The AMERICAN UNIoN.-The London Times takes
a very correct view of the inherent strength Of the
American Union. when it says
The maintenance Of the integrity of the Union is
TO the people of the United States very like what the
maintenance Of the British Constitution is TO our
selves hundred times over, In the jargon of par
tles, or the heat If battle, the Union has been dis
solved and the Of the c institution las set for
ever But though this catastrophe is denounced
TIC inevitable result Of every grand contest, in the
one country es 40 the Other-n the Federal Republic
and in the Constitutional Mouarchr->uch results
would be equally unwelcome aud alarming to every
party IN the States. The Americans use great license
In what must call amicable h,stiIiiy; they fight
with each other in ell the nrdOr Of domestic passions;
but they have too lively of tie incalcuabe
advantages they derive from their Union To sacrifice
That great political Power to any accidents of
sional warfare. Nothing is mure rema rkable, or
creditnbe 10 the American people, than the fact
that In spite Of their reckless and bold character,
their wide and numerous divisions aud their unlimi-
ted freedom, these States have remained at peace
with zach other since the declarations of indepcnd-
ence. That is than can be said of any other
Confederation Known to history. The Greek States
of antiquity waged continual war on each other; the
Italian States ct the middle ages incapable of
a league; even in own day we have
third OF the Swiss can,ons subdued by army Of
their confederates; and the Germanc Confederation
presents melancholy picture of edfce in ruins.
The Uni ed States alone have retained the sacred de-
POsit OF their national peace nviUlate. under the
sanction Of common respect for a supreme authori
iy That is their chef strength and their chief go-
ny. From the aggression hostility of European
Powers they have nothing to fear but if ever The
evil time should when local interests pas
sions prevail over the public law, and disruption of
the Union should ensus, II is not too much to predict
that the whole face of the North American continent
would be changed, the habits and necessities of war
would predominaie those of peace. the institu
tons which suit the people would become i'm
possible insufficient, and the New World would in
time exhibit but a melancholy parody of the foes
and errors which have long afflicted the older in
habiiants uf mankind.
