Mr.. Cox said. in offering this resolu-
4 ton, he was following y precedent which,
BY the adviccs by last steamer, has been
set in the English Parliament, calling IN
all Communications between the English
\ Government and the Federal and Confed-
crate Governments. While he could
confidently assume that the most friendly
understanding existed between the U. s.
and the European powers, yet the cores
4 pondence called for he thought would dis
close the fact that upon every reason
growing out of international comfy the
time had come for Europesns Governments
to revoke their recognition OF the insur-
gsncy here as be lligerent power. What
ever our opinion might be rs to the time
during which the war would continue,
there was one thing sure, the eliminating
point had been reached. The insurgents
had failed to maintain themselves before
the world, and with the use of civil coun.
sci the restoration of tho Federal authority
was assumed. This fact is being recog-
nized abroad Its consequence ought to
be the abrogation Of the be!igerent rights
granted to the rebellion. The resolution
, was adopted. a464fE
