PRIME TINES OF PEAcE-After all the speaking
writing, and talking in places high and ow-after
dozen panics and dozen relapses into Indifference
(says the Philadelphia North American,) the truth
seems at last to be fairly coming out that we have
cause for war with any nation, and that we shall
have no This is very consolatory and en-
couraging We have all along differed from certain
respected authorities regarding the probability Of
this country becoming party TO grand game Of
shattering limbs, piercing bodies, cutting throats,
and breaking hearts. 1t really seems that we have
not overraed the sense and morals of the Govern
ment and the people. There are means of settling
national differences without resorting to bloodshed
even in the view Of those whose first impulse was
apparently to fight about every thing and nothing.
Mexico is too weak and England too wise to quar-
rel. It is comfortable to think that we shall get
through the dog-days with no hotter work than the
weather may make. ~ HF s,'
