Northern States is very natural, and that when the
case is stated from the Union point of VIEW II is im
possible to help feeling certain degree OF sympathy
with their rernonstrances. IL contends, however,
that many of the complaints against the British
Government are irrelevant, and that they amount
altogether TO very httle and adduces arguments

cial men might mitigate the horrors OF war, and do
something to prevent warfare by urging On the
Government moderation and Cancellation. The Free
dom of commerce and its consequent extension
would do much to do away with war. Looking to
America, the most gigantic confscaton that over
took place had just been proclaimed by President
Lincoln as military necessity, and he argued gener

subject Of international maritime Inv.
Mr. Bright said he did not think that success would
attend any attempt in Parliament TO undo what was
done a. the Congress of Paris in 1854. II did not

contend that the more horrible warfare was made

Afef giving bis approval TO the cession Of the

guilty in Lancashire. He saId the American war
had produced strange paralysis IN Lancashire. One
party destroyed cotton, the other preventeds trans.

IN existence was variOusIy estimated at about two
70 four millions of bales bat he believed the stock
was really much below the higher figure. An armis-

prices, and sudden ruin 10 many. This led him to
complain that tbs Foreign Secretary by declaring his
