ted from the measure in New York itself. OF oar
own position under such circumstances we shai7
presently speak; but, a. the consequences Of The
measure Would be felt more deeply By the AmeTi
cans themselves, we may give them the precedence
in our remarks upon the subject. 5 8f
1t has been asserted in some quarters, w ltd con
siderable emphasis, that Europe has Miasppfe-
hended the controversy between the Northern ana
Southern States of the Union. We are assured
that the slavery question does not constitute the
essence Of the quarrel: that it has been merely in
trodueed as blind, or as an instrHlHaft Of provo
cat9ff and THAT the real point Of contention Lies in
the national tariff. We do not believe in this ex
piapa1lon. Y e are convinced that tho contest for
South; but at the same time il would be impossi-
bic to deny that the South has always conceived
its interests in the matter Of tariffs to Be opnOsed
to those of the Nortn, and that its desire to reuH
late its custom duties for itself has had strong m
fuenee in determining its recent movements The
Southern States are agricultural and exporting
countries. Free trade is their natural system, and
ysiby SO. The cotton planters perfectly unaeg
stand that the commerce between the msnRfae +
nring States Of Enrope and the exporting States
OF America cannot be too free. They have always
consistently objected to the tariffs and navigation
laws Of the North. They do not wish to pFotees
Pennsylvania ironmastefs or favor the factories or
Lowell. They comprehend the views Of the North
| in those respects, but do not share them. They
have only one object, which is to get the highest
price Tor the greatest quantity OF cotton and tbeF
wish accordingly for cheap freshts and free trade
4 A fortnight ago the President OF the new Southern
/ Gonfederacy addressed his constituents in an inaa-
gura1 speech, and, after touching upon the periis
of the crisis, and the possible obligations of the se
ceders he proceeded to declare that the separation
Just copsummated was, in reality5 political ne
cessity, arising from the natural dscordance Ra-
tween Northern and Southern interests. He Ar
4 gued deliberately and dspassioRatefy that there
was not enough cougrHty of interest to keep the
North and South together: that an aatagonsm had
been unavoidably created between them by the
very nature of things, and that dissolution Of the
Union was not only q necessary, but an advanta-
geous result We shall not attempt any analysis
of these arguments. 1t will be sufficient for eRF
