RECOGNITION WITH A CoNTINGENcY.-The
London Times of July l6.h accounts for the
withdrawal of Mr.. LindsaY's motion in Par
Lament for the recognition Of the Confede-
rate States by the statement that it was
agreed On in an interview with the Premier,
held by Messrs. Lindsay and our late Com
missioner Mr. Mason in which Lord Palmer
ston gave a sort of implied promise to sup
port it at more opportune moment-that is
to say, when Grant aud Sherman have been
defeated, and the Confederacy stands in no
need of recognition" 1t is quitea mistake
to suppose that the Confederate States have
ever stood in need Of recognition, and none
the less mistake from tic fact that most Of
our own people at one tmeSharcd IN 1t. In
deed, these States We're recognized as free
and independent Governments eighty years
ago by the very Government ever which Lord
Palmerston now presides, and have been ever
since as much independent and sovereign
powers as that Government. They are not
lighting now to achieve independence, but to
maintain it, and in that behalf they have
given proofo power superior to any ever
furnished by that naughty realm. When, in
the history Of that renowned kingdom, has 1t
ever happened that within the term of three
years and three months three millions o! men
Tor that is the number 10 which Lncoln's
last cali swels his lcvies) have been sum
moncd to the fell, for ruthless war upon her
three millions ofmen on land, and 2 navy
numbering now, as is claimed nearly six
hundred vessels of war, and many of these
protected by an sinvu1nerables armor. and
provided with guns doubly as formidable as
anv ever heretofore used in war! When,
we repeat, has Great Britain ever given such
proof of her right to be considered one of the
Powers of the earth as the Confederate States
have afforded by resisting This avalanche of
aggression and assault Lord Palmcrston is
behind the times, aud SO, We fear, are Messrs.
Lindsay, Mason and other we'll meaning per-
sons. We have lorg since passed out of the
stage when we looked across the sseters with
anxiety for this measure Of simple Justice,
and we may well afford to smile at the i'm
portanoe which these old fogies seem to at
tach to the doing of an act which we hold
to be one OF very trivial importauce.-Rich-
mond Wing.
