a writer in the Chronicle, as if hurt at

to ** belittle' 1 it in the eyes of the world, has
infir.uated that the increase announced, de

exportation of the resources of our country

scribbler, would be infu’ting to good sense
of Americans. They know, from fatal
experience, that had they been dragged in
to War, instead of an encreafe, their every
lource of wealth,would havcdimini(hed,and
many have been annihilated. And they
feel, from their present political situation,
their astonishing increase. They know too,
that it is the policy and interest of the U

European powers, who are impoverishing
each other, in absurd and ridiculous con-
