The Bombardment Jl Valparaiso.
Thb news ol the destruction, by a Spanish
fleet, of the city of Valparaiso, together with
public and private property to the value, as
estimated, of twenty millions of dollars, Is
likely to produce a great deal of indignant
feeling in this country. In the first place,
Spain had no just caune of war with Chill.
Her quarrel was with Fcru, respecting the
Chlnrba Islands, which she designed to selzs
like a pirate, because they were likely to
prove profitable, and (Spain thouzht
she had the power to appropriate them
to bcr own use and benefit regardless of ail
questions of right. Tois attempted robbery
Peru nata.nl' y and very properly resisted,
and in the progress of the controversy that
arose out of the affair, Spain commenced hos
tilities against Peru. At thisbtigo ol the
d'fliculty, the Spanish men-of-war undertook
to got supplies of coal in the Chilian ports ;
but Chili, not wishing to bo nndo even an
Inviluntary accessory ol Spain In a war
against a sister republic in Jier immediate
Btighitorhood, and desirous. aBo. to maintain
her obligations of neutral ty, refused to the
Spaniards the privilege of obtaining coal lor
their war vessels in her harbors. This en
raged the Spanish Admiral, who laid the
whole coast of Chill under blockade. This
led the Chilians to adopt certain defensive
measures, which provoked further outrages
against their sovereignty, uutil at length an
order came from Madrid to the Spanish Ad
miral "to destroy, burn, and desolate, to the
utmost of his power, all the Chilian an-i
Peruvian towns and proper y on the coast."
The bombardment and destruction of Val
paraiso on the 31st ni March, alter four days'
notice lor the removal of the sick, etc., was
accomplished In pursuance ol the atoresaid
order, In entire disregard of the earnest re
monstrance of .he naval and diploma'Ic repre
sentatives of J-nghmrl, France, and tha
United States. It is not our purpose to dis
cuss just now the conduct of thoce represen
tees, in withdraw, ng from the harbor
of Valparaiso under the circumstances
of the case, and aband.ninr it to
tho mercy of the Spaniards. Prudence re
quires that before parsing judgment on mat
ters of so muh deli .acy and importance, the
press should be In possassion ol an ajtlientic
statement of all the essential tacts, and it is
drobable that Commodore Eodgers and
Gen KiLPATitiCK, wh represented this Gov.
ernment on the occasion, will be able to
explain satisfactorily the line of action
which they deemed it wise and right to
pursue in the emergency. Indeed, It
already appaars that at a meeting
of the Butish residents of Valparaiso
resolutions were adopted severely censuring
the vacillating coarse of the British Admiral
Dknman, while a committee was simulta
neously appointed to express to General
Kilpatbick and Commodore Uodgers their
high appreciation of their efforts proffered
to prevent, by co-ooeration with the British
force, the bombardment of the city.
It remains, however, to Inquire whether any
r ation shall be allowed to blockade the coast
and destroy the towns and cities of another,
apainst all the laws of civilized war, and
without any just cause of hostility, merely
tecause it may have power enough at the
particular time and place to perpetrate such
an outrage ? Chili, in refusing to allow the
Spanish navy to procure coal in her ports,
with a view to prosecute belligerent measures
against Peru, not only did what she was
bound to du as a neutral, but she acted for !
the moment, and in the specific Instance, in de
fense of the common law of nations, and
for their mutual interests, in so far
as they are involved in and protected by that
law. Moreover, the property of citizens of
the Pnited Mates, England, and France, to
say nothing of peril to their lives, was in
cluded in the destruction of tho Chilian city,
and it may become a qucsiion whether, in
the absence of any just cause of war on the
eidoof Spain against he little South Ameri
can republics, the destruction of the private
property of foreigners resident in Valparaiso
does not afford ground to their respective
Governments for protest against the act of
the Spanish Admiral, and for claims of in
demnification against tho Spanish Govern
ment. And this, too, notwithstanding the
four davs' notice given by the commander of
the Spanish squadron ol his intention to bom
bard (he place.
The whole afl'air, at all events, is well fitted
to excite the resentlul feelings of the people
of this country especially. When two leading
European powers attempt by combination to
overthrow republicanism in Mexico and
establish an empire in its stead, and another
European monarchy, ol comparatively Insig
nificant pretension or rank, undertakes to
destroy a republic in another part cf this
hemisphere, it is quite time that the United
States should interpose la such manner and
form as will suffice to put an end effectually
and ut once to all such foreign designs or con
spiracies to subvert her Institutions and plant
monarcbism In either division of the Ame
rican continent. For obvious rea
sons of temporary policy, we have
suffered the ''Monroe Doctrine" to assert
itself with the quiet menace of a gun pointing
its muzzle from the port-hole of a fortress.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAT 2, I860.
But events are taking place which may call
tor f omethlng more thas this, and our people
will, no doubt, rejoice greatly and unlrerjally
when their Government shall derlare to all
the w rid that It means to stand forth as the
active champion and defender of republican
ism on ibis aide of the plobe, against all
rxonarcbical cabals, and in despite of all con
sequences. The Cotton Question in England.
TnE cotton manufacturers of England have,
for several year, been trying to derive their
supply of the raw material from some quar
ter of the British possessions. Were they
contemplating merely a provision against a
def clent crop in this country, they would bo
acting with commendable providence. But
tbry have again and again avowed that their
chief purpose his been to emancipate them
selves from dependence on America for a ma
terial which enters so largely into tho com
mercial interests of the kingdom as to impair
seriously Its political freedom In relation to
this hemisphere. It is easy to understand
wby the British ministry and Parliament
should wish to break loose from any condi
tions inconven:ently restricting, their action in
matters ol international consequence ; but it
Is amazing that the Government has been
literally instigated by the spinners of Man
chester to measures intended to substitute the
cotton of India for that of this country. Do
they see tho formidable rivalry their policy
must raise up 'u opposition to British indus
try and coramerco, and the millions of j early
revenue it must withdraw from British pock
eta? Have they no more sense than to sup
pose they can h ive this matter all their own
way, forgetting that trade insists upon reci
procity as an essential condition, and that
when discontinued on one side, it compels a
counter suspension on tho other?
Suppose it be admitted that tho experiment
of growing cotton in India will yet be suc
cessful, and that tho British cotton factories
will cease altogether consuming tho Ameri
can product; what then? Why, two mo3t
important effects must C2rtainly follow, either
of which will prove disastrous to tho loo ns
of Manchester, while botii would bo more
than they could long stand up under. In
the first place, the closing up of the British
market lor our cotton would necessarily
develop a market for it at home. We should
be driven into ti e manufacture of cotton
until our consumption in that way of tho raw
material would equal tho domestic produc
tion. In that event, the nearness to our mills
of the Eource cf supply, and the superabun
dant quantity of the stap'e always obtainable,
would cheapen it greatly, so that the home
fabrics could ba sold, not only in the United
Hates, but in all foreign countries, at prices
fully as low, if not lower than those of Eng
land could be sold here or elsewhere. And
the friends of a protective tariffcould not desire
a more favorable expedient for the effectual
and permanent practical realization of their
long-cherished policy, than tho trausfer of the
consumption of American raw cotton from
the factories of Old England to those which
would be speedily mult plied on this side of
the ocean by the cessatior of the demand
for our chief Southern product in the manu
facturing district of Lancashire.
Hence, Yankee labor, skill, and capital
would be afforded a powerful Impulse In a
rew direction, and, as a final consequcnee, the
United States would be made a formidable
competitor of Great Britain in the fabrication
of cotton cloths and threads, and the like, not
only In this hemisphere, but also in the mar
kets of the Old World. The advantage of
cheaper labor on the side of the English
would be counterbalanced by the cheaper raw
cotton on our side, as the article can hardly
bo grown and transported from India to Man
chester as cheaply as it may bo raised and
delivered to our manufacturers from the plan
tations in the South; and with theso essential
conditions of competition in our favor, we feel
confident that the American manufacturers
would be able to meet those of England in
any market, and undersell them.
In the second place, Great Britain, in ceas
ing to take our cotton and forcing U9 to
manufacture it, would lose the chief market
! for her own tabric9. We would not want
I them when producing more than enough for
our own necessities, at lower prices than the
foreign article could be had tor. With this
market lor their muslins, thread, and like
commodities closed against them, where would
British manufacturers liud an equivalent one?
With no sufficient demand lor their (abrics
outside of the United Kingdom, what would
be the nature of the cotton supply from India
to the mill-owners and operatives of Man
chester? lor these reasons our English
cousins had better take care lest, in striving
to achieve Independence of this country in
respect of the cotton supply, they do not
make us, in turn, entirely independent ot
them. By the change they seek, they have
everything to lose, while the United States
has everything to gain.
Democratic; Locuc. Tlie New York
Daily Ncwa, in denying the right of the
Government to disfranchise the late Rebels
proposes this " illemma:"
"II these men aie not citizens, when did
thev cease to be so f It thev reascd to be so
when thev first seceded, thou they ooud not be
rtl nis ana traitors i u lucv are not rebels ana
traitors they are Dot cniiiinals sluce rebell'on
and treason are tho oulv crimes chanced azainst
them and there is neither reason uor Justice
in treatin&r mem us hucd."
This is certainly profound. Rebellion and
treason can only bo committed by citizens I
This is neither the doctrine of tho Constitu
tion nor of common sense. There are thou
sands of persons living in this country who
are not citizens, and yet who can commit
treason and rebellion as easily as they can
commit burglary or murder. The "dilemma"
of the News exists only in the brain oi its
editor.
