states Navy Is now equal, IT not superior, TO
England's, is more startling still. She cannot
brook that the scoptre Of the seas shall be
snatched from her grasp and transferred TO
the magnificent young Republic Of The West
ern Continent
Hence her policy was to use every means at
her command TO secure the election of those
men in the North who were favorable to 'Get-
ting the South depart in peace But the
ireemcn Of the North did not look through
English glasses, nor did they heed the gratui-
tous and impertinenl advice Of The Tines and
indcC.
The reelection Of Mr.. LNCOry has aston
ished the sympatbizers with the Rebellion in
England and thoy have awakened to the truth
thai the North is in earnest, aud that It intends
10 put down the traitors at any and all costs.
Accordingly tLe Times tacks and says chat st
can see no reason for alarm on LrSCoLN's re
election. The interests Of England are probl-
bly, safer in his than in other hands" IL also
thinks that "Mr LINCOLN has sOwn his Wild
| oats" What "oats,' the Times declines TO
inform us. 1t would have been in better taste
for the Times, after admitting that it has no
from coming The fai5ehood that Mr. LINCOLN
"has gone through q course of defyiug and
insulting England This ia q wanton and
malicious assertion, void Of the least particle
of truth. All the defiance and insults passed
between the two nations have come from the
other side of the water. We have borno them
patiently, but win remark, in the language
L
eve hope they will not be repeated" There
is a time when iorbearance ceases to be a
virtue, and that day may not be far distant
when England win realize it to It's fullest in
tent at the hands of an over-exaspcrated and
, powerful people.
Our consistent friend, the London Morning
Star, speaking Of our action at the polls,
says;-
oven for results so conspi-uNrslr g.cat as
| tlese the NOrhg'n trermou would NJ. have BE-. n
justified In drawing tue sword in aq az tres i've
war; but since tho South chose the weapon and
| tle cont, at and sought to trawple uu Ter foo
! alike the congtIu iona rights and to dc; roy the
most cherished privileges Of the people Of tho
| North, they would have been (a.s, 20 them
| selves and humanity had they not resolved
10 smitc slavery, that master spirit Cf civil dis
cord and social wrong, e. the earth, 50 that Tho
republic might re or moro be subject to It's mllig-
nant influence.
Mr.. lI>CoLN has undoubtedly deserved well OF
his country. Few mcu could have graJed the
helm with so firm asp during u civil conflict
80 appalling as that which now RACES"
While that organ Of toryism, the Morning
Herald, groans in spirit, utters forth It's moan
ings, and protests that
"Mr. LINCOLN did not owe his rcappoi itment
as tcpubliCan candidate to any belief in lis per
sOnel merit, but 10 accidental circumstances which
had made it evident thai any other candidate
would divide the party and insure the success Of
the Democrats Mr.. LINCOLN is q vulgar brutal
boor; wholly ignorant Of political science, of
military alta rs, OF every thing else which q states
man should know"
Such is the way in which an English Journal,
an exponent Of the sentiments ola nation who
excuse their intense boorshnes9 by evclaim-
ing, We are rough but honest" bows before
the popular viii of neighboring nation, and
calls its chief magistrate "a vulgar, brutal
boor." Truly the bitterness of spirit ovinced
by this supporter Of slavery and despousm is
sufficient to recompense the loyal North for
re-eecting the Nations President, for this
journal speaks the sentiments of the ruling
class of Britain.
