urge us not to recognize the South,
because In three months the rebellion would
be crushed fifteen months have passed, and
the rebellion has well nigh crushed the Federal
armies. They told us there was no divisions
in the North and that there was a stlong
Unionist party in the South. The progress of
the war has made it clear that there are no
Unionists in the South; that every State, and
township, and pan from the Potomac to the
Gulf of Mexico hates the invader with per-
feet hatred; that the whole population would
rather perish than return to the defeated
Union. Whenever the Northern armies ex-
tend their ravages, they are, according to the
promise made in Congress on the eve of seces-
sion, "welcomed with bloody hands to hospita.
BILE graves" They find no friends they can
extort no information; and they vent their
disappointment AZ finding no support from
any quarter, in atrocities which disgrace no,
only the army, but the nation.
No Union.sm south L
If there had been a Union party at the
South it would ere now have been converted
to thorough patriotism by the Northern mis-
sionaries of secession, Gea. Butler, Gen. Mitch
ell and Gov. Johnson-the imprisonment oi
clergymen, the murder of private citizens, the
insults TO ladies, the outrages inflicted on tbs
| women of Tennessee, the unspeakable outrage!
psrpetrated in northern nAlabama--would have
| extinguished every spark of attachment to the
| Union, had that attachment been as genera
| and as cordial in the South as loyalty to the
Throne is in England.
Diseord at the North.
| As the progress of events has disposed of tbs
pretense of dscord at the South so it is likely
| soon 70 dispose of the pretense of concord al
| the North. Il has been said that the North
ern people are unanimous in support of Tia,
| President, as the Northern States were unani
nous in his election, because no VOICE has beer
raised against him. But what voice was raiseC
against Robespierre while the reign of terrol
ls.tedg Yet Robespierre never possessed tn,
confidence of one-tenth of the French nation
! There is a reign of terror at the North, simi
lsr to that described by Prince Napoleon a
IA tyranny defended by German and Irisl
mercenaries" 1t is 3 terror not of blood bn
| of gaols; q terror less cruel than that of tn
Partisan Republican, only because exercised il
| gentler times over less excited people. Th
dissentients of the North are not free to speal
their minds; they live In terror of persona
violence, Of denunciation, arbitrary arrest, ant
| Imprisonment without trial. The press of tn
/ North is not free to express its convictions;
| exists but on sufferance, and the fiat of tn
government might at any moment inf1ict ol
/ any organ of moderate opinion ruin as com
1 piete, if not a sentence as formal, as any whic
can be inflicted on the gagged and fettere
newspapers of France.

The dissentients, however, do contrive {
make their dissent felt, If not actually hear,
or seen. It is possible for the government .
4 far to keep them down, BY law and by mo
4 law, that it shall be able to ignore them, an,
that its organs abroad shall be able TO den
their existence But though it be allowed n,
formal expression, the discomfort which per
vades the intelligent and respectable class 0

have lost much, and still have much to lose
i is felt and understood alike by the American
government and by the impartial observers O
