eumuIstive series Of proofs Of the Southern re-

events aud oUr boastful prediction Of what they

Some Of oar best friends thinks that if we had
more courage 60 toresee dssgreeable probabili-
ties. and to look disagTeeable facts in the face,
we should lessen the former and have fewer Of
the latter TO look at in the rear.
Our new tariff IS also exploited with great ef-
feet against the North by cur enemies, while our
warmest friends, being almost universally theo-
ratical tree-trsde7s, have 10 unite in condemning
it, With this, threatening manufacturers and ex-
p0rters o. ona hand, with the cotton famine,
pressing harder every day, on the other hand,

A misehevous article in one Of the New York
i0Braals On cur new tariff, il which the writer
thsnks Gcd that L viii have for one result, to
make European workmen suffer, has had all the
success in France and England which that
devout editor could have desired. Il has fur
nished TO the London Tunes snd the French
government press, grateful and fertile texts tor
equally malicious or ignorant articles, appealing
TO and arousing the popular passions and prfJu-
dices OF EBghshneI and trenchmen against
US I believe That it has enjoyed the honors Of

has had an equal success. Here Is specimen
Of French official notica Of it: " a meeting has
( been held at New York in the sense OF entire

our civil war and completing our separation

Thst there have been exchange OF views ana N
formal negotiations, by conversation and read
! irr Of confidential notes, and other o1nei0Us
means customary IN similar diplomatic cases, no
one doubts The appearances are that the sd-
vancas [the covert aets) have proceeded from

don and Paris, as theiT newspaper organs and
other indicators have shown and show, are
] sgraed in ell other features of their American
policy. that the question between them is one Of
/ oppUrtuuitv-that France thinks the opportunity
nearer at hand than England does. Il is not
difficult to see that the interests Of his Mex
4 lean policy, whatever they may be, or lie in wait
lcg being, hasten opportunity to Napoleon
view.
Butitis IS furthermore evident that with hinl
even opportunity dances attendance on public
/ opinion. Hence the persistent efforts OF the
journals he edits, from the cautious M0nlteHT
down through all the grades Of semi -oiiicis
! Journalism, to convert public sentiment to the
doctrine of mediation" Ana thence the Jnst-
ication Of my foregoing report on the lately
growing success Of these efforts, and on the
causes of such success.
