| When we examine the questions which set No.sb
ana south at variance, we can discover nothing 70
promise an eftsctusl solution Of the difcutv There
Is more thought Of slavery among the SoufherRers
than among their adversaries. The usouIa ~ -
North, with the exception Of q small parfv eonso-
ed mostly to the New England States, are cute con.
tent to leave the shareholders alsue Int &c rar-.
OF the South really
y, and are aetusted, no doubt, 70 a great extent
BY this motive IN taking up arms Sui the more
we observe the more certain does It appear thar.
even II the slavery question could be adjusted the
South would be sundered from the North In - Ina
and policy IS completely as ever Take for instance
the State Of Maryland for an examuie There. an.
though slaves are kept there IS very little psrtial-
ty for slavery. If the shareholders saw their wav
70 such 8 contamination, they would gladly Be rif
Of their living chattles, and yet Maryland Is as bos
ne 70 the Northern sentiment and temper IS South
G Irolina itself.
It really seems IS if the social equality enforced
IN America had produced, It's fruit deep politi-
cal anrksg0nlsm. In every quarter and in evsrv
report We find traces Of violent collision between
class and class Men seem ready 70 adept even the
desperate alternative Of a new nationa i-v rather
than accept the governments or the fraternity Of
thDse whom they consider their inferioraf frba
Federsl Government Is spoken Of az representing
class whose ascendancy no gentleman could accent
u Is remarkable to observe the prominence which
this strange feeling is assuming. We might fancy
we were reading the history Of the BourboRism in
Ia Fendee, or Jacobinism in England. The de-
scripdon given of the saloons in Washington IL Ike

With fashion and not faith at the bottom Of The

that We, in England, find no difficulty in recon-
ing all these diversities of opinion with a nation
unity which no party would ever dream Of a.
alling But we, IN England are not siru4ted as
eople are situated in America.
These distinctions Of opinion are unforsunatelv.

The SubjugaflOn OF Maryland
From the London Guardian.
When, after the retreat Of the Confederateg from
uns0ns Hil, 1t was discovered that their g,ins on
at position were as veritable sdummiesV a ever
d adorned the windows of a chemists shOn and
at the Capital had been threatened BY nothing
pre- terrible than few logs, and stove piDe
e Federals were very naturally seized with aft
contemptuOus and comic Indignation. Never
eless these shams had served their turn. They
d deceived the eLemy for time; and, when their
lex was discovered, they left them still in utter
norsnee Of the plans Of Resuregard and his
my. Nor could the Northern troops, when thew
d detected the harmless strategem assert Vitn
y truth that there were false pretences only on
e Virginia side of the river Potomac A fiction
much greater scale was, AID is going Ga in
iryland, though it deceiYes and can deceive no

plemeuts of war; on the other side a mnltary
spCtlsm was initiating the forms OF peace. An
nois lawyer, almost King Log in his wsy With
a voice opinion Of his own, waits quietly
