stand why the English mind Is desirous Of hors

less proud than heretofore to accept for truth
the representations Of the aristocracy and Its
trucuient followers.
Therc are countless Influences at wotk In
England In hvor of American independence
and unity, other than those arising from mere
copsidcratiops Of commercial interest. The
vast body Of dlsseuters In the United Kingdom,
the great majority Of the people thus far de-
prfved N political power and Influence, have
hitherto presented determined front against

yention in favor of disintegration of the Union.
Again, the representative men Of the Kingdom
are, moro or le~s openly, heartily on the eide OF
the NORTH; end the Proclamation Of january
LIST, 1865, has enabled them 70 enlist the sup
port Of every enlightened mind In the country
In furtherance Of their views. Individual In
fuence in European nations ia much more con-
siderable than In the American Republic. A
column might be filled With the names Of such
men" household words" in England's poll
tics, arts, science and ,itsrature-as well in the
ranks Of the nobility % among the people.
The EngliAh, however, are generally deficient
In organization. Accustomed to think and act
individually. they arc slow TO learn the strength
Of association in behalf Of Q common object,
from which their privileged class has FOR so
many years derived its power. At certain Pc
RODS, nevertheless, they have united them
selves In leagues or unions; and In bshalf Of
Parliamentary reform, the repeal OF the corn
laws, or ths removal OF the paper duties, they
have proven that strength does really lie with
the people, wheaever the people choose to OK

" The press Of Great Britain Is certainly ros
represented by thoss Journals which are most
frequently Quoted on this side the Atlantic.
There are scores Of daily papcr, the names
even Of which arc unknown In the United
States, welding an important influence upon
public opinion, although more or less local.
Others, such for example ss the Nass, Aorr-
ing Post, Hsroii, Globe, and the weekly critical
Journals, do nos possess the influence as-
cribsd to them by Americana. Tbs 7iass
even is no exception 10 this rule, for English
men are coustltutionalIy obstinate, and like
not that others shall @Sorm their opinions for
them. The British bssion expresses It's will
In two modes: through the House of Commons,
ordinarily the mere exponent Of the sristo
cratic governing class; or by public meetings
seldom frequented by oshers than the people
Public meetings have never yet failed to Prov
the more powerful of the two modes, wheueveI
the nation has decided on = change Of policy
10 It's rulers or In compelling them TO shapt
their measures In conson ance with the national
wish. Never In tho history of auy nation have
such sssemblages been productive Of SO much
good as In England; and England's aristocrscy
and former tyrsnts have naturally regarded
them with fear and shhorrence. Il 10 thss,

would prove immedis,ely apparent in the poll

huences In favor of strict and honest neutral

Germs. But the rebels have hitherto takel
heart, through all their disasters, from the at
titude OF European Governments; and dems
gogues in the North have constantly menace
the loyal citizeus Of the Union with this bug
bear Of foreign Intervention. Let this chirner

States will DO aided In its efforts to crush tn
dying efforts oftraitors, and IN reconstructin
the Union Of all the States on an entirely fro
