OF that cockfurkcv. pompous display OF tern
be things. for which John is proverbially ioni.
Yet. with this feeling Of security. we arr hap
py io find no disposition prevails TO entirely
neglect means Of defence which may, by some
unexpected event become necessary. 4 res
oluiion was recently introduced into the house
requiring from the secretary Of War state
ment Of tie works necessary in order 10 pu,
our \. T.. frontier and harbors IN state Of
de'ence-embracing land and naval prepara-
OF no war
But really, il England enieriains serious no
tons Of in,erchanging cold-lead compliments
with uacSc Sam, she IL preparing 10 make a
greater exhibition OF folly than ever was
chargeable TO her before, for five good rea-
sons :--First, she has tried her hand at this
game twice, and failed. Secondly, Her great
est hope of success is predica'ed upon the
supposiion ,ha, internal faction and party an
imosi,y will split and divide US at home; the
disaffec,ed she supposes will join Ter stan
dard. True, we have whatwe call torres, and
enough of them too, but we consider them
as Joseht-aad-paid-f for tories for the lime be-
ing or as tories Through ignorance, but fast
becoming enlightened. Neither roes,sel an
imosity or the slave question, or any other
question will break our unity Of purpose al
home England, therefore, is foolish in this
particular. Thirdly, Neighboring provinces,
now in subsection through fear will embrace
the proptious moment to revolt. Fourthy,
She has as much to do as she can attend to
already, in maintaining conflicts now begun,
and in keeping the yoke upon her own gfoan-
ing population. Lastly, Chrsiendom is now
decidedly Of opinion that aggressive war is
no longer justifable, and that nation of
murdercrs is unfit for honorable intercourse
and reciprocity of Christian fellowship. We
are perfectly satisfied that she cannot gain the
disputed possession if she tries and equally
well satisfied that she will loose both charac-
ter and territory, for what she has done, wh2lh-
er she tries or not. The best shift she can
make of the matter is, to search out some if or
dnd-some exienuating circumstance-to a
pologize for concession, as France did in
the indemnity affair, and back out of an in
glorious scrspe. For the first time, we will
venture to play the prophet Our prediction
is, that such a pretext will arise out Of the
geographical survey which is TO be made Of the
lands in dispute. She is now trying the eff,
fects of fear; and when it is discovered that
Jonathan only laughs good-humoredly at such
froics, she will conclude the game is not
worth the ammunition
