The Daily Dispatch: August 24, 1861., [Electronic resource], Foreign recognition. (search)
New York Herald constantly asserts the certainty of a recognition of the Confederates States, and therefore urged the necessity of tremendous war preparations at the North. We give the following statement for what it is worth: The fact is, France and England have decided to break the blockade and recognise the Southern Confederacy, which events will soon take place, unless some brilliant and speedy victories are gained by the Northern forces. In the meantime every effort is being maly, signalizes itself by marked hostility, each day having offensive articles, signed by one of the lesser of its contributors, but emanating from the Cabinet of that most liberal of Ministers, Fersigny. The trick now is to unite Mexico to the Southern States, so that the Northern Confederacy and that of the South may be more equalized, and that one may keep the other in check, leaving France and England safe from the annoyance of seeing the American States assuming a power that menaced them.

t be supposed that any nation, merely cut of respect for the law of nations, would respect such a blockade? Certainly not. The whole outside world would conspire to break it. We consider the example directly in point. The welfare of England and France--their commercial safety --the food of millions of their subjects — are all dependent upon this blockade. The law of nations may be a strong bond, although it has appeared to be in each individual instance of its application, only a chain to resit is said to spring, and self-preservation is the first article in the Natural code. Will a man dying of starvation, with arms in his hand, abstain from seizing bread by violence, from respect for the municipal law? Just as soon as England and France will abstain from forcing their way to our marts, when their people are starving, because they have not our cotton. Mr. Bright, not content with giving his views upon the cotton question, enlightens his constituents upon the Constitution of
