That great Eenslish paper, the Lon.
don Times. contains \ lengthy article
OH the present state OF affairs in our
country. It does not think that the
present secession movement Of the
South will prove successful; says they
are hasty, passionate and fiery without
just cause that the main difficulty ex-
lists IN the fact that they have always
had a President Of their own choice
and now when one is chosen, whom
they do not prefer, they arc exaspera-
ted and obstinate. In regard to the
duties Of the President and the power
Of the South, it has the following, the
force and truth Of which every one
must acknowledge:
"a strong-minded President like Jack
son, whatever his own sympathies.
would probably not hesitate to crush
the C%arolinians by force. 1t is evident,
indeed. on the smallest reflection. that
the South. ever if united, could never
oppose for three months the greatly
preponaerating strength Of the North.
