The Toronto Globe, Of Monday, has an
article sebokiDg the secession sympa,bzars
of Canada, who, since the late battle before
Richmond, have Eedoub.ed their outcry 10
favor of the South. After giving clear
resume of the relative strength and position
Of the Government aud its enemies, tie
Globe pithly says:
What nation of tyrants. like the men oil
the South, have surrendered their domiua-
ton over their victims without struggle
Some people are able to see in the Southern
people nation strugg iog for independence,
aud therefore worthy OF sympathy and re.
spect. We cannot have sympathy for men
who desire freedom Of action Tor themselves
and deny it to others. They are tyran:s,
not freemen. They merely want power to
Cypress Others. The South were checked
in their desires for more territory to be PEG
Piled with slaves, and they rebeled. Is that
an object TO which Britons can give their
sympathies? We may respect the courage
aud devotion Of the South. We nav the
same tribute to the valor of the Duke OF
Parma, and the soldiers of Charles and
Philip, but we condemn the object they
aimed at. the destruction of libetiy in Eu
rope. With some people the meaus sanctify
the end, US With others tue end sancti6es the
means.

In purple splendors of the Summer dark;

Peace, foolish heart! nor all thy joys reveal
At meeting him once more.
