It is

easier to break down than to build up, it is easier
to weaken than to strengthen credit, and Senator
SUMNER in two hours managed to produce a fall as

great as was the rise which followed GRANT'S dee-

tion. That speech was merely intended to help
the desire for a union with Canada, and as such it

was Wholly unnecessary, being only calculated

to defeat the object by the bitterness it creates,
and by generating the belief in England that
the Republic intends aggression, which England
must stand prepared to repel. The train being
thus hid, an accident might precipitate the
explosion; or either of the nations, taking a false
step, may find itself in a position from which it can-
)not retreat with honour. Thus though the United

States does not intend war, and will be surprised at
the attitude assumed by 'England, that speech,
backed by some unfortunate contretemps, might
cause war; and the Times, believing in American
hostility, considers it fAir to dam age to the utmost
American credit in Europe. One of its cards, by
the way, was Mr. GOLDWIN letter to the
Beehive, a production written from Senator Sol-
NEIL'S town, with earnest voices sounding in his Eng-
lish ears praising that eloquent exposition of Atne-
rica's wrongs, and. denouncing .English " cussed-
ness.'"fhe effect is not calculated to make a man
write in the coolest temper, and he naturally ex-
aggerates the importance of what grates so hare,ly
on his tympanum. But this letter aids in preventing
English emigration to the States, so hateful to some,
and it therefore gets an undue importance and the
widest circulation.--A nglo-American Times.
