THE FUTURE.


We cited few days ago the opinion expressed
by political journal to the effect that the
present war would extend through many years,
and would result in "the spelling of our goods,
the cessation Of business, the fight of riches, the
loss Of friends and kindred, the sacrifice Of our
own lives, and of every thing but liberty and the
future of this land of the whole world" This is
the prospect if the war continues to be waged on
the theory of such extremists.
A brilliant English statesman, and one who has
been commonly supposed to be gifted with no ordi-
nary sagacity, has thus sketohed the future which
lies before u.s. as the inevitable consequence of
present struggles, should they end, as he augurs,
in disunion. We quote from some remarks made
by Mr.. D'Israeli at the recent opening Of Parlia-
ment
cannot conceal from myself the conviction that those
in this House who may be young enough to live to witness
the conclusion and ultimate of this civil
will find that the America they recognise when the
waters have subsd, will be different America from
that which known to fathers, and to this
generation of which they have had much experience
1t will be, believe America Of armies america II
diplomacy america Of riUa States and manGuUer,ng
Cabinets america Of frequent turbulence and probably
0t frequent ,oar."
