 ERN CONFEpERACY.

 Historians in ages to come will ponder over the remarkable circumstance of the old and the new world having almost sim ultaneously presented the spectacle ofa new nation springing into existence. They will compare the relative positions of those two nations that threw off the yoke by which they felt themselves oppressed. They will oil the one hand, take into consi,lera- tion the tyranny and obnoxiousness of the Burbon dynasty of Naples, which impelled the populance to welcome their deliverer (Garbaldi) with open arms; and, on the other, they will inquire into the state of feeling between the two great sections of the same community which proved sufici- ent to make the one section separate from the other The conclusion will be that both the Italians of the new kingdom, and the Americans of the southern confederacy, were justified and actuated by similar mo- tives in declaring their independence. It will be happy thing that if the histo- rian can then say that while the Italians had in the achievement of their liberty, to resort to the sword and wade through blood, the Americans accomplished the work by peaceful process. He will see that the northern opinion differed so far from southern opinion, and northern insti- tutions, and that the abolition fanaticism at the North was so outrageous, that the only road left open to the South was to secede and form . separate republic. For time he will be able to trace the disastous results of the secession in ali directions, and he will find much to deplore in the dismemberment of the greatest of all re- | publics-thc United States.
 By and by. however, affairs will assume more promising aspect, and the loss of | prestige sustained by the shock of disunion will gradually be regained. The South will have gone on with the development of her natural resources-the cultivation of cotton, com, tobacco and rice, the working her coal and iron mines an! much besides that the country abounds with-while at the same time she will have been preparing l for an extension of her territory by the annexation of Central America Mexico, and even Cuba. The North will have made rapid strides in population and com merce, and looking forward to an extension of territory also by the admission of Cana da, or even the whole of the British North American colonies, into her confederacy When these objects have been respectively attained by the two confederacies, both will experience an augmentation of power, prestige and prosperity. A similar move ment may afterward be repeated by both, till in the end the whole continent of America will be divided between the confederacies. Then not only the historian, but the world, will exclaim, great indeed must have been that people from whose differences, and that republic from whose disruption, two such mighty nations could rise. 1Noqaa estlibertas, ct praeualebI.
