and Tennessee, and the recent accession of Arkansas to the Confederacy. The question of recognizing seven States in setting up an independent government against twenty-four, is a very different one from that of recognizing eleven States, led by so ancient a Commonwealth as Virginia, acting by authority of a unanimous popular vote — and the secession of the eleven supported by the neutrality of three others. The policy of recognizing the popular choice of rulers has been acknowledged by Europe herself in the vote of the French for Napoleon III, and of the Italians for Victor Emanuel. It would be anomalous indeed, if the same liberties which are accorded to the nationalities of Europe are to be denied to the free and sovereign States of America.--That certainly must at least be a de facto Government which is declared such by eleven sovereign States. That certainly must be something more than an insurrection which two hundred and fifty thousand troops must be called out to put down.
