sent day cannot continue long. The facilities
for movement and destruction are go great that
nations soon exhaust their own and each others
resources, and peace must ensue. Then the re-
action Of the temporary stimulant comes, as it
did after the Crimean war. The ships were tied
up at the wharves, without frei shters or p,-
chasers, and grains and meats fell nearly fifty
per cent in value. The years 1856 and 1857
were ears of distress to the ship plug and agri-
cultural interests, and their sacr ices were ia.-
merse long before tie panic cane. Their de-
preston was the prelude to the financial tornado
which swept away 'he speculative values Of the
time, and the storm was hastenel by the dis.
turbance which war had produce in the supply,
demand and distribution of the staples of COM
merce.
Europe has not yet recovered from that revul
sion. We have done better, becau .e We possess
a virgin soil, young and hopeful community
and the sole production, comparatively speaking
of the great staple for the clothing Of the world
To this cause is to be attributed the extent of
our foreign importaions during the present year,
which it is now evident will yield revenue
fully equal to that Of 1857. War in Europe
may again create temporary demand
tor our grains and breadstuffs, and possibly for
our shipping. The latter point is not so certain
as the first for that depends much on the charac-
ter Of the war. When France and England
were transporting their vast elements for war to
the distant East, there was demand for trans
portation that may not exist in Continental
war; In that event the proximity of the COM
batants is greater, and the manner of movement
very different. 1t is not improbable that a war
on the Continent may create q demand for our
breadstuffs.
This, however, will depend upon tn, cha rac-
ter of the conflict that now threatens to involve
Europe. If it is simply war between two or
three of the great nations, that shall leave the
mass of their people to produce and consume,
then it may help us in some degree, but not to
the extent that the Crimean war did. for that
closed to the markets of Europe the vast grar
ma les of Southern Russia, and relieved us from
o great competitor. But even the character of
the coming conflict is in doubt 1t may be not
an international war, but general upheavng
of the nation, similar to that of lS4S. No
branch of commerce found profit in that dis
astrous year, or from its results. Speculation,
then, as to the temporary advantages to us from
awar in Europe, can only be of the most vague
and uncertain character, while it cannot but be
evident that the ultimate results of such war
must be detrimental to our highest interests.

The Question of the succession-The Divi.
sio"s Of the Opposition.

The opposition organs and orators Of the
country, North and South, are exutipg over
those intestine dissensions which have torn the
democratic party into pieces. Thus Frustrated
in the North and divided in the South upon mea-
surcs and men, the defeat in 1860 of this once all
powerful party is regarded by very large body
Of men in all sections, and Of all parties, as a
sure and inevitable thing. Bot it must not be
forgotten that the opposition forces are also Gu.
up into sections cliques and factions, and upon
measures and distractions in regard to which
there appears to be no possible margin Of accom-
mediation; while we know, from repeated tests OF
experience, that the odds and ends of the demo-
cracy, when the Presidency demands 1t, can be
rallied together upon that great universal and
paramount democratic principle-the spoils
Within the last twelve months the wrangling
democracy have been so terribly beaten in our
Northern State elections as to justify, to great
extent, the idea prevailing In the republican
camp that they can, without auy concessions to
the South, elect the next President of The Uaited
States To make this election, however. they
must hold the ground which they have secured
through the late elections, in conjunction with
trading Americans, dtsafected democrats and old

sections Of the sristocrsoy, there was but poor
chance for any satisfactory enlargement of the
franchise. Under the excitement Of the des
perate struggle for power in which their leaders
are now engaged, large concessions will un-
doubleday be wruDg from them to the popular
demands In trying to outoid each other ON this
question, they will probably reach point of
liberality with which even the aspirations of Mr..
Bright and his Manchester associates may rest
satisfied for awhile.

The Relations OF War md Commerce-Bear-
Ing az n European War on American In
terests.
The varying phases of the questions that now
disturb the peace of Europe are viewed with
much concern by our merchants, and discussed
with warmth in our speculative circles. Among
the latter general European war is argued to
be favorable OF adverse TO our interests, and to
the prospects of trade and speculation with us.
according to whether the reasoners belong to the
bull or the bear interest in the present state Of
the market.
The complications of cause and effect that
may arise from European war-which would
affect the interest of two hundred millions of
civilized men--would be SO great as to render it
impossible to reason out the detail Of its results
to any particular community. But there are
certain general principles which govern trade
and its relation to war, that can be considered
and which will afford us some clue to the pro-
bable general results.
The elements Of commerce resolve them
selves into three classes. These are supply.
demand and distribution. Whatever tends
to check or stimulate these has an imme-
date effect upon trade. War may for time
stimulate the consumption Of any particular arti-
Gle or class Of products, aud create a temporary
prosperity in that branch Of commerce. But as
commerce is simply the exchange Of products, it
cannot long continue to be prosperous where
the capacity of production is reduced on one
side, or the facilities for general distribution are
disturbed And this is what war does. II draws
large numbers VI men from their employments
and converts them into non producing con.
sumers; IL disturbs the channels of commerce.
and delays or stops distribution, by the double
operation of the physical effects of the conflict
and the doubt which IL infuses into the general
animus of trade, preventing the merchant from
undertaking operations which require time to ma
ture. Thus the general results of war are always
prcudcial. 1t stagnates capital, it destroys the
equilibrium Of supply and demand, and it inter
feres with distribution.
That temporary benefit may arise from war Ii
fully evident in the effects Of that In the Crimes
four years since; but the final results, even In
that case, bear out the general principles we
have laid down. As soon as it fairly began /,
created violent temporary demand for food
and ocean transportation. Grains, meats
and freiehts went up enormously, and
for season everything in those branches OF
commerce prospered. But the wars Of the pre-
