SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1864.
The Foreign Policy of the United States.
Foreign intervention has been from the
tot the hope of the rebellion. The leaders
•of the South -would never have dared this
war had they not believed that European
recognition.. would establish the indepen
dence- of the Confederacy. This was. for
yetothe phantom that dismayed the JJnion.
In' the beginning of the war, -when
tbie-energy .of the Smith astonished the
-world, when we had no navy, when
our army was mismanaged, - when our
campaigns‘bad no results, when Europe
laughed to scorn the idea of the’conquest'
pf the South, then the intervention of
Trance'or England. was a perpetual threat.,
Itawas more ;• it was a danger.. The policy
of-interference was discussed in the Impe
rial Oabin'et j rcbel agents had secret inter
views-with' -French Ministers. Every
stpamenlfrbtight rumors that our enemies
were successful, and we sent back the
rout of Bull Run and
the.'.disastrous: campaign of the Penin
suia. .with anxety and fear. The ap
parent . failure' of the war for the Union
invited interference, and Whs the main ar
gument dfbur foes. What could Mr. Dav-
'the, Tuilleries or Mr. AdamS at
the Court,of St. James ?• Hot that we were
c^uSlpbgth& rebellion, but that we would
crush it. Our success was merely a pro
phecy, ' alindst universally . disbelieved.
Still, Wi-'European Governments did not
interfere. What prevented intervention?
It-’was hot .Slavery alone, for it is known
that to gain England and Prance "for al
lies -the Confederacy would have nominally
abolished slavery. It was not merely the
danger of interference, for the powerful
fcdatifion Sf'.England, Prance, and the
iif'lt had been established in ,
made the magnificent
campaigns of 18G4 impossible. Interven
tion was prevented by the masterly foreign
policy of the Government of the United
gtates—a policy never excelled in prudence;
firmness, and fidelity to the American
idea, and vindicated so thoroughly by its
success, and the present proud and almost
domineering attitude of the Union, that to
question its wisdom is equivalent to the
denial of our triumph.
-Jt was perhaps more from a desire to as
sert fto theory of the authority of -Con
gress than from dissatisfaction with our
present foreign relations that the House of
Representatives' has passed resolutions
which . virtually affirm that the United
gtates can have no foreign policy that Con
gress has not'predetermined. We do not
believe that such resolutions serve any good
purpose. No matter what may be their
intention, they are used as instruments to
injure the credit of the Administration, in
proof of which we cite the important fact
that every member of the Opposition voted
for them. Nor are these resolutions de
manded by any violation of the Na-.
tional precedents by the Executive branch
of the-* Government. The Constitution
does not recognize the House 'of Repre
sentatives as a part of the treatymaking
power—a power vested exclusively in the
President and Senate. The House, as the.
popular branch of Congress, may he ex
pected to, express the immediate feeling of
the people; but it does not follow that be
cause we are all, from the President down
to the teamster'in the army, earnest in
our resolution that the Monroe doctrine
shall never be surrendered, we should
go to war with Napoleon at once,
because his bayonets established Maximi
lian in Mexico. It is significant, tod, that
while the Majority of Senators are'sup-,
posed to* be decidedly opposed to Mr.
Reward on important subjects, the Senate
has sustained his foreign policy. Mr.
Sumner, who may be yielded the honor
pf being the leader of the Senate in all
questions of foreign policy, has, with the
- of a statesman, recognized the
necessity of avoiding foreign war, so long
as it can be avoided with honor, while we
have this great rebellion- to combat. - The
judgment of the country sustains the policy
that has thwarted Mason and Slidell,
prevented war with Europe, and at the
same time kept the honor of the nation
stainless, and exalted its power in Chris
tendom.
We have the right to assume our peace
ful relations with Europe as the results of
Mr, Seward's policy, for, if it had been
either weak or rash, nothing could have
prevented foreign interference. 1 Had he
shown a disposition to yield the rights of
America, they would have' been wrested
from a hand too feeble .to hold them. But
what have we yielded ? Nothing but what
pur treaties exacted: Mason and Slideh,
to England, courtesy to Brazil, and to all
Governments justice. The. Monroe doc
trine has been reaffirmed by Congress' and
repeated by Mr. Seward in the very
assurance he gave Jo Prance that our fo- :
reign' policy was not to be changed.. On
tire other hand, had he asserted one unjust;
' principle, the act would have hee.n empha
tically resented. But . for Mr. Seward’s
moderation and firmness the whole Ca
nadian border would now be reddened
with fire and blood. The St. Albans
raids were not made for the sake of :
plunder or revenge. They were ex
pressly ordered by the rebel leaders, and •
intended to create international complica
tions, and.brihg sudden and important aid
-to :fhe rebellion. For a-moment the North
was deceived, and rose as if to resent the
wrong. But Mri Seward was not de
ceived.. He did not put a navy on the
lak.es, and thus break one of the most im
portant stipulations in.our compact with
Great Britain, but he did establish the pass
port system, of which no foreign Power
can complain. This policy is vindicated
: by. the prompt action of :the Canadian au
thorities, which has already resulted in the
, re-arrest of several of the raiders, and more
than this, concedes the great principle
claimed our Government. And every
where'we triumph.- We fight no French
or English, janaies, but all our forces are
concentrated on our domestic enemies.
In tbe government of the world we have
• our Ml-share, and if foreign intervention
be still a danger, it lurks in the dark back
ground, wherein it will finally vanish, un
less summoned forth by our owu folly.
Have we the moral right to criticise on
mere grounds of technicality a policy which
has had these gigantic triumphs ? Cau we
substitute one safer and more upright ? If
it is possible, let it he, hut it is yet to he
revealed. It is not too much to say thal
to Mr. Seward we owe it that we are at
*; peace with the whole world, and are now
bringing to. an end the greatest war of the
century, to the astonishment of Europe,
.and without the interference of her Powers.
The Draft.
The President for three hundred
thousand men shoula-J ,e regarded, not as
an absolute demand fof tbat number of
soldiers, but as What might be considered
a deficiency call. The operation of the
last draft was imperfect. Instead of ob
taining our full quota, by reason of some
/derangement the real results are far below
Wbat were expected. At no. time has there
been a more imperative necessity for sol
diers than now. All the signs indicate the
-speedy suppression of the rebellion ; at
every .point our armies are victorious.
'Tsthqp is crumbling up Hood ; Sheb
iiAN has shattered the rebel power in;
Georgia ; Sheridan has cleaned the val
ley; Butl/ER. is about to reorganize the
Carolinas; Ganby is quietly exterminating
the rebel power in the trans-Mississippi
regions; while Grant holdsLEß at bay,;
ready, when the moment comes, to end
'the rebellion by taking Richmond. We.
"have now reached what might he called the
high agony, and effort in the prosecution of
4his vast war. If we fail now, then all
that we have done before will be vain, and'
oftf labors will be like those-of Sisyphus, for’
the stone which is now near the top of thf
hill will roll down again. We therefore
would press upon the minds of our readers
the great necessity of making every effort
to raise Pennsylvania’s quota for this draft.
There is no time to be lost. Every » an
should be enrolled; and in order that we
should have a just quota, every man who
is exempt by reason of age or infirmity
should have his name stricken from the
enrolment books. By energy and har
mony now, by-throwing ourselves upon
the South in this period of its despair and
desolation, wo may so utterly crush it be
fore spring that the war will •be over. Is
it not better to make a sacrifice now of
time and purpose, and thus end this thing
at once ?
' Death’s Doings Abroad.
| Within a single week wcThave heard of
the'death of six persons who, more or less,
were celebrities in Europe. These ,are Mr.
Davton, American Minister at Paris;
Constant Mocquabd, private Secretary
to the Emperor of the French; the Earl
of Carlisle, . lately Viceroy of Ireland
David Roberts, the great painter; Louis
Perrin, the Irish judge, and William
Williams, M. P. for Lambeth-, one of the
London metropolitan boroughs. '
! The career of Mr. Davton was so lately
sketched in this journal that we heed'not
go into its particulars now. Mr. Davton
might be truly described as
“ Good without effort, groat without a foe,”
and it has not surprised us to learn that,
among the mourning crowd who attended
his obsequies on the Gth inst., at the Ameri
can church in Paris, several Southern gen
tlemen-Were noticed. He would not have
completed his fifty-seventh year until next
February, and his appearance as well as his
habits gave every promise of long life.
M. Mocquabd, who died at the more
advanced age of 18, commenced his public
career over forty years ago in the diplo
matic service, under the first Napoleon.
When the Empire fell, he practiced at
the bar for over ten years, until his health
broke down, always showing liberal ten
dencies. The Revolution of jlB3o -drew
-him from -retirement'to-office, in whibh he
continued until 1889, when his, friendly
relations with the Bonaparte? family
drew him into the circtfe of Prince Louis
Napoleon’s friends, and in 1840 he be
came editor of the Commerce, a Napoleonic
journal in Paris. In 1840, on the failure
of the Boulogne invasion, he acted as‘one
of Louis Napoleon’s advocates with
marked ability,' steadily supported his Pre
sidential aspirations in 1848, ; and was made
'Chierof the Cabinet Qn bis patron’s elec
tion. He waS deep in the secret and ac
tion of-the coup d'etat, since-Which, time
he has acted as N apoleon’s’ private Secret
tsuyy w ith the'.title' of Chef de Cabinet.
•Be- had' considerable ability, having writ-■
ten the Life of Queen Hortense, a book
called “ Nouvelies Causes Cfilebres,” seve
ral dramas, and some poetry. He folly:
possessed the confidence of his imperial
master.
The Earl of Carlisle, who was Lord Mor
peth when he visited the United States,
in 1842; was at. once* one of the most
■wealthy and' most liberal of the British
nobility. After highly distinguishing him
,self at the University of Oxford, he entered
the House of in which he con
tinued, with little intermission,: until he
succeeded to the Earldom, on Ms father’s
death, in 1848. fluent speaker,
but Ms matter was superior to his man
ner, wMch was pedantic; and artificial
He never was Secretary of Legation at
St. Petersburg, or elsewhere. His first
public office was the CMef Secretary
ship of Ireland, where he won the appro
bation of O’Connell. He subsequently
occupied various Cabinet offices, and be
came Viceroy of Ireland in 1855, con
tinuing in that office until a few
months ago, with the exception of the
sixteen months, (1858-1859) of the second
Derby-Disraeli Government; He was de
servedly popular in Ireland. He died in
Ms sixty-third year. Lord Carlisle was
brother of the Dowager Duchess'of Suth
erland.
. David Roberts, who was elected Royal
Academician in 1841, was a native of
Scotland, and commenced life as a.housG-,
ln London, hepainted scenery
for. the .theatres, as Clarkson Stanvtr'.tji
was doing nt —tire — same nino Slid place;
studied oil-painting with great success,
and obtained-high reputation by sketches
and pictures made during a visit to Spain,
wMch was much augmented by subsequent
sketches in the East. He was the best
architectural painter of Ms day. His into-;
riors have never been surpassed. He was
68 years old when he died.
William Williams, for nearly thirty
years a member of the. House of Commons,
was a' wealthy London merchant, who
held the - most extreme Radical views—in
cluding what are called “ the five points of
the'Charter;” An indifferent speaker, he
yet was, to some extent, a power in the
legislature, for he devoted himself, from the
death of Mr. Joseph Home, to .advocacy
of the strictest retrenchment in the public
expenditure, carefully examining every
item in each money-vote, and thus acting
as a check upon ministerial ’ extravagance.
Mr. Williams had reached Mi advanced
age. .
Lotus Pebrin, whose life also had far
exceeded the “ three score years and ten”
allotted by the Psalmist—he was bom in
passed away. His father, a
teacher of languages in Dublin, compiled
the excellent French Dictionary which
bears his name. Called to the bar in 1806, .
Mr. Perrin soon obtained extensive prac
tice, and Sheix. declared, in 1881, in his
Sketches, that he was “universally ad
mitted to be the best common-law lawyer at
the Irish bar.” He sat in Parliament from
1833 to 1836, when, having become Attor
ney General of Ireland, he accepted a seat
on the Bench. In: the O’Connell trials of
1841, held in the Court of Queen’s Bench,
he was the only Judge who declared that
the defendant’s objections to the legality of
some of the proceedings were well-found-'
ed, but his three colleagues out-voted him.
After having held the judicial office for
nearly the fourth of a century, Mr. Justice
Perrin retired, upon the usual pension.
Among the many able lawyers who have
worn the ermine in Ireland, none was more
determinedly just, more consistently libe
ral, or more intuitively honest. . . i
The action of the Governor, as specified
in the opinion of Attorney General Meee<
dith, published yesterday, in' reference to
the case of the. Sixteenth Congressional
district, will he applauded by all reason
able men. We should like very much to
have seen General Koontz announced as
the duly-elected candidate, but it was not
in the power of Governor Curtin to make
that proclamation. If bur "friends made
an. imperfect return of their votes, they
should suffer from it. The duty of the
Governor is purely ministerial. He can
not amend the record; he must-submit to
it; and when it is imperfect he must
leave to Congress the decision of the
merits of the case. We have nd doubt iq
-our own mind at-all that General Koontz
has been legally elected the member .from
the Sixteenth' district, and wel think that
the House of Representatives will so de-
cide. At the s&jne time, we must applaud
the Governor for the ‘ impartiality witif
which he has discharged this,- one of
the most delicate duties of his adminis
tration. ;
Mb. Henry J. Raymond, of the New;
York Times, denies that he is a candidate
for the embassy to France. In the Times
of yesterday he says that, “so far as Mr.
Raymond is concerned, he neither seeks,
expects, nor desires this nor any other
office'finder the Government. He has been
elected to be a member of the next Con
gress, and intends to fulfil , the duties of
that position to the best of his ability, and;
with* entire fidelity to those who placed
him in it.”
Dp our readers know that pur enrol
ment’ lists .are very imperfect, and that if
the pending draft is to be properly con :
ducted, all who are exempt by
reason of age or infirmity should have
their names stricken from them ? If this i$
done, our quota will be largely lessened,-
and Philadelphia will give her just proi
portion of troops and no" more. Those
who have the matter in cfcarge must attend,
to this at onge.

Ameeicas Ihvbstioh,—There Is a praiseworthy,
disposition manifested by a few of the prominent
business men of the present day to make labor use
ful to itself as well as profitable to the capitalist.
This effort .to render the very dumblmplejnents of
Ton significant in the language they uttefLslnging
Songs of Hope, Competence, Happiness,; instead of
oarking Care and Discontent, is* a feature of our
age, of Northern civilisation-standing out in broad
to tif® effete labor systems o{.Eur#o or the
South. ... . /
One day this Reek—a pleasant,-frdstjf, ffisrsy
day—when Philadelphia glittered In thp' wintry
sun, passing through Chestnut we : were
attracted by the windows of No. 730, and curiosity
induced us to enter. Stepping Into the handsomely-
furnished and carpeted spacious reception room, we
found many persons of either sex examining the
beautiful and Ingenloußly-lsdostrions Instruments
which the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Com
pany, so widely and favorably known, not only
manufacture by countless thousands—the product
of {American Invention and Amerloan skill—but
through their bianeh houses are able to sell at
home, without" the aid of paid puffs from that arch'
enemy of'our nation, the London Timet,
As a rule, the appearance of any firm’s place of
business Indicates something as to their prosperity;
-aid a flashily-famished.salesroom pfovea'nothing
but the proprietor’s vanity. Now, everything about'
, the Grover & Baker Company’s rooms; llkethe ma
chines themselves, Is solid, heat, durable. Taste,;
simplicity, and {economy in .the use of thread are,
characteristic of each and ali of theirpatterna, and;
the new style, especially adapted to tailors, shoe-;
makers, carriage-trimmers, and tradesmen general
ly, is the neptus ultra of invention. ■- f ;
The' double-lock- elastio stitch of the machine of
this Company will outwear the fabric'ltself. Every!
stich is Seif fastening, find is too well arid favorably,
-known to the many housewives inthe Stod-tOTeJ
quire further notice. Either of the maohiphs of this’
Company will exeoute' either fine or heavy
from quilting the finest opera oloalt, emtgolderlcg
the baby’s sweetest robes, or sewing the soldier’s,
overcoat of stontest blue.
Purchasers or non-purchasers can learn on either
or all machines, and every inducement fs offered to
poor girls to become owners of these invaluable aids to
labor. There are women to-day In ail onr. large
cities that owe their present Independence, as com
pared with their former straggles for subsistence, to
these Invaluable aids to labor.
We see that this Company has prepared a spacious
and elegant apartment, fitted up as a school of in
struction, where all are taught free of charge, and
■where every poor girl can be taught the complete
working of these machines, nndlsturbed by the
Babel of politicians, and fearless of St. Albans
raiders or conspirators now safely landed In Port
Delaware or elsewhere.
The .G-rover A Baker machine heins, tolls, binds,
embroiders, cords, quilts, tucks, and in fact dees
everything; sews ever; fabric the hand can do, save
putting on buttons and making button-holes. Of
course It cannot out clothes like a scissors. In fact,
it is the only machine in the market that will sew
the -bolting cloths of a flour mill so as to stand the
test. ;In fact, this machine Is equally useful in
binding the heaviest Brussels or Turkey carpet,
sewing the heaviest leather, or hemming or em
broidering the finest Swiss muslin or gauze Bilk.
Between the Grover & Baker machine of the
present day and the first crude instruments of Elias
Howe there is scared; a vestige of likeness, and
persons who have become wearied of tho continual
waste of thread and perpetual breaking of inferior
machines, should visit the rooms of this Company,
for they will be able to best appreciate the wide
line of demarcation between a poor and a superior
article.
New York, Deo. 23.
A great advantage of patronizing an established
firm like the Grover & Baker Company is that you
kndw on whont to rely—where to go, if by an acci
dent a machine gets out of repair, or you require a
lost piece, or need a hammer, quilter, or any detail
of the maabine. The politeness of the Philadelphia
agency, ~ the number of . people ,of either sex 'they
employ, the quiet that prevails through their vast
rooms, even when dozens of machines are in opera
tion, and scores of visitors are thronging their
magnifioent salesrooms, all point this out as the
model Sewing Machine establishment of the me
tropolis of the Keystone State, and a model institu
tion of the city, that no stranger who has a wife,
daughter,' sister, or friend to whom he desires to
make a valuable and lasting Christmas present will
leave Philadelphia without visiting.
Do vow Wish a Sewing Machine 1 If you do,
buy the “ Florence.” sold at No, wo Chestnut street.
Every Machine sold is warranted to give, entire
aatisfhotion, or the money will be returned to the
purchaser. . Besides, the company,' through their
agent, keep every Machine they sell in 'perfect
order, and give Instructions free of'charge.. Go and
see them In' operation. An examination of fifteen
minutes will satisfy the most skeptical that Hie
<f Florence” is the Sewing Machine of the age.
