Mr.. GLADroNs's SPEECH AT NEWCASTLE. =
We give elsewhere fall report Of the speech
| made by the English Chancellor Of the ENche-
| quer, upon which so much stress is laid By Sc
| cessionist sympathzers abroad. We also pub
| lish synopsis of two similar speeches made by
| Sir John Pakington and Sir Edward Lytton
Bulwcr, although they add but little to the
sentiments Of hostility against the North to
which these gentlemen have so frequently before
| given expression
Mr. Gladstonc's speech has alarmed some
timid people here from the known reserve Of his
character. They are Of opinion that he would
moi have thus freely expressed himself in regard
to the Souths having made cui its claims
to distinct nationality unless there was
settled intention on Che part of the English
Cabinet shortly to recognize it's independence.
Like Louis Napoleon's mots d'occaSion. Mr..
Gladstone's chance n.terances are assumed by
the political quidnuncs to prcSage grave events
But Mr.. Gladstone is not a Louis Napoleon
and there il nothing either in his opinions
or in his official position to justify the fear
| that is expressed. The Cabinet Of which he IL
| meiaber has long boon known to be divided on
| this question of the recognition Of the South
| and he has always sided with the views beld by
! Lord John Russell in reference to it. But, or
! the other hand. The Queen is violently opposed
! TO any step being taken to wound the feelings
or Interests Of the North and Lord Paimerston is
eaualy firm in resisting tie pressure brough
| 10 bear on the government by the
manufacturing Interests. MIR. Giadstone's dc
clarations would therefore, signify but little,
| even were they not neutraizcd by the closing
sentences Of his speech, which, although predi-
| eating the certainty of the Souths attaining lis
Independence, recommend that England shall
| do nothing to increase the pain and humiliation
| which that event must cause us.
In whatever light however, this preiudgment
| Of the result Of the war by so able a statesman
| as Mr.. Gladstone is to be viewed, it should
teach US one thing, and that is, to prepare for
| any emergency that may arise. This can only
| be done by pushing the war TO as vigorous aud
rapid conclusion as possible, so as to be ready
to meet anything like an attempt at armed in
| iervenion from abroad. To that end all the
| energies Of the government and of the
| country should be strained. Let ns hear
no more Of intrigues to displace this
| general or elevate that because Of his supposed
| political views; let an end be put to the med
| ding OF politicians with the conduct Of the
war, and let the President eummarily dismiss
| from Office All those who can be proved 10 have
| thrown obstacles in the way of the movements
| Of the army by delaying the supplies which it
| needs. Mr.. Lincoln is sure OF being supported
| by the conservative sentiment Of the country in
any measures that he may CHOOSE TO adopt
| against the ianatcal influences that have hith
| crto hampcTed bis administration and prolonged
the war until ii has brought the country to the
verge Of ruin. We must have no moro vacilla-
ton, no more tcmporizing with the open or
concealed enemies OF the Union. If the life Of
| the country is to be saved we mast have q
| short sharp and decisive winter Campaign. Un-
LEGS by the LIST Of January we are in possession
Of Richmond aud Of the remaining rebel ports,
We shall despair of ever ialsitying Mr. Glad
| stones declaration that "Jetf. Davis has made a
| nation OF the South"
