WAR WITH ENGLAND.

The recent tone of the English Parliament and
to the consequences of war with England. The
Wing press whine at the prospect as if we wero
already beaten, and Oregon, the cause of conten-
ton, wrested from The journals in the COM
mercal interest dwell doorously upon the sacrif-
ces the Wings will in such an event have to make,
generously claiming to represent the whole wealth
Of the country, as they most certainly do all its
pusillanimity. The " mob'' a New York cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette styles the
Democratic party, "HAvE NorHrNs To LosE"!-
Yet this same wealthy scofer at the poverty of
the farmers, mechanics, and laborers who consti-
tute the - mob" of Democracy will be found if
difficulty comes, shrinking behind them and lcav-
ing them to brave the danger, defend him, and
protect his wealth. They, who have lives to lose
and who expect to risk them, will never urge war;
which perils what is dearer than wealth can be,
without it is necessary to the defence and main-
tenunce Of national honor.
But we will have no war. We have nothing to
fear from foreign bullying and foreign clamor.-

The Maine Boundary was at that time the topic.
Then, as now, the English Press was breathing
war and destruction. Our own journals were
equally valorous; the Wing portion, however,
occasionally reminding the people of the terrible
evils which follow in the train of war, "especal-

From the N. o. pieayune of the Soth uh.
LATE FROM TEXAS.

The steamship New York arrived here
yesterday morning from Galveston, whence
she sailed ON The 18th inst. We have re-
ceived our files to the morning Of her day
of departure. The intelligence is but few
days later than we received by The McKim
last Thursday night. As usual, the papers
are almost exclusively occupied with the
discussion ofth Annexation question. We
have no occasion 10 change the oplnions
we have already expressed in regard 10 the
feelings of the inhabitants of The country on
this great subject They are more nearly
unanimous than could have been expected
on a question so momentous, and upon the
decision of which European influence has
been so strongly and pcrseveringly brought
to bear against tke interests Of the United
States The people of Texas are determi-
ned upon Annexation. Through their pub
lie meetings and the press, they express
themselves with an enthusiasm which can
not, we are persuaded, be borne down.
Those who are openly or covertly opposed
to the measure, express themselves in the
most guarded and qualified terms, indicating
their real convictions that it must be carried
into effect, however they may, from any mo.
tive, be hostile to it. They deprecate any
liasly action, and call for calm and deli
berate consideration of the great issues in
voIyed; but they do so in tone which re-
assures US as TO the sentiments of the great
bcdy of the people, which will ultimately
settle The question in the right way, in spite
of the machnations of foreign diplomatists.
The "Ciyilian and Galveston Gazette"
which has been ayowealy opposed TO Annex
alton, comes out in the last number before
US with very significant article. 1t does
not hesitate TO avow its preference for lnde-
pendonce, but it would at the least appear
to intimate the opinion that if Annexation
be defeated, it will be by the United States
Senate (Of course we have no fears of
ths.) The editor further declares that the
last time he saw the President, which was
previous 10 his election, he expressed him
self in favor of the Union.
Public meetings were held all over the
country, so far as heard from, TO take the
question into consideration. 1t is unnecessa-
ry to copy the resolutions passed. They
breathe but one sentiment, so far as we
have been able TO discover, and that is as
we have represented it.

dictory remurks Of the late Editor, H. 8. KNAPP,
ESQ. His readers will bear him testimony that he
asserts not too much in stating that he has spoken
freely and independently he has proved a
faithful sentinel in the advance guard of Demo-

the people of tho North West, that they will
appreciate and sustain independence of charac-

LAWYERS AND PREAcHERs.-On citizens last Sun
day had the pleasure of listening to two able Ser
mons from members OF. the legal profession. One
was delivered at the Court House in the morning
by w ALTER S. ROSE, Esq, minister of the Bap-
tist Church, of Lima, Allen County; and in the
evening the Hon. PATRICK G. Coon, President
Judge of the circuit, delivered discourse in the
Methodist Church. Both had large and attentive
audiences, attracted, doubtless, by this novel
direction Of legal ability.

BANKs.-The Wings are quoting universally a
passage from M. Theirs History of the Consulate
and Empire, stating that Napoleon in bringing
order out of chaos found it necessary to establish
Bank of discount. We do not see the force
derived to Banking in this country from the acts
of one of the most unscrupulous desPots the
world ever knew-one most remarkable for the
variety of his schemes to raise money right or
wrong. Further we believe, since the failure OF
the assgnats as currency, the French Banks
have never ISSUED bills of less denomination
than one hundred francs, about $1,000. Do our
Wing friends wish to initiate their prudence in
this particular.

WING TAxAT1oN.-Let it be remembered
that in reference to the tax law, the Ohio
State Journal used this language:
"The bill taxing merchants capital ac-
tually employed, money at interest, and
other property which has usually escaped
taxation to great extent, cannot FAIL OF
MEETING GENERAL ACCEPTANCE!'
Already he begins to talk in this wise:
"The Journal has not pretended that the
new law is Just what it should be; nor is il
now disposed to approve of it Sin its length
and breadth, as it ISL" 1t is temporary
measure, and SO considered, by those who
framed and those who adopted it"
A friend in Charloe says that by this law,
after having paid his tax upon his stock Of
goods last year, he is now required 10 swear
to the whole amount sold and unpaid for
during that period, and thus pay taxes
a second time on the same goods, besides
his stock on hand. This he refuses So
much for the beauties Of Wing legislation.

THE Mission TO ENGLAND-The Was

been offered to Mr.. PIcKENs of South Caro-

on the subject. We have not yet heard of
Mr.. PIcKENs's acceptance, but know of no
reason likely to induce him to refuse

TAVERN L1cESsEs.-We learn from ou'
exchanges that the County Courts OF Cler-
mont, Warren, Columbia and Delaware coun-
ties have declined TO grant licenses 20 sell
liquors in their respective counties. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this is the most eff
fectuaI mode of checking the evils of lntem-
perance. On this subject experience will
prove the best teacher.

LATEST EUROPEAN NEws.--The arrival of
the Hibernia brings English news 10 the

citement upon the Oregon question has
given place 10 another founded upon pro-
posed grant of $l30,oOO to the Roman

veral of the English Bishops were expected
10 oppose it, and fierce denunciations of the
ministry at public meetings were quite fire.

made, and as Maynooth is College wholly

object of the Peel Ministry in risking po-

PENNsYLvANIA.--.Ihe State fnancers of
Pennsylvania appear to be about trying an
other experiment in the way of paying old
debts by creating new. The promptness
and fidelity with which the February install
ment of interest, upon her public debt was
met, greatly raised the. credit of the State,
and served in a measure, 10 wipe off the
stain of reputation, which was attached to
her. 1t appears now, however, that the pay
ment of interest falling due on the first of
August, will not be met by each payment
direct, but that species of relief currency,
in the shape of engraved checks on the Bank
of Pennsylvania, are TO be used. These
may seem to raise sufficient funds TO meet
the payment of interest to the bond holders,
but will not lessen the indebtedness of the
State. 1t is expected, however, that there
will be Sill plus in the Treasury, applicable
TO the payment of the interest, so that these
checks, if they pass into circulation, will be
at par, or nearly so

REPEAL IN BALrIMoRE.-The Repeal As
sociation in Baltimore was formally dlssol-
we'd on Wednesday evening last, and the
funds on hand transferred to the Hibernian
Society. The late speech Of Mr.. O'Con-
nell produced this measure; and we hope
that the example will be followed through
out fhe United States.
The president of the association had recei-
we'd an authentic copy of the speech OF
Dlniel O'Connell, recently delivered in Dub
lin before the Irish National Repeal Associa-
ton, in which he administered much abuse
10 this country, offered the British Govern
ment, g for consideration" The aid of the
Irish people in a war against this country,
should it occur on account of Oregon or
Texas, so that the American eagle should be
bro't down from his proud height, &c.-all
which has been made familiar TO the public
by the newspapers. -

deliberation, prepared preamble and resolu-

Extra SEssIoN.-The Washington Daily
Union of Monday, thus settles this question:
=" Some of the newspapers and letter writ
ers in Washington have alluded TO an extra
session of Congress. 1t has been said, that
this proposition was discussed in the cabinet
one day last week, (Monday, we believe. }
AS such annunca,ions are calculated to
produce an undue impression on the public
mind, and to display degree of excite
ment on the part of cabinet, which does not
exists, we deem it best, at once, to contra
dict the rumor."

BANK NOTE TABLE.

1t is said that the Smiths, of ST. Clair Bank
notoriety. were connected with the Bank of
Sandusky, Norwalk and Wooster, and these
institutions were involved in their failure. The
Cashire ofthe BankofNorwalk denies the truth
of the rumor as far as that bank is concern
ed. 1t would be as well however to be
cautions.
