the United States for all political purposes
means tie individual States, and the indi-
vidual State is obviously not prepared to
be just, is rather prepared to be unjust as
far as it can and dare. The States left to
themselves will not make the two classes
equal in rights, aud yet without equality

enforce his claims; the black will mutiny,
as he did fortnight since on the trans
ports, to resist a dreaded demand. There
will either be an internecine civil war fatal
to that civilization which to men of the
nineteenth century is almost as valuable as
freedom, or a submission which will restore
slavery in all but name. 1t is all very we'll
to talk of compromise, of the influence of
discussion, and of opinion, but as a matter
of fact these processes, though possibly
certain, are too slow for human endurance.

that the dominant class in the eleven States

into an Indian, as his capacity may lead.
If the dominant race is TO decide with
out intervention, privilege is rs-established,
the war with lis fearful expenditure of blood
and treasure and energy, will have been
waged in vain, and the Union must sooner
or later be again asssiled by a competing
civilization. We do not, therefore, wonder
that shrewd Americans, pereeiyiag this,
are splitting into three camps of opinion,
fighting for three different schemes of poll
ty. One section would permit, perhaps
would welcome, the result they perceive at
hand, but the section ia small, aud to our
rerders at least not worthy of very careful
exposure. The others are two branches of
one great party which is resolved to pre-
vent the re-establshmsnt Of privilege, but
being resolved has split upon the policy by
which its resolve is to be attained. The
individual state, the republicans clearly per
ceive, must either be coerced into dong
the necessary impartial justice, or made to
see that it is for its interest to do Unjust
in fact either be placed under the Federal
power, .. G., in party phrase, under ''mili
tary CONTROL" or must be induced to estab

which is, we regret to perceive, slightly
gaining ground, being not only much the
quicker, but supported by the negroes them
selves, external justice would be secured,
but at the certain cost of State rights, which
are of doubtful value, and the possible risk
of freedom, which is simply invaluable
Under the second scheme justice would be
secured from within, the rulers seeing il
not done because they love justice, but be-
cause they must conciliate the msn whose
votes can turn the scale for OF against them
selves. Without external pressure applied
in one of these two modes the eleven States,
as they revive and recover their internal in
dependence, will re-establish the ancient
system, modified only BY restrictions on the
division of families, by a right to bare main
tenance Ia cash instead Of In kind and by
a restricted privilege of transfer from one
estate to another. Those changes are gains
to the negro, but they leave the grand struc-
turs of privilege untouched, and allow So
ciety in the South to reconstruct itself on
the basis of the right of dominant caste

Is, on a scheme which in few years must
inevitably conflict once more with the
scheme on which North American society
is and will continue based.
