England and the Southern Confederacy.
If it be true, as the last foreign news would
lead us to anticipate, that tho British Gl:merri
ment intends to pursue an equivocal or hostile
policy in regard to the Southern Confederacy,
we trust and believe that Mr. Lutoone's Ad
ministration will do the sensible and the brave
thing at once. Indeed, we know that some
weeks since all the civilized Powers were ap
prised that any recognition of- the rebellion
optimum authinity on theenzenrlean
meat would be instantly resented by the x
octanes. With this notice in their possession,
the encouragement extended by LortllollN
RUSSELL, and his associates in the Mitaistii,
to Denney Manx and the other commis
sioners of the Southern rebels, now in
London, looks like a premeditated limn.

of St. Series, ought to be in London by thin ;
time. At any rate, he will arrive in season to i
be able to state with distinctness the course of
his Government in regard to the action of
European Powers upon our present difficultiee.
He is, of all men, singularly qualified to dis
charge this duty with conscientious fidelity
and unfaltering eotinige. IMF a think that it will

commissioners of the tractors now in arms
against this Government, will be Immediately

sent may have been in regard to those who
have taken np arms against it in the Southern
States; however it may have indulged and
wafted for returning reason among the et:a
spiratory, there can be no hesitation when
Great Britain coma fumed, directly or indi
rectly, to espouse the cause of these men. For
years past it has been the pride of the Ame
riean people to et:ldeate the kindest relations
with the rulers of Great Britain. Ancieni
feuds--have been forgotten or ignored. The
remembrances of the Revolution, and of the
late 4 war, by cowmen consent, have been sunk
into oblivion. in the struggle which took
place between England and the other
allies and Russia in the Crimean war, not
withstanding the ascertained friendly dis
position of the .Rusaians toward our people
and oar Government, the American press
and the American public opinion ral
lied around the banner of St. George, and
wished it complete success. Indeed,tee Lon
din time* abaft' and we' preelebeed, that in
this country England looked as its stay and sup
poit in the event of defeat. The ties between
our people and the people of England have
been growing so strong and so close that we
seem to have become almost one family. This
policy haa extinguished lauds in Ireland, and
greatly contributed to adjust the long anti
vexations strife between the two islands. The
succisaful experiment of colonizing Australia
may be attributed, in a great degree, to the,
amicable relations existing between the United
Statee and the British Government. In fact,.
In international courtesy, whether ripen sea
or land, the two Powers have rivalled each
other in acts of generosity and benevo
lence. But, if Great Britain ehould
throw herself into the straggle ahortly to take
place between the contimuted authorities in

When it iiieloubtfal what may be the policy
of the British Government to the United States,
at the present Crisis, it may be proper to in
quire into the feeling of the British People.

tion,—if its purpose be, we will not say aim
gay to reetiefeen, but to e.rtettd Slavery. A
gam of Commons supporting a Ministry in
taking part in favor of Slavery would not
irate represent the wishes—you may even say
the prejudices of the British public. If Lord
Jou Roseau, a political hair-splitter, and
Lord Euarearros, a party weathercock, were
13 coma Great Britain to recognition of, or
alliance with, the revolted South, would Par
liament sanction it ?
The /douse of Lords, an eminently Gouger_
-wative body, would not sanction any such
impolicy as that. The peers, who are mainly
oMtnembre, would not and will not recognize
Rebellion against the United States. If ever
the South should actually become an inde
pendent Republic, with any prospect of staid
/14r, the House of Lords would acknowledge
it,- at length s —never before. The ablest
statesman, the most eloquent speaker, the
moat powerful politician in the House of
Lords, is the Earl of Dower, and We dud dim

ss decidedly against the South, except as part
and parcel at our Union. We well may call

Were he to defeat the Palmerston Ministry,

Queen VioroirL would commission him to I WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
form an Administration, as in 1952 and 1858,
but, no doubt, either, that he would soon be
thiven from aloe by the union of all the anti-
Conservative sections, as happened to l'sst
in 1885, and to himself on the two occasions
above mentioned. Lord DtaliT Is more poten
aa master of the occasion, when 110
pleases, than ati Prime Minister with a pack of
place-hunting opponents yelping at his heels.
We may rest assured tharLOrd DEBBY will
prevent tke Bongo of Lords irons sanctioning
any Ministerial policy which would side with
the South and slight the North.
With this certainty 01 having one branch
of the Legislature opposed to him, should he
attempt such oitter-beAl policy as this, Lord
PALIMILSTON would doubtless feel the inutility
of endeavoring to persuade the House of
Commons to stand by him, and sanction his
recognition of the revolted South. Ent, sup
pose that he did make the endeavor, how
would he stand, and what would the result be?
In the Rouse of Commons, as in the Rouse
of Lords, the Conservatives are numerically
the strongest party. In the. Lords, however,
there are only two parties—the Conservatives
and the Liberals. In the Commons there are
half a dezen parties, each numerical/I , ' weaker
than the Conservative section, but when
united against it, a very little stronger. A
very little, indeed, seeing that, in the last
groat trial et strength, 'the aviator' on Mr.
GLAD/Mira Budget, the Binistry carried
their point Only by a majority of eighteen—a
small majority, considering that there aro 658
members of Parliament.
Tho^parties who usually support the Palmer
ston Cabinet are : 1, The Whigs ; 2,7 be
uirra-Litrerala ; 3, The Irish Members ; 4,
The Peace party; and 5, The Dissenting in
terest. Lot PALMERSTON, JOUR RUSSELL, and
Co. ask Parliament to amaction the 1V6. 0 8 16-
Son, at this time, of the Southern Confederacy,
and their majority must fall. The Whip, who
claim that Fox, their beetle-browed loader,
abalished the Slave Trade,in 1806, would pro
bably hesitate before they sanctioned ro
cogniziug Slavery en masse in 1861. The
ultra-Liberals are nearly all anti-slavery men,
and groat readers of lc Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The Irish Members, to be consistent, should
oppose Slavery in all shapes. The Peace
party must feel that recognition of the South
might lead to a war with the North. Lastly,
all over England, the greatest and most active
anti-blavery men are among the Dissenters.
Whatever the tWhig, ultra Liberal, and Irish
Members might de, we do not think that the
Peace party, (led by BRIGHT and GOSDEJS,)
and the Dissenting party in the Rouse of CraiD
mons would vote for PALMERSTON it he de
sired Parliament to endorse his recognition of
the Southern Confederacy. sow, parliamen
tary parties are so nicely balanced that the
withdrawal of the Peae,e party or the Dis
senters would crush the present Ministry, by
allowing the Opposition to outvote them on
this national question.
If, the Palnlerston Ministry value their
continuance in office—and it is notorious:that
they de—they never will run the risk of being
outvoted on this question of their violating
international law and national comity, by
siding with the rebeltious South.
We shall not further discuss this question.
But we repeat, from the moat intimate ac
quaintance with the feeling of England, as a
nation, and of Englishmen, as Christian mem
bers of society, that recognition of the Slavery
principle, by siding with, or sanctioning, or
coquetting with the South, would be tho
roughly fan-English. Lancashire, which has
2,500,000 persons more or less interested in
the cotton manufacture, might desire to see
the South backed up, for the sake of its cot

vernment of the archives of the Telegraph Com
pany was 114 coup d' dtat worthy of the good astute
in which the Government Is now engaged. What
a mass of information, what an encyclopedia of
esorets has thus been secured ! For every reason
the matiagere of the telegraph have been compelled
to preserve the originals of the innumerable do
apAtehes, private and public, sent and received
over their wires. Many a lawsuit has bean decided
by the mere wording of a telegram ; many a love
metal' low been consummated by the throbbing of
there eleetrie nerves; but how mach treason has
been flashed from one to another of the con
spirators) engaged during the last four years
against the peace and happiness of this Union !
Talk of 'historians ; talk of the men who shall
write the history of the present straggle between
a free tforernruent and its enemies; talk of the
poets who shall sing in harmonious 1111100T11 the
praises of the brave men who have gone oat to
fight, bleed,: and die for the Union ; or of the
painters who stand ready, with inspired penal,
to delineate the battles Soon to be fought ;
all these are as nothing compared to the
happy man who, with the permission of
President Luanda and Secretary Cameron, shall
be introduced into the vast profound where,
for years pact, the mysteries of the telegraph office
have been concealed. Much has been said about
the interest attached to the opening of the letters
returned to the deaddetter branch of the 091101-nt
Post Office Department ; but they are nothing to
the new mine of interest shortly to be exposed to
the public) goee, in consequence of the possession
by the Government of the archive' of the Northern
telegraph offices. More than one Northern traitor
will tremble when he reflects upon the forthcoming
alsolosure. WO doubt many pious men have been
in consultation with the bOnthern conspirators, for
you will recollect that communication was main
tained between the North and the tioath for a long
time after the Ferree of I Jeffannin Davis and
his Confederates had been 10101114. These
worthy people, relying upon the secrecy of
the' telegraph, have doubtless signed ho
nest names to their despatches. 1 wonder
whether your Win. B. Reed 'may not be found
among the interesting volumes seized by the U. 8.
Karelia!, and now in the custody of his Majesty
Uncle Simnel? How many have been sent over
the lightning line by that illustrious Seceder, Robt.
Tyler, formerly of Bristol, now of nowhere? Of
course, ex-Calleotor Joseph B. Baker has address
ad his sometime friend John enaeu, and ex Gar
veyor John Hatuilton has, undoubtedly,. spoken
over the wires to that distinguished patriot, James
M. Mason, a large property-holder in German
town, Philadelphia. What a mass of odd, wen
-
trio, and amusing information George N. Sanders
must have sent over the telegraph ! He has un
doubtedly sworn most expensive oaths, paying
them himself sometimes, and char / stag them at
others to the impoverished leaders whom he was
inciting to ruin. Then the bankers and specula
tors, who, fearing to write by mail, have adopted
the electric line to be more confidential and safe—
how much they have suggested and confided to
their Southern companions and partners!
The beat part of all this capture, however, is in
the fact that it will serve to probe and prove the
shmerity of many men in the free States, who are
now making a sort of outside profession of dove--
UM: to the eovernment, either for the purpose of
obtaining the patronage of the tiovernmout, or of
securing its confidence in order to betray it to the
Southern Confederacy. These men are trying to
veneer over the rotten wood of their past record—
to polish it with present promises, and to rely upon
the fact that the decay and crime withinvill never
be exposed to the public gaze. Unfortunately. for
them, however, the deeeent upon the telegraph
ornees will subject them to a double mutiny. They
Cannot cheat two parties with this record before

original love—true to the seseding South, and
therefore they cannot expect, to be tolerated In the

The President and hie Qabinet were seated on a
platform (especially erected for their accommo
dation,) together with several other distinguished
gentlemen.
Winona Bkinner, on behalf Of the oftloara and
diorite of the department, opened the proceedings
by addressing the President, saying, among other
things, that they, in manifestation of their devo
tion to the country, the Constitution, and the pro
le/I'llo4n of the Union, had determined to rube
over ihn building the glorious "stars and stripes,"
under which our forefathers bad fought, and under
which flag they achieved our independence, and
under which, it WAO now hoped, freedom would be
perpetuated in all coming time. The clerks, he
said, were prowl of the opportunity of testifying;
to the President their fidelity and devotion to the
Union, which they were determined to maintain
to the end. Aud they would deem it the highest
honor consistent with the occasion if he would
condowend so miry the Rug to the most from which
it is to float.
The Praddent s baying advanced to the front
platform. was entlieslasttoally greet.lci from the

The expression met with a general and enthusi
astic response from the delighted multitude.
SPEECH or . posrxesroit GlViltliAL BLAZE
Postmaster General Blair, on behalf of the dicers
and clerks of the Departments, thanked the as
semblage for their presence. As the President bad
said, it seemed for a time that the affections of the
people for the flag had departed to one section of
cur country ; bat this was a great error. The old
flag is yet dear to all parts of the Union, and the
people are coming forward everywhere to uphold
and maintain it. It was not Imagoes of the beauty
of its colors—it was not because of the stars and
stripes on it: but bemuse it is immolated with all
that is dear to Amortises freedom r and beeanse It is
the emblem of-freedom and glory--the emblem of
a popular Government, so deep in the hearte of the'
nation. It Is for this r and this only, that the people
are protecting it—not as a party, bemuse we have
ceased to know party. [Cheers j We are no longer
Democrats, Wbige, and Republican'. We are
Americans standing up for free institntionsdre

that in pursuance et the great principle of main

am a bouthern man. They beg you to come and
preserve them from military despotism, from mu
spirators against their freedom. [A voice. Hang
every one of them.]
After further remarks he added : Disarm these
conspirators, and these bouthern men, like you,
will echo your voices in enthusiasm for the stars
and stripes.
As Mr Blair concluded he was lendly applauded
by the multitude.
Mr. Seward then responded to the impatient and
oft-repeated calls for him, saying
Fen.now-Crrizens : You here have known well
the statesmen and orators of some of the Southern
States. We have known their courage, and the
courage, the spirit, and the resolution of the peo
ple of ail the Southern States. But knowing
all three, we knot,' two things which even they
cannot do—one la to destroy Hail Volumbla,
and the other is, to destroy the Stanspeogled
Banner. [Repeated oheere. intermingled with
exclamations of No, never."l They will fail to

it was searoely within power of any human voles to

in the course of his remarks he expressed a be

emergencies; that treason will be retailed, rebel

republio become stronger and more endur ing after
these troubles shall have passed away than they
ever yet have been; that one flag will again float

of the free and the home of the brave.
Other distinguished gentlemen were called for,
but none advanced to address the patriotic and coe

in the words of the song.

ROW PRIL&D6LrHIA THINKS UPON THH WAllt QUZIP
It may be well, therefore, to detail the prevail
lug eontimont of the city upon the limos now pre
sented to Philadelphia, in common with the whole
Union. And first upon the plain issue of war.
Under MEI head the people Seem to be decided
that government is a term which implies coercion.
They believe that, in the exigency which has arisen,
coercion is not simply a necessity, but a duty,
which every iniptllSO of pstrioWm, yregervatien,
and justice compels.
Them are few, in feet, who pause to reason thus
'saintly upon the question of extinguishing this re
l3ellion in blood i for they cannot forget the . .t the
section which - Use delled the law MS also mantled
lie flag and profaned ita honor.
It is en impulse, rather than a painful duty,
with the populace to Make war, and it is well
that the 'seders of the people are grave and reve
rend seigneurs, whose prudence is proof to hot
headed wrath. The latter prefer to be scrupulous
rather than vindictive, but the former are blood.
thirsty and careless of means. There are many
who fret that the Administration has not pushed
its prudent purpose to resolve, and would, had the
law no terrors, have taken long ago ponamar,-
vengeance upon certain resident parties sweated
of harboring traitorous aentimente and intents.
The imprudence of snob finds foil in the admonl.
bons of the rage and the law-abiding. The patri
otiem of the two dame is equal ; the reel of the
one infuses a due activity into the other, and thus
the peace of the city le preserved, and the dignity
of the law maintained.
FROM CO'SSERVATIVE TO RADICAL
'" It would be idle to assume, however, that any
'considerable portion of the people maintain their
wonted calmness at this atlas. The people have
felt the insult to their Government more than any
`Private grievance, and thus it is that all party
feeds have been submeTged In the strong loVe of
- the nation. Politicians by profession look pain•
fully at this single-mindedness, and some there are
-who would make of the war an avenue to private
profit. There are John Hooke today, who would
ory " beef," and soulless folk would turn the ra
tions of the volunteers into cash for their purses.
But more remarked than any single change of
sentiment ban been that from conservatism to
radicalism.
In this matter the defection of the South has ef
fected more with the Northern mind than all the
ravings of pseudo philanthropy for the last twenty
years. Philadelphia, which from ite position,
was always at least as much of Southern as of
Northern feeling, counts among the late oonrerts
to roaloolirm come of Ito etouncitom oitizene. Let
the safety of the South consult with its fanaticism
for an embittered North is not more hardy than
flog, and fog all iliSpeatd, in t h .ea tittioe of civil

We understood yeaterday that a lady—the wife
of a mamba of Colonel Dare's regiment—of the
Nineteenth ward, was ordered away from the com

prior to that time, supported hereon' and family.
The wives of defenders should meet with courte
