(Eng.,) Mercury. Union or Conquests It is not often that we find oureelvfs agree ing with Gen. Butleiybiit there is mnch of force and gwd sense in some remarks which he late ly add res?ed to a meeting";; of tbo .Union Htte . Jjeague of Massachusetts, and which we cbm m end to the grave consideration of all friends , of constitutional freedom on either side of the Atlantic. General Builer is sufiiciently clear headed to iefceire: the. hopeless im possibility of the war between North and South ending in la restoration of the old Federal Unjon,'anj he argues the matter in a way which : must, ' we think, Carry conviction to all mind capa ble of a moment's serious reflection. . A mem bei'f Mr. Lincolu's Cabinet Postraastef Blair) having recently expressed the opinion that " the i ebel common Wealths, on! throwing down thejr arms, should be received into the Union y ith unimpaired rights, and. - with their local ; jDstitutionSi General Butler points oat .that; 1 this is a bimple absurdity. -It is preposterous t talk of re-admitting ilie Confederate States j ;, vo TTiiiuii. even if they wished to v, .omttftd. for the obvious reason Xfcati -they would return with views, ' purpose, in tprsfs and nassions wholly incompatible with thf Wisfhsitae of the duties incident tu the fede- li ral relation. l?J$ absolutely certain that they would be restless, dissatisfied,- and disloyal members of tbo federation, which they would only have re-entered on compulsion ; whereas it is of the very essence of the federal system that the several States composing it should co-operate willingly audio good faith for a com luon end. 'J he free and unjettered exer cise of 'popular franchises is the very life and soul oi a republican confederation ; yet how is it , possible to 'eu trust the ';-rebel jcbmmon- ,.i )i '. , - i f J !..(..tKUl.. wcaitiis wiin pweis wnicn wouiu miaiuuijr be employed, fen the very first occasion, to the 1 detriment of XlV ir Federal alUes7 General thi . Butler .sives or cou'dtc' of well-chosen- lllustra- titms of a position which is really too plain to need any illustration whatever. "If," he sen- sibly, asks 'the Confederate States were readmitted, and their represeutativ stook ttieir! seats in Congress, before some radical change vere effected, what guarantee I would there be that the Federal national debt would not be re pudiated, or made to stand upon the alternative that the Confederate debt must likewise be; paid?" Nothing could be more to the purpose than this pertinent suggestion; Of course tie Southern members of a restored Cougresyouldi votq to a man agaiust anj and every scheme of taxation saddling them and their constituents' with the costs of their own subjugation, ex- cept on the absurdly impossible hypothesis that Northern members would reciprocate the .courtesy by sharing the expense of a "wicked and unnatural rebellion." Nothing could en able the restored Union to live through the - first session of a freely elected Congress,; unless it were agreed at the onset to wipe out the war liabilities of North and South alike. Again t there is the insurmountable difficulty of the Presidential elections. How is it coi - -xeivable that North and South qojld ever agree in the choice of a rresideut, unless the Northern majority would once more submit, as ot old, to Southern dictation? "The .rebeL States must be regarded as destroyed, f it vould be almost impossible to choose another ' President, since no canoMdato ; likely to be selected would receive asupf port in the North as to give hi lafyrity of the whole Jt,lectoral Colle tituted of all the States, both lo rebel." The con-- rlusion is inevitable, and General Butler fear lessly faces it. - There can be no restoration; - of the fid Union of coequal commonwealths. If North and SouHh are ever agaiu to co-exist in one political system, a "radical change must beeflected in their mutual relations, and we are not left in doubt as to what that change must be. The North must be master arid the South must be servant. The seceded States must.' be $ regarded, as destroyed,'.' leaving; nothing behind them but so much " territory" to be held and governed as a, conquered de pendency. For the South there must hence forth be no representation in Congress, no share : in the elections of Presiden tsy no State rights, no voice, in the levying and disbursment of its own taxes, no popular franchises of any sort. Its government must be administered by .) Northern military pro -consuls, its jieople held i down in subjection ly Northern armies. This,1 and not any idle dream of reuntoh, is hencefor--ward the .only intelligible object of the war ; ! which is to be fought out " to the Jntter end." ; To dispassionate observers of the course 6f events in American there is, of" course, noth ing new iu all this. The conclusion -which General Butler so logically st ites and so coura geously accepts has, long bee j familiar to poli-. ticans who have refused to be blinded by un meaning phrases. From tlie first it has been evident to impartial bystanders that the alter-j native was not separation or- reunion, but separation or subjugation. Separation is con- . ceivable and possible; subjugation is conceiva-; . ' ble, though it is doubtful; whether it be . possible ; but reunion by force of arms, the compulsory re-establishment of an essentially" voluutary pact; is neither possible nor con ceivable. j .- ' l Now that this trulli, or rather truism, is. forcing itself on men's minds and finding open5 utterance, it may be hoped , that the friends of constitiitiorijil law and liberty in both hemis-i )heres will very seriously, consider the prac ! tical bearings of a conflict ; which misplaced; (3 mpathies have herhaps contributed to era ! 1 ittere and-prolong. What the Northern, Federation is xeally (if, unconsciously) fightrl .ing for is the creation of a vast Poland or Ve-v netia, tobe subdupd and annexed by military violeiice and held in subjection . by military, terrorism. It is exceedingly questionable, to ay the loast, whether the enterpise is practi cable, but there can be be no question whatever that is practi ble, its successful accomplishment would be the most grievous calamity that could befall the victors. It is not given to any pecple toenjoy the luxury of ruling an alien and hps- tile independency,' especial. y on its owa fron tier, by armed force, without suffering a fatal reaction on its own domestic liberties. The habitual exercise of unrestrained and arbi-H . rary powei over, a neighbe uring-f-above all,. a kiudred community is the very worst imagi natle training for , the citizens fof a free aud 4 self-governed commonwealth. A nation which ; 'has learned to 'govern- by the sword., and to "admire government by the sword, is already more than half prepared to endure at borne the ; military despotism which-it practises abroad. The generals and, the soldiers who are to re press disaffectioh in South Carolina ..an J Ala bama will be very dangerous citizens for Mas sachusetts ; and it were vain to hoio that t jo . . ; , ; i ;. - - v . . ;. , civil and j political franchise which are sjrsre matically corne J, hated, aud trampled dovn pn lone side of a river or mountain ridge wdl belong held sacred n. thje other, . If 1 habeas corpus, trial by ' jury, freedom of tht press," freedom of public meeting, freedom of the vote, are to be interdiced to the rebellious and subjugated South, it .is but too certain that they will be held, if held at all, on a: roost pre carious tenure by the . victorious North . The same political passions and the game political necessities which impel the Northern Federa-t lion to rule the recreant South by armed fore and terror will" also impel a dominant North ern majority to coerce and terrorise at trouble sbme minority of its , own citizens At home. We have already seen something of this j' but the occasional intrusions of legal right whjch authority or much violence .may i perpetrate in the first months -of a fierce , civil strife are as nothing compared with that hardened in d fTerence to law and liberty, wMcbcomes with the habitual and stematic exercise of arbitrary pjwer. '4-A ery few years of the regime which; the necessities of conquest, - would compel- the the North to imposeupon the South a regime of enormous armies of occupation, 'supported by forced mifitary contributions from a subjected territory, and commanded by gene-j-als knowing no law but their own will--would, it may be feared, leave little remaining bf that! reverence for constitutional freedom and civic right wh ch is the only reliabls liberties. . This is tho guarantee of a natidns justification if any justication be ueeded-of these friends of freedom who refuse their sym pathies! to the authors and abettors of the present; disastrous war. It is in the interests of the North no less than of ibe South rather it isin theicommou iutrestsof humanity, civiliza tion,: and progress -that We deprecate the in definite' prolongation of a conflict which has no intelligible aim or object but to make one na tion a despot over another., . Beecher in a Dilemma.. The ' Coxlritr in a notice of Hwnry "Ward Beecher's speech at Glasgow, says: ; " At the close of his address, a gentleman in the body of the room completely posed bim by j rcadjing a clause from the Uiited States Con stitution, in which slavery is made leg il, and by asking whether Mr. Becher and his friends! we' contending for the old Constitu tion or la new one. "If for the first, they must ; be contending for ijlavtry : if for the second they had no right to complain of the South for : foj lowing the same course.
