The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1862-12-12

even the sad details Of the losses on each stricken
field, should shock his delicate nerves and put him
into spasmodc state of philanthrop;c activity ?
Has Ho,spur changed suddenly into the popin-
jay described by Shakespeare p
a certain lord, neat, trinity dressed
Flesh as q bridegroom: and his chin new reapd
Showed like stubble field a: harvest home
He was perfumed like a miner
And 'twiXt his niger and his thumb he held
A pouncet box, which and anon
He gave hs nose, and took It away again
Who Herewith angry. when it next came there
Took it in snuff and still he smiled and talked,
And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
lie called them-untaught tnav.s, nnmHnnerly'
TO hiring slOvenly unfRudseme corce
Betwixt the wind and his nobility.
Nobody bel ievs, that the English character has
SO suddenly changed. Nor can we forget how
these same gentlemen, whose souls now seem to
sicien at the bare thought of blood, one year ago
almost bal!i9d their goYernmenL into var with
the United states baca4se oHe OF our naval cap
ta,as had arrested, upon the high SEAS, two mis-
cradle ta;lor ENJOYS to foreign powers, WHO had
committed the highest crime known TO the laws
Of am csentry and were then at work 70 consum-
mate their treason. 1t is not the de,oiston and
shedding Ct Blood that these gentlemen OF the
mother country dep.ore, for If they were sure that
by such means The American Republic would be
blotted oat OF existence they would at once cry
havoc and le. slip the dogs OF war. Nor is 1t the
cry Of starving Lancanshire operatives that so
moves their bowels Of compassion. England is
abundantly abie if sac HIS the disposition, to feed
her hungry oor,-and If she will not do It, the
charities Of the people Oh this side the Atlantic
can and will make up the deficiency.
No. none OF these are ;he true reason, which
animate such writer's as the che from which We
have quoted. they are moved by lower and
more mercenary considerations. 1t is not the
starving operatives q lancashire, whose cries
move English a,istocracy -: is The lordy man
uhc,ureys who fail to reap their accustomed
golden harvest. And it is not the crimson battle
fields Oh this size of the Atlantic, that disturb the
reposs Of the Bsitish arStocTacy, for they know
as vel. as We, tina, the contest would have been
ended long ago, and with infinitely less bood-shed
had not English ships, Eoghsh money, and
English sympathy, aided and strengthened the
rebellion, beyond measure. It is English money
and EogIsh machinery that hsye 6ttsd out the pr
rate Alabama, now plundering peaceful Ameri-
can commerce, and wasting and burning millions
Of dollars worth of property, while English ports
are being used to tit DAT pirates like the Alabama;
md ,hua tho bit,orrees of the strife between the
NO sections is made mere intense by the work Of
ustsuch mea and doctrines as and place in the
London Quarterly. And all this is done, not in
be interest Of humanity, but TO aid 10 permanen:
disruption and destruction Of American Democ-
,acy, and in building up on its ruins man owning
aeartIess a.stoeracy That shall not continually put
to shame the boa.ted liberties Of the English ma.
