Recognition OF their Independence.

The question is now being debated in the
Republican party, whether it is not advisable
TO recognize the Independence Of the South
crn Confederacy, and let the seeding States
60, compromising matters with the Border
States so as TO retain them in the Union II
this latter object be impossible, then to allow
general scsaration Of the country into two
great Confedcraces, the one established on
the basis Of slave and the other Of free labor.
The National lnteIligencer strongly advocates
this policy and it seems that the question has
been discussed in the Cabinet Of Mr.. Lincoln.
Either there must be fight at once or the
adoption of this policy. The evacuation Of
Fort Sumter and the other forts in the South,
win be nothing less than virtual roeogni-
ton of the independence Of The Southern Con
federacy, 50 that the mere formalty Of word
afterwards would signify but little.
Abe Lincoln does not seem to aspire TO the
character of jackson, and there can be no
doubt that, if his present lenient course con-
tinues, there will be Southern Confederacy
established, without question from any quar-
ter Of the world. What such a coniederacy
would amount to, in the scale Of national
power and importance, time would have to
develope.
Hit be the design of Mr.. Lincoln and "thc
North TO agree to peaceful separation ol
the two sections the party in powerat Wash
ington has certainly committed an cgrcgious
blunder by its late action in Congress on the
tariff question. The bill increases taxes on
foreign merchandise TO such an extent as to
make the duties very distastelul to England
and France. This feeling on the part of Eng
land and France will estrange them from an
otherwise natural sympathy with the North.
They hate slavery, but they love their own
commerce and its interests; and, finding the
ports of the South open TO free trade, their
commercial operations will tend in that direc-
ton, and it will be their policy to cultivate
friendly relations with the Southern Con
federacy. But, the North would not, we pre-
sumo, be very slow to abolish system thus
damaging to their interests, in case of a
peaceablc separation.
If two Conledcracics are the result Of the
do nothing policy Of the present Administra-
ton, as n matter of course, California Will
stand where Senator Latham has placed her,
towit: with the Northern Confederacy. She
is free State, and it is not TO the interests OF
her people that slavery should be INTRODUCED
into her limits
