Western Feeling on the Subject
of War.

The opinion has prevailed in the East, that
the people of the West wanted war. The
Louisville journal takes notice of this and
denies that such is the feeling beyond the
circle ola few demagogues, loafers and such
as have nothing To do and wish to speculate
on the money ofthe people.
II says: ave have pretty wide acquain-
lance with the people of the West, and have
frequent intercourse with men ofal parties,
and we have yet TO meet n man who ndvo-
Gates war with Great Britain on the Oregon
question. We have heard prominent Loco
tocos, when defending their party from the
accusations Of taVoring war, ask with n tri-
umphant air for the name of one person who
was anxious to see the two nations involved
in hosilities, and no answer could be given.
So far as we have had the means OF arriving
at the just conclusions on this subject, we are
convinced that, at the present moment, there
are very few advocates of war in the West;
on the contrary, the people are u pence-lov-
ing and peace-desiring people"
| Again, the same paper says: "Nc grant
that there are some demagogues referring TO
Cass and Allen anxious 10 make capital for
themselves, who, having neither moral or in
tellectual superiority, suppose their only
chance oftutIre political prefermcnt depends
on their getting up reputation for excessive
| patriotism. The cheapest way of appearing
patriotic is 10 denOunce all nations but our
own. They are intolerabe nusances, and,
| II they alone were TO he exposed to the haz-
yards and perils ofthe wars they advocate the
war question would present different ns-
pect from what it now does. But such crea-
lures never do the fighting. They leave that
part ofthe business TO infinitely better men
thnn themselves. They desire only to reap
the benefits that may result from war, and
they can therefore very well afford TO preach
up crusndes which may turn out to their adj
vantage, hut which they take precious good
care shall not peril their carcasses."
1t is from the splutterings of such fellows
III Congress, in newspapers, and elsewhere,
that the opinion has gained ground that the
| people of the West want war.
The people cherish no such wish. They
have farms TO attend to, the cultivation of
which depends on their own hands, and they
have families they love, from whom they do
not wish to separate themselves. This is
true of the people generally. Is it to be sup
posed that people whose interests confine
them at home should he anxious for war.
which will call them from their fields and
| tiresides?
1t is undoubtedly true, that here, as every
where else, there are men who have no reg
ular business, men who are outcaSts from
dcccncy, men who get prccarious subsist-
encc in many dishonorable ways, men who
have nothing to hope for in the continuance
of the present order of things, who would he
