OUR BILL AGAINST ENGLAND

OUR BILL AGAINST ENGLAND.
Decidedly the most offensive comment
made by either party, since the new discus
sion of the Alabama question, is that of the
London Times, which urges the Americans
not to forget that during our ''civil war the
state of the Union depended upon the voice
''of England, and that, had she yielded TO
'the wish Of Napoleon, there would have
sheen an end to the United States. This
is question, upon both sides of which con-
siderable could be said. Certainly, the Ma
tion had enough upon its hands, to suppress
the Rebellion, without, at the same time II
war with England and France. But England
thought the Union was going to pieces, at
any rate; that her recognition of Southern
belligerency, and equipping the rebel pirate
ships; with Louis Napoleon's encroachments
upon us from Mexico; would surely aid the
South, as much as was necessary. 1t die
not prove So and the expectation that We
should be thankful to England because sht
did no more to divide our country, seem!
rather cool than reasonable.
