CAPE TOWN, Jun 1.
Great alarm had been spread at the Cape by a
telegram from the frontier, stating that there was
danger of a Kaffir war. On the frontier it was
even asserted that the paramount chief, Kreli, had
crossed the Bashee in force, and had come in col-
lision with the mounted police. Official telegrams,
from the Governor to the'Commander of the Forces,
required the latter to proceed to the frontier im-
mediately, with every available man in the garri-
son. Accordingly, the Commander of the Forces

ing so extensive a territory, with such varied resources and
such numerous facilities for defence as the benignant bounty
of nature has bestowed upon us, and animated with one
spirit to encounter every sacrifice of ease, of health, of pro-
perty, of life itself, rather than be degraded from the condi-
tion of free and independent States, into which they were
born, can never be conquered. Will not our adversaries
themselves begin to feel that humanity has bled long enough,
that tears and blood and treasure enough have been expended
in a bootless undertaking,covering their own land no less than
ours with a pall of mourning,and exposing them far more than
ourselves to, the catastrophe of financial exhaustion and
bankruptcy, not to speak of the loss of their liberties by the
despotism engendered in an aggressive warfare upon the
liberties of another and kindred people? Will they be
willing, by a longer perseverance in a wanton and hopeless
contest, to make this continent, which they so long boasted
to be the chosen abode of liberty and self-government, of
peace and a higher civilisation, the theatre of the most
causeless and prodigal effusion of blood which the world
has ever seen, of a virtual relapse into the barbarism of the
ruder ages, and of the destruction of constitutional freedom
by the lawlessness of usurped power?
These are questions which our adversaries will decide for
themselves. Wo desire to stand acquitted before the tri-
bunal of the world, as well as in the eyes of Omniscient
Justice, of any responsibility for the origin or prolongation
of a war as contrary to the spirit of the age as to the tra-
ditions and acknowledged principles of the political system
of Amer:ca.
On this continent, whatever opinions may have prevailed
elsewhere, it has ever been held and acknowledged by all
parties that government, to be lawful, must be founded on
the consent of the governed. Wee were forced to dissolve
our Federal connection with our former associates by their
aggressions on the fundamental principles of our compact
of union with them ; and in doing so we exercised a right
consecrated in the great charter of American liberty—the
right of a free people, when a Government proves destruc-
