LONDON. April 5, 1868 The Union rsviva
in the North has caused new outbreak of Bit
tsrness and louder call fer intervention smong
those who sympsthizs with the South. It is q
great disappointment. As the secsssionists re-
lied upon the State Rights principles of the
Northern Democracy, their English sym5a-
tbizers relied upon their opposition to Mr Lin,
coin generally, and to many of bis acts and
pTselsmatiOns. The Democratic party has been
looked upon as favorable 70 State Rights, as CD
posed to Capitalization, and issloUs of the cen
tTsl government. But it is now seen that many
of the prominent leaders Of the Northern De-
mocracy, if not the whole party, prizs the Union
far mOre than sl the constitutions and sovor.
eighties Of the States. The Union, first, last,
and always, appears now to be the rallying cry
of the North, irrespective of party. Union, at
every. cost and at any price. This, If I under
stand It, is the resolution of the North and it is
net, ss you may well believe. q pleassat one to
the great body Of the governing classes in Eng
land, who believe that Unien is gone, psst re-
covery-and who hope it still more.
l. is net strange, then, that when new out
burst of Union sentiment at the North threatens
to dissppoint this hope. great efforts should be
made to force their government into policy of
Intervention, or TO DO something which may
bring or a war, and so make Intervention neces-
sary When It says that a strong, united and
vigorous South must soon win her independence
from beaten and divided North, there was no
eall for intervention. "Why trouble ourselvss7"
it was asked. The ConfedsTates are doing
well enough. We shall only stir up and unite
the North against them by our interference"
But whom the North IS united, and determined
to sacrifice property, life, cherished principles,
everything for the Union, and when the South
is likely TO be overborne and crushed By great
and uuitsd effort, the case assumes a different
aspect. There comes an appeal ioT help And
there comes q stronger appeal TO interest and
fear. The Eoglish have committed themselves
so deeply to the cause Of the South, that their
pride is engaged in the struggle. Almost every
public man of influence, snd almost every news
paper above the class which belongs to the
lower millions who are without political infu-
ence, has been thoroughly committed to the
Southern cause. They viii not see that cause
lost without a vigorous effort.
On the other band there is the fear of what
America would do if united and at peace in her
own borders. The English know that they de-
serve no friendship from the Federal Govern
menE A great struggle would begin. Canada
and British Columbia would be lost at tha first
blow. at the next, ths West Indies and Mexi-
co would fall under the power of the great Re-
public There would be great war, costly and
ruinous to E1glsnd and, confident as she gen
erally is, it is war not without its terToTs But
al this can be avoided if the South can gain
her independence. England viii keep out of
the contest, giving only 81 possible under
hand aid, comfort and announcement. She
viii stand By and see fair play just as long
ss the South seems likely to hold her own,
and as long as the North seems divided and
likely TO be beaten. But when it seems prob
able that the South may be overcome, England
viii and must intervene Shs must come to
the rescue to guard her own future. America a
united and and powerful empire, with strong
Government and large land and naval forces, is
q very fearful matter. It was not the interest
Of England that the old Union should BE- de-
atroyed Her interests have greatly suffered
from the war. But now that secession has
come and war has begun, it is very greatly and
urgently her interest that the South should sue
easd In her effort for independence. England
has no interest in the Polish struggle, which
still continues she has no very powerful politi-
cal interest in the Italian question. These are
chiefly matters Of sentiment. A little money
and diplomatic offices viii be given IN aid of the
Poles; but this American affair is q much more
vital matter. The first thing every EDglishman
looks for, on opening tho morning paper, is
news from America. He watches for the even
ing edition, to see If a steamer has arrived. Hs
