the people Of Great Biita'n warnir support
Lord Pa!perston in this policy; aud &c we
may accept this as tho sentiment of the
masses in the United Kingdom.
Another consideration pf 10 htti, siguiii
caucs is the lear which the Eng!ish entertain
Of the Yankees. This is not. we believe, a
positive fear O. the power of the United Statas
Government To "whip England" On that
point the self-reliantc aud confidence III the
Eaglisbnsn are sufficient. Put it il the fear
of the consequences Of q war with thu United
Ssatos, which has done much to "a deter tho
British Government from recognizing the
Oon sderate Stats At Present, as We have
already stated nrl the iahoring classes in
the manufacturing districts are the sufferers
from the war; but British charity is doirs
much to alleviate this suffering. Now the
bluster;Dg thrests of the Yankee Government
to consider recognition as intervention have
really intimidatdd Lord Palmerston. We
know absolutely that the British Govern
ment wers i"formed. by the Yankee Govern
msnt more than q year ago, that rscogn:tioa
would be COS sidered a casus beUi. En-. .liah-
men lock upon the Yankees as race Of mad
men, capable OF doing anything; and, conse-
quently, they think t. Yankees might be
foolish enough to put this throat ito execu-
cution. Then, however, Ysukee privateers
would swarm on all the sess, pnd Bri ish
commerce Wit, En- ope, South America,
China and India would DO rendered insecure.
1t is, therefore, 4 question: cf dollars aud cents
with them; and thus lhsy prefer to submit
to present ineonvenence rather than run
the risk Of war with the Yankees, in W hich
their co onmcreial interests might suif1r so
enormously. Can Ne, then, be .stonished in
ths fsce "f these fscts That Great Britain has
not acknon edged tho Independence 0! tht,se
Coniedcrsto States;
As for Earl Eas"sIi, he is \ &eAk Headed,
stubborn leader OF the Exntcr Hall Schuul
who only hates the Yankees less thsn no
does ,hs Southeraers. From him wo have
nothing to h'r; and for hiEn y: should care
less.
Ii was unfoftprste Tor us tnat y, much
noise wss made abou: ihY blockade. Very
easily III. Int II have tsen fnrese.n thst it
would result, as j. has done. II.l We re-
mained quiet, End Ruifa:ed lha blockade to
60 Into fleet with simple protest, the YEN
KEGS would never have been goadcd Oh by
blockade half ns effective as i: is. Thus all
supplies needed for our dcian4e nigh: long
ago have bean obtained by running The block
ade; ami so having been better AIMED at an
earlier stage Of the war, 40 might have made
the Yarkees give up ihs invasion before this
hour.
Now, however, ~e know what - haze 70
expect IRON Grest Britain, and some vf the
reasons why that government will never re-
cogniza the South, unless eomo unexpected
complication between the United States and
Great Britain should CAUSE il, till, with our
own strong arms and brave hear:e, wo haze
driven without our borders tho vile Invader.
1t i, not denied that The English people, ne
we'll So all Europe, are amazed at our achieve
ment:;, and are full Of Ammunition OF our
brave aTmy. They, indeed, have r sympathy
for us, "parlor sentiment" which il al
ways inspired by great and bravo deeds; but;
deluded as they are abcu. India cotton sad
tho effect of reccgoili,n. they will nevee re-
cognizs us. 10 doubt is entertained cf our
ultimate success; and this is an additional
motive for inaction. AS yet wo hsvc moth
ing for which to thank Great R;tai:,, and we
are rejaiced at it,
