Consolidation.

This is the era of consolidation. The civilized
world is divided into three great emplres-Rus
sia. Great Britain and the United States. The
last is not numerically equal to France or Austria,
but in wealth, energy and territory, is far supe-
rior. France has reached that period of moral
decrepitude at which her population IS almost
stationary. Austria is nearly in the same con-
dition-and both are involved in deep financial
embarrassment Russia is increasing in popula-
ton, and in political Importance, and is financial
lyindependent. England increases in population,
at home at the rate of about one per cent per
annum, notwithstanding the immense tide Of
emigration from her shores to this country and
ber colonies. And she is still going on in her
East Indian career Of acquisition, being now en-
gagged in the dismemberment of the Burmese en-
pire. She is also pressing on Central America,
and on Africa. The recent financial changes in
the world, resulting from the enormous produc-
ton of gold in California and Australia, are.op-
Grating favorably to Great Britain. Her public
debt amounts to about four thousand millions OF
dollars, and the interest is three per cent-or
one hundred and twenty millions Of dollars per
annum. But the market rate Of interest is de-
clining. If nothing occurs to arrest the present
tendency of the money market, it will soon be
in her power to reduce the crate Of interest on her
public debt to two and half per cent, which
would amount in effect to reduction Of the public
debt one-sixth-the difference between three and
half per cent.-for Great Britain has adopted
the wise policy of reserying the privilege of pay-
ing her public debt at pleasure. Hence, if she
could obtain par for new bonds, at two and a
half per cent, she could pay off the old at three.
This would operate in favor of her tax-paying
population, and against the tax-receivng-the
bond-holders, who are the weather. class-and
would reduce the inequality between the two.
If we consider the present and prospective
condition of Russia, Great Britain and the Uni
ted States we will perceive that there never was

Death of Henry Clay.

This ustrious veteran Of the FORUM has passed away
to join the departed spirits of the great. Nations
tears attest the magnitude of his talents and the high
estimate in which he was helfby his countrylnen. lie
is one fthe last of that of giants in intellect who
succeeded the Fathers Of the Revoutionn our Federal
Councils For forty years. he lived IL. public station,
and for more than half that tme the confessed embodl-
ment of the principles Of the Wing party He has done
more to impress the age and country in which he lived
than any OF his cotcmporarics. Twice he saved the
Union by compromise. On each of these occasions,
the most formidable obstacle to his success consisted in
the position Of South Carolina, under the lead OF
splendid array other talented sons headed by the great
CALHOUN his rival in talent and in station his oppo-
neat in every principle. 1t is not strange that here in
South Carolina HENRY CLAY has had but few admirers,
and still fewer friends. But we bury our animosty i'll
the grave with his body, and assume not the invdious
task of scanning with critical acumen his principles or
his character The future must pronounce upon these,
the just verdict Of history.

Presidential Election.

Already have taken occasion to signify our adhc-
renee to the Democratic cause, and our opinion that
the State cannot properly do otherwise than vote the
Democratic ticket at the ensuing election. True we
desire no shouting throwing up of caps nor other
noisy demonstrations of JOY, over the nomination and
the PLATFORM but we heartily desire tie success OF the
recognised and avowed State Rights, anitar party,
in the approaching struggle with consolidation, high
tariff. National Bank anti-republicanism embraced in
the creed of the Wings.
Entertaining these opinions are surprised to find
so many disposed to undcrrac and sncer at the can
ddatcs and the platform of the Democracy, even while
protesting a determination to support them. If we
support them at all let US doit heartily This snarng
and swapping at the crowd with which we travel is
dsagreeabe to everybody, and does US no good. The
only effect it possibly have is to inurc the Democ.
racy and give aid and comfort to the Wings. If the
South in body would always yield ahearty and cheer
full support that party who came nearest to their
standard of right in few years she would dictate the
principles upon which the country should e governed.
This State has long occupied peculiar posltion-shc
has stood aoof from federal politics ard withheld her
self from all those associations arising out OF party con-
necton which bind together the several States OF the
Union. perhaps more intimately tLan anything else-
She has been in the Union, but not of it. What has
been the result? Has any good thing been effected
by it? Does any one hope that good will
result from continuing in it? II is evident to all that
we could not have done worse and perhaps if our par
ty alliances had been stronger the moral effect OF our
position might have operated upon our sister States OF
the South, to produce different consulnmation. We
are now in favor of playing the best game we can with
the cards dealt out to us bad tho' gh they bc) to
strengthen the hands Of our partners and weaken our
opponents. -->t

cenlrasm, and by desultory attacks around its
frontiers of outside tribes and nations, as Rome
was overthrown. Orwill they be broken topieces
by the shock of collision with one another!
1t may seem extravagant to speculate on the
chances of collision between this country and
Great Britain for empire, much less between us
and Russia. But we are practically less remote
than Rome was from Carthage or from Persia
But whatever may be the fact or the fate of tu
ture conflicts between us and foreign powers for
universal empire, we cannot doubt, that the late
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and militory achieve
ments of the United States have turned the
minds of the people to the contingencies of a
conflict with European powers and inspired
notion of universal empire; and that this idea
has had powerful effect on the internal conflict
between the sections.
The same motive is distinctly visible in the
recent and pending organizations of party. The
Democrats were not united on the Compromise
and are not. Many Of the North detcstcd it
for one reason, many Of the South for opposite
reasons. Yet such is the tendency to consolda-
ton, such the desire of about oue-lialf the peo
pie to rule the other and such the growing i'm
porance of our foreign relations, that the convic-
tons and the rights of sections have been sacri-
feed to the passion for Spoils, for power, and to
the idea Of national aggrandimment.
The Wings will probably adopt the policy Of
the Democrats, and will accept any platform to
prevent a disruption Of the party-and to secure
an available candidate. Hence the platforms Of
both parties will be alike, and the contest will be
for mcn-or rather will be between two factions,
and for the spois.
The doctrine of intervention into which both
parties at the North have largely embarked late
ly, istnot near so much the result Of sympathy
for struggling liberty in Europe, as the instinct
for conflict and foreign conquest. Weare des-
tined probably to follow the example Of England
to combine the passions of ambition and ava
rice to aim at once for territorial and commercial
expansion. But the changes that must result
from any general renewal Of war in Chnstendom
will be too great to allow ofspecuIation as tothe
actual condition of the world at the next general
peace-Southern Press.
