In many instances it is difficult to say

their arguments against our cause are ahR-
contestble proof of the immeD,e strength Of

rate as The Timcs Post, Heratd, of london.
and THE Guardian of Manchester, hvc tried
80 persistently to prove to their rcaer', that
the Federal Government was indiaepnt to tho
moral question OF Slavery
The more candid among our opponents viii
not deny that of late the Anti Slaveg sentiment
in England and other European Countries has
begun to exhibit greater influence. IL 10 be-
coming apparent that if the Federal Govern.
ment can carry out its policy, it viii be fatal
blow to the continuance of 'Savery, while the
South has not yet minated any other desire
than to perpetuate Slavery forever. This fact,
which no one here has the bardhood to deny, needs
only to be generally acknowledged in Europe,
and it would produce public opinion IN favor
of the suppression of the Rebellion that would
sweep everything before it
The recent activity displayed by the anti
Slavery men of England is, therefore, siga
of the times that ought not to be moderated
If moral principles are more fully understood
by the masses OF the people, they viii be sure
to overcome at length an opposition that rests
The complete triumph of emancipation in the
Colonies of all the European States, and, moro
recently. the steady and universal progress OF
liberal and democratic tendencies in every State
of Europe, are striking proofs of this fact.
The recent uttcrances Of. the anti-Slavery mea
of Europe promise another such movement.
Let the people Of Europe only learn that tho
which restores to millions OF
bondmen the inalienable right to personal
liberty which belongs to every human being,
has gone forth and is beginning to have its
natural effect, and wa shall hear the joyous
shouts of the emancipated negroes reechoed
by all Europe. The common veneration of tho
grea. principle of personal liberty which is 80
deeply implanted in human nature, will once
more call forth an irresistible tide of public
opinion, and amid the joy and the applause OF
tue good of all lands and nations, the time
will speedily come when oil Jokes shall be
broken, and all the oppressed shall go free.
