VOLUME XIV.
FOBKIGK ISTEBFEBEHCE,
■lha sensation item sent to the New
York Herald from "Washington, and thence,
hy the Associated Press, all over the coun
try, is eminently characteristic of that
journal and its policy in the present re
bellion. It is artful, and unquestionably
false; but if it serve to sow seeds of dis
trust as to the result of the righteous
efforts the Government is making to pre
serve the territorial integrity of the Re
public, the purpose of the Herald will be
served. A special dispatch to the New
York Timer, also from "Washington, puts
the question of foreign interference in its
true light, thus:
There la no reason for any belief that the
European powers will in any way give aid or
comfort to tlie rebels, the tone of the En
glish press to the contrary notwithstanding.
The European Ministers are acting now npon
the results of Mr. Buchanan’s imbecility, and
have a conviction that the Government Is real
ly es weak as Hamilton alleged it to be. It is
well known that the Ministers resident here,
are utterly astounded at the vigor
exhibited by the Administration, and the
overwhelming response of the people to tho
demand of the central power. They do not
hesitate to say that no despot in Europe could
have summoned to the held snch a force as
Hr. Lincoln has congregated in less than thirty
days. In their last mspatehes they have rather
magnified than diminished the uprising of the
people of the Northern States, and the future
action of their Government will be based upon
this last phase of popular sovereignty.
It is well understood by the Administration
that the policy of France will be the-same os
that pursued by England—France waiting for
the action of Great Britain, The Administra
tion have no doubt that the Government of
England will heed the popular will of tho
British people, and adopt a policy in harmony
with tho past history of the nation.
TBE BLOCKADE.
Privateers to bo Treated as Pirates.
The news of the Europe, which left England
on the sth and readied New York on Friday
last, is important in relation to the policy of
toe English Government with regard to too
rebels. The apparent ambiguity of Lord John
Bussell’s language as to toe blockade and too
belligerent condition of toe Southern States,
is cleared up by the declaration of toe leading
London papers. The most important among
them is one from toe London Ibst, the organ
of Lord Palmerston, in which toe British Pre
mier makes distinct avowal of toe
neutrality of that country. The
2btf says that to preserve that
which Lord John Bussell 4< so forcibly express
ed,” Is clearly the duty of the country. It says
that the war now existingin this country must
be left to work itself out, however disastrous
toe result may be to foreign trade or toe man
ufacturing industry of England. The position
in which toe rebel States are regarded is
clearly defined by toe Premier’s organ, when
it says that too national government is at war
with insurgents whose independent existence,
either dcjvrc or de facto, has never been recog
nized by any Power In the world; that in too
contemplation of public law they are simply
rebels, and that Mr, Lincoln has undoubtedly
toe right to declare a blockade of toe South
ern ports, and to treat and punish all South
ern privateers aspirates. There is no mistak
ing the meaning of this language, and coming
from an organ of the government, it may be
taken as decisive in favor cf absolute neutral
ity on the part of England, and toe non-recog
nition of the Southern confederacy. The tone
of the English press generally accords with
tocfO views, toe privateering system of Mr.
Davis being denounced by the London Ship
ping Cfatctie and other influential journals es
piracy.
Letter from Camp Blssell.
Heap-Quarters 12m Regiment 111. Vol,, )
Casetvillz, May 14,1881. j
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Here wo are, eight milea from the
late scene of blood, without any of tne
honor attached to that maneuver. The boys
would gladly have gone to participate in the
fight. They seem to desire- a brush with the
traitors, but whether aiclr wishes will he grat
ified, remains to he seen. Previous to our
coming here, there were many secessionists
about this vicinity, hut the Union men who
visit our camp report them to have experienc
ed a sudden change of sentiment, or at least
to give others to think so. The people here
are very kind and hospitable to both officers
and soldiers, famishing the best the town af
fords, and many are tin tiring in their atten
tions.
The camp has oS3Jm.cn, including the at
taches. Most of the tents have come and the
men to-day are busy pitching them. One
hundred ore now standing-and most of the
companies have moved into their camp quar
ters. A good and convenient building has
been obtained for a hospital, and the surgeon
and his assistant are making every effort to
put it In perfect working order at the earliest
moment. Ten patients are now in it, hut noue
. very sick.
: Yesterday the first burial took place/ on the
; top of a hlghbluffi The deceased was a pri
vate in ’Capt. Hugunin’s company, by tbe
mme of Durkee Cole, from tbe southern part
ot Wisconsin. He died of inflammation or the
bowels.
Several stragglers have been arrested daring
the past few nights, but none were long de
tained.
Capt. McDonald, of St Louis, was last night
brought here as a prisoner of war, and
although under strict watch, may be consid
ered the guest of the officers. Ho claims him
self to be a United States soldier, and having
onoe taken an oath to serve tbe Government,
calls it an outrage to be required to take a
second oath not to fight against it The great
est annoyance to him, seems to arise from
the fact that a matrimonial engagement is to
be delayed from force of circumstances.
One of tbe men was accidentally stabbed In
the neck by a bayonet the day after our arri
val. Although a deep wound, he Is now free
from all danger and will soon be on duty.

Prospects of the Secession Loan nr
England.—The London Daily Ncas says
u lt is reported in pood quarters that one of
tbe objects for which the Commissioners of
the Southern Confederated States are visiting
this country is to endeavor to raise a loan.—
An application of this kind would assuredly
meet with no response; for, apart from the
uncertainty which prevails os to the probable
duration of the threatened war, and the ex
tent and price of future issues of stock, sev
eral of the moßt prominent members of the
Confederation carry the brand of repudiation.
gSTTrom Louslana, we learn that that State
is very slew in furnishing her quota of troops,
colled for by Jeff Davis. The explanation of
this is that the Louisiana planters and tinners
fear a “ rising ”of the slaves. Almost every
plantation is doubly guarded; everywhere
the slaves arc guarded with the utmost vigi
lance. Planters refuse to let any of their em
ployees enlist, hut arm them, and keep them
as a private guard. —Baltimore ItUrioU

-The following comes to us from s highly re
spectable sxtd trustworthy source: ""
Decatur, May 16,1861,
Editors Chicago Tribune:
At Effingham, I heard an extraot read from
a letter from Mr, Yancey to a citizen of that
county, in which this arch traitor was rejoic
ing in the belief that the North is full of men
like hlmße.lf. He said that the South had for
some nine past been organizing, in our promi
nent Northern cities, “ GoldenCirdea that
pee© Circles, to a man, were sworn to the in
terests and designs of the Southern Confede
racy—that in New York City there were
twelve thousand enrolled, and a like propor
tion in Philadelphia, Boston, Albany, Buffalo.
Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, el at. He also
encouraged his old friends in this State to be
lieve that these associations wonldrally to the
support of the Confederate army on rani—fhaf
they were frilly eqniped and posted in all that
was doing and wanted.
This to me looks much like a game of
brag, and I could not even believe that the let
ter was genuine; but whether itls or not, it
is in full accord with the design of these
traitors and their efforts, and it would not be
amiss to keep an eye upon all such who have
hitherto been known to have been connected
with this secret treasonable compact; for its
existence at onetime is past dispute, and now
it only recoils and 1s hid in its den of infamy,
watching an opportunity to launch forth to
execute, in the most effectual moment, a pur
pose full of the bitterest hate to the principles
of our Government Too great vigilance can
not be induced. Citizens, as well as soldiers,
as well as the Government, should be on the
alert and while no unnecessary alarm should
be given, yet we had far better err in this than
indulge in too great indolence by reason of
our strength and fancied security. M. H.

The Massachusetts Fifth are actively prapar
ing food for a march. It is understood lo night
by toe officers that they go to toe Belay House
and Join the Eighth and Sixth Massachusetts
Regiments. They are ordered to cook three
days’ provisions. If Gen. Butler’s plan is car
ried cut, they will go thence via Annapolis to
Fort Monroe.
Five hundred excellent beef cattle arrived
this morning from toe West. This nearly
completes that portion of the old contract for
ten toousandbetf, which was adhered to. The
Government has now about three thousand
head—sufficient for all present necessities.
The remaining seven thousand will be given
out with more care, and at less exorbitant
prices.
A MOVEMENT OP IMPORTANCE.
Gen. Butler has been ordered to the com
mand of Fort Monroe, and of the volunteers
in that vicinity. The entire Massachusetts
contingent is to be ordered to that point.
Nine of toe fourteen regiments ordered from
New York will be sent to Fort Monroe, as
will some of toe Pennsylvania and Connecti
cut troops.
In lees than ten days, Gen. Butler will have
more than fifteen thousand men under bis
command at toe fort, and a squadron adequate
to toe support cf the land lorces. Yon will
see that this demonstration looks to toe “pos
session” of the public property at Gosport, and
j on may depend that it Will be accomplished;
lor before toe superior number and deter
mined valor of tho Massachusetts, Vermont,
and Connecticut troops, the chivalry of Vir
ginia must fall back. The first retrogide
movement breaks the back of secession, and
before notional bayonets, in toe hands ol Now
England men,rebellion must give way.
There Is no truth in toe statement that Pres
ident Lincoln has given assurances to North
ern Governors as to the policy to be pursued.
He has told too people that he would enforce
the laws and possess the public property.—
When he has fulfilled this pledge toe war will
terminate, and not before. Bat toe President
has not deemed it necessary to give such as
surances to any Governors, or other State au
thorities; nor have any such assurances been
asked of him. The President and his Cabinet
will not ba behind too people, and Gen. Soott
is quite determined to have a final decision of
the question involved as toe most radical Re
publican of toe North. He never will consent
to sheath toe sword until tho sword has fulfill
ed its mission.

There continues to be a great diversity of
opinion concerning affairs at Mount Vernon,
many believing that the tomb has been dese
crated, and others denying the whole state*
znent At all events, the Government has
heard nothing of it, and officials therewith
connected give it no credence. A gentleman
prominently identified with the Mount Ver
non purchase, and who is in semi-weekly com
munication with the superintendent of the
property, has received no intimation of any
such thing, and disbelieves It I find on ex
amination of tbe agreement of sale, or bond
of conveyance of the Mont Vernon property,
In possession of the. Treasurer of the Mount
Vcmon Association, that this instrument con
tains a danse specifying that the vault, the re
mains, and the incloaure, shall never be re
moved or disturbed. This settles the point as
to the pretended right of CoL Washington to
remove the remains, notwithstanding that in
the bill of sale be reserves to himself the tomb
end an acre of ground around it.
Speech by Gen. B. F. B a tier, ofSlu<
sacliosetts.
Washington, May 10,1861.
Major General Butler, who is stopping at
the National Hotel, received a complimentary
serenade, to-night, from his Massachusetts
friends now in Washington. Some two thou
sand people collected m and about tbe hotel.
In response to the serenade and the cheers
of the crowd, Gen. Butler spoke os follows:
Fellow Citizens : Your cheers for the old
Commonwealth of Massachusetts are rightly
bestowed. Foremost in the rank of those
who fought for the liberty of the country in
the Revolution, were the men of Massachu
setts. It is an historical fret to which I tiko
pride in now referring, that in the Revolution
Massachusetts sent more men south of Mason
and Dixon's Lino to fight for the cause of the
country, than all the Southern Colonies put
together; *nd in this second war, if war must
come, to proclaim the Declaration of Inde
pendence anew, and as a necessary conse
quence, establish the Union and the Constitu
tion, Massachusetts will give, if necessary, ev
ery man in her borders—aye, and woman!
[Cheers.] I trust I maybe excusedfor speak
ing thus of Massachusetts; but I am confident
there ere many within the sound of my voice
whose hearts heat with proud msmories of
the old Commonwealth. There is this differ
ence, I will say, between our Southern broth
ers and ourselves, that while wo love our
State with the true love of a son, ws love tbe
Union and the country with an equal devo
tion. [Loud and prolonged appluuse.] We
place no “State's rights” before, above orbs
yondthoUnion. [Cheers.] To ns our country is
first, because It Is our country, [three cheers,]
and our State is next and second, because she
is a part of our country and our State. [Re
newed applause.] Our oath of allegiance to
our country, and onr oath of allegiance to our
State, aro interwreathed harmoniously, and
never come in conflict nor clash. He who
does his duty to the Union does his duty to
the State; and he who does his whole duty
to the State, docs his duty to the Union—
“ one and inseparable, now and forever.”
[Renewed applause.] As I look upon this
demonstration of yours, I believe it to bo
prompted by a love of the common cause,
and our common country—a country so great
and good; a Government so kind, so benefi
cent that the hand from which-we have only
felt kindness is now for the first time raised in
chastisement. [Applause.] Many things in a
man's life may be worse than death. So, to a
Government there may be many things, such
as dishonor and dlsintegration.worae than the
shedding of blood. [Cheers.] Our fathers
purchased our liberty and country for ns at an
Immense cost of treasure and blood, and by
the bright heavens above us, we wRI not part
with them without first paying the original
debt and the interest to this date! [Load
cheers] Wehavo in ourvelns the same blood as
they shed: we have the somepower of enduranc
the same love of liberty and law. We will hold
ns a brother him who stands by the Union;
we will hold as an enemy him who would
•trike from.its constellation a single star.
[Applause.] ' But I hear some one say,
“Shall we carry on this fratricidal war?
gb?p wc shed our brother's blood, and meet
in arms our brothers of the South?” I would
say, as our fathers did not hesitate to strike
the mother country in defence of their rights,
so we should not hesitate to meet the brother
as they did the mother. [Sensation.] If
this unholy, this fratricidal war is forcednpon
us, I say, floe, Woe to them tcAo have made the
necessity. Onr hands are clean, our hearts are
pure; but the Union must be preserved!”
■ Gen. Butler was interrupted hero by an In
tense cheering. When silence was restored,
he continued:
“At all hazard of money, and, if need bo, of
every life this aide the Arctic Regions.
[Cheers,] If the 25,000 Northern soldiers who
are hero are cut
take their place; aadifthey die by fever, pes
tilence or the Bword,‘a quarter of a mil
lion will take their place, tin our army of the
reserve will be women with their > broom

S Cheers and laughter.] I have neither fear or
louht of the issue. I feel only horror and
dlimoy for-those .who have made the war.
God help themrwe are here.to-Oiirrights,
for our. country, for onr flag. ‘Oor feces are
set South and there shall be no footsteps
backwards. ' [lmmense applause.] He Is ma- ;
taken who supposes we can be intimidated by
threats,or.cajoled by compromise.. The day
of compromises is past • “ - •
The / Government must be-'■sustained,
[cheers,] and when it is sustained, we shall
give everybody.in tbe Union- their- rights,

and “everybody, outside of- the

[From tho Missouri Democrat, 18th.]
The Union men of WftahtnertnTi nnmify Tiay
ing been threatened with extermination, and
some of them having been driven prom Poto
ft the county-seat," complaint was made to
Gen. Lyon, of the St Louis Arsenal, and that
prove andgollant officer determined to give
give the union men in that section of the
country protection. Accordingly an expedi
tion was planned and put under command of
Capt Cole, of Company A. Fifth Regiment of
y. S. volunteers. At 10 o’clock, p.il, Tues
day, May 14th, Capt Cole’s command, consist
ing of some 150 men. left the Arsenal on a
special train for their destination. They arrived
at Potosi at 8 o’clock, a. m., on Wednesday,
and immediately threw a chain of sentinels
around the entire town. Guards were then
stationed around the dwellings of the most
prominent secessionists, and shortly after day
light, some 150 men found themselves prison
ers, and marched off to the Court House.—
Here the prisoners were formed in line, and
by the assistance of a gentleman who had
been driven out cf Potosi, who knew oil of the
nhabitants of the place, the Union men wore
recognized and released, amounting to over
half of those taken prisoners. Some fifty of
the secessionists were also released, on parole
of honor, after subscribing to the usual oath,
not to take vp arms against the United States, and
nine of the leaders were marched off to the
cars. The guard that made a descent on a se
cession lead manufactory, and captured some
near four hundred pigs of that very useful ar
ticle In time oi war, which belonged to a man
who had been furnishing lead to flic Southern
rebels. The man’s name is John Dean, and is
new a prisoner at the Arsenal. It appears he
was not satisfied to simply sell the lead to tho
enemy, in defiance of toe authority of
toe Government, but was engaged with his
own team in hauling it to near the Ar
kansas line, where toe traitors could
get possession of it without danger. The
guard captured several pistols, rifles, shot gnus
and a quantity of secession uniforms, most of
them nuflnished; and some uniform cloth
After being furnished with breakfast and din
ner, and very handsomely treated by toe Union
men of Potosi, and invited to stay a month in
that place, at their expense, toe command
started for home. On their way back, toe
train made ahalt at DeSoto, in Jefferson Co.,
where there was to be a grand secession “love
feast” and flag raising. Hero they found a
company of secession cavalry drilling for the
occasion, which took to their heels as soon as
they get a sight of toe U. 8. troops. In their
flight, the cavalry left some 30 or their horses,
which were captured by toe troops and placed
under guard. The pole, one hundred feet
high, on which the rebels were going to fly
the secession flag, was soon graced with the
stars and stripes, amid toe wildest enthusiasm
of the Union men and government troops.
The next move was to capture toe rebel frag,
which was known to be in town, and lor this
agreeable duty Captain Cole detailed a guard
of six men, under command of Sergeant
Walker, accompanied by Dr. Franklin, Surgeon
of tho Fifth Regiment. The guard surround
ed toe house supposed to contain the flag, and
.Dr. Franklin and Sergeant Walker entered.—
After searching in vain for some time, the
Doctor thought he observed the lady of the
house sitting in rather an uneasy position,
and he very politely asked her t5 rise. At
first the lady hesitated, but finding too Doc
tor’s persuasive suavity irresistible, she rose
slowly* and 10l the blood red stripe of the
rebel ensign appeared below the lady’s hoops.
The Doctor, bowing a graceful •» beg pardon,
madam,” stooped, and quietly catching hold
of to© gaudy color, carefully delivered the
lady of a secession flag, 80 feet long and 0 feet
wide. The Doctor bore off his prize in tri
umph to toe camp, where the troops greeted
him with wild shouts, and characterized his
feat as the crowning glory of the occasion.
Hero the troops captured another rebel leader,
and after placing thirty men under Lieuten
ant Murphy; to guard tho Union flag, and toe
thirty hoists, Capt. Cole’s cammand started
on their way. At Victoria, too train stopped
a moment, when another secessionist came up
hurrahing for Jeff Davis, and quick as thought
too ardent rebel was snrroundol by a half-dozen
bayonets, and marched into toe cars a pri
soner of war, and the train moved on. They
arrived at the Arsenal about o’clock p. m.,
where a crowd of soldiers and visitors awaited
them. The spoils were unloaded, and too
prisoners marched to safe and comfortable
quarters. General Lyon reeelved them in toe
spirit of a true soldier, and .the troops gave
three cheers for Gen. Lyon, th?e£ for colonel
-Blair, ana tnrctfxbr the Stars and Stripes,and
then caught toe secession flag and tore it into
shreds in a twinkling. The names of toe pris

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Washington, May 16.
REPUDIATION AND THEFT AT THE SOUTH.
The President has been importuned by men
prominent in public life, and who hold high
official station, to confiscate Southern proper
ty located in the North. They desire him to
interfere in the.transfer of real estate, and base
thair propcßltlonupon the ground that South
ern men decline to pay debts due North,- and
do not hesitate to seize property wherever
they can find it. To one of these delegations—
and there have been several—Mr. Lincoln
calmly listened, and then said,“ No, gentle
men, never.” “But they do it,” replied the
spokesman. “They,” n joined the President,
‘‘can afford to do a wrong—l cannot.” And
so that question Is settled.
ZTEDALS roil THE VOLUNTEERS.
It has been suggested to Mr. Lincoln that
he recommend to Congress to order medals
struck for all who have volunteered for the
war, and that those receiving sold medal be
enrolled as “The Legion of the Union.** The
President and Mr. Seward attended the dress
parade of the Seventh Regiment, and review
ed the troops.
Tho Pope’s Protest Against tbe As
sumption of tbo Title of King of
Italy by Victor Emanuel.
The following is the text of the protest
which the Pope lately caused to be addressed
to all tbo representatives of foreign powers at
his court, against tbe title of “ King of Italy,”
assumed by Victor Emanuel:
“Rons, April 15.
“ A Catholic King, forgetful of every religi
ous principle, in contempt of all right, tramp
ling under foot all law, after having by degrees
despoiled the august chief of the Catholic
Church of the largest and most flourishing
part of his lawful possessions, now takes the
title of King cf Italy. By tins he wishes to
put the seal on tho sacrilegious usurpation
which he has already accomplished, and which
his government has manifested tho intention
of completing, at the expense of the patrimony
of the Holy Bee.
“Although the Holy Father had solemnly
protested against each fresh enterprise by
which his sovereignty was attacked, he is not
the lees obligedto make a fresh protest against
the act by which a title is assumed, the object
of which is to legitimatize the iniquity of so
many anterior ones.
“ It would be superfluous to mention here
the sanctity of tho possessions of the patri
mony of the Church and the right of the Sov
ereign Pontiff over that patrimony—a right
incontestibly recognized at all times and by
all governments; and whence it follows that
the Holy Father can never admit tho titio of
King of Italy, which the King of Sardinia ar
rogates to himself, since that title is opposed
both to justice and to the sacred property of
the Church. Not only can he not recognize
it, hut, still more, he protests, in the most ab
solute and formal manner, against snob an
usurpation. _ .
“The undersigned Cardinal Secretary of
State begs your Excellency to make known to
your government t.bia act made in the name
of his Holiness, feeling assured that it will
admit the absolute propriety of It, and that by
joining in such a determination, it will* con
tribute by its influence to bring about an end
to that abnormal state of things which has for
so long a time desolated the unfortune Italian
Peninsula.
“ It is with these feelings, &e.,
u CARDINAL ANTONELLI,”
Something to be Inquired into. —We find
the following paragraph in a letter to the
Vicksburg Vihzcru, dated Pensacola, April 30:
"Lieut Wadtvxnih, V. S, A, before beingsshott t
confessed that the object of the sail boat which
landed every day under the flag of truce, was
not for the purpose of getting the letters for
Fort Pickens, hut on the contrary, they car
ried hade with them the letters written home
for the hCfisifsippi and Alabama volunteers.—-
A nice trick, wasn’t it? It will account for
the good folks at home receiving no letters
from the cadets.”
This is the first intimation that has reached
us that Lieut. Wadsworth, or any other U. 8.
officer, had been shot by the Southern rebels.

Sensible View of Aznezleu XflMrs,

The outbreak of civil war“!n Series haa
been the signal and pretext for ed outcry In
this country against popular inatitrtlonfl. We
are bidden to Took across the Atkntlc, at the
geatest repnblitrihe^orid*CTcrtew‘ l oroken
pieces by treason, and in the ponies of a
bloodv. conflict, and we arc asked whether an
hereditary monarch and an hereditxry aristoc
racy would not have averted this gsat calami
ty? The eyes of tories platen wth "delight
as they point to the r of the United'
States as an agreement against mediling with
the franchise, and timid politicians are content
to pause, in order to seenow matten will end.
The Jubilation of political reactionists Is sur
prising. In the midst of-those-marvelous
• events which have taken place in Europe, and'
especially in Italy, during the: Lut two years,
and which have Incontestably proved the self
control of which the multitude is capable,
the dissensions in the United States are wel
comed almost as an interposition of Provi
dence. Hitherto they have had -to Invent the
facts non which Popes and Emperors rested
the superiority of their merit over republics
pd constitutional governments. Now there
is some faint hope that the admitted condition
of America may furnish an argument in their
favor. If, indeed, history had supplied an ex
ample of any government which was secure
from the possibility of treason, there might
be some trnth in the charges made against the
Government of the United States. Such a.
claim has never been set up or even suggest
ed. No Government, indeed, the world has
ever seen, haa had to deal with elements so
discordant aa those of America, has shown so
much wisdom and forbearance in dealing
-with the difficulties to which those elements
have naturally given rise, or has raamged to
ward off that catastrophe which to most men
has long seemed inevitable. When the East
India Company was abolished, its advocates
justly claimed for it the merit of having go
verned with success a vast territoiy teeming
with men for more than a century; nor wal
the occurrence of a gigantic mutiny allowed
to obliterate all remembrance of the past.
Letonlythe same justice bedoneto American
institutions. It is impossible to deny that for
nearly a century the Government of the Uni
ted States, complicated as it undoubtedly, is
has maintained its authority over a heterogene
ous population recruited from every corner of
the earth, without impairing local jelf govern
ment, or curbing that spirit of’expanaion.
which has peopled the continent from the
shores of the Atlantic to the slopes of the
Rocky Mountains. Up to the time when Mr.
Lincoln was elected President, it would have
been the merest parados to assert that popu
lar institutions had foiled. Nor is the obser
vation less absurd now that the civil war bos
broken out. To hear people talk, It would
seem as if such a crisis had never occurred
under any other form of Government. Have
Kings, or Popes, or Emperors never lest any
portion of their dominions ? Did not Eng
land lose these very States? D'd ndt Spam
lope Mexico? Did not Austria lose Italy and
Hungary ? And has not France experienced
the like disasters? At what period of the
wcila’s history have such disasters been deem
ed conclusive evidence against the form of
that Government which sustained thsm ? No
doubt the conduct which President Lincoln
and his Cabinet adopt will furnish cogent
proof of the wisdom and energy which can be
obtained in the American Republic. It is a
favorite maxim with some, that the present
I olltical system of America excludes the best
men from the highest offices; and the opinion
is not unsupported by plausible reasons. The
present crisis will test this theory. Few will
dhput e that a more difficult task never was
imposed upon any ruler than that which is
now Imposed upon Abraham LincoJn.To many,
p‘ rhaps to most, it seems impossible. In this
respect it forms a strange contrast to' the task
which was imposed on the Ministers of
George IIL at Inc end of the last century, or,
the other day, upon the Government of
Austria or Naples. It is universally admitted
that if these monarehs Ijad conducted them
selves with ordinaiy common aenao and
justice, they might, instead of losing provin
ces, have long ruled over a contented people.
There is not a man of reflection, scarcely
a foreign Minister, who was not ready to
proffer advice to the benighted sovereign,
which, if it had been followed, would have res
cued him from his difficulties. Tet there is
not a statesman in Europe who docs not con
gratulate himself that he is spared the respon
sibility of occupying the White House at
Washington at the present time. But whilst
every man of the least political experience
forbears to offer advice to the American Gov
ernment, it is remarkable thatsinco the acces
sion of Mr. Lincoln to office,no plan haa been
mooted, no act has been done by the Govern
ment of the U. S. which has not been dicta
ted by moderation and political wisdom. Dif
ficult as the situation has
now become"much more complicated. If tne"
Cabinet at Washington succeeded in restoring
harmony to the country, or in terminating the
contest with satisfaction to the people, they
will not only cover themselves with glory, but
will exalt popular institutions.
