Every STATE Of Europe acknowledged the Re
public when it was governed by a constitution
permitting slavery as fully as the Southern
states permit it now. Why should its abandon

is withheld for many her reasons? That the
South would prefer, in case of the worst, to
submit to any Government except that Of the
North, we can well understand but u pro-
tectomre OF Engand, France, or Spain can
be only strong mode of expressing u hatred
for the Yankees.

accept such an improbable offer. Englan d
