been a moment at which peace was in any
anaa within bar recb. Three timea the
Confederate government baa attempted to
negotiate, aod three times its envois have
been insolently repulsed. It has never,
done any act calculated, by retaliating on
Northern toil the crime and cruelties per
petrated by Northern troops in tbe South,
to make negotiation difficult or peace un
popular. The Sou I hero people have shown
the world that their Buljugation is impos
sible. , They have maintained their inde
pendence and protected lhjir capital
against norniously tuperior numbers : and
without sustaining a single drfe.it approach
ing the character of a diaaater lb -y have,
on half a dozen disf.net occasions, inflicted
a total and crushing overthrow upon tba
main armies of the North. With every
year of tbe war their strength has increas
ed aod tbeir courage has risen ; their ter
mination grows daily niore stubborn and
"their devotion more perfect aod unani
mous ; and, io tbe words of tbe manifesto
tbe world must see that aucb a people can
not be conquered. The hopelessness of the
Northern cause is recognized by all ex
cept its most devoted partisans. At tba
same time, all are aware tbat it rests with
the North alone to terminate the struggle.
Victory does not increase tbe demands of
11 e South any more than defeat could re
duce Iheru. She asks only to be k-t alone;
she wishes for nothing except the with
drawal of Northern troops from ber soil
and Northern cruisers from her waters.
Peace, therefore, requires, only tbat the
aggressors should abandon the hope of
reducing free States, inhabited by an Eng
lish population, to a hateful servitude;
and it ill becomes the European Powers to
encourage that hope, and prolong tbe war,
by withholding a diplomatic acknowledg
ment of tbe universal conviction that the
independence of the South ia virtually an
accomplished fuel. London Standard,
