NORTHERN SESTIMENT.-It is strange how in.
telligent men at the North can entertain the least
idea Of restoring the Union. Such q thing is as
impossible for q man i'm the flesh to take a trip
TO "purgatory' and return again to this wicked
world. Tile States of the Confederacy never can
be subugated and it is certain that they will
voluntarily return to Union with the States of the
Lincoln Government. The people of the slave
States and free States cannot and will not live
together under the same Government. There is no
power in the Confederate Governmental it was SO
disposed) or in the Northern Government to force
the two peoples to live together again onenation.
The sooner every body. North and South; make up
their minds that this is unaterable fact. the
sooner will the be ended and our independence
acknowledged
The Hon. John j. Crittenden "a man who formerly
had host of admirers in the South but who has
now degraded himself by adhering to the Lincoln
GoSernment) made speech in Philadelphia re-
Gently, in which he helped to deceive the Northern
people by telling them it was possible to again re-
unite the North and Seuth-that while he was op-
posed to many acts of the U. S. Government, he
was in favor of prosecuting the war; not because he
hated the Southern people but because he loved the
Union and was unwilling to see it broken up; and
he was short-sighted enough to express the opinion
that we should be again united under the same flag.
Mr. Crittenden is a Kentuckian, and ought to know
Southern sentiment well enough to know that his
prophecy can never be verified; yet he deludes q
Northern audience with the idea that the old Union
can be established What halluenation what
Ignorance.
ENGLISH NEUTRALITY.-It was shown by Pres-
dent Davis in his late Message. and has been time
and again demonstrated by the Confederate press,
that the so-caled neutrality of England was more
to the advantage of the Yankees than to the Con-
federates. The 'Albion." an English paper printed
in New York, acknowledges that this opinion is
correct by the following declaration:
There can be no doubt whatever that the gene
raj effect of the neutral policy pursued by England
has been fas the Southern organs most truly COM
plain) to favor the belgerent which has from the
first had the command of the and it is scarcely
possible that the North can fail in the long to
recognize the papable fact that it is UNNECESSARILY
more indebted than the South for English supplies
of the material of was.''
The Richmond Enquirer, in an article reviewing
the subject of foreign neutrality and favoring the
withdrawal of the Confederate Commissioners from
England and France, says:
1.-The conclusion of the whole matter s, that
Great Britain is (next to the Yankees our worst
and deadiest enemy; and France, if not actively
our enemy, is yet so impeded by the jealous com
plicatons of European diplomacy, that she cannot
as yet be actively friend. And here it is right
to remark once mere, that the Confederate Govern
ment has never asked inters enton in its favor. 1t
is the Yankee Government only that has asked Eu-
ropean aid. We have never demanded anything
but real not pretended neutrality and the recogni
ton of the plain fact that we independent
people. Those just demands not to be accorded.

potent aud yindctve enemies, with all the rest of
the world more less actively engaged on their
side. Be it SO; cannot be- subdued and here
after we shall be the less embarrassed by obliga-
tions and entangling alliances
