2305 - L. Dec. 13; ed:2/1 - It is said that interest and anxiety felt
amorg all classes in England in the war now going on here have not been
exceeded, if equalled, by any war in which England has been engaged. The
liberals and conservatives of Europe feel that their contest has been
transferred to the American battle fields for the present. Cobden, a
man whose integrity and pluck have endeared him to the masses of the
English people, iooked upon the peaceable election held in this country,
Nov. 8 as "one of the sublimest spectacles ever witnessed on earth."
"For our part, it is a source of great satisfaction to us that the
North receives the sympathy of leading Liberals of Europe. We care not.
for the organs of aristocracy: Our cause is that of Democracy." (18)
