trous prolongation to all. We were on the
point of recognition, by several natl ons OF Eu-
rope. That would have crushed the enemy,
who are hopeless when their blockade is broken.
and we may import arms and munitions. That
is delayed. The people of the North were
themselves becoming hopeless, and disposed to
abandon the contest. large party were be-
ginning to oppose the war. ALI that will now
vanish. They will become inflated with new
hopes of the restoration Of that portion OF
country from which they derived their wealth,
which they were proud to own, whilst they were
willing to oppress- They will grasp at the re-
vived hopes of avoiding inevitable bankruptcy,
and nerve themselves up to new efforts to sus-
tain the administration in its struggle.
Our fears extend to this, then, that we must
spend more of our substance sacrifice more of
our lives than we hoped to be necessary Not
a oualm of fear of ultimate success, ever enter
ed our mind Let US all arouse to the work.
See what they have done by the cry that the
contest must be short and decisive. They are
mista ken in that, but we may learn from their
example. We may make it so. We need
money, provisions, arms, clothing Let every
citizen make it his morning and evening prayer
to preserve him from the spirit of mammon
and sel6shness, and devote himself to his coun-
try, and that alone. All that he has is hors.
Without her salvation, all is lost. Success i.
certain. Sunrise is not surer. Those who can
fight, hasten to the field. Those who have, let
them give. Awake from the dangero us lethar-
gy. Delilah shaved Sampson, and the Philis-
tines bound him, while he slept. He waited
long and in chains, before his hair grew again,
and he crushed his enemies. It may turn out
so with us, if We are Needless. Let us crash
them at first, before we are driven to the sad
necessity of waiting in humiliation for our
strength to be renewed.

A FRENcHNIAN,s VIEW

Let not the the South deludc herself
Her soldiers arc brave, he diplomatists
adroit. She rs keeping back the cotton
of which Europe has pressing need, she
is Aattcring certain political jealousies by
predicting the approaching dismember-
ment of the United States but notwith-
standing all chances in her favor, the
South will be deceived in the object of her
ambition. 1t is possible that weary of
the war, the North may submit to the sepa-
ration of some of the states between the
Alleghanies and the sea but the new
Roman empire which was to extend as far
as Mexico, the new civilization founded
on slavery, all this is. but dream which
is even now vanishing bubble which
will burst in the first breeze. To succeed,
the South must have the help of Europe,
and this help she will not have. What
ever may be the suferings of the man
ufacturiug classes, and whatever the
scheme of diplomatists, there is one fact
which towers above everything else, and
that is--slavery. Victory for the North
is the redemption of four millions of men
but triumph for the South is the per-
petuation and extension of slavery, with
all its miseries and all its infamies This
is the feeling of Europe. and the knowl-
edge of this feeling will hold back more
than one government The multitude,
whom great politicians despise but dare
not defy, the fanatics who believe in the
gospel, the narrow minds whose concep-
tions do not soar above liberty, the silly
hearts that melt at the recital of the suf-
ferings of an unknown negro, and all that
mass of sentimental people who throw in
to the balance their love of right and of
humanity, these laws get the better in
the end. The world belongs to those ig-
norant beings who care not straw for
political combinations, and who set JUS
and charity high above their own inter-
ests
Frenchmen, is it possible that the cause
of slavery ever should become popular
with us? Our fathers once fought in
America with Lafayette and Rochambcau
to uphold freedom there. This is part
of our national glory, and it is the SER
vice then rendered the United States
which has caused us to be regarded in
that country as brothers and friends.
Shall we oblterate the memorable past ?
Shall the name of France be associated
with the triumph of the South, that is,
whatever we may do or say, with the end
less perpetuity of slavery? 1t is impos-
sible. France, we are told, never fights
for selfish interest, but always for an
idea. l accept this proud motto, and
now ask,-if we give help to the South,
what idea shall we be fighting for.-La-
doulage.
