The Difficulties.

One of the fairest-secming New York papers,
and one which wc have been looking upon us
very scnsiblc sheet for some months past, has
suddenly become strangely bcfuddlcd. Our ullu'
sion is to the United Stntes. Economisf, and is
rare augmentation on the subject of Tile Diff
cutie. nj tie Gor=rnme"t. The article may be
found on another column; and will afford Il strik
Ing illustration of The practical 'edHc'i" al ui,"r-
dam in which the political philosophers OF the
North find themselves caught.
It will be seen that the Ernnumist regards tho
country ut I" the beginning Of IL series Of uppnll-
ing difficulties" whether peace or war shall come.
One or The other, it says, must c"mc, rs IA ne"-
trai policy il a practical iar"ssibili!y." That's
So Now if peace come, the difficulties that up
pail aro, 1st, The partition Of the national terri
tory ;-2ndly, the mutual claims Of the two na-
tiuns upon each other. Heard yc ever Tue like
As there were not justice and arithmetic enough
left in the land to arrange these things fairly and
squarely. For shame, thou faithiess Ecomomist!
But these are not the really appalling difficulties.
The one greatest horror of al is, that upon the
footsteps Of peaceful separation awe (tho North)
would have in the new nationality, we had Helped
to create, an artire commercial riral." There is
tha thing that sticks. The tulk about "wholcsae
and irrcpressihle smuggling along the whole from
tier" is sammon. The pill that refuses to go down
even the candid throat of the ErGnomi.t, is the
Interference of Southern Free Trade with the c"n-
mercial prospects of the North, and especially Of
New York. This, it intimates, would never do.
Ergo, peace must not be the solution.
But it seems tho Economistis is equally appalled,
BY the difficulties of war. The country is not
prepared for it. a loan Of $50,OOO,O 900 would be
required f'rtlwth, to be followed very soon by IL
repetition of the plaster. Whcreas, in point Of
fact the Jin J1ty could not be had East or West,
certainly lot frum the capitalists Of New Iurk
City,-then where Echo answers, where ? And
without this money, the Uuitci Status Government
cannot sustail itself in the prosecution of war.
Therefore, wiz must not be the policy.
And yet ", neutral policy" says the EeonO-
mst, is IL prsctical impussiLility." So we are to
have neither var, nor peace, nor neutrality. What
may be the drift OF this strange s:ray Of specula-
tive troubles, VIC arc unable to see, unless it be
found in the dosing sentence Of the article That
seems to contain the moral Of the story, and is
possibly tho first stsp Of tho Economisf towards
aiding and abettng tho Lincoln administration.
We will no., however, judge the Economist
hatiy. Having derived pleasure and help from
itspases, wo will watch its course impartially.

4 Commitment.

One of the editors Of the Augusta Constitutions
lis, who ba, been in attendance all the South
cln Conventions, thus writes Of the South Caroli-
ia Conventions
"Whiir the smallpox panic was raging in Co.
umbia, $. e., and the State Convention was about
tn meet. we went tlither to notice the frpt move
ncnt< in the granl political acton of State sece,-
sion. We followed the delegates to Charleston
ami were in laily communication with the public
proceedings Of the State Convention of South
Carolina No ai!er holy Of men ever convened
in the Palmetto State, than the delegates TO that
Convention AMI the mportnnt matters transact
e,l. required just snch tirmness, ability, and eype-
riencc. to conduct thcm to wise, peaceful, and
successful results. These pioneers were not only
able and willing. but they gave to oter fecedins
States the advantages ut their wisdom and patri
ulsm.'
Ia looking back over his round of visits, thc
editor ,lryly informs the good people of August
that he has been among patriots for zone time.
