The Daily Dispatch: April 6, 1864., [Electronic resource], Position of leading English statesmen. (search)
Position of leading English statesmen. --The London Index, February 4th, in speaking of the position of the leading English statesmen on the American question, remarks thus: Four-fifths of the House wish the Confederacy should be recognized, but do not choose to pass such a vote except on the responsibility of a leading statesman; and no leading statesman is prepared to take the responsibility of recognition. Lord Derby will not do it; and the Tories cannot come without Lord Derby. Lord Russell will not do it, and Lord Palmerston dare not throw him overboard. And in truth, except Lord R Cecil, we doubt if any prospective Cabinet Minister would dare to hazard his position by making the proposal.
