LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1881.

DEATH OF COUNT CAVOUR.

Terrible News comes to us immediately before
our going to press—news flashed to England
through the submarine telegraph—Death at seven
o'clock this morning, the 6th of June, 1861, of the
Count CA-vouß, Italy's first and foremost Statesman!

Count CAITOUR had been ill during the last few
days we all knew he had been prostrated recently
by typhus fever : and we had heard from day to
day with a feeling of dismay that he was being
bled again and again accDrding to the old idiotic
system of an almost obsolete school of physicians—
that he had been bled once, twice, thrice—actually
as many as six times altogether!—even more.
Count CAVOUR, we are grievously afraid, owes a
great deal to Doctor SANGRADO.
And the tidings of his death, while it is about
the worst news possible for the cause of Italian
Unity, will, if merely through sympathy for that
cause, carry profound dismay and anxiety to all
the various countries of Christendom.
Here was a man who might have untied the
Gordian knot of the Italian Difficulty.

Now that he is gone that knot will have to be
cut by the sword.
And who shall say—looking to the black-
ness of the inscrutable future—whether, in the
severing of that Gordian knot, VICTOR EMMA-
NUEL, or FRANCIS JOSEPH or NAPOLEON, is to
enact the part of the new ALEXANDER? GOD
knows ! The destinies of Italy are now trembling
in the Balance.

Connt CAVOUR has died, having been bled six
times. How many times will Italy herself have
to Lbleed now in consequence of this one man's
disappearance? His vigorous hand alone kept
well together the reins of the KING'S Government.
His astute mind alone discovered the way through
nurcberless difficulties for the King's Government.
Careless though CAVOUR was in principle, flexible
and elastic though his conscience—it must be
remembered of him (in spite of Savoy and
Nice, and other dark blots on his political
escutcheon) it must in justice to his memory
be born in mind in his regard that only under his
Premiership was it proved at length to be possible
that the life-long dream of CHARLES ALBERT could
be actually realised by VICTOR EMMANUEL.
CAvoun dies when his work is but partially done.
But already he had lived to falsify the haughty
sneer of Prince METTERNICII—he died not, until
he had shown to all Europe that Italy was
something more than a geographical expression.
The accounts brought to us by Mr. REUTER'S
Telegram—the brief but exquisitely touching
accounts flashed to us under the waters of the
Channel—telling of the emotion of the vast
crowds assembled round the Great Minister's
hotel where he lay dying, of the agitation ex-
cited among that crowd when the procession
passed through its midst, bearing the sacraments of
the Church to the bedside of the expiring statesman
—recall to mind the scenes witnessed a few years
since down at Whit&hall when our own Sir ROBERT
PEEL lay in anuisrslowly breathing his last after
his fatal accident. The critical position of the
affairs of Italy remind us, directly afterwards,
however, that a more exact resemblance would be
found rather in the signs of general dismay which
accompanied the death of MIRABEAU in one of
the greatest among the many great crises of the
French Revolution.

Sir JOHN TRELAWNY avowedly took on himself
the responsibility of giving Mr. SOTHERON EST-
COURT and his friends an opportunity of com-
pleting a Church Rate Compromise Bill. The
active promoters of simple abolition have, however,
deemed it necessary to state to their supporters that
they do not believe a compromise possible. The
fact seems to be that, though Sir JOHN TRELAWNY
and his more energetic supporters
differed as to
tactics, and as to the time for the third reading,
they entirely agree on the main point that aboli-
tion is now the,only choice open to Parliament. Sir

JOHN postponed the third reading of his bill for the
fortnight Mr. ESTCOURT required, under the full
conviction that the efforts of the latter gentleman
would only convince the House yet more strongly
that compromise is impracticable. Had he declined
to concede the fortnight to Mr. ESTCOURT, he
thinks many members might have complained of
his want of Parliamentary courtesy; and that, if
they had not voted against him, they might have
lessened his majority by absence. This may have
been the case; and it may be that Sir Jowl has
really been a good general. We must not forget
also that, unless he could have forced a -very early
division, the attractions of opening the new
Horticultural Gardens at Kensington would have
given him a very impatient house, and,
probably, one disposed to pair very freely with
each other, that they might pair immediately after
with fairer companions in the more agreeable place.
While, from all we have heard, we should have
preferred to have had the battle fought at once, we
are by no means pugnacious for fighting. One
thing gives some rather strong confirmation to Sir
JoaN TRELAWNY'S chief reason for postponement.
What calls itself the Church Institution, in which
noted stiff Churchmen, such as Mr. BERESFORD
HOPE, Mr. HUBBARD, M.P., Lord INGESTRE,
M.P., Lord ROBERT MONTAGU, M.P., and other
notables of this class assembled—held a special
meeting on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. CLABON
moved the first resolution, " That it would be
desirable to have the question of church rates
settled on the basis of leaving out, as objects of the
rate, such expenses as are connected with the per-
formance of Divine worship, the repair of the fabric
of the church and churchyard being left as the
objects of the rate, and of obtaining in return more
effectual powers for making and recovering the
rate." He then enumerated the only four courses
he knew of :-1. For the Church to remain in the
state in which she now was; 2. That some bill
should be passed increasing her powers; 3. Some
scheme of exemption of persons, as proposed by
Mr. HUBBARD ; 4. Exemption of objects, as pro-
posed in the resolution he now submitted. Of
course, concluding with showing that his own plan
was best, though he did not seem to be quite free
from some misgiving that it might lead Dissenters
ultimately to claim, as they do in some other coun-
tries, the alternate use of the buildings they con-
tributed to repair. A very reasonable claim cer-

tainly.
Mr. bERESFORD HOPE, who, before he dropped
between the two parliamentary stools of Maidstone
and Cambridge, was a leader in the House of Com-
mons against Sir J. TPELAWNY, moved an amend-
ment on Mr. CLABON'S resolution, which was in
fact a negative--‘‘ That whatever settlement of the
Church-rate question be adopted, it should be one
which should not establish any distinction between
the fabric rate and the wo.rship rate." Dire, in-
.deed, were the consequences which he predicted
from a fabric rate. "If this fabric rate were car-
ried they would have Sir JOHN TRELAWNY, Mr.
BRIGHT, Mr. STANSFELD, and other leaders of the
movement, asking for the admission of Dissenters
into the churches ; and by this the Church of Eng-
land would receive a more fatal blow than she could
sustain by the abolition of Church-rates. The
mainstay of the Church of England was that she
had never parted with her freehold property in the
Church. That was the foundation of her ecclesi-
astical legislature. That was the reason why she
had been able to keep the purity of her worship,
and to avoid those compromises with Noncon-
formists which would so terribly hamper her. If
this compromise were accepted, the freehold of the
Church would go, and all the rest would soon
follow."

Sir EDWARD GUST followed Mr. HOPE, leaning,
however, to taxing proprietors. Sir THOMAS
PHILIPS differed from Sir EDWARD—he would con-
sent to no compromise, but would graciously tole-
rate a concession. Another thought the proposed
concession " would not be an advantage either to
religious or political Dissenters, while it would
surrender the nationality of the worship of the
Church of England." Others followed, each ter-
rified at the probable working of the "concession"
or " compromise " proposed by another, till Mr.
HUBBARD came forward and, from his point of
view, made some rather moderate and practical re-
marks—" No doubt the subject was full of diffi-
culties, and principally because they were approach-
ing it from a great constitutional position, namely,
the nationality of the Church of England, and, on
the other hand, from a concession to Dissenters on
principles of civil and religious liberty. While
gentlemen looked at the question from either
view alone, they would never come to an agree-
ment. He did not like the word compromise,
because it implied an abandonment of principle,
but he thought they ought not, as a matter of
policy, to refuse to make a concession. In a great
portion of the country concession was now made to
Dissenters on church rates in large towns, and it
could not be prevented while Dissenters were
allowed to vote on church rates. He did not
think the resolution which had been proposed
would leave the question in a satisfactory or cre-
ditable position, and he thought they ought either
to eliminate from the general question that which
was adverse to it or to accept that which he de.
dined—total abolition—which was attempted to
be forced upon them. If they wished to know
the real principles which were at the bottom of
the opposition, it was the existence of the Esta-
blished Church with certain privileges and pre-
rogatives. If Churchmen preserved their charac-
ter and independence individually, he should be
disposed to meet the Dissenters with liberality.
He did not think that the state of affairs in the
House of Commons promised a settlement this
session, and Churchmen ought not therefore hastily
to make up their minds, but to consider some
plan of adjustment which would enable the Le-
gislature to get out of its present difficulties."
Lord MONTAGU wished for time to consult these
sagacious ecclesiastical officials, the Rural Deans
—but to be brief, Mr. CLABON was beaten, Mr.
HOPE triumphed ; and all agreed to appeal to
their reverences—the Rural Deans And so
ended the last meeting for settling what conces-
sion or what compromise should be offered to
Abolitionists. Sir JOHN TRELAWNY is, we sup-
pose, to wait now for what will be proffered, in
their wisdom, by the Rural Deans.

The Federal Government now hold in force the
southern bank of the Potomac east and south of
Washington. Fort Monroe is strongly occupied at
the entrance of the Bay of Chesapeake, which forms
the estuary of the Potomac and several other rivers,
and the movements, of which we had rumours be-
fore, we now hear, by the Great Eastern, have
become facts. Arlington Heights, which overlook
Washington from the Virginian side of the river,
and which are essential to its defence, have been
occupied without resistance; and also Alex-
andria, which though within sight of the
capital had the audacity to hoist the
Secessionist flag. In hauling down that flag, in-
deed, the only casualty in connection with the
Federal occupation occurred. The Secessionist
troops 500 in number, humanely or chivalrously
walked off without giving useless trouble. But an

innkeeper, over whose house the rebellious flag
waved, shot a valuable officer, Col. ELSWORTHY, as
he descended the stairs of the hotel, after pulling it
down. One of Col. ELsWORTHY'S privates imme-
diately shot and bayoneted the murderer of his
commander. But well qualified officers are not
numerous in the United States, and the murdered
colonel was not only much esteemed, but a personal
friend of the PRESIDENT. Hitherto, it is singular
that all the reported loss of life has been due to
bitter rancorous feeling; unless we include a few
of the mob shot in self-defence at Baltimore
and St. Louis by the troops who were attacked.
The Federalists are every day gaining strength.
Maryland they had already neutralised and occu-
pied. And General BUTLER, who commanded there,
is now moved lower down the Bay of Chesapeake;
he being the General who commands the strong
force at Fort Monroe. On the other side of Wash-
ington the advance does not seem yet to have been
made on the important position of Harper's Ferry.
A body of the Confederate troops, 6,000
strong, is said to be posted there ; and as it is
hardly likely they will retire without a blow, it
would seem not unlikely that the first serious
battle may be fought there. Richmond, though
the capital of Virginia, would not appear to
be a place of such strategic importance
as Harpers' Ferry, the latter being an arsenal and
a strong military position; it seems also to be very
important as connecting the line of the Federal
advance south of the Potomac with Western Vir-
ginia, which is strongly for the Union, and with the
free State of Ohio. Harper's Ferry is moreover a point
of hon our for the North, the Federal troops having
been compelled to leave it, after destroying its
stores and manufactories. Both at that place and
at Richmond, which is comparatively far South,
and not very far from General BUTLER'S division,
Southern troops are said to be constantly arriving.

Further West the Federal Government has thus
far the advantage—the large free States there
which lie on the upper course of the Mississippi
and its branches, not only hate slavery with the
aversion of free hard-working emigrants, but the
great river is their main road to the sea. They will
never join the Slave Confederation, and they will
fight to the last rather than leave the States of
Louisiana and Mississippi masters of its mouth.
Already, too, the strong Union feeling in that di-
rection has compelled theßorder States—Kentucky
and Missouri, to make terms with the PRESIDENT.
The sum of the position therefore is that the PRE-
SIDENTiS safe along the whole frontier, indeed could
act, if he needed, beyond the frontier, from the
westward up to Harper's Ferry. From that place
eastward till we arrive at Washington he has not
yet crossed the Potomac. But thence, following the
whole course of that river and the Bay of Chesapeake
southwards, to Fort Monroe, his forces are mas-
ters of Virginian soil ; the capital of which,
Richmond, lies between General SCOTT at Washing-
ton, on the North, and General BUTLER at Fort
Monroe, on the South—eighty or ninety miles from
each. Is it intended to place the rebel force in
Richmond between two fires ?

Notwithstanding, however, the warm language of
the American press in regard to England, language
which must soon cool down, it is useless to
disguise the fact that the quarrel is, in the first
instance, one of pure political pride. The overthrow
of slavery will, we hope, we can hardly say expect,
be a result—but only an accidental one, if it be one
at all. The South resents the defeat of its political
supremacy ; the North resents the non-acceptance
by the South of its political defeat, and its deter-
mination to be supreme over half, if it cannot be
over the whole, of the States. Each party believes
that, without Congressional interference with
State rights, slavery will wane, be discouraged, and
ultimately die, under the political dominancy of
the North ; but the North is almost as little in
favour of abolition as the South. We believe, in-
deed, that it esteems it to be one of its claims on the
South that it is quite ready to employ the servants
of the Federal Government as slave-hunters
and to allow the Free States still to be
hunting-grounds for the slaveholders. The North
will adhere to the interpretation of the
Constitution which recognises property in
man—which treats a fellow-creature as a
chattel ;—it will do this rather than part
company with the accursed system. We cannot
wish for the triumph of the proud negro•driving
aristocracy of America ; but the North must excuse
us for want of entire sympathy with their cause.
Let the Northern States understand that there is
not any of our colonies, not oar Indian Empire
itself, which every Englishman would not at once
part with, if the condition were that our Free
country should ever become a hunting-ground for
slaves ! Free America, on the contrary, says to
slave-holding America, only return to us, and you
shall hunt your fugitives for freedom—hunt them
to death if you like—from Pennsylvania and Ohio
to the borders of Canada ! It is this moral heart-
lessness which really checks the flow of English
sympathy. If the watchword were " Emancipa-
tion " it would be almost impossible to restrain the
fervour of the old country.

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY IN SOUTH
Norrs.---The rapid progress of the busy town of Newark,
so well known in the malt and lime trade, and the demands
for increased building, have induced the Conservative Land
Society to make their forty-third land purchase in that
place, being their second in the county of Nottingham. Th e
estate is but a short distance from the railway station, ex-
tending on the road from Newark to Sleaford to that from
the Great Northern Railway to Beacon-hill, and is well
taapted to the wants of the locality in the erection of new
hous,qs.

of days ago from gavannah with a cargo of timber. r Her
clearance is dated "at Savannah, the 22d day of Aprilr
in the year of our Lord 1861, and the first year of the inde-
pendence of the Confederate States of America." The
form of clearance is that of the Federal Government, the

the price of wheat and flour in all the markets throughout
the country. A Juxther fall is expected,

DEATH OF COUNT CAYOUR.

We have received official communication of the
death of Count Cavour, which took place at Turin
at 7 o'clock this morning, the 6th inst.

TURIN, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

The following bulletin respecting the state of
Count Cavour was published at 6 o'clock this

evening:—

"The fever continues, but no noticeable change
has taken place."
At 7 p.m. a great crowd blocked up the avenues
leading to Count Cavour's hotel. Great emotion
was manifested by the people when the procession
bearing the sacraments of the church went into the
hotel.

At 8.30 p.m. the physicians declared that they
entertained hopes that their patient would pass a
more quiet night.

An immense crowd surrounds the hotel.

Signor Minghetti has been entrusted ad interim
with the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and General
Fanti with the provisional administration of the
Marine.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY, June 5, 11 40 a.m.

In consequence of Count Cavour's illness the in-
tended ceremony at the tunnel of Mont Cenis is
postponed.

_BERLIN, JUNE 5.
The Prussian Chambers were closed to-day. The
King in his speech said :
" The session now ending has had important re-
sults, which tend to confirm the Government in the
line of policy which it has hitherto followed. These
results will also augment the influence of Prussia
in Germany and Europe."
The King then enumerated the treaties with
foreign Governments which have been sanctioned,
and the laws voted by the Chambers, and pointed
out the advantages which were to be expected
from them. His Majesty then thanked the Cham-
bers for the grants for the organisation of the army,
and said

" As regards the form in which those grants
have been voted, it may be passed over without
remark, as not affecting any vital principle.",
The King continued as follows :
" The military; organisation affords Prussia
strength to stand armed for her own protection as
well as for that of the whole German Fatherland.
The miliaiy organisation of Prussia is also the
more necessary for the security of the German
frontiers, as the attempt to revise the military
organisation of the German Confederation has not
succeeded.

" The Danish Government has not entirely
yielded to the demands of the German Federal
Diet. The proposals which have been made by
Denmark do not afford a certain prospect of a solu-
tion of the pending questions, but the nature of the
relations between Prussia and the great Powers
offers guarantees that they will not be affected by
the energetic measures which may become necessary
within the frontiers of the German Federal territory.
If the representatives of the country respect limits,
which to overstep would only serve the interests of
the revolutionary party, then I do confidently ex-
pect a blessed continuation of my reign.
" My motto for Prussia is, ' Kingdom by the
grace of God, maintenance of the laws and the con-
stitution, the fidelity of her people and of her
brave army, justice, truth, confidence, and fear of
God.' If you adopt this motto, then I expect a
future rich in hope."

TUE CHARGES AGAINST M. MIRES.

The Mires affair is at last to come on before the
public tribunals. The following are said to be, in
substance, the charges formally brought against
him :

"MM. Jules Isaac Mires, 51 years of acre, banker,
detained at Mazes, and Felix Solar, 50 years, ex-
banker, having resided Rue Saint Lazare, 71, but
now in flight, nre accused
" 1. Of having in April and May, 180, by em-
ploying fraudulent manoeuvres, in order to give
rise to the fear of a chimerical event, obtained sums
of money from a certain number of customers of the
Caisse-Generale des Chemins de Fer, and in "parti-
cular 6,567 f, from Ducros, 9,826 f. from Darner,
4,883 f. from Martin, 7,089 f. from Pinaud, and
2,879 f. from Tersouly ; also for obtaining quittances,

Petitjean, and others, and having thereby swindled
all or part of the fortune of others.

"2. Of having at the same epoch, under the
same circumstances, and by means of the same frau-
dulent measures destined to give rise to the fear of
a chimerical event, attempted to obtain fund 3, quit-
tances, or discharges from MM. Beauvais, Dreyfus,
Debray, Lefort, Dethierry, and others, and of hav-
ing thereby attempted to swindle all or part of the
fortune of others.

" 3. Of having dissipated and embezzled in 1857

persons named Courtier, Flamerant, Blanchet,

Bertrand, and M. Ballier.

" 7. Of having within less than three years, being
gerants of the company en commandite by shares
bearing the name of Mires and Co., and known
under the designation of Caisse-Generale des
Chemins de Fer, effected, by means of fraudulent
inventories, a division amor, the shareholders of
dividends not really acquired to the said company.
" Count Simeon, senator, residing Quai d'Orsay,
23, Count de. Poret, Rue d'Anjou St. Honore, 4;
Baron de Pontalba, Rue St. Georges, 38 ; and Count
de Chassepot, Hotel Choiseul, Rue St. Honore, are
cited as civilly responsible for having, being mem-
bers of the Council of Surveillance of the Company
of the Caisse-Generale des Chemins de Fer, know-
ingly consented to the distribution of dividends not
justified by sincere and regular inventories ; and as
having knowingly allowed to be committed in the
inventories grave inexactitudes prejudicial to the
company or to third parties."
The Droit has stated that the trial of MM. Mires
and Solar is to take place on Thursday, the 6th;
but this is scarcely possible. The judicial investi-
gation, though commenced in the month of Febru-
ary, was only terminated on the Ist, and the report
of M. Monginot, the accountant charged to examine
the books, was only deposited the day before ; more-
over, yesterday (Monday) M. Mathieu, advocate of
M. Mires, had not been able to obtain communica-
tion of the papers relative to the affair, nor have
the members of the Council of Surveillance had
time to prepare evidence in reply to the charges
against them. A postponement therefore is con-
sidered invitable.

OPENING OF THE _ROI AL HORTIOUL-

2 URAL SOCIETY'S NEW GARDENS.

The inaugural fete of the Royal Horticultural
Society yesterday, at their new grounds, was
assisted by nearly ten thousand of the elite of Lon-
don society. .By mid-day many visitors were pro-
menading thearcades and Conservatory, where there
was one of the most magnificent displays of growing
and cut fruits, heaths, ferns, giewnhouse and stove
plants, orchids, azaleas, &c., that have ever been
congregated in a horticultural exhibition.
The Prince Consort and the Royal Family
ar-
rived at the gardens at a quarter to five, and the
coup d'ceil as they advanced up the main avenue
was most picturesque. _ _

The Prince, having formally declared the
gardens opened, the procession resumed its way
to the eastern arcade, the distinguished visitors ex-
pressing admiration of the flowers on their
passage. After making a circuit of the conserva-
tory, they passed out at the central doors into the
verandah, and thence to a railed-in space where
stood a fine specimen of the Wellingtonia Gigantea,
presented by Messrs. Veitch and Son. The ground
here was kept by the Royal Engineers. The tree is
a remarkable one : a seedling of the gigantic species
of Californian growth, the bark of one member of
which is exhibiting in the Crystal Palace. Should
this native of Mariposa prosper, it will prove an
enduring memorial of the day and of the hand that
planted it, more lasting than brass and marble,
speaking silently the perpetual growth of nature
and the perpetual decay of the skill of man's handi-
craft.

On the departure of the Royal party, a splendidly
illuminated volume was presented to the Royal
visitors. Prince Albert, the Princess Louisa, the
Princess Helena, and Prince Arthur inscribed their
names on a page bordered with pansies; the Prince
of Wales on another page ; the Princess Mary of
Cambridge on another. The Dowager Duchess did
not sign ; indeed, we believe she had retired, The
Royal party having departed, the majority of the
Court tashionables followed, but not a few lovers of
flowers for their own sakes lingered about the stands
until the closing light of a clouded day veiled their
beauties; many, we believe, determining on a
future inspection.
The following are the recipients of the principal prizes :

TVIIICHSETTLEMENT WILL ADVANCE
LIBERTY?

There are two inquiries which in the present
condition of affairs in America force themselves
forward, and must have influence according to the
answers which they receive.
The first is—What will be the effect on sla-
very if the entire Slave States were separated
and formed a confederacy of their own P The im-
pression here is strong that if left to themselves
they would soon become embarrassed, and that
slavery would the sooner die out. It is argued
that this separation would release the North from
all obligations to return fugitive slaves, and that
great multitudes of slaves would escape from the
Border States. We have no doubt that many most
benevolently entertain this view, but we think there
is no force in it. If such a separation is effected,
a new power arises, having all the attributes of
a nation. They will use all their strength, so
as to secure and advance slavery, the one great
object of their organisation. As new territory is
essential to the spread, nay, the maintenance of
slavery, they will, by conquest, add new terri-
tory further South and West, and over that
they will spread the institution. In order to
supply themselves with the necessary labour for
cultivation, they will open the slave trade. This
will become to them a necessity, since the number
who will escape from the Border States into
liberty, will be so great that it will reduce mate-
rially the number to be sold ; or the Border States,
in order to secure themselves from this method of
depletion, will probably at once sell off to the South
the great mass of their slaves, and thus, there being
no steady supply from the slave-breeding States,
they will feel compelled to open the slave trade.
Thus Situated the interest of the Border States will
no longer be in conflict with the opening of the
slave trade. To our mind the inevitable result of a
separation will be the opening of the slave trade,
the extension of slavery, and the carrying of that
system far on into the future.

The second question is, What will be the effect on
Slavery if the rebellion is put down, and the Union
remains entire ? Will not the Seceders have the
same guarantees of the Constitution extended
to them ? Will they not be in the same position
they occupied before they rebelled ? And will they
not most certainly perpetuate slavery ? It is true
that all that was theirs under the Constitution will
be theirs still. But it must be borne in mind that
they will come back humbled, having failed in
their plans. They will not again threaten that if
their demands are not met they will break up the
Union—that will have lost all its influence on the
North. They come back knowing that the fugitive
slave law must be repealed, and that it is the will
of the majority that no new Slave State shall
be admitted. This will kill that thirst for
conquest—for new territory for slave States
—which has so long disturbed the nation.
This will place a cordon around slavery, and
hedge it in ;—being thus hedged in, and com-
pelled to live within its own limits, the tillage
of the land must be entirely changed, which will so
increase the expense as to render Slave labour less
valuable. Besides, the all pervading providence of
God is opening new sources for the supply of cotton,
so that when a few years hence the demand for
American cotton shall be far less urgent, its price
must fall, and then the cry will be from all the
South, how can we get rid of our slaves ? As the
profitableness of slavery intensified the desire to
maintain and extend it, so when it becomes no
longer profitable, but a source of expense, the same
selfishness will cry aloud for its abolition. God
works wonderful changes by means of the selfish
interests of men. In our judgment then it is best
for humanity and liberty that the rebellion should
be put down, and that the United States should
remain entire under its present Constitution.—
London American.
