ENGLAND'S POLICY.

England's policy necessarily makes
her an enemy of progress and liberty.
England, the birthplace Of modern
liberty, is nevertheless the friend OF
tyranls and the enemy of freedom
England, having commenced the
march Of Improvement, still favors old
abuses and props up worn-out systems.
England at home is not England
abroad. Although she has esperienc.
cd many of the blessings Of liberty,
she does all she can TO withhold il
from other nations. We derived our
liberty from her, but now She is will
ing to see our liberty destroyed and
our nation blotted out. When France
was struggling for liberty, she was will.
ing to crush first the Republic and then
the Empire, and place upon the ruins
the Bo1rhons, whose very name had
come TO be synonymous with tyranny,
bigoiry, idiocy, and liceniiousness.--
Tie reason Of this is plain. Liberty
at home favors her commercial inter-
esis; liberty abroad endangcrs them.
Liberty has made her great and pow
rrful and prosperous. 1t works the
same results the world over. But
when it results thus in a foreign ma
tion, it raises up a rival. II builds
up commerce which may surpass
that OF England--a maritime power
which may threaten her naval suprem.
acy. For this reason she had rather
sustain a dilapidated old empire like
Austria, whose whole power is spent
in crushing reforms, than favor in
the least nation fighting for that
which invigorates and strengthens.
France after the Revolution sprang
mp with the strength OF a giant.
From among the plebian conscripts
who filled the armies Of the young re-
public, arose a race Of leaders far dii-
ferent from The Eceniious idiots who
reyeled In the court Of the Bourbons.
The whole nation was aroused to new
life. A new spirit was abroad in the
land. Lafayette had proclaimed that
the new color would 90 round the
world The new government was
ieaFfully vigorous. Then England
began 10 tremble. What il this
strange energy should be allowed 10
remain and turn itself TO the pursuits
OF peace. The nation might soon rival
England IN commerce. She might
hare TO share the dominion Of the seas
with another people. This strange
activity might soon draw 10 itself The
commerce OF nations, whose commod-
itles increased the riches of England. |
The sails which whitened the Thames,
might soon enliren the harbors Of
France. The sristeeraey wss oppos- /
ed 10 the Hepubhe and the Empire on

interests, which had been I
The strength Of The peoples cause in
the days Of the Long Parliament and

principle TO interest. This turBed the
scale, and by their aid The aris,ocracy

thrust back upon the nation rulers
whose enterprise wouh neFer endsn-

The Exploits of Grierson's eaval-

Grierson's cavalry in their great
raid through Mississippi went more
than eight hundred miles in seventeen
days, fighting wherever they met with
opposition. They killed and wounded
great number of the enemy, aud de-
siroyed over four millions of dollars
worth of property which would have
been Of immense assistance 10 the rcb-
els in the prosecution Of the war. On
two important railroads they complete
I ly cut off all communication with the
strongholdS of the enemy. They took
over thousand prisoners, captnrcet
over twelve hundred horses, ana me-
naced the enemy at points where they
were least expected. An idea Of their
activity may be formed from the fact
that they travelled seyenty-fvo miles,
fought four battles, skirmished consid.
erably, forded river, and all of the
time neither men nor horses had any.

constantly in possession of the latest

effective force of at least five thousand
cavalry were sent against them, which,
whenever met, was defeated by our
men, with heavy loss to The rebels.
The expectation Of the rebels was that
Col. Grierson would attempt to return
TO Lagrange even after he had reached

not whit better than the Republicans. In sense,
they are worse. They know the wrong and yet the
wrong pursue Thsy sin in the faCe of light They are
opposed to the whole programme of the Abolition Ad'

South by arms. This msy'b be the result of hypocrisy

the Northern Democrats by far the most dangerous
enemies we have the North. The extravsgant sbOm
nations and oles of the Aboitionsts defeat their own

the civilized world But the Democrats seeking the
same eud-Our subjugatiOu-by moro artful deVices--
professions of moderation and friendship. The first are
