people under the same CONDITIONS would have done
also. What has so quckened our feelings and made
our observations so aeuteis not much the policy
of America 10 Itself as the prominence which -h4s
lately been given to that policy by certain paIty
m this country. For the iast ten years we have
been told, with every circumstance OF EN- prasis ard
s5jaration, that American hesitation were the IN
stitntiors on which every friend Of economy peace,
and gooe government should fix his EYES.
There the wisdom and moderation of citizens
managing their own afairs ehoged itself in peace,
thrift and contentment Such were the points kept
obtrusively before u.s. Ii the reader will refer to
any speech OF any Manchester orator he will find
tie Government Of the United States extravagantly
eulogzed for tho very qualities OF which it Is no
proved TO be utterly destitute, and the Americans
exalted beyond al other people on account OF gifts
which It Is plsin they never possessed It Is this
If the Americans wish to know the truth which
points the remarks of Esglishmen on their civil
war and its incidents. Ii il not that they are any
worse, or more Foolish, or more incorporate than
was to be expected under the trials TO which they
have been exposed but that they have been heid up
to cur admiration by Certain party among Us a
people in whose counsels no intempersnea or folly
would ever be likely TO prevail. When we see that
unlimited democracy conveys not the slightest secu
rity against the worst of wars and the most reck-
less extras agance, we may apply the moral at
home, and congratulate ourselves that the old Brit
ish Constitution has not been precipitately remod
eied after Manchester design.

losing confidence IN the gOUerEaent, aud another defeat
would bring large number over to the policy of
allowing secession to take place peaceably. Some
persons now express a belief that the North will
have to acknowledge the South before the ED of
the yeEr but the real tendency of events seems to
b. more and more IN the direction of the state OF
affairs that will render both parties glad of com
promise. The Federal troops are stated to have
evacuated both HArper's Ferry and Hampton, and
much anxiety was evidently felt to the safety Of
Washington. The opinion was, however, that it
would be crest mstako the part Of the Conf de-
rates 20 attack that city. If defeated they would
lose all prestige gained at Bull Runs and if success
full they would again unite the North against them
as one man; while if they abstain from Beedlessly
arousing luminosity and remain en- the defensive
the North Il is asserted So soon divide i0 too par
ties. an event which would greatly interfere not
only with enlistment but with the raising of money.
The expenses of the Federal Government are
enormous, being estimated by good authority at
considerably more than 600 coo per diem. The six
per cent Treasury notes are already at four dis

this is equal to the rate of ten per cent interest

Fro tle LOndsn Psst, (G0Verazsat Organ) Aug Il.
Ihs appointment of Gen. Mcclellan TO the com
niuid OF ihe federal army Is g circumstance which
not unnatural has excited considerable discussion
in the New York papers By one he is described
as military Dictator, who is to act entirely free
from the control of Gen. Scott and the War Depart
roent and by another loud complaint is raised be
csuse the gallant General, in compliance with the
intrgues of certain selfish politicians at Washington
is to be hampered in the selection of the general and
regiuental officers who are TO under his COM
uand. But all the accounts agree in one particular
ths. General Mcclellan having accepted the rsspon
sble post Of Commander in Chief, Is examining eY-
erythlng with his own eyes. and is endezv0ring to
enforce that stern and rigorous discipline, without
which, as the disaster at Bull Run shows, a great
army may speedily become a dsorganized and
pauic stricken rabbe.
But When the New York papers talk Of = militia
~ dictatorship. we hardly know what they mean
Civil war necessarily implies the suspension of
binary law and the substtutiOn of the rule of the
sword. As far as the lntere.ts of the North
are concerned it matters little whether this ek-
IRENE power is welded by the President at
Washington by the general at the head of the
army in the field. Mr.. Lincoln it is admitted, has
travelled far beyond t'e principles of the cOnstitu
ton. He has proclaimed ma RIAL law he has suspend
ed the babeas corpus act ad be has depOsed and i'm
pTisoned the municipal authorities at Baltimore
We do not sag that these measures are not perfectly
justifGb 6. The indemnity acts Of Congress prove
/, them TO he SO. Mr. Lincoln can delegate to the
chief of the army any power which the head Of tie
executive government is permitted to exercise; and
for the purposes of thPi campaign 1t matters little
repeat, whether Mr. Lnc0ln or General MeClel-
Ian exercise powers which beyond The strict let
