TfiE ENGLISH PRESS OS . LINCOLN'S
SECOND TERM OT OFFICE-THE KKCOGNI
rroN- QUESTION iir A NKW LUG HT.- The
London Standard, has an editorial on the
second inauguration-..of Lincoln. It says;
.Mr. Lincoln in 1861 could claim, with some
show bf reason, to be the President cf tbe
whole thirty four States; for, though fifteen
of th en Y hud unanimously and peremptorily*
-rejected him, they had tajken part in the
eleation which. led to his triumph. Mr.
. Lincoln, in 1865, is manifestly thc Presi.
dent only of the North. Not Only 'have
the eleven Confed?rate Stales taten no part
"whatever in the election, but they have
been excluded from it by formal and ex?
press legislation. The pseudo Governments
t . of Louisiana and Tennessee offose delegates
. to cast the vpte of those States; and that
tote bas been rejected by the 'Congress at
Washington. > It is formally declar ,d that
* the eleven States which form the Confede?
racy are out. of tho Tunion. .Th? position hf
the Federal Government is {bus materially
changed, :\-. ...
* * To treat Mr. Lincoln as Presi?
dent over die Southam States, ia virtue of
the recent election], is.to* com tn. u ourselves
oil whole tissue of absurdities; if those
States are portions of the Union, he bas
riot been elected at all; for that can be
. no election from which one-third of the
constituent body is excluded. If they are
portions cf the Union, Congress could*ha--e
00 right to exclude or dispense with their
votes. If they no longer belong to the Union,
*!* then Mr.jLincol n has no authority ovei them,
;;ndhis present enterprise is an attempt to
conquer an 'indepeudent nation, not to
subdue rebels. . In a word, either tho elec?
tion is valid, in which case the eleven Cou -
federate States are not members of the
..' Union, or His ia valid, and the Union has no
Government whatever. Jf Mr. Lincoln be
. 1 lawfully President of the Union, ?he. seces
'. ?ion of the South is a legal fact,-and Mr.
Davis is legally President of'the Con fade
rate States.v If We recognize Ibo present
GavernmenL of the United States at ?ll, we
. dac by implication, recognise the indepen
deaceof the So.ntb.<* We have, of cour.-?**,
. no hope t?at ,iAy such nrgumeut will in
. lluence .the jwHcy of the Ad mini- rr.uica*g
With that policy neither justice nor reason
hat anything to do. It is on tire com
paralive strength, not on the diplomatic ot
, legal rights, ot fcbasVvo Confederacies that
. the action of Her Majesty's Government
depends.' But there- -is a ' melancholy
- pleasure in stripping away the last shred of
excuse that bad hidden from England thc
uncsrtbiaess of. tbe part she had been mad?
to playvand exposing to all eyes the aakec
hypocrisy of Lord .Russells strict and ita
partis* neutrality. ' 9 *
