Office, No. 36 Commercial street. ae = me J ng ’ ‘THURSDAY, AUGUST Bm, 1961. WILL THE UNION BE PRES@RVEDt We have adopted a certain course of pro. cedure to suppress rebellion, and whether that course was agreeable to individual par-. ‘ties at the outset, or not, it being entered upon, there is but one thing Jeft, to-wit: to fight it to the end. Upon this all are agreed. — What will be the result, it is impossible for’ ‘any man tosay with certainty. We can only mow appreciate and applaud the gatriotism ‘that is ever ready at.our country’s call, to sustain a government which has never op‘pressed but always blessed all that sought its protection. It is a terrible necessity that can demand war between brothers ‘and countryamen; and we can only justify war upon the grounds of that very neceséity—that all othor expedients have failed, that nothing else will answer, and. that this. will restore the “country to union and peace, to justice and ‘ order. Whether it will so result, depends upon facts not yet determined. Is this redellion, or is it revolution ? that is, is it the work of afew who have misled or over-awed the many, or is it the wish and the fixed determination of alarge majority at the South, that the Union shall be dissolved ? is it the result of temporary and transitory excitement, or is it a conscious conviction, for which they will suffer and endure ? There is no doubt that the South willeventually be conquered. But that does not decide the question of the restoration of the union of co-equal States. That Union wes not based upon compulsion, and it cannot rest upon force. England can conquer Ireland and hold it, without violence to her constitution ; Austria can gatrison.and retain Venetia, without a change of laws; Russia can incorporate a subjected people, like the Poles, in accordance with her policy ; but we cannot have States in such a condition. If the Union is ever restored, South Carolina must be the equal of Massachusetts, and Virginia Sof New York ; and they must remain togeth+e own will, . Let ts_underatand the nature and aim of this war. Itis not one of conquest and sub-, ~ jection ; for after peace we should not know what todo with a conquered and subjected people. Itis nota war based upon prejudice, passion or revenge ; if so, it were unworthy of us and would deserve no support. It is not a war for changing any institutions of the seceded States ; for that would-be a revolution ‘on our part and not theirs. They have the right of local self-government and must retain it; and the peculiar institution of s'avery vould not be overthrown by arms without bringing ruin to the land. Itis not a war that looks at disunion as a result. We have been surprised to hear people say—“we'll whip them and let them go ;” “we will fight, but that fight must end the Union, for we shall never be on terms to live together again,” If disunion is an inevitable result, no man Gan justify bimeelf in the waste of blood or treasure in war ; nor would the different sections at the close of the war Been in so good a condition to arrange terms of separation, as they would have been without bloodshed. ~ The only grounds upon which we can justify civil war—so unnatural a war between twin States, between families of the same Vineage and blood, who have a éommon country, a common history, and the same language and religion—is on the ground of its necessity to sustain a government for the good of the whole, that is now threatened by the rebellion of a part. The object is not to overthrow, but to build up; not to destroy, but to restore ; sot to conquer the people of any State, but to relieve them from the domina tion of rebel chiefe. If the people deliber-ately and intelligently determined upon their action in the dozen States that are in rebellion, as. did our. fathers in the revolution, or if without that deliberation and intelligence, disunion had become a “fixed fact,” from which war could not rescue us, then we might hesitate. But so we believe it is not We believe that fanatical and ambitious lead. era counted upon the weakness of the central government, and upon the aversion of the North to sacrifice in war; and usurping power they precipitated secession. The people were net conwulted ; they were threatened, and terrified, and bowing themselves for the time aubmitied. It is to free the people from . sume her upright position: that, the Fed leat tnedimay States back untrammelléed to anchor. innign and fasten to the Verbetieve this can be do , Baltimore been Felieved of mrebs, amd Maryland swings back to her old place in the . line ; St. Louis was rescued from the grasp of s traitor Governor, and Missouri will reThe, legitlature. of Kentucky requires the troops to swear “allegiance to the national constitution.” Tennessee is.in.the secession net, but the nucleus of Union,men in that. State-is sufficiently strong to bring back’ to théir*senses the mis guided ones. In spite of all the bitterness which exists, and which the shedding of blood saturally stimulates, we yet believe that the people of the revolted States—we mean the masses, fie real people—could not fail to see the folly of their present course and return to the fold, could the matter be brought to them in its true light. We believe that the government is actuated by just motives. and that it will succeed, though not with a light struggle or a speedy vietory ; and this is the only ground—that they go as: deliverera of the people of the South, and the defenders not only of the National Constitution and of all their local intereste on which we could be right. If we admit that it is to,restore them to-anything less than that full and perfect condition in which they have heretofore been, as co-equal States and self-governing communities, then we should have no more justification for the shedding of one drop of human blood than has Jefferson Davis or Beauregard. GENERAL WooL.—The neglect of this experienced officer is exciting comment all over the country. What the influences are which actuate the Government in placing the direction of active operations in the hands of Militia Generals. whilst such men as Wool, Harney, and others of less note are left in the back ground, it would be edifying to’ know. The system of rewarding political services is one which may do in civil matters, but in military affairs it will bring ruin and disgrace on the nation. That it has been followed by the present administration is amply proved by the fact, that all the non-commissioned officers of the regular army, who had been momentarily promoted to Lieutenancies, have all been ordered back to the ranks to make room for civilians, the greatest portion of whom are not fit to be corporals. It is to be hoped that the army will be organized on a better footing, now that politicians have less to say on military matters. iy It is believed by military men in San Francisco that the first regiment ordered out te protect the-mail route wilt be called to the scene of war in the event of their services being received,.and that California will be called upon to furnish new regiments for the plains as fast as the troops in that service become efficient.for service against the seceded States.

WHISKY AS A PERFUME.—The Milwaukee Sentinel says: ‘‘ A jug of the celebrated Montreal malt whisky has been sent to this Office to be tested. As no one connected with the establishment imbibes whisky, we use it for perfume on our handkerchief.
