hand opinion upon so complicated question must
Of course be the portion Of but few. To wade
through column upon column OF Official eorrespon'
dence, would supply them with but msiety Of thei
data; whilst beyond this, there the conflicting
statements Of travellers the unequivocs language Of
treaties the subeties Of dlploma,sts, and the sPph'
cation Of the tests but partially admitted as eoneln-
siye. The like ofthis is not the work for plain
man, who tolls for his living, and pays taxes tie
must venture upon similar problems. One OF THESE,
however, is the solution ofMr. Buchanan's want Of
faith in arbitration. Il is surely more likely that
case should be bad than that every tribunal shouio
be incompetent.
The history OF what may be called public opinion
In America in regard TO the alternative Of arbltra-
ton, illustrates this principle. France was thought
competent, until she passed structures on the phil
ppics of Mr., Polk; and as long as France was
eompmented upon her competency, il was be-
eyed that one honest monarch still supported the
responsibility Of his kingdom. Rut the belief in
monarchs passed away; and even the resolution OF
Mr. Winthrop in favor Of laying the question before
a body OF crownless citizens, ended as a mere alb
stract proposition. Then comes the objection on
the grounds of possible confusion between arbitra-
ZION and mediation, either in the hands Of soyer-
eigns, states, or citizens; and when this IL met by
Mr. Pakenham, his correspondent concludes with
the patriotic determination mot TO withdraw the
adjudication Of the question from the government
and people OF the United States for any arbitration
however respectable" We believe him. He does
believe that the claim and interest OF the uni
ted States will admit Of such an arbitration Why
not the claim II is merely question Of yes or no
as to the title TO the whole. If none be absolute,
then the question is where ii was. Mr. Pakenham's
proposals have limited il to this. Why not, we ask
again, the claim As for the interests, they are
another matter; and in them lies the true compiled
ton. ..-- r..., .
AT present it is perhaps sufficient to infer that ar
buation is extremely improbable, and that the Pres
dent persists in a war policy-two facts Of which
