THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION.
lProm the London Times, Sept 81
It will be observed, perhaps that the American peo
pe began their national lite with union, and that there
vas every prospect Of the continuance Of this blessing
ont for the wicked selfshness Of the South But
there such prospect In reaty That Is the very ques
ton at issue We are disposed to think from the pas
sons which have been already developed In this con.
tst that the period Of union bad reached its limits
and that the various States Of the overgrown Confede.
racy could not have been long kept together. The
Unionis.s are naturally exaggerated at rupture by
which America loses power and democracy reputation.
The prestige Of popular institutions is gone when Il sp-
ne ara that they cannot country from foles or
errors and that human passions will have their way
under President at least wildly as under King.
In reality, however, the experiment which has broken
down may be regarded "A hopeless one from the be-
ginning No such mighty federation Of people as the
Vi lon has yet BEEN kept together and We
nav saw indeed that for the last twenty years Il o
Union has been gradually breaking up 1t is nov kno"
that this very secession has long been designed,
and nobody forget that the least quarrel between
parties 10 America was sufficient to bring thrai OF
separatiou into the mouths Of one OF them. That
separation We think in way or another must soon
have come pass. Thirty large and powerful sttes,
equivalent to 90 many European Kingdoms, with various
aud conflicting interests and pursuits we're not to be re-

might be better for all alike II they would scquiescs in
this union but that is not view Of aHis which ID al
says ken either by States men. They look at mi.
nor interests and from lower ground Instead OF giving
and taking for the common advantage they believe they
understand their own tfirs BEST and could do better
alone. The belief may be mistaken one, but sooner
or later il Is certain TO be entertained and then comes
either divorce or sutugaon. Qne Of those results in
I'll human probability will happen in the case before us,
and as cs cannot think the latter p1ssibts, We must
needs anticipate the former There will then be an end
OF the great American repGbc, and 1t will be seen that
10 advantage of geographical position or novelty of po-
csl Institutions can save people from the operation
Of natural laws.
RECRUITING IN IRELAND FOR THE FEDERAL
ARMY.
The Dublin Evening Post OF the 18th utmo assers
that there persons at present in this country agents
from America who endeayorlog &c enlist men for
the federal service and adds How far this may be
in copsopapce with international law We shall not
undertake TO determine but is certain that there are
many persons belonging 10 the disbandsd Irish militia
regiments not q. present employed, who, we believe,
would not object 70 any tempting Oilers that might be
made them 10 order TO secgre their assistance for the
government OF the Union 10 the deadly struggle which
il Is now waging with the Southern Oonfederacy.
