VERACrTY OF THE LONDON PREss.-In the Lon

among many others, two statements which illus
trate the utter want of veracity of certain por-
tions of the British press. In leading article
is this assertion
Abraham Lincoln and Mr. Seward we're responsible
murdcrous recorded by history"
II Is really astonishing that such fAlsehoods
can be still put forth by persons claiming the
least prctensions TO truth No less than fifteen
distinct acts of overt war were committed
by The rebel government before tho North had
even stood upon its defence. Those have
been again and again published in chronology
ical order, and are matter of record aud his
tory.
Again, in the same paper wo find the follow
ing statement, made by It's New York corre-
spondent, with regard to what occurred in this
city on the receipt Of the news Of the Presi-
dents assassination -
An ndiscrcct word would cost man his liberty n

Our Ex-PREsIDENTs.--Ex-Pre Buchanan
has been publishing letter to prove that he
was not traitor If he were not a traitor he
was the next thing to it. He was q weak,
trimming politician, who abandoned bis coun-
try in his last message, and declared that II was
unconstitutional to save the Union. If be had
been q patriot with The least pluck he could
have avcned this war. But he was des ti.ute Of
both heart and brains, and so consented To dis.
union.
All of our ex-Prcsidents now living are half
and-balf sccessionis,s. Poor Pierce, Buchanan
and Fillmore are In pretty nearly the same boat.
Tyler, who died during the war, was rebel.
Compared with the fame of President Lincoln,
who was assassinated by the rebellion, the
memory of these ex-Presidents will be a blot
upon our history. The race of the old polti-
clans is run. Young America has saved tho
country and will govern it. As our stupid old
generals are eclipsed by Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, so our miserable old politicians are
eclipsod by Young America.

The New York herald., 1865-05-19

HNc Lille LAcnRYME.-No doubt one of the
causes Of the anxiety of the British aristocracy
for our destruction was to save themselves;
for, if democratic institutions were to be vim
dicated by our success, they feared their own
monarchical system might be endangered. And
they are destined TO witness some important
changes which will touch them to The quick.
The friends Of liberty are waking up in Eng
land, in France and on the Continent; and
bolder speeches have been made there since
our triumph has been manifest than has been
heard before in the last generation. Carlyle
no friend Of ours-is said to be the author of
this opinion "Let America succeed, and Eng
land goes to democracy by express train.
