WILL THERE BE WAR;


I, appeats to be conceded on all
h.nds. ,ba, unless the British troops are
withdrawn from the Canadian frontier,
that a war between England and this
country, is inevitable. For ourselves,
wo say let it come. Every thing that a
Just, wise, and pacific administration
can do 10 prevent tho issue, has been
done by our Government. The Pres
ident has exhausted all pacific meas
ures. and the friendly Intentions on his
part, have been met with treachery, in-
;fipue, and duplicty on the part Of Eng
land. The territory disputed has been
occupied with armed men contrary 10
express agreements; the implements and
munitions Of war, have been secretly
collected and prepared, masked batter.
les have been erected and negotiations
with the Indians of the North Eastern
frontier attempted, TO arouse them TO
deeds Of blood, and all steps to saDguin
ary contest coolly and deliberately ta-
ken. Is /, expected that the American
people will quietly look on, without an
effort ct preparation for resistance J ls
il supposed that the General Govern
meni is so blind, to the designs OF the
Bri,isA, as 10 suffer these fragrant man~
ifes,a,ions Of hostile designs TO pass

and national pride-ths delusion will
soon be dispelled.

sured of the fact, that should war oc'

aran will again take the field as the

with desire To vndicate the honor o.
his country, and to humble again th'

In such contest, and with such lead

months will not elapse from the striking
OF the first blow, before Canada will be
occupied by American Soldiers. 1ht

10 the Secretary of War, that the Brit
ish havs 1000 regular troops in Can
ada, and that they are at work strength

Olation efan honor, and a breach 0
the spirit ofihe agreement entered into
We see not how war is to be aVoide,
ifthese things are persisted in. and lha
they will, every movement on the cthe
side of,hs line fully proves. WellIng

the United States, in order TO Plac
himself once more at the head Of affair
and he Is in fair way Of succeeding.
