POLITICS IN TIE BRITISH pAKLIA
MEME

In a few days Parliament will assemble for
the despatch Of business, and the Uorni3lg
WeruL1, as the organ Of the Dcrbyites, has
clearly Indicated a goodly portion Of the forth
coming policy of :" Her Majesty's opposition -
That is, we now, the American portion of their
budget. The recognition Of the Southern
Confederacy, the raising the blockade the re-
tabl5bment of the trade in cotton rice tur-
pentine and Southern products, in exchange
f>r British manufactures, the opening Of British
mercantile houses on q magnificent scale in cv-
cry Southern port from Norfolk to New Orleans
and the pcrpctuation of this trade by mag
nifcent feet of ocean steamers, built by Eng
ljsh capitalists these and q long series OF
equally splendid projects are to be paraded
before the country, and the ministry is to
be urged forward to seek their attainment
The Herald tells its readers that the civil
war in our country has nO~ been carried cn
so long rs to show the world that victory is
on the side "f the South, and that the aspira-
tons Of the North are utterly hopeess Uenc,
it is argued that the duty ofthe British Gov
ernment is plain; and in order to enlist the
sympathies Of the manufacturers it is affirmed
that no Ministry can be permitted TO stand
in the country that would prevent the opera
tives Of England from enjoying IT, boon with
which the opposition leaders are tempting
them It is tie really sichcning to witness
such cOnccalment Of the trHth, misrcDrcsonfa
as this leading London journal displays
FOR the attainment Of most selfish paI.tisan
ends.
The Herald knows quite we'll that the cause
of the Southern Rebellion is hopeless that
the armies of the Union, like a great constric-
tor, are enfnlding it and crushing it to death
The voice Of the Rebel wa;ling is already heard
across the Atlantic, and the fate of the traitors
who Matched this foul conspiracy, an houuded
on their victims TO their ruin, is foresccn by
every intelligent person N Great Britain who
has calmly watched the coarse Of events. Bat
what OF thcse things when the overthrow Of a
ministry, the accession of our party" to
office, and the Spoils of place are in Quas-
tion
The Herald knows that Lord Pa!ncrs. on
can only command small orking minority
lii the Lower House, that distress is keen}y
felt ill Lancashire, III Yorkshire Birmingham,
Spitafields and Glasgow; and that many
members who dread the idea of appearing to
vote in opposition to the immediate interests
Of their constitusnts, may be induced to take
the popular side Such men would scarcely
venture TO record their votes amidst a loud
parliamentary clamor on the side for continu-
ting the present depressed condition of indus
trial affairs, aud it is hoped that a number
of alarmists may thus be gained to the side of
the Tories. OF course VIC shall have Mr
Gregory again as large as life, and on this oc-
casion he will have many supporters when he
proceeds with his motion, which he will un-
doubtedly offer, to conn it Great Britain to
the recognition Of the Rebel cause
The Herald, Mr. Gregory, and their friends,
may spare themselves all trouble about our
affairs. Long before they carry majori-
ty in Westminster Hall, our vast Federal ar
my, Ike great avalanche, shall have fallen
on the Rebel hosts before them. Lord Derby,
with all his rhetoric and Mr. Dlsraer,
with all his vitupcration and invective must
discover somethmc moro cuhstant;al
than the visions of the Herald. before they
can can succeed IN turning Earl Russell out of
o'nGe ana l"anguratinS policy that is certain
% lead TO long, wasting and DISASTROUS
