OUR FRIENDS IN FOREIGN L,yns.

ONh EAAEhRS IN EOhEIGN LANDS.
While the great States of PennsvIvanlq.
Ohio, and Indiana are declaring their deter
mination 10 support the Government in the
prosecution of the war; while the voice of
our army is heard above the sounds Of battle,
swearing to stand true to the Administration
as long as It continues to stand true to them
while Maryland, redeemed, regenerated and
disenthralled by the inevitable genius of uni
Versal emancipation" stands forth an eternal
monument Of the great good achieved by
President LINCOLN and his policy, our friends
across the sea are not silent.
Every steamer which reaches our shore,
brings us words of cheer, advice, and encour-
agement. JOHN BRIGHT sends one of his
whele-souled letters, DE GAsPARIN one Of
his polished logical epistles, and finally,
EDoUABD LABoULAYE writes us an impas-
stoned appeal to do our duty to our country
and the world. Removed beyond the passion
OF the day, his penetration enables him to
pierce the Gimsy veil Of politicians, and lay
bare the true issues Of the controversy. He
says:-
"Mr. ABRAHAM LINCOLN represents a policy
Of the most perspicuous kind, which may be
summed up in two sentences-thc maintenance
" OF she Union, the abolition of slavery. Every
thing else is only accessory. General McCLEL-
" Ian protests his devotion u INC Union, and his
desire TO re-establsh peaSe and concord; but
7" these are general expressions which hide the
true idea of the party. To those who know
:, now 70 read Its motto, his banner bears the in
scription, The re-establisllm0nt of the Union as
" 1t was, slavery remaining an internal que ,tion
that IS to say, slavery remaining"
Here, as it were in a nutshell, is the true
issue. Could it possibly be summed up
more clearly and concisely?
He has every facility abroad for judging OF
the true situation of the South, far better
opportunities than are vouchsafed to us at the
North. The immense financial interest held
by France in Confederate bonds secures them
every facility for acquiring correct informa
hon. With all these advantages, hear LABoU
LAYE's opinion
"Despite the courage of its soldiers, the energ.
and talent of its generals, the South Is pantn
for breath II has no longer an army of reserve
victory Will moi save it, a new campaign ma
end 1t. All its hopes are destroyed"
He selects as his motto the sublime sayin
ofFRANKLIN, "Those toho sacrifice liberty 3
obtain moments security, deseroe TO ol
tain neither liberty nor security"-a mott
which should have its appropriate place 9
the banners of the LINCOLN and JoHNso
clubs.
After the years of war and bloodshed b
North has undergone, he calls upon us not
surrender on the eve of victory all our we
earned triumphs. He says:-" Success
almost certain, victory assured, and {
North is finally on the verge of a glorio
" triumph. And is it at this moment that Il
American people viii listen to men VIII
Spropose to it abdication9"
The voice of the dOwn-trodden of EuroI
speaks to us through him.
But If liberty is eclipsed in the New Worl
Z" darkness will cnsue in Europe; and we sha
see the work of WAsHIHGTON, FRANKLIN, az
HAMILTON spit upon and trodden under foe
" bv a school that believes only in strength al
"success."
He concludes his very able letter with {
impassioned appeal
This is why VIC await with impotence Il
4" Presidential election, praying God that Il
name that shall be drawn from the urn may
4" that Of the honest and upright ABRAHAM LII
" COLIN, for this name will he presage Of victor
the triumph Of justice and right. To vote Il
MCCLELLAN is 10 vote for the humiliation OF tl
"Nouh, the perpetual maintenance of SLAYER
and the disruption of the great Republic. I
vote for LINCOLN is to vote fUr Union and Il
Liberty"
Fit sentiment fol one who has all his III
battled against the tyranny of France, VII
has held up America as a model to Europ
and has aided the cause Of freedom by bol
bis voice and penl
