Nemesis-the Downfall OF British
Aristooracy.

we copy the following IN regard
to our prospects for war with En-
gland, from that honest, Outspoken
journal, The New York Day Book of
Feh'y 18th.
Will there be war with England :?
This is the question asked by the
Herdldand similar patriotic journals
the "war for the Union,' without
believing in it Il moment. Well,
there will he war with England. The
American Democracy can never
| again rule this continent until the
British ariStncracy are overthrow !;
but it is utterly improbable now,
when the miserable tools of that
power rule the land The English
and American systems of govern
ment are in direct antaGOniSm, in
deed, it is that exact {" nIepreSSible
conflict that lGnatics and fools
prate SO much about. Briii>hism
rests on ''kings, lords and commons"
the mere human inventions of class
while the American is based on
the natural distinctions of race fash
iOned by the hand of the Eternal.
What is there or what can there be
in the tut ensemble of human inter
eSts in such - irrepreSSibIe conflict"

he Old World. and the di>tinc, ions
of God in the New? Of course there
are many things OF form and of de
tail that are alike, that We borrow
from England, our courts OF law
and others, but the political S. s.
TENS, the foundation elements, the
essential things that lie at the basis
of civilization, are not alone anita
gOni>tic. they are deadly, and Brit
aristOcrdcy, based OF class, must die.
that AMERICAN Democracy. based on
race, may lire. The public men of
England understand this trPmend
GUS truth. Their power spreads all
over the earth, and touches all, or
nearly all, the races of human kind,
and they know from actual exper-
fence just what to do to emasculate
and ruin American Democracy ard
thus to save British aristocracy. For
fifty years they therefore labOIed to
abolish White Supremacy every
where on this continent, and their
dupes and tools SO misled and de-
bauched the Northern mind, that
party pledged to carry out the Brit
ish policy finally got the govern
ment in its hands in 1860. But
scarcely had Lincoln been elected,
and before he took any active steps
to carry out the British Abolition,
policy, British agents were set to
work to dupe and mislead the men
of the South. They made them be-
iieve that g England must have cot
tOn," and therefore if they were to
secede and suit NJ Il Southern Con
ftdeIacy, the British government
would recognize their independence.
aud the South, without war or
trouble of any kind, would be re-
lieved forever from Northern far,aii-
cism. and become Il great and nigh
ty power. And alas! certain lead
ing men in the South were fatally
deluded by this British ADVICE, and
abandoning the Northern Democra-
cy-the only friends, as Mr.. Bucha.
nan told then, they had on the face
of the earth-they walked straight
into the trap laid for them by the
British aristOcracy. England de-
signed the abolition of negro {" SER
vice." not merely because it would
give her the monopoly Of tropicOl
production, and thus the commerce
of the world. but her statesman
knew that the barrier of race brok-
en- down, the great natural founda-
ton of American civilization knock
ed out, and the government, like
that of Mexico and South America,
mon greliZed, OF cOusse Democratic
institutions would become impracti-
cable, and monarchy might take a
new lease of life for IL thousand
years to come. Deluding the Con
federates, therefore, with hints of
final recognition, PalmerstOn, and
Russell soon made Seward and Lin
coin understand that the price of
their neutrality was the abolition of
negro service in the COufederares
States, and there can be no doubt
but that they would have recngniz-
ed the COntederates had Lincoln re-
fused to issue his atrociouS and IA
tai proclamation. Such are the t0cis
and inductive .Jdcts invo!ved--thr
British ar stOcracy are the real
though remote authors of all our
national troubles, and morally res
pOnsibie to offended heaven for all
the lite sacrificed and property vast |
de, while Lincoln and Grant, aud
Davis, and Lee, Were the mere blind
pawnS in this tremendous "irrepIeS |
sibIe confcf" OF the Civilizations of
the Old World and the New. Ii,
therefore, the American Democracy
were again installed in power. it
would be perfectly just and logical
to demand restitution, not for Ala
bama claims, but for every dollar
spent in this monstrOuS warfare OF
our own national life, and if refused,
to declare war, seize and sack Lon
don, or at all events, to smash up
the British system, and jiberate not
only Ireland, but the English work
ing classes, that, for centuries, have
beeu mere beasts of burthen to the
rule of that proud and imperious
ariStOcracy, that has so long .iOmin
ated Chr istendOm and crimsoned the
earth with it's crimes.
