MR. BUCHANAN ON THE DIFFICULTY BE-
TWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA.

Mr. Buchanan, says the New York Daily Times,
has just experienced an enthusiastic reception in Phila-
delphia. In his reply to the coneratulatory welcome ten-
dered to him at the Merchants Exchange, he said :—" I have
been abroad in trying timee—it is true ; but the great prin-
ciples which have guided my conduct abroad, are these:
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all unions,
entangling alliances with none. Ask for nothing that is
not closely tight in our intercourse with foreign nations,
sad submit to nothing which is wrong. The.. are the two
loading maxims of the gnat poldical apostles of our coun
try, and, as long as we act upon such great and glorious
priciaiplee, we are sure always to be in the right..
(Applause.) Gentlemen, it is hardly proper for me to
speak of tie diplomatic busies's in which I have bees
engaged on the other sip• of the Atlantic; but I have been
asked, repeatedly—is there danger of war 7 I think lot.
But it is simply became I believe our tonally to be so
clearly and decidedly in the right on the questions involved
between the two counting, that the British people never
will consent to irritate them into a dangerous condition for
both parties. Our commerce new covers every ocean; our
mercantile marine is the lartint in the world. We have the
greatest interest of any nation on earth in preserving peen.
We ought to cultivate peace with ell nation,. But there is
en interest superior to all these considerations, and that is
our national honour. if war should ensue—l feel, how-
ever, no apprehension of danger at the present 'torment—
if the national honour of this people should ever be in-
sulted by any government upon the face of the earth—
' I know that the merchants thenaselvee, who would
have the greatest sacrifices to male, would stand by
the country at the ezpenee of everything human. (Ezpres-
'ions of approbation.) I can perceive no danger. I ought
to say, gentlemen, that I have honestly maintained the in-
struction received hominy country in the negotiation whisk
I have had with Englend, end while I have hesitated
boldly, but courteously, to tiptoe my opinions, I have
never found anything but personal kindness in my inter-
course with the Britieh people. (Approbation.) Ido not
believe that any American can ingratiate himself into the
gaol opinions of any people in Europe by concealing his
honest sentiments upon all proper occasion•. I have send
upon that irinciple, and I have no reason to repent it."
