THE NAVY

Aye, the navy, our democrats contend
Is the god oftheir idolatry. We are led to
Speculate a little on this wonderful revolu-
ton in their opinions. How does it happen
IN the nature of things, that this establish
ment which they have exhausted language
to find opprobious epithetst for, becomes all
at once an object of their reverence? Why
do we hear nothing more of gun-boats, tor
Pedoes, and other sea monsters /? We will
explain this seeming phenomenon. Be it
known then that when war was first decla-
red against Britain, our wise rulers had no
more idea of success by the means of a ma
Wy, than they had of attacking England by
the means of balloons. Canada, Canada
was their object It was the burden of all
their songs and the theme of all their pane
gyricks. That country was ripe for revolt;
and the mere ceremony of declaring war
was to put us into complete possession. In
the mean time patriotic meetings were held
TO stimulate congress on to a declaration of
war, in which Canada was stOrmed and ia
ken and reduced to a colony by resolutions.
At length the happy and desirable moment
arriyed-war was declared, and what was
the consequence One army sent on this
victorious expedition was suffered to return
on parole. A detachment of another turn
ed hog drivers, and afterwards quietly re-
tarned into winter quarters. This intelli-
gencc came peal after peal on the ears of
administration, and every dispatch was
symptomatic of disgrace and defeat. What,
IN such an event was to be done ? Why it
was to call these unfortunate generals tories
and federalists in the first instance. And
II did so happen that every one of these ge-
nsEaiS Of Mr. Madison's appointment, was
a good democrat before defeat, and a tory
immediately afterwards. His success or.
miscarriage determined the character Of
his political principles in the eyes of our inn
macGi1te patriots. Administration were

PEXCE.

We understand that Dir. Pearson on Sa-
tarday, when the bill fer increasing the
army was under discussion, took an able
and lucid view Of our relations with Eng.
land as demonstrated by the correspon.
6ence OF the two nations prior and subse-
quent TO the declaration of war. In reply,
nr. Calhoun said ne was surprised to hear
any measure recommended which would
relax the exertions of governmental was
not the way to negotiate with that proud
high minded power. He was willing to
state, however, for the satisfaction OF the
gentleman, that the subject of peace had
been under debate in the cabinet for some
time. He would not pledge himself that
the measure would be adopted this session
but If it could be done, if the national
honor did not forbid it, negotiation would
be commenced before the end Of the ses-
sion.
Whether are arguments, showing from
passed events, the practicabitity of obtain
ing an honorable peace more likely to re-
lax the exertions of government and en-
bolden a proud and high minded power,
or the disclosure of a cabinet secret, that
at a given day an attempt at pacification
will be made ? The disclosure may be Ia
ken for as much as it is worth, but there
may be some disappointment, if it is ex-
pected the opposition to the war by the
peace party will be relaxed by it. They
may keep !" the word of promise to the
ear.o But such tricks are too often repeat
cd to take effect. When a third only OF
the thirty-fpe thousand regulars provided
- Iox, Ioro Loo-x .o..nJ Lnwn -
for raising twelve regiments more be made
a weapon of negotiation with a nation not
10 be frightened by scare crows-and when
in the very breath in which the law is ad-
vocated, it is confessed to be intended to
back negotiation.

1t is a fact, that in the arraageme n,

ment said was completely satisfactory,
there was nothing about the question
touching searDcn, which IS now the sole
object of the war.
It is a fact, that with E.rskine our ca
binet said the Orders in councils were
"the great matter in dispute" And
now Mr. Russell says their removal is
only a subject Of minor Importance"
