Commercial View Of the American
War.

An influential Liverpool commercial Jour-
nal takes the following view Of the american
War:
WITH WHOM Is THE BALANCE or SUCCESS.
Whether TO superior generai.hip, or dis
cipliue, OF pluck. OF 10 greater patriotism or
enthusiasm, or TO whatever else it may be
attributed, there can be no doubt Of the fact
that hitherto the balance Of success has been
with the South. This is not the place to
discuss the why or the wherefore. Viewing
the war and is Consequence from CONNER
eiaI point Of sight, the fact alone attracts our
attention amt we cannot but regard u as one
Of immense Importance, removing. rs we
think il does, the prospects Of peace from the
prnximate 10 the distant future. We're It

Another Champion of the Union in
England.

The London Spectator has an able article
on American affairs, in which the justice
and wisdom of the policy of our Govern
ment in endeavoring to re.establish the
Union are clearly shown, and the opinion
is expressed that the unfriendly views of
such journals as the London Times are
unworthy of the great English nation"
and not participated in by the masses of
the English people," The article denies the
Justice of the conclusion the advocates of
Secession have hurriedly arrived at, " that
the North are fighting for an impossibli
ty." Among other arguments which it
adduces to show the fallacy of that opinion, is
one based upon the relative price of food in
the North and the South. The belief is
expressed that so much distress will event
ually be caused in the rebeIlious districts
that it is by no means an impossibility that
"the Southern States may be obliged to ac-
cept almost any terms that the North may
choose to Offer"
Another point strongly presented is, that
the advocates of secession, when they con-
tend that disunion is desirable, because, as
they allege, it is the only possible step to a
conclusion of what they term causeless
and fratricidal strife, forget or ignore the
great fact that, if a separation were now
peacefully agreed upon, we could never ex-
pect permanent peace hereafter. The ar
tcle concludes with the expression of the
following opinions:
Now, we do not deny that the Americans
have themselves sowed the seeds of this petty
and contemplate State of feeling by the un-
friendly and bullying attitude they have so often
manifested to England but we do say that the
state of feeling on our part is petty and con-
temptible. We see that in deferred issue
there is no hope of deep and enduring tran.
Quilty for America; that it means decline
aud fall of the American nation into quarrel
some clans and tribes, and yet we hold up our
hands in horror at the present g fratricdaP'
We exhort them to look favorably on the in.
definite future of small strifes, equally fratric-
dal and probably far more demOralizing, be-
cause the latter would draw out of our side the
thorn of American rivalry. We have as little
respect as any OF our contemporaries for the
American Democracy of the last twenty years,
and its irritating and clustering policy; but we
must say this attitude on our part Is a shameful
and ignOble one,

The wisconsin Canvass.

The Press, by way of justifying the close
communion action of its clique of the
Republican party in this State, represents
the course of the Wisconsin Republicans as
of like character. How much partyism
there really is among our Republican
neighbors over the line, may be gathered
from the following wish uttered by the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the prominent Repub-
lican journal OF Wisconsin
Parties are substantially dissolved, and be-
tween men equally devoted to the Government,
we hope the people will select those whose
ability for the place to which they are nomi-
mated is the best, without regard to when.
where, or by whom they were selected.

Judge Belts Decision i'm the Prize
Cases.

OdScS
Judge Belts, of the United States Dis
trict Court of New York, has rendered an
elaborate decision in the prize bark Ha.
watha. By agreement of counsel for all
the prize vessels, the issues OF the several
cases we're argued together, and general
decision rendered, to avoid the unnecessary
procrastination which would result from a
separate argument in the case. 1t will,
therefore, be decision binding in all cases
likely to arise in the future, as the counsel
for the owners put in all the possible defen>
ces that could be raised in the pending cases,
such as the jurisdiction of court, the char
acter of the war under the law of nations,
the lawfulness of the blockade, &C., &c.
The Judge overruled the exception as to
the jurisdiction of the court. He decided
that state of war exists, and the fact that
it is to subdue rebellion places neutral
powers in the same position as if it was
waged between independent nations. So
far as their own acts can make them so
they are alien to the Government, but still
they are actually subject to the Constitution.
The remaining points OF the decision we
copy from the summary OF the New York
E1press:
The outbreak in the Southern States, there
fore, the Judge considers an open and fragrant
act of civil war against the United Sites.
The President possessed full competency un.
der the Constitution and existing laws, to Call
into service and employ the land and naval
forces of the United States to put down this
rebellion. and had rightly the power to estab.
lish blockades OF ports held by the insurgent
enemies, and enforce those blOckades accord
ing to the law of nations Adequate notice
was given that neutral vessels might depart
and those thereafter taken violating the block
ade, were consequently liable to the usual
penalty prescribed by international law.
The Judge, in conclusion. holds the Hiawatha
duly convicted, and condemns her and her
cargo to be confscated.
Some other points are discussed in the
opinion, but this is a resume in brief of the
principal issues involved.

Senator Rice's Position ON the Cues
tiOn Of Negro COnfiscatiOn.

between committee (appointed at public
meeting of citizens of Wabashaw county, to
interrogate the members of our Congress.
sional delegation, as to their position on
General FREMoNr's late proclamation,) and

1t will be seen that Senator RICE clearly
and emphatically sustains the President in
razeeing the proclamation of General FIRE.
MONT down to the standard of the law, and
for reasons which we regard not merely sat-
isfactory, but unanswerable. We commend
the Senator's patriotic letter to the atten-
tive perusal of our readers.
