Northern inconsistency. [From the Aberdeen (Scotland) People's Journal June 22] The risk of any collision with the North on account of our recognition of the belligerent character of the embattled Southerners is infinitesimally small. When reflection succeeds to passion the Federalists will see and be ashamed of the ridiculous position they have taken. They are in reality decrying their own principles, and are abusing us for measuring their corn in their own bushel. They are enraged at the truth of the text which says, "with whatsoever measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again." Their whole history is one continual protest against the doctrines they now lay down. Their nation began in secession, and Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, were only illustrious as seceders. To the recognition of their belligerent character by France, and to the aid they derived from the fisets and land forces of the French nation, they were indebted for that independence of which they b

When the last mail left, no less than sixty ships of the North were lying as prizes at New Orleans. This unexpected application of American doctrine has created quite an explosion of opinion, to the effect that President Davis' letter-of-marque men are just so many pirates and malefactors, who ought to dangle at the yard-arm, and that John Bull must be as John Ketch, to hang them, and must decline at his peril. John smiles at the "peril," and does decline. We wonder what would satisfy the North. If we, at the bidding of Mr. Cassius Clay, shut our eyes to plain truths, and decide that the American war is no war at all, but a riot, and that the belligerents are not belligerents, but simply an insurgent crowd, why then, we must, in accordance with international law, refuse to acknowledge any right of blockade — a refusal which, w

But can our Government take such ground? Can we say that where the clergy, magistrates, Senators, and all classes of the people, are of one mind for separation, and where an army of 100,000 men, an active aggressive navy, and a President and Senate, are ready to enforce the general wish, that there is, notwithstanding such facts, no secession, no separation, and no

We see a new Government organized; we see a vast army occupying strong posts, daily increasing in numbers, and so strong that President Lincoln is in hot haste to attack it; we see the ships of the North carried captive into the ports of the South; we see a strong for besieged in military form and captured by the South; we see a Confederation of States, in which the people are as one man in support of the new Government, and we are told, forsooth, to leave out of mind all these facts, and say that there are no such facts, and no such belligerents.--We do not choose to say the manifest untruth dictated to us, and because we wil
