THE TROUBLES OF THE GREAT REPUBLIC, Mr. Line: . —¥ {From the London Times, March 19.) id aud impetuous is the march of events in the United States, so quickly does one scene succeed er in the great political drama, that pews becomes of secondary interest ost before it is known, Every one has been locking forward with breathless interest for the Presi. dent's inaugural speech. The electric taegrenh fur- nished us an abridgment of it yesterday morning; to day We ase enabled to give it at fuil length, but accompanted with inteligence which is quite a important as itself. ‘The speech tukes up grounds strictly constitutional. In it the President conines and intrencbes himself bebind ‘he express powers which the constitution has given again any other. He is capaole fancy, but cannot emancipate om the shackles of a merely legal mind. He looks ipto bis bond, acd he finds there that hi @ is bound’ to oxe- Cute the Jaw in all parts of the Union, and to preserve the federa) property, and he intends to execute the law and preserve the fecerat property accordingly. What the con sequence ef performing these acts may be it is not for bim to consider, lis buswess is to execute the law; let those who mage the law answer for the rest. Mr. Buebanap took inuch the same view of his fanc- ticks, but he extraeted from that view the inference that be was bound to donething; while Mr. Lincoln considers ‘hat he is bound to do exactly the thing which is sure to produce the war which he conceives it to bo beyond bis power to deciar ja it hig discretion alone which the President belie ¢ c'reumseribed by the consti- tution. Not only seca to conceive himseif pre- vented from doing anything beyond its strict precepta, he dors not feel that he ts allowed to know of anythmg uncer stitutions). He knows that his fellow countrymen are diseatisicd, but he is forbidden to know that sovert There is a Presidential ag well aa a judicial knowledge, and, ae courte of law are not allowed to know many things which are perfectly mo- jous to the reet of the world, so it is with Treaideate, part of whese duty it is to Lave purer eyes than to be bold anything that tavors of rebellion. We see ths: tha way of locking at the quession fads fsvér in the eyes of thg purely republican journale, while the South pears 10 consider it, as far as we can judge from their organs in New’ York, ag the ifinging down the glove, which it w }coutate @ moment to take up. Had Mr, Lincoln bern | «- leat at the time the secessi in. was fist threatened, un «say on the constitution and a wores of frieudly persuasion might have been an apmrepriaye way of dealing with the sabjest. But it is ildish as well as dangerous thus studiously to ignore the cage, and to seex by constitutional reasonings fo influence men who have placed themselves out of the pale of iMe constitution altogether. There is no safer maxim in bu- man affairs than carefully to examine one’s own position aud that of one’s antagonist before arnouncing any rego. Jution, and to base that resolution on actual and real, not oD imaginaty ¢r conventional considerations. With the real state cf America the federal comstitution has, most unjortunately, very little to do. The President might almost well go back to the social contracts of Rou: . The question is not judicial, put po!itical—not one of laws and powers, but of reason and expediency, We believe that, instead of ign ring the secession of the South and determining weat it as mm avenu, the President ought to recognise it as a vwality. We do not 4 that he ought to recognise the right to se- cede, which clearly does not exist, any more than the Tight to rc bel against the Englian crown claimed by the Amer‘can colopies. existed 5 @ part of tho Eaglish con- stitution. We do noteay that the President is bound to trCat us legal the confederacy which bas rizen up in op- porition to his own, bat what wo maintain is, that as a Wise MoD, & patriot'c magistrate and a good citizen, he is rendering an evil service to has country if he does not deal with things as they are, instead of as they ought to be. When civil war {2 as irumin¢ntas it appears to be at this moment in America, it ts well to admit the only possible #iternative, that of bearing what terms the South is pre- pared to propoee, in orcer to avert so dreadful a calami- ty. Tho last alternative always remains, and tho fratri- clea) sword will not have lost its edge by remaining in the sheath o few weeks longer. But the course adopted, fair as St may sound, !eavez no hope or possibility of re- conciliation. The Seuth canpot be heard, becauge it m ist not be rec gniged; and acts which must Jead to civil. war are to be done rather than admit that things which ren- er civil war possible have actually oceurred. © ® How futile all attempte at reconcitiation have been is now apparent.

The New American Tariff, [From the London Times, Mareh 18.) . The Americsn tariff is a topic much discussed among commercial men at Newcastle. No complete copy of it, as amended by the Senate, bag come to hand, but its purport is tolerably well understood. The chemical trade, the ma- nufacture of alkali in especial, will suffer the most oa the Tyne. A very large quantity of alkali made on the Tyne hus been exported to the United States. It has been sent by steamer to London, and thence transhipped on board regular traders ior New York. The duty to be levied on chemicals under the new tarit! will be equal to the price of the articles here, and will be very near, if not abso- lutely, probibitory. The duty on coals heretofore has been an ad valorem one of about 25 per cent, or about 1s. Sd. per ton on ordinary gas coal It is in future to be a dollar per ton, which will raise the price of the Tyne and Wear gas coal to about Tig. per ton clear of freight. This is about prohibitory. ‘\s all goods shtpped befcre April 15 will be charged at ‘the old rates the freight market for New York i3 show- ing more activity than at any time cince the misunder- standing between the North and South; but after that date it is feared that it will entirely collapse. As the Jarger portion of the coals and goods éent from this part of the country went out in American bottoms the ship- owners of New York and the Northern States will be severe lovers. It seems that the coal shippers of Liverpool will not suffer in any degree by the new tariff. The cannel coal of Lancashire, the price of which in the Meraoy is 162. to 12s. per ton, hag hitherto, under the old tariff, cost 13s, to 15s. per ton, free of freight; and it will not be any higher under the new tariff, as the specific duty of a dol- lar will about batance the charge of 25 per cent. [From the London News, Murch 18 } We bave referred to a few of the more encouraging features which have arisen during the list few days. Oa the adverse side there is probably no event which has attracted 20 much regretful attention as the adoption by the Northern American Union of the Morrill tar! It seems really astonishing that, at a time when the preju- dices of France are being trresietibly worn away, when Russia ig entering upon a path of free commercial -de- velopement, when Spain it awakenieg from the torpor of 9, and when regions—like Japan and China—hitherto scaled up, ase being Shened to mercantile enterprise, America, Whose boast it bas been tha’ she is the pioneer of enlightened improvement, falls back upon a policy of restriction snd illiberality such as one would imagine to be a relic of the past century, Whon we ee how completely American legislation ap- pears to be based upon mere local or personal motives; when we mark the indecent haste with which, the moment the restraining presence of the repre- sentatives of the Southern States is reznoved, the North- ern protectioniets rush in selfishly with a programme framed in their own interest, and certain to widen the ircach between the dispwing sections of the nasion, the weant of patriotic freitng which they beiray Leconves realty lamentable. Their conduct tends to justify the bitterly regretful remark, uttered before bow by American lips, that ‘there are no statesmen in Ainvrica,” none who are capable of forgetting faction and joterests in the grand cauge of the country at large. Jt is disgraceful in the present crisi« of American alfiirs for these narrow pcliticians to be driving in the wedge of disunion with might and main, for the cflect of tuc now sca] legisiatian must inevitably be to render a recoreitiation between the North eud South impossible. The enactment of the Morrill tariff, the moment the @outhern representatives had withdrawn, is a sel- fish deflance cast by the North at the South. President Buchanan is a Pennsylvania man, and, it is suid, bas been willipg to curry favor with his native iron interest, even atihe cet of hiecountry. It is ne if the new tariff were only moderetely restrictive; it is, in many respects, practica)'y prohibstory. What else can be the etfuct of reie'ne the duty on foreign iron from six to sixteen dol- re ton insome instances, and fro.n seven to fifteon do!- hess comers’ But, besides being moat oppressive, the bew regulations are vexatious and impracticable in the extreme. They seem to have been, aud probably were, fremed with a view to keep out foreign products. We iknow of ‘old hew damaging a policy of ‘this kind alwaye proves in the long run, and to none #0 much as to the na- tion which endeavors to exempt itself from the healthful innuence of foreign competition. But we shall sulfer also. ur trade will be diverted from America into other cutlets. We have very ttle faith in the developement of the emuggiing system which one of our cotemporaries appears to conteraplate with so much interest. We have never heard of a large, remunerative, or really valuable trade betng carried on through the agency of * despera- dors’? of this claes, One of the most discouraging features is that, as the Congress which enacted the new tarilf con. tituticnally expired on the 4th inet., there appears to be to hope of the obnoxious legislation being revoked or even amended until next session, which will not com- mence until December. There is thus ground to fear that ovr trade with America will retain the one sided chorecter lately acquired by it, for even if that country declines to take our commodities wpon the former terms of free interchange, we shall still continue to take her cotton, breadstufls and provisions, as long as ehe supplies them more cheaply than we can get them elsewhere, [From the Lonton Globe, March 20 } It canpot but be admited that the harrying into law, inthe abserce of the Southern members, of a crude, sectional sud selésh measure 'ike the Morrill Tariff bill, goes far to Justify any pew revival of the oli ‘ nullifea- tion’ doctrinc— ecabdal in its first anpouncement—but asuccess.
