There may be neater ways of saying that
nations involved in serious domestic trouble are
not likely to profit much by the sympathy of
their neghbors--in fact nay think themselves
lucky if their calamity is not made their neigh

man who even seems TO be going down bill does
not expect to have his descent impeded-he
thinks himself happy if it be not accelerated
by the boots OF his prosperous neishbors.
Gov. Stewards annual budget OF diplomatic
correspondence bears melancholy testimony to the
verify of the more discCuragiag aspect of tie
Presidents remark. Il Is thoroughly clear that
the Great Powers of Western Europe are most
anxious for the success of the Shareholders
Rebellion. They talk enough of their good
wishes, their impartialty, their anxiety to
stay the ef'usion OF blood, &C., &C., but they

struggle at all, are all but unanimous in their
solicitude for our National disruption and hu-
initiation. They realize that the principle of
Popular Government is here on trial-tbat

who sides with the Slayeholding Rebels,
and hardly an aristocrat who does lot openly
