The New York I" Express lin controversy
with one Of its contemporaries, who says he is in
favor Of peace, with Great Brittany but I" it must
be an honorable peace " most conclusively- am
swers him by putting the plainest possible question,
as follows And, pray, Mr.. Editor, what is there
+" more dishonorable IL, the peace which erists be-
2 ticeen as and Great Britain, at The present time,
/" and which you are zealously endeavoring to dis
!" turb and break up, than that Which has erisfed
!" for thirty gears past? The same relations are
I" maintained, the same business intercourse kept
sup, much to the profit of both What then is
!" the difficulty - The Express then points
out the difficulty plainly and pontedly as it puts
questions justly attributing the spirit which
has been lately attempted to be raised to persons
who have direct personal interest in keeping the
country in ferment. Not that all those who yield
to the excitement and join in the clamor are in
teresed in Texas bonds or Oregon land specula-
tons; but that this camor, which some very worthy
people have suffered themselves to be seduced to
Join in, had its origin in considerations not in any
way seriously affecting either the national honor or
interest.
If there be no possibly sufficient reason or COM
mon sense in reference to the interests of the ma
ton, why the existing peace between the United
States and Great Britain shall be disturbed, what
reproach ought not to overtake those who are labor
ing, apparently with all their might, to bring about
such a state Of things!

of Texas, is well understood by our readers. 1t is

new election having been ordered, Mr.. HALE has
taken the field as independent candidate, and is
engaged in addressing large assemblies Of the people
in different parts of the State. He recently visited
Concord, where he was met in open discussion by
Hon. FRANKLIN PIERCE, one of the ablest cham
pions of "the Democracy" The encounter is de-
scrbed as exceedingly rich, and Mr. HALE is said
to have shown up, in mastery manner, the sub
serviency and hypocrisy Of the demagogues who
have undertaken to read him outof the party. The
editor Of the Patriot was present, and greatly
annoyed by the reading Of certain passages from his
paper which exhibited him before the audience in
no very enviable light. The Editor interrupted Mr..
Hale while reading the extracts, asking him to read
the whole article. Mr.. HALE declined on account
offs length. "Then read the cream of it, said

Below ME smiles a valley fair,
Where winds a clear and %silvery stream,
And dwellings spring upevery where,
Like the creatures OF dream.
While giant hills majestic stand
The guardians oi this iuiry land.
Far on the right, Ohio pours
Her clear and shining wavcsalong,
And sings to her romantic shores
a wild, and cv~er-murmuring song;
Zen as u mother to her child,
Carols her numbers sweet and mild.
Where yonder Islands emerald bower
In the pale light is quivering,
The evening breeze to every flower
His tale oflovc is whispering.
And now her gentle song is heard,
Sweet as the warblings OF "a bird.
Where now the wing OF huslid rcposc
Broods over hill and llowcry dell,
Upon the cCiIOiilB WINDS arose
The savage Indians startling yell
When from the wildand rugged steep,

Then refining in his fiery steed-
He plungd two hundred feet below

Nor pauses till his noble steed,

And there rccounts his gfalrt leap
