BRITISH COHFEDERATB BOND
HOLDER0,

It isn't in the heart of our people to sympa-
thire very profoundly with the English Con-
fedente bondholders. There was smother
meeting of these unfortunases 1t London on
the 18th ult According to . statement of
one Of them, Messrs. ERLAycER, the Paris
bankers who engineered the loan have netted
the neat sum of two and Q half millions of
dollars ont of the affair, the contemplation of
which doesn't increase the equanimity or
good temper of those British RICHARD SwIv-
ELLERs, whose gains in the premises are oil
minus Messrs. ERIAsGER and SCHROEDER l.
Co. had been written to as engineers of the
loan. IT was said, and these willy 6nanciers,
buttoning into their pockets the suhstantial
proceeds, had refused TO give, through any
direct source, any information concerning the
terms of their contract with the rebels
Rogues had been outwitted by rogues. The
meeting, which was phase of OH How
RI Dolefuh appointed a committee-instructed
first, to obtain all possible information about
the management of the loan; and second to
urge upon the United States, and particularly
the Southern States, the justice and even ne
cesslty of recognizing their State obligations
1t would have but little force with the Federal
Government, but what exquisite vengeance
it would be should those Britishers refuse to
the South free trade in the event of non per
formance of obligations and the non payment
of the rebel debit Wonder if the sapent
Bulls will not add this to the policy that led
them to become Confederate bondhol6ers, in
order to establish their financial sagacity?
One of the Oh, How Doleful's stated to the
meeting that he had reason to know that the
Southerners had the best disposition towards
the bondholders. His belief was that the
loan had been put in the English market not
so much because the money was required for
the purposes of the war as to test English
feeling toward the South. Under these cir
cumstances it was possible that the money
had been used in manner, which. under
other circumstances, might not have been
deemed legitimate. A further grievance TO
the afflicted bondholders, was developed in
intimations that AAsoS Co., the Confeder.
ate agents, had grown fat upon fair promises
and British gold, had in fact swindled their
trans Atlantic friends, and been personally
largely gamers by British eagerness to seal
the division of the United States Well. It's
a squabble of sharks and sharpers, with which
we have little concern.

Representation WITHOUT suffrage adds thus
much to political power, hostile to the unity
of the country-hostile to the loNl party that
maintained the government, and hostile TO
the unenfranchised race whence this ire cas-
ed strength is derived. The agoues of
patriotic people in revolution-the bloody
purifcation--the perilous and strife-weary
way through which the nation went to eman
cipation-the burden of care that harassed
the mind and wrinkled the brow, before the
consummation Of the act of the ruler whom
the slave spirit and treason slew, the suffer
ings and patriotism of the freedmen, and
their very liberty itself, is to be swallowed up
in. and made subsidiary to. the triumph Of
those who sought to disrupt the Union, in
order to tighten the msnacles Of human bond
age. This is representation without suffrage.
