Lord Palmerston III this policy; aud &c vi
may accept this as the sentiment of Tat
masses in the United Kingdom.
Another consideration Cf no litli. sigu;f
cauce is the lear which thu English entertain
Of tho Yankees. This is not. we believe, &
positive fear o the powsr Of tho United Slatas
Government To "whip England" On thai
point the self-relianSo mud confidence III the
Englisbmsn are sufficient. Put it il the fra.
of tbc consequences Of war With tho United
Statos, which has done much to "a deter The
British Government from recognizing the
Don 'ederate Stats At Present, as we have
already stated nrl, tie iaboring classes in
the manufacturing districts are the sufferers
from the war; but British charity is ioirg
much to alleviate this suffering. Now ths
clustering thrests Of the Yankee Government
to consider recognition as Intervention have
really intimidatdd Lord Palmerston. We
know absolutely that the British Govern
ment " ere irformed. by tho Yankee Govern
msnt more than year ago, that recognition
would be CO sidered casus bsRi. En-. lioh-
men look u2on the Yankees as race Of mad
men, capable Of doing ANYTHING; and, conse-
quently, they think t Il Yankees might be
foolish enough to put this throat tito excel
cution. Then, however, Yankee privateers
would swarm on all the seas, "nd Bri ish
commerce with En- ape, South America
Ohins and India would DO rendered insecure.
1t is, thsrsfore,a question Ct dollars and cents
with them; and thus lhsy prefer to submit
to present inGnnvcnience rather ihsn run
the risk Of a war with the Yankees. in which
their co nmcrcial interests might suif1r so
enormously. Dan sc, then, be s:tonishad in
ths face nf these fscLs That Great Britain has
not scknon ledged the Independence .: 'hnse
Confederate States;
AS for Earl Els.eli, hs ii rcak headed
stubborn leader OF the E<etcr Hall School,
who only hates the Yankees less than TO
does ,hs Southeraers. From him wo have
nothing to hr:t; End :or biz" wa sforld care
less.
II wss unfortunate for us that Il, much
noise wss made abou: th9 blockade. Very
easily might 1t have kssn forese:n thss it
would result. as j. h,s drne. HI we re-
NAMED quiet, snd suifc.ed II" blockade to
60 into elect With simple prolts', the Ieit-
KEGS would never have been gnsdcd Oh by
terror and fear Of intervention to mako tie
blockade half N elective as il is. Thus all
supplies needed for our dcf;.n+e nigh. long
ago have been obtained by running the blot h
adt; and 30, having boon better AIMED at an
earlier stsge Of the war, 40 might hare msds
the Yankees give up ihs INVASION before this
hour.
Now, however, We know what o. haze TO
expect from Grest Britain, and some vi the
reasons why that government will never re-
cognizs the South, unless como unexpected
complication between the United States and
Great Bitsin should CAUSE il, till, with our
own strong srms and brsve hesr:e, wo haze
driven without our borders thu vile Invader.
1t i, not denied that ths English peop!a, as
we'll So all Europe, are nmazad at our Aa5;avc-
menis, and are full Of admiration OF cur
brave a'my. They, indeed, have a sympathy
for us, "parlor sentiment" which il al
ways inspired by great and bravo Gccds; but.
deluded as they are abcu. India cotton sad
the effect of recognition. they will nevee re-
cognizs us. no doubt is entertained Gf our
ultimate success; and this is M additional
motive for inaction AS yet wo have moth
ing for which to thank Great Ritai;', AMI We
arc rej:iccd at it.
