We observe that that influential exponent Of the
dominant party the New York Tribune, continues to
agitate the question that has been raised as to the
time when and the circumstances under which it
may be desirable for the National Government to
welcome foreign mediation Offering an expedient
fol closing the present war.
Replying to a contemporary which had contro-
veI.cd the opinions Of the Tribune on this topic,
tho latter paper argues that " the great Industrial
and commercial interests Of Western Europe, suf-
fering severely from the existence and the gigantic
eger-incroasing Gimensions Of our civil war, have
been naturally and reasonably anxious that this
war should come to end that some limit should
be fixed or found to its duration" And 10 the
event that our pending military operations in the
West Hshoud prove as abortive as those of the
last summer" the Tribune holds that European
intervention thereupon is as certain, If not so plea
SAINT, as roses in June. And it is likely to be, =
adds that journal, g a concerted, imposing, deter
mined movement, that cannot be effectively parted
by frown, shrug, or sncer." To this cfectth
Tribune says:
Europe viii say ton in effect: You damaging our
out apparent result probable end Is not possible to
effect reconciliation without further bloodshed With
the good will To both parties, tsrder our best
efforts to that end Why should they not be mutually ac-
cepted? Very different responses may be made to this
question We have suggested one of them Let this with
all others, be duy weighed and considered"
In the present posture of the mediation ques-
ton" our New York contemporary thinks that the
insurgents have US at an advantage, because they
have seemed willing to accept the moral aud ra-
tional award of peaceful arbitration while soe have
hitherto relied on force alone. To this purport the
Tribune says:
"As the rebels have stesdfasily courted aregn later
vention have SYSTEMATICALLY appealed to the judgment and
the interest of Europe for early termination Of de-
snatng contest while side has resoutey repealed
such intervention it is not 10 be disguised that the rebels
have had disadvantage and have made progress in
Old World good opinion. dnd in lohe-ein moral
oe material focss etectre every such contest
