ENGLAND Us. THE U. STATES.

Since the Independence of the United
States was achieved, there never has been
more just and ample grounds for collision
with England than at the present moment.
There are numerous causes of dissension,
each OF which, if not adjusted, is sufficient
70 justify an appeal to arms for redress.
But the iorbearanoe Of the American Re-
public is unparalleled in the history OF ma
tons. For nearly ten years, previous 10
the last war, the British were in the almost
constant practice Of boarding American
vessels and impressing their seamen. Even
as early as 1904, British man of war en-
tered an American port, boarded an Amer
lean vessel and actually carried off several
OF her crew and passengers to send aboard
OF British war vessels. This unjust and
Britain was followed up, until forced to re-
linqu the right of search by the treaty
OF Client. For the last FIVE years, the
British have pursued course no less GEN.
surable than that adopted by her previous
to the war OF 1919. Under the false pre-
tence Of suppressing the foreign slave trade,
she has fired upon, boarded and searched
American vessels, abused and insulted their
crews land officers, and in fine, has exer-
ercised the full right OF search, against
which, every nation cannot but protest,
that has the least regard for national honor
or faith. They have not only boarded A.
merican vessels on the coast Of Africa, but
even on the broad ocean, on the Pacific
coast, and indeed in almost all parts of the
globe, where superiority of force rendered
it safe, have they offered every indignity
to the American Flag, and that too, 10 the
very face and eyes OF the treaty Of Amity
and friendship existing between the two
countries. The searching Of American
vessels is not, however, the only cause Of
complaint against England.
The unjust and arbitrary seizure OF a
part Of the State Of Maine for the purpos-
es Of military roads and Notifications, sff.
ords no small cause fer contention, as they
might as well claim Vermont or N. York.
As late as August, 1914, the British Gov

"THE VOLUNTEER.n

EarrisOn's Specific Ointment.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost
tion-especialy in the Northern States--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor for it has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for e1ternal complaints that has ever been discov
cred. Indeed the speed and certainty of its Oper-
ations have the appearance of miracles as ulcers,
wounds, corns, fever sores, chiblains, white swell
hngs, biles, piles, spider and snake bites &c
Immediately yield TO its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an inveerae, corn or break and heal bile in five
days, will aay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks and the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
by it in less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
and even in the bite Of rabid cog, for if applied
in time its powers of attraction are so wonderful
that they will at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from Pervading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore
discovered Tor the chafed backs and limbs of horses
for letters, ring worms, chapped Ips,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
TO the lot of man or beast
The proprietor has received at least thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
Specific Ointment" upwards hundred Of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ical Faculty and in selecting from this pile the
following samples, he was governed more by their
brevtv than their contents as they all breath the
same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.

regard to your pills am firmly persuaded that

StagnatioEa Of the Blood.

The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality OF
the blood, give occasion for the most fatal and ma
Ggnant disorders. The blood from state of health
becomes stagnant and is plunged into state OF
corruption.
Thus it loses its purity its circulation is impe-
ded; the channels Of life clogged; e boscels be-
come costiCe and if not an immediate attack of
some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss OF
appetite, and general debility of the whole frame
are sure to follow.
1t requires the tempest and the tornado to bring
about state of purity in the ocean. when It's wa
tiers become stagnant; and it will require repeat
ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before
the blood can be relieved of its accumulated i'm
purity.
BrandretHS Vegetable Universal Pills,
should be taken, then there will be no danger; be-
cause they purge from the stomach and bowels
these humors which are the cause of stagnation,
cleanse the blood from all impurities, every
cause of pain or lceakneSS, and preSerce the cOnS
tuition in state of HEALTH and vIGOR that causual
changes cannot effect.

1he trustees OF this institution, have the
pleasure of announcing 10 the public, and par
ticularly to the friends of education, that they
have engaged IRA B. NEWMAN, as Superinten-
dent and Principal of their Academy.
The Trustees invite the attention of parents
and guardians, who have children to send from
home, to this Institution. They are fitting up
the building in the first style, and its location
from its retired nature is peculiarly favorable
for boarding school. 1t commands beauti-
full view of the Delaware river near which it
is situated, and the surrounding scenery such
as the lover of nature will admire-it is easily
accessible the Easton and Milford Stages pass
it daily, and only miles distant from the latter
place, and more salubriOus section of coun-
try can nowhere be found. No fears need be
entertained that pupils will contract pernicious
habits, or be seduced into vicious company---it
is removed from all places of resort and those
inducements to neglect their studies that are
furnished in large towns and villages.
Board can be obtained very low and near the
Academy. Mr.. Daniel w. Dingman, jr. will
take several boarders, his house is very conve-
nient, and students will there be under the i'm
mediate care of the Principal, whose reputa-
ton, department and guardianship over his pu-
conduct, that the Trustees can give or parents
and guardians demand.
The course Of instruction will be thorough
adapted TO the age of the pupil and the time
he designs to spend in literary pursuits. Young
men may qualify themselves for entering upon
the study of the learned professions or for an
advanced stand at College for mercantile pur-
suits, for teaching or the business of common
