A late Centinel informs the public, that
" in the North [of Eurupe1 the affairs of the
Allies appeared to wear cheering aspect
And why, thiuSl We, F." Messrs. Warhawks? %
why, truly, because there was reason to ex.
pect that " the armistice would not be re-
newed" This puts us in mind of similar
remark which appeared in the same vehicle
OF religion, benevolence and peace, some ten
or twelve years ago. 1t was, as nigh as we
recollect, III the following words =" The
patriot should desire the continuance of the
war in Europe. as devoutly as the husband
man wouldpray for rain in a time ofdrought.'
And yet this very paper, with ITS satellites,
Is daily crying out against the complicated
evils OF war; It's expense, its denoralizing
tendency, its cruelty. Many OF them have
more than insinuated that every war which
IS not literally defensive, is impoii,ic and UNI
CONSTITUTIONAL! The invasion of Cana
da IS absolutely objectionable. Tie fall of
dozen or two of Englishnien who have been
plunderng our frontiers and robbing and
enslaylng our citizens upon the ocean, ava
keHs all their sympathies; while the de
siruction OF two or three hundred thoasand
trenchmen, is an event affordng matter for
thanksgiving and Teasing Such inconss-
tencies are too palpable to be mistaken, and
too unequivocaiIy indicative of depravity to
be excused.
