81 opoly, but by holding II in that state OF
security, which the Just relations Of supply
i and demand will always in the long run,
establish and sustain IN the trade Of
great and civilized country.
| That no time may be lost, We beg leave
: to appfise you that an agent, having our.
confidence, VIII leave thls shortly for Eu-
rope, clothed with ample instructions, TO
make such preliminary arrangements with
the houses in Liverpool and Hayre, which
may, BY the sanction Of the convention,
IhaYe the proposed consignments.
Weare aware of the very potent oppo-
.sition, which a plan looking even 70 self
defence, must invite both at home and
abroad, as It runs counler 10 a variety Of
Interests too powerful and TOO susceptible
of combination, mott be aroused INTO ac-
tive and perhaps inexorable hostility. If
eur apology is. not to be found in the plea,
that we have a right to hold our own prop.
eIty blythe means Of the credit of our
own country, then ne fearlessly say, we
mean at least TO attempt it, in despite of
any opposition however eager and impla-
cable.
We have seen in the-face Of crop of
1,35O.000 bales, an effort made, and very
nearly resulting in success, to coerce the
acceptance Of the same prices. which were
incident to one. of 100000 bales. We
ought Motto rest. our security Oh the sd-
verse onens of the crop, which Is now
growing under the viii and dispensation of
Providence, which has already suffered in
many quarters from an intense drought,
and lnothcrs from the Tavages ofthe in
sects so destructive TO It's growth and ma
turlty. We should look beyond the era
of the short supply of the last year, and
an apprehended deficit during the coming
season. The lessons of economical Wis
dom belong 10 all seasons, and ali times,
and there is a salutary truth in the. hoInely
aphonsm, that those who do notstake care
of themselves, are not likely to be taken
care of by others. We therefore submit
this call and invitation 10 you, with The
earnest hope, that you Will be prepared to
cooperate With us in a measure, in which
We believe the highest interests of eur
common country are involved.
We remain, very respectfully,
Your ob't. serv'ts.

WAR.-The Baltimore Sun says, there
is certainly not such another country in the
world for WARS as ours. We have Ind,
besides our great war of Independence,
and the war of 1872, a whiskey war, an
oyster war, a timber war, negro war.
Mormon war, Indian wars innumbler,
railroad and canal wars without number,
and last, though nlayhap, not least, there is
now raging at Cape Cod and all along the
shore, a most fierce and unrelenting war,
for the rightsto gather cranberries in the
bogs in that vicinity. How this win be
settled, time, the great disposere of events,
alone can determine. Added TO this, the
whole country is in a continual, eternal and
never ending war of words about religion.
politics, and every thing else which can
give excitement 70 the mind of man. We
think we are rar-ranted in saying that we
are essentially a nation Of scaf-riors.
