The "DEAD-LooK." The New York World
has announced during the past week that we
have reached in politics complete deadlock"
The South will not accept the amendment and
tne North can neither make it accept it nor
pass 1t without its consent; and the President
can neither make the South yield nor the North
yield, nor yield himself Moreover. until the
amendment is adopted the North can do abso-
lutely nothing. But situations like this are
not novel; The North has already had some
experience of this kind of embarrassment In
1860 it found itself in almost similar "fx."-
The South had no right TO secede; but, accord
ing to all the Democratic law yers nobody ha.}-
any right to prevent it. The President had the
right to enforce the laws; but had no right to
use force to arrest the law-breakers. The North
had the right to save the Union; but no right
to meddle with those who were DESTROYING if.
and so on. The muddle was, logically consid-
cred perfect beau y. Then, when the cues
ton of abolishing slavery came up, there were
the same difficulties. As a military leader, the
President had right to emancipate the slaves:
as civil ruler, he had not; but he could neith-
erbe wholly one nor wholly the other. He
might issue military proclamation; but it had
to be constitutionally sound; and then. al
though he might morally Gberate the slaves,
"held and firmly bound" The upshot of it all
was that the North in spirit of the widest
indifference to the reasoning of Democratic
sages, put down the rebellion and abolished
slavery. 1t of course lost all character as a
logician; but then it saved the nation. We
suspect if the present "dead-lock' should hap
pen to last too long, the Free States will find a
similar issue in their embarrassment They
will with the greatest absurdity reorganizc the
South and with the greatest illegality restore
peace and good government; and with the
greatest pigheadedness and stupidity peruse
calmly the noble demonstrations of their folly
which the Democratic press is sure to furnish.
