But when tli North, after long aubmiasion to th domina- t?!tfXhf.Mnojitxf ly to question whether the Union b really a very divine instrument, teeing tb moral sacri fices it ha required, it wa vident to all Europe, at it had been ta all wise Americans, that tbe Union must break up in disorder, aulas it sub jects could agree (and agree toon) to weed ont the compromise which reiidera it now unworka ble. The Washington newspaper of recent us" me ihiing wuica cam from toe very heart of the Union openly acknowledge the danger. Within tint month tbe Washington Union ha spoken thus.
