THE de facto question, in America, has been rcfcnec1 at last to the dread arbitrament of civil war. Time and. events must determine whether the" great Republic" is to disappear from the roll of nations, or whether it is destined to survive the storm which has gathered over its head. There is, perhaps, a readiness in' England to prejudge the case; a disposition not to exult in OUl' downfall, but to accept the fact; for nations, as well as individuals, may often be addressed in the pathetic language of the poet,- cc Donee eris felix, muItos numerabis arnicos, Tempora. cum fuerint nubila, nnUus edt." Yet the trial by the ordenl of battlc h~s banlly commenced, and it would be presumptuous to affect to penetrate the veil of even the immediate future. • TIut the question de jw'c is a lEfferent one. The right and the wrong bclon~ to the past, are hid.d.en by no veil, and may easily be read by all who are not wilf
