ENGLISH INFLUENCE AGAINST
AMERICA,

The London Times has long been TO
markable for the talent with which it gets
IN, and sustains the most barcfaccd falso~
lcods. If a client, whether ho be En-
r..ror Of Russia, or Prime Minister of Eng
land, ask this journal to plead for him,
and can pay sufficiently to make it worth
Tie while, it is no matter what kind OF case
lv has at his back-good, bad, or inditfer
eat-the task is sure to be undertaken, and
j. will 70 hard but the Thundcrer will win
lin verdict.
No ono, therefore, acquainted with the
,lcrcenary character Of this journal, need
lc surprised at the course which it has pur-
sued with respect 10 this country, from the
commencement Of the war down to the
present time. The gold Of JEFF Davis, aud
the bribes and influence Of the British aris-
tocracy and the cotton lords, have been at
the bottom Of all the opposition and abuse
which we have met with at its hands, THIS
nnprincipled hireling who bellows so loudly
for the Confederates, and takes every op~
portunity to ridiculc our arms and dis
courage those friends abroad who hope and
pray for our SUCCESS, is the most formidable
enemy with which We have to contend in
England, influencing, By the power Of its
Satanic intellect, the Parliament, the Cabi-
netand the people, and throwing tAewho}e
force Of diplomacy against us
With such IN advocate, speaking to
hundreds Of thousands Of people at ono
and the same time, making the right seem
wrong, and the wrong right, it is no Won
der that England should show so bold 8
front to US just now, and do her utmost to
destroy The Republic She regards this
not as a civil war between q lawful Gov
ernment and its rebellious subjects, but as
deadly struggle Of principles, the issue Of
which involves the fate both Of dcspotism
and liberty, not in America alone, but all
over the civilized world

It is impossible for the English Govern
