LET THE WAR CEASE

We have long been of the opinion that the war
which has been wsged with such ierceDess between
of the Democratic presses. and those support
ing favorable TO the administrator SHOULD CEASE.
We have considered that the good Of the party, the
great cause of Democracy requires that the toma-
hawk should be buried, and that IL was "bigh timen
the calumet should be passed around But the fact Of
having ourselves at one time struck fierce and bold
as one Of the most fiery 10 the ranks, has caused
as a matter Of decacy TO refrain from giving utter
ance to this opinion for some time after we had
formed it. We do not condemn this in its in
cep,lon and early course, but do think that the OBJ
jects in view at that time have been attained The
action of the Senate against those struck at, may
be considered as certain. We have sometimes bougl t
wa. se .,ugnoi cnsfy 10 The President himself
that they should have attributed more TO unin-
/ territorial error and less TO that which inten
,ional But, repeat, let the ,om We
shall need all our strength TO meet the common foe.
He is binding UP his loins and preparing for the
test while quarreIling among ourselves Strong
as he undoubtedly is, deep, designing, and governed
by cunning tactics, must present solid, perfect
] front or our resistance will be vain This contest
has been extended into the ranks OF true Democrats
by the unwise denunciation Of such men as Nelson,
Henshaw, Rantoul, Greene, &c, whose conduct has
been such as TO for them better things from the
mouths and pens OF true Democrats. Feeling, poll
CIV Justice demand that far al least as this class
| is concerned there should be truce. But we must
| not be mistaken If we see the same cause, the
same propriety of speaking out again we shall never
fail of or be recreant to duty, but shall express
our real sentiments, be they what they may. II the
Democrats Of the Senate do not their dp5ir-if the
Whig majority are recrcant to their professions LEI
them be put under the scourge but until the time
for such action comes, say, let there be peace"

RARE BrRp-We saw yesterday rare and beauti-
fu bird called the Bill Bird brought in the schooner
Roxana from the coast of St Bias, between Porto
Belio and Carthsgena. 1t is well denominsted, as
the bill is quite long as the body. The general
color OF the bill is deep green, elegantly touched with
red and blue The breast and under part Of the neck
are rich yellow color. These fine colors are in
elegant contrast, with deep blue legs, perfectly black
wings and especially with large black intellectual
eyes. Peaches, apples, bread or any soft fruit, seem
to constitute his fsgorits nourishment Bait Sun

Oaths and lmprecations, so common in America are
not heard here even among the Watermen, Cab-men,
Coal-bearers, or Scavengers The language Of blls-

came as part Of our education from the Mother
Country. Is it not reasonable to hope, therefore,
that among other English Fashions adopted BY
Americans, our people will forbear to minge
the name Of their Creator and Redeemer profanely

troversies?
We trust this hint TO his own countrymen may
not be lost 1t is thus followed up in the close of
the same letter, when, after describing Review in
