The Liberal Element in England

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.

Letters received by mail from England by Senators in Washington, from Messrs. Bright, Cobden, the Duke of Argyle, and other members of the Liberal party, state that unless something is done to demonstrate the ability of the government to put down the rebellion and convince the anti-slavery party in England that we are in earnest about emancipation, the sympathy of the liberal element will be lost and the Southern Confederacy recognized.
