A False Road 10 Recognition.

We publish significant article from
the London Index, the Confederate organ
10 London, which pretty effcctually dispo.
ses of the assertions made in some quar-
tiers, that if the South were to abolish SO.
called slavery, she would be recognized
by the powers Of Europe The hder
warns them against aBy such idea, and
closes with an admonatory paragraph
which We little expected to see lin that
Journal. Addressing the southern people,
it says 7.ela''aso a''a a3idsevo' 1851
ave trust also that no exisency will
cause them to forget that the welfare and
training Of the negro, race is a sacred
trust peculiarly con6ded to the South /;
that to surrender that trust in the hour
Of peril is to prove herself unworthy of
it,, .t... ....-........ .a.q'
These words are worthy Of profound
consideration, and yet they fail to convey
to the mind the full importance Of the
mission Of the South. She is the depos.
ltory of the principles of American civil
ization and Republican principles The
North, under the lead of o wild and un.
reasoning delusion, has proved faithless
to them, and now if the South should al
SO desert them, they would have no rep
resentative on the American continent.
These principles rest upon the substratum
Of the natural relation Of the races. Per-
vert that and the whole edi6ce necessarily
tumblos down. The strength of the South
will consist in adhering firmly to correct
principles, no matter what may appear to
be the exigency Of the times. The mo-
ment she breaks over that rule and be.
gins to consult a supposed erpedisncy, she
will SOW the seed of weakness and 'disas-
ter. "Three millions of men armed in
the holy cause Of liberty are invinsible
by any power their enemies can send
against them," bat it must be the liberty
Of the white race, not tho SO called free.
