done. and what must at all risks be adhered 10.
In, though we agree with The President IN the
nronrIe,v and even necessity of the course which
he has taken, we canno, indulge in the fond hopes
which lie has expressed, that the matter can be
amicably and equtably adjusted without reconrso
to arms. We have not that great faith IN the en-
lgh,ened intellect and pacific disposition OF The
nineteenth century which some philosophers ana
philanthropsts affec, 10 entertain. We do not be-
lieve that since the treaty of Paris human nature
has been materially altered, or that the wIston
Of statesmen has been greatly improved. Inc
same causes which led to the wars that devastated
Europe, from the outbreak Of the French rovolu'
ton till the final restoration Of the iI.beclle dynas'
ty of the Bourbons, are yet in active operaIon.--
The constitutional monarchy Of France, and the
French republic after the deposition OF Louis ANl,
asked of Europe uothins but peace. But all sorts
Of pre,ences wore found for war--at first il was
to restore civil order in France, and rescue the
King from bondage-ncx: to prevent revolutions
in their own sta tates-and finally they had the har
dhood to declare that il was Ilst cause Tor nos
tility, that people had asserted It's rights, aud al,
tempted to govern itself. The aris,ocracIes ana
despo.sms Of Europe forced Frnnce into that sys
tom Of aggression which finally gave an apparent
justification TO their inidditous proceedings.
The position which France occupied in l799
and the following years, so faras the other govern
ments of Europe were concerned, IS very similar
to that occupied by our countryat the present m
r ment. 1t was arepublic-so are we; 1t excercls'

who have circulated the report that Judge Pas.

which they at the same time knew to be faIse.--
Hence the reason, an explanation was asked.
