What measures of a like nature, in the course of modern history, have not been be- set with the gravest difficulties, and some- ven shaken Lhe communities in which they have eceurred lo their very centre. Was hot such the ease in the Union of Scotland and England, the Act having been carried tiruugh the British Parliament by an ex- cvedingly suall majority ; yet whocan doub: the incalculable benefits which have resulted ty both nations from that measure. So was it with the repeal of the Corn Laws, of the Navigation Acts and the Free Trade Acta ot vurt owa times; each of which, notwith- ttsnding the evil predictions of opposers, have been auicag the most prominent ele- iments in raising Britain to a positivo of un- exampled power and prosperity. We nut oniy believe that in a national point of view, as in other things, Union 1s strength, but we also believe that Union is pros; erity, and we can ecdreely imagine the advent of a erisis more favorabie tor securing ty British North America the pregnant ele- ment of both these blessings. — Christian M SsCaer, Isi Feb. times e ee GUNBOATS ON TUE LAKES. In a recent letter of the New York cor- respondent of the London Times, the tullow- ing ia reference tu the present temper and attitude of our neighbours, appears :— “Thus the sharp Yankees have stolen a mare upon John Bull, and John Bull, as lar as the lakes are concerned, will have to submit to the disadvantage till the St. Law- renee is free of wce. It a9 useless to deny or conceal the fact that there is danger ahead in this direction, and that the over-cunning or tco impulsive fanatics who, for the pre- tent, controi the destinies of the Federal Re- public,may not mean war with Great Britain, but only to threaten for their own purposes, without resort.ng to the ultima ratio of Kings and Democracies, there is so much peril in playing with such edged tools as to make it the duty of the British Government to be prepared for all eventualities. Those who live opposite ta powder magazines must have an eye to their kre engines and water tanks ; aod those who would live at peace with the Americans must be strong enough to be feared, even if they be disliked and villified. It is quite true that the Federal Government has wore than enough on its hands in its war Sxainst the South, and that every true American statesman will admit. - Bot American statesmen are scarce, and, Worse still, they are not in power. The men in power, like the people they govern, take their wishes for facts and their passions for arguments, and no foreign statesman can te or predict what they will do in any given set of circumstances. Possibly, how- ever, the anti-British war mania may subside as suddenly as it broke out; but the British Government ought not to forget, either now or hereafter, that the Americans hate them ; that they would Itke to possess British Ame- rica, as an offset for the probable loss of the South; that the ignorance of the people with regard to the strength of Great Britain, especially, and Europe generally, is only equalled by their arrogance and presump- tion; and that eonsequently the only safe method of keepmmg on good terms with them is neither to olfer insult nor to brovk it, and to show under all circumstances that, though they wish to avoid a quarrel, they will, ila quarrel be forced upon them, so comport themselves that the aggressors shall reeeivea lesson which to all future time shai! teach ordinary caution, if it do not teach common hon ety.”” selaiaiaesinnneniemene LATEST SOUTHERN NEWS.

REUNION A WILD HALLUCINATION—NO DISTINC- TION BETWEEN RECONSTRUCTION AXD SUB- JUGATION, (From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan. 20.) No wilder halluciution could take possession of the human mind than the belief that we could ever again live with the Yankees on terms of equality, or come under the same goverument with Laem, exeept asa conquered people. Differ- ences of habit, sentiment aud feeling, aud diversi- tics of interest which wise legislation and conser- | vative statesinanship wight have reconciled, have, | under the councils of madmen, fit to disturb the! peace of allthe world, hardeved into an enduring antagonism. Vivleat and exclusive opiniens at the North have borne their legitimate fruits. Force has been substituted for reason and all the | healing arts of statesmanship. War has torn two people asunder, and placed between them an ocean of blood that will rewain forever; nor ever | can true reconciement grow where wounds of mortal hate have picreed so deep Let us not deceive ourselves in this matter. Let po weak dreamer drug himself with the iodine of recon- struction, nor lay tu his soul the flattering hope that life would be tolerable without our indepen- dence. Mr. Lincoln has indeed vouchsafed to tell us that he will cease when we lay down our arms. So the war ceased alter ibe battle oi Hast- ings, but the universal spuliativn of property, ce- privation of all personal privileges, and the toll- ing of curfew bells, illustrated the object for which the war was undertaken, and kept long in memory the bitterness of the peace by which it was followed. But worse than all this—worse than anything to be found on the darkest and saddest page of human history—would be that peace that we should gain by abandoning our struggle for independence, and bowing the neck to our evemies. Then Mr. Lincoln in his own elegaut phrase, would run his courts, and through their instrumentality complete the work of rob- bery and spoliation and ruin. Not only will all our property be swept from us into the public cotlers of the Yankees, or be divided out in por- tious and rewards to a hireling seldiery, but ju- dicial murders will be the order of the day. All the dark and malignant passione of a vindictive people, drunk with bioed aud vouwiting crime, will be unleashed upon us like blood-hounds upon their prey. Between reconstruction and subju- gation there is no reason why we should draw a distinetign ; 1t would be a distinction without a difference.
