ound belligerent employment for a whole generation. The Civil War, from the raising of the standard at Nottingham to the final reduction of Scotland and Ireland, lasted ten years. It matters not what the form of Government — whether despotism, constitutional monarchy, or republicanism,--the earth has no covert or shelter from war, except the grave. There alone "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." The American Unionists would build up in a colossal Union another Tower of Babel against which the floods and storms of War should beat in vain. Idle, impracticable enterprise! God has but to utter his voice, and there is a dispersion of the tribes, leaving a half finished monument to attest the weakness and the misery of man. The very magnitude of the project was the source of its failure.--For, as has been already shown in this paper, it is impossible to hold together immense territories having conflicting sectional and social interests and feelings, and inh

ord, whilst we ourselves sit in peace beneath our own vine and fig tree! God does not permit such injustice and inequality as that in his dominions. Moreover the Union could not have been preserved, unless the disposition to abuse power on the one hand, and the spirit of manly resistance on the other, had died out from the hearts of men. To these principles may be traced most of the wars which have convulsed society, and these, sooner or later, rendered the violent dismemberment of the United States inevitable. It was impossible to accede to the demands of the party which has overthrown the United States Constitution without such a surrender of manhood and self-respect as to the honor of humanity is rare in its annals. We must submit to war as a thing that is inevitable; that cannot be escaped by living in America any more than sorrow and death in any other shape, and console ourselves with reflecting that this great evil was forced upon us against our most earnest prayers and str

To speak of no other nation, England alone, our mother country, besides her various civil convulsions and wars with other empires, has had, within a period of seven hundred years, two hundred and sixty-six years of desolating war with France. Some of these wars lasted twenty, thirty, forty, and one over fifty years. The fate of the Continental nations has been even worse. Was the Western Hemisphere a part and parcel of Heaven, that we were to expect in it perpetual peace? It is not enough to emigrate from Europe to America to escape war; in order to accomplish that, man must emigrate from himself.

The British Parliament had been prorogued, and the Queen's speech, delivered by commission, says: "Civil war continues in America. It inflicts much evil, not only on the contending parties, but on other nations. We see, however, no reason to depart from our strict neutrality." The London Times seeks to palliate the Confederate reverses, but acknowledges that on the whole it is seldom that intelligence has been received so gloomy for the Confed
