European Political Dodgcs--EnGlfsh
Dlsster Over the Adams Certincate-
Tho Joint Mote. 10 Rsssis. iss
Some of our contemporaries appear 10 be
greatly alarmed at the tone which is being
adopted by the English press in. regard to
what Is termed the Adams certificate"
They seem to think that it means trouble, or,
case which warrants such conclusion. When
nations 60 to war it is not for constructive
injuries or affronts. There must be a plain
violation of International law or an unmistake-
able intention to insult to justify resort to
such an alternative. Now nothing of either
kind can, by any perversion Of reasoning,
be wrung out Of the certificate given by
our Minister. In no sense of the word was
this document :" q protection /, The terms
in which it is couched expressly exclude such
an Inference, and Admiral Dupont would not
consider himself bound by ii should he happen.
to differ from its conclusions. The excitement
that is being raised about it has therefore no
real foundation. What, then, is the motive for
investing it with so much gravitys II is clear
enough There is nothing which in their
hearts the English aristocracy dread go much
as war with this-country. Once involved in
such an undertaking there would be no safety
FOR the institutions under which they enjoy tho
to which II would lead would not only ruin the
finances of England, but would light the, flames
OF revolution and bring about political changes
that would swallow up hereditary privi-
ieges of every kind. For these reasons
no sooner does dificnlty threatening
a dijturbance OF amicabie relations with the
United States spring up than fictitious one 10
started to divert attention from it and weaken
its effect. The condition Of the operatives Of
Crest Britain is becoming such a. to exciteths
grayest .apprehension in tho minds. Of ito
rulers. They are under constant dread that
theywill be compelled 10 take steps to en-
deavor to liberate the cotton, the want of which
is the cause Of so much suffering. They know'no
better means Of indefinitely postponing the war
which this must bring about with us than, BY
resoFting to the pathological remedy Of counter
irritation. Accordingly small issues like that
raised BY the Adams certificate are taken up
and undue importance given to them to dis
tract attention from Question which is 70
pregnant with danger. BY the government, as
we'll as the opposition, these are treated with
such show of earnestness that the masses are
deludsd into the belief that they are Of vital inn
.portance. THERE'S, therefore, neither in its own
character nor in the manner in which il is being
handled the slightest ground for apprehension
that the Adams certificate will lead 10 any
fresh dihiculty with England, still less to war.
There has never been, in fact, since the rebel
lion brolo out any real danger OF this latter
result in the Trent affair the English govern
ment manifested, by its subsequent conduct,
batitlnever hadany intention of pushing mat
ters to this extent All the present vaporing
and hectoring on the part of English party
organs lis simply to throw dust in the eyes of
the masses and b divert their attention from
their own suferhgs. We, who are so fertile in
party dodges, ought not to be blinded by tac-
tics Of this kind. SO far from Indicating de-
sire TO push matters to extremes with u.s. they
evince disposition to sail around any difficulty
that we may choose TO raise with them.
The game that is being thus played with us
by England on her own account is being re-
enacted by her conformity with France and Aus
tria in regard to Russia. Many believe that
there is danger Of general European
war because. the three 6?st named Powers have
separately addressed note to Russia calling
upon her TO change her policy towards Poland.
1t is to avoid such contingency, aud not to
provoke IT, that this communication has be en-
addressed to Russia. Louis Napoleon has no
idea ofembarkng in protracted and costly
war TO restore the nationality Of Poland, still
less have England and Austria. 1t is not q
sense of justice or humanity that inspires heir
joint action. They remonstrate with Russia, not
because they think her conduct towards Poland
harsh and impoltic, but because they fear that
IL the Polish revolution makes head and
succeeds the revolutionary spirit will spread
Europe and endangcr monarchical
institutions everywhere. Therefore they assume
this attitude in the hope that It may have the
eject Of frightening the Czar into the desired
