The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1863-08-07

A contemporary remarks that this people OF
America never kuow that they have dsus
Thing right till they get the opinion of the Ems
lisa people on she subject. NotiODg ago the came
REMARK, ia substance, was made Of the United
States by one Of the members Of the British
Houas of Lords. Al far as the Yankees are
concerned, there is no doubt Of it's truth. And
We fear ,ha. it is In some measure applicable
10 ourselves. Yet there was always this diff
fsrencs, that no touch Of servi.ity OF Hankey
lam ever characterized the Gndoubted respeC ct
Ia which Eosiisi, opinions have always been
held here No Eagish notabili!y was ever
l'oulzsa In the S,uth, excep. by fsw tnft
hnntsrs, whereas in the North Marystt, Dick
tns, aud ali the other English celebrities, as
we'll as European adventurers, that incompar.
sals bumbng, Kossath, incladsd, ran the pso-
pie stark, staring mad. Southern respec. for
England In general has never failed TO bs self
respecting, and is suoh ss proud, high.spirlted
people may naturally feel for an ancestry who
csnnot be disparsged without dispalasing them
selves. Nevertheless there have been too
many exceptions n the rule Of late, especially
rincs the present war. Ind too much incina-
tion TO receive ~ o.aciss the criticisms Of the
Euglisa press upon all matters Of Americsn
concern. Perhaps it would be best TO
eousult oracles lsss ignorant Of >hs ques-
.ions which they are expected to decide. 80
far as slavery 10 concerned they not
ouy do hot know, bnt do not want
10 know, tie truth so far a. relates to our
mode Of conducting the war, We are quite ~
competent to form An opiaion as people three

IL because Confederate va!or deserves the tri
butte, and it Ia neither moro nor lsss wsritorious
because its victorious thunders waksn echoes
from all paris Of the world. Wswould better
chow our admiration Of Eaeland 10 smulating
ito pride than in feeling so!lcitude for i,s apprO
hatiou. For our own part, II there Is one
,hiDg more than another we rsepect In the
Ecglsh, IL is their self respsct. They don't
value tae, opinion of the rest Of the world q
gfos.. % they have their own good opinion. II
is equally immsssrial to them what France
Gsrnapy, Rome or Timbuctoo thinks Of them
aud their doings. They monepolizs the Ami
can pl iisn.hropy market, snsiavs Coolies and
blow Hepoys from the mouths OF their cannon
with equal selfcomplscsnsy. 1t John bal'
