We have been griev- ously annoyed and hampered by foreign sympathy with our foes ; have fretted that intelligent men abroad would not or could not comprehend the merits of our cause. And so it might have gone on, to the involving us in foreign war, had not the great Ruler permitted this conspiracy of oppression and sedition to explain itself to the universe by the assassin- ation of our President. That deed of blood has opened the eyes of the world to the true nature of the adversary which we a...re throttling. What did the rebel sympathizers abroad say when the strange news thrilled with horror the heart of Europe ? With one loud cry, the organs of that sympathy said that the responsible heads of the Southern Confederacy must disavow and reprobate the murder, on pain of forfeiting the respect of every person there who was not infamous. A British peer of that side predicted, from his place in par- liament, that the next steamer would assuredly bring over a universal outburst of condemnation, from the South, of Booth's nefarious act.
