PUHLHC SENTIMENT Ia ENGLAND

PUBLIC sKNTImENT Ia ENGLAND
If the speech of Lord CAMPBELL, which we
pubHsbsd on Saturday, shall be taken and re-
1asdsd ss an index Of growing popular ssnti-
neas IN England, il is evident that that sen1-
nsns is undergoing ; mstsrisl change on the
subject Of slavery. Tbs speaker takes Che
ground that the true intsrsst sl6 welfare Of the
negro should be looked sfjeT, and not the ruin
and destruction Of The slave owner. This view
Of the question, he thinks, viii be better sub
served by the acknowledgment Of the indepeud-
suOsof the Southern ConfederAcy, than through
. state of indifference, 70 permit the North to
enforce her policy of emancipation of the black
and the subjagssiOn Of the white race IN the
States Of the South.
Lord CAMPBELL enforces this view Of the
question By laying bsfore his Aadencs the true
ecndih0n Of the negroes that hAvs been hber-
stsd By the progress Of the Federal arms. The
nan are forced into the front ranks Of the Yam
kss army, where they may be speedily killed
Of they are denied employment in the North
srn ssAsss By their hyPOcridOal sympsthiEsrS,
while the WRDan and children are lefs entirely
without protection, and suffered 70 die of hun
ger and Iostbsone and contagious diseases. In
his view Of the question, their present condition
and prospects do not compare fsvorAbly with
their condition Es hems, where they were com
f5rsAbly provided for and bad hind masters and
11istrsssss to look sitter their wsltIrs.
Froa this We might infer that the " Nobls
Lard" Is 8 genuine philsnthropisl, but we
nhoald rot forget that be is, at the same time,
81 sssute statesman. He may have very gen
Riae GRsction for Sambo and Dinah, but
glance At his speech viii show that the para
mount idsa in bis mind Ia the permanent sew
eEanee Of the North sad the South. The per-
msnent establishment Of colossal republic on
this eontinsHt Is the hideous spectsr that has
haunted British statesman and the British sris-
tooEscy for the last fifty yOAn The crowned
hasds Of Europe looked on its gigantic proper
tions and rapid progress with fear sad tremb-
ling. They knew that 50 long IS it was per
uisssd 20 grow and prosper, and finally, By sz-
ample, to prove to the world that man was ca
psbie Of selfgoTsTnmeat, the empires and
kingdoms and sEistocraae establishments of
Europe would tottsr and fsH. To stop it's pro-
gFsss by force Of AVIS Was not only hazardous
but impossible. They, therefore, set them
selves shout the work of lis division By the
propagation Of abolition sentiments and the
preaching Of philanthropy and the sin of
slavery. To make the holding sf slaves dis |
reputable, England took the lead By sbOlishing |
the institution in Der own West India colonies; |
her enissaries were sent across the Atlantic to |
preach 8 crusade against it in this county /
They net with fsYorsble reception and cor l
Dial welcome at the hands of our "Ncrtheru |
brethren" who had not the Psas!Tltion to sound /
Tie depths Of British policy and British in /
sEigUs. They rapidly fell into the saars sad at /
orcs inaugurAtsd = Systematic politico-rsligious /
warfare RgsinSt the slEvsholding States Of the /
SJuEh. In the halls Of Congress, through the /
public press and from the pulpit .hs unholy /
crusade has been incsssanily Esged until il |
las eliminated In EsTsrsace of the Union /
and given death blow to the future hopes and /
prosPscts Of the great American republic The 1
crowned heads and Grissocrafc orders Of Europe
clap their hands in sestAcy and cry aloud 1T
is finished, il is finished"
Yes, truly their diaboHcsl work is done
Like snothsr bEsd SAMPSON, they have wrsst-
ed The pillars from bensash the temple and nav
ysi be crushed By its fall Their great end be-
ing thus achieved, we may reasonably Isok for
ehsnge Of toas On the subject of slavery |
They vii cease thsir crusade against It, when
Il can 40 longer subserve their own selfish
hopes, dssirss and interests Lard CAMPBELL
has struck the key note. N his present view Of
tie question, the nsgro Is much better Of IN his
comfortable Southern home as aslaVe, than be
= u bis hOEtberR prison house as frsszsu.
Il Is evident, froR the direction Of bis tbousAts
t1as ne Is veerng round and preparing to open
the artillery Of his indignation sgsinst the l
North for thsir unchs5iEabls and ln5uman treat |
msDt Of the negro after his liberation. He ex. /
horts the Southern Independence Association of 1
Manchester, whose members he is addressing,
80 give then batteries this direction and We ad-
wise or gaend am bEsihTem at tbe North 70 |
make ready for the combat The South has now /
snsther RIcBA0ED in the field, and on the /
nghi part Of the field. Now that the great end
Of British aEt slavery agitation bis been
achieved (the dissolution Of she Union) We nav
reasonably lock foE change Of views, senti-
msnts and policy in that country On this
question Having succeeded in her efforts In
the severance Of the country, England viii Of
course take the necessary measures to keep It
divided. She can do this il no wsy 50 well as
BY recognising, at least for The present, ths in
stitufon Of slavery in the South. It is ne
eessarY as an element Of a9tagcnism between 1
the Northern and SoalheTn sectors, aad to pre-
vent reunion. Politics and State. craft make
strange bed fellows, and let rs not be surprised
II we jet see the Successors Of CLARKsOH and
WMsERFORcE sharing The sane couch with the
Southern slsveholdsr.
