From the Dublin Post, March 81
The intelligence communicated to our readers ia
last, and which we repeat in greater detail to-
day, might be supposed, in the opinion of many, to
cate above---namelv, that there will be 20 war be-
tween the United Kingdom and the United States
We confess, however, that our opinion remains
pretty much the same, Notwithstanding the obstna-
cy OF the American President and the bellcose rig
marolery OF certain members of the Congress.
These people are believing like their own buffaoes
but they appear TO he taking as little precauton
these brutes for futury They seem to be ofoPinion
all that is necessary to scare England from the as
sertion of what she considers her rights But, while
they are taking this course-whle the United States
are ringing with their declamations-they have not
constructed one fort their Atlantic board, add
ed steam frioate TO their navy.
This is the feeling of the United Kingdom 1t has
been expressed in all manner OF forms, and from
every possible quarter There has risen up terri
toria dispute between the nations. We try negoti-
ation-we invoke arbitrameDt. But, though he has
condescended TO open the question, Mr. Polk laughs
at negotiation, and arbitramcnt he rejects mad
mlssible. What object, therefore, can Mr. Psken-
ham have in view by continuing the idle, the
ridiculous routine Of further diplomatic cores
pondence We really cannot see the object,
though, we dare say, there is some. In the
communication, however, of the President to the
American Senate, we confess we cannot find any
trace upon which to base an expectation of the
kind. :" III not submit to arbitration," quoth this
that the right of the United States to the debaeable
land is doubtful" Now-we put it frankly-is not

bear In mind that democracy IS proverbia!y capri

the South and North for though there democrats
returned to Congress from the two latter sections OF
the States, we believe they never contemplated
going to war for scarcely uninhabtable desert on
the west of the Rocky Mountains. The interests
of both these sections-and they are still the most
powerful IN the Union, Is peace-the South by rea-
son of her cotton and tobacco; the North by rea-
son Of her commercial intercourse with the mother
country; the Centre by of the -four and pork
and Indian corn, which, should peace be the policy,
she will have to carry to the shores Of the United
Kingdom. We do really believe that the American
government, big as it talks, does not apprehend any
serious breach of the relations existing between the
two countries. II it did expect hostes, then it is
guilty OF high crimes and mlsdemeanors against
the American people, if not Of high treason; for it

effect this exhibition Of candor may have upon
"the enliehtened citizens OF tree and independent
America" We hope, tor all our sakes that il will
prove sedatve. At any rate, still persist in the
conviction, that there will be no war between Eng
land and America.

the Upper Middle, and there laid about four hours.
The wind was southerly, and the weather fine and
