Those wlio have taken their views of the j American yiv'.l, war from tl;e rfcpre-tn'.atiuus | of tlie North must now bogin to havo some doubts of their own wisdom. IIa}>py is it for Knt^ljind, and happy will it be, we be lieve, for America, thai they r^re^a small minority, and that the g^eat b?dy pf t^e nation has judged f??f itself in so important a innt>er.

Instead of standing in a decent neu trality between two powerful and incensed nations, f??r so must tliey now he called ; instead of being abie, when llie time comes, to speak with the calm of impartiality and the confidence derived from just oinieipa tion*, we bIiou^) have boon merely a set of partizans, doomed to explain away our has ty enthusiasm.

If anything were I needed to confirm th's canntry in its policy, j the piesent situation of affairs would be j quite enough. It is noto plain that this j must be a gigantic war.
