We admit that the South can make out its

to look into black faces along the M,ssissirp,
found the disepchantment. The decisive
difference is, that the North is purpasing to
to settle and possess this land according to
the Law of right, and the South according
to the Law of might.
We say, therefore, that the issue of the
contest need not be doubted. The events
Of il may be very uncertain, but, from the
parellel We have sketched, We think We can
Indicate the four chief causes Of the Scot
tish failure ~ existing in the present
CRISIS.
DlssENrioNs AMONG rHE REBILs. These
Of course are hid from Us BY the veil OF
smoke that rises above Bull Run. But as
between she party Of advance and the party
of defence, between the wond-be spoilers
Of New York bsnk-vau!,s and Philadelphia
mint aers, and the more prudent who de-
sire s'to be let stane," there Is already au
issue created. There are State jealousies,
and that impa,ience Of control which Is in
herent IN the Southern mind, as it was in
that of the Highland Chieftaius. There viii
be, as events move on. the same fcud de-
veloped between the Palmetto Of Carolina
and the Pride of China of the Georgian, as
then burned between Glen Garry of that ilk
and Vich Ian Vohr. There are rivalr,es OF
interest quite as fierce as those which reused
the anti-iar,ff furor Of Mr.. Calhoun. Much
as Great Britain may covet the cotton OF
South Carolina, she will not be disposed to
encourage Louisiana to competition 10
sugar with her own Jamaics. Virginia will
hardly brook the opening of rival Daho-
mey which shall cheaper into Improbable
ness her rearing Of slaves. While fighting
is to be done, these questions ure in abey-
ance; but 80 soon as men come to ask what
they nre fighting for, they revive. There
is self,shness inherent in the very idea Of
secession.
There is capital story. We think, in the
"Gesta Romanorum," Of three thieves Who
have robbed man Of large sum OF gold.
They propose carouse over their booty and
one Is sent to the town to buy vine. While
be is gone, the two left behind plot to mur.
der h'm on his return, so a. to have half
instead Of q third to their shares. He,
meanwhile, coveting the whole. buys poi -on
to put into the wine. They cut his throat
aud sit down to drinking, which soon finish.
Us them. 1t is an admirable illustration OF
the probable future OF successful secession.
Something very like this ruined the cause
Of James ILL.,, and something not unlike
it may be even now damaging the cause OF

The WANT OF ErrIcIEc1 AID FROM ABROAD.
We are not yet quite out OF the woods, and
it beh6oveth US not to halloo that We GER
tainly have found the path. But It'll more
than probable that the Southern hope Of
English or French aid has failed. Either
nation by itself might be won over but for
the other. lie il n bold and good chariot

harness. Either without the other Is sim

II by next November We can get q single
cotton port open. We shall have settled that
Uncle Tom and the Dutches of Sutherland
may return to the social cabinet Of Great
Britain, and that being so, the political
cabinet is Of small account.
