A WAR CERTAIN TO DISSOLVE THE UNIoN.--THE
NORTH IN ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND AGAINST
THE SOUTH
We are telling no news to the world in stating that the
Americans who must always have agitation going on
have for year past been becoming more and more
excited the disunion question The southern states
have been so threaten secession from the
Union when ythng they did not like was sand or done
Washington that their complaints have for some time
ceased alarm the friends OF republican government put
when the North after long submission to the domination
of the minority from the South began openly to question
whether the Union be really divine Instrument seeing
the moral sacrifices it has required it was evident to all
Europe as had long been TO all wise Americans, that
the Union must break up in disorder unless It's subjects
could agree land agree soon to weed out the
which renders it now unavoidable. The Washington
newspapers of dateshe dings which come from
the very heart of the Union-openly acknowledge the
danger. Within this month the Washington Union has
spoken thus After referring meeting at New York and
Charleston this central says need not
repeat what have often said that whenever the No
aud the South arrayed against each other with po
cal parties in the field exclusively sectional in their organ
zatons the days Of the Union are necessarily numbered
The Charleston Mercury therefore, is but carrying out It's
hostility the Union when IT advocates southern party
and repndates the democratic organization The South
no sooner the North seriously forming dis
party than she complains Of the treason and OF some
other things which show how empty were her own threats
of secession She complains OF poverty especially anu OF
in all respects in comparison With the North
One OF the curious features OF the whole controversy
the incompabity Of the pleas OF the party which be
gan the sectional quarrel The slave States complain OF
the oppression of the free States while boosting in the same
breath Of their supremacy in Congress- where they
have carried all their points, from the beginning OF the
Quarrel till now Where they been baed it has been
by the Of things and not by the votes OF the
North. They complain that the free States are rich
and populous while they themselves are ruined
in fortunes and in continually decreasing minority
as to numbers yet they furnish expeditions to "ac-
quire' territory, Of whose richness they hold out
tempting accounts to settlers from Europe, who, like
John Mitchell, think plantation stock with fat
negroes very good thing. After playing fast and
loose with the Union for above twenty years ,he SCUM
seems to be at really frightened lest the North should
take her her word The first and most obeous resource
is to bring on the question Of foreign The present
time is remarkably favorable to the device Inc var

To us appears that there strong reasons for beev-
ing that serious government proposal OF war with Eng
land would be the a5t stroke on the wedge which IS split
ting the Union We think 30 for the following reasons
The northern States have less interest IN the threat
ened war than they had in that of 1872 which they refused
to endure They have made fearful sacrifices even TO the
forfeiture of honor and conscience to preserve their trade
with the southern but there is limit TO this as to
every other sacrifice Mammon They bore the contume
ous turning out of their envoy, whom they sent tt
Charleston to assert the constitutional rights of the free
coloed of the New England ports They bore fol-
twenty years paddock their lips censorship on the
press now chain Gordon round the courthouse in Bos
ton and now the murder Of citizen OF Massachusetts
on his own threshold in Illinois, for his righteous determi
nation to work his own printng-press under the law
of that free State They have borne more indignihe
