I said all was excitement here; and very
manv think that war is inevitable. MY opn-
ion, however, is the reverse. You see BY
Gen. Cass' speech, that he expects war, If
certain contingency happens, which contln-
gency think will not happen, and as every
man ought 10 be able 10 give ga reason for
the hope within him." | will proceed 10
give YOU the reasons for my opinion in rela-
ton 10 this question of war with England.
First: England as manufacturing nation
is almost wholly dependent upon this coun-
try for supply of cotton to keep her mill
ions Of spindles and looms i'll operation,
without which millions of her population
must be turned out of employment, and for
cibly quartered upon the government, for a
subsistence. In this view of the subject the
acquisition of Texas, with the cotton region
we before possessed, will in all time to come,
insure TO us an honorable peace with Eng
land.
Secondly: Irelend is now ready, and when
favorable opportunity offers, will revolt and
reinstate herself in her original state Of in
dependence. In case of war with US, Ca
NADIA too, will be lost to her as colony.
Thirdly; What can England expect to gain
by resort TO arms? Can she hope TO make
conquest of this country, and subjugate 1t
to herself and bring us under her laws, and
make us tributary TO her kingly power2 l
think she cannot hope for any such thing
Can she half whip us, and make us give up
half our territory, to purchase peace? No
1t must be fight for keeps. She musttake
qll, or we will have all, and this she knows
full'well. She knows that we will loose the
8" last shot in the locker" before we will
yield one inch of our territory.
Fourthly: The last reason is, that to her,
the whig doctrine, that +" a National debt, is
National blessing" is trne; for the strong
est ligament that keeps her together, is her
National debt. She owes her immense ma
tional debt to her own subjects, to avoid the
payment of which she has placed her credi-
tors in power. They are either the men,
bers of the House of Lords, and of the
House of Commons, or have them under
their control. They hold the purse strings
of the Nation. They can declare war or
make peace. They can bluster and boast,
to get good bargain, but when it comes to
measuring arms with powerful nation of
brave men, as they know us to be, from tive
actual experiments, they will stand off at a
respectable distance, make mouths at us,
shake their heads, and turn around and walk
away. These English statesmen, who hold a
mortgage on England, are not green enough
to jeopardze the principal, to get the inte-
rest; OF in other words, they are not fools
enough to run into war with us, that will
cost them millions to commence, when all
they can expect to get in the end is sound
drubbing.
You shall hear from me occasionally as ]
may have time to write.
Yours &c.

THE STATE DEBT.

Few men so lately entered upon political
life have risen more rapidly to deserved
prominence than our Senator, Mr.. Edgerton.
His independent and fearless course, in
bringing to light the corrupt management of
our finances, is securing him the bitter ha-
tired Of the federalists and the respect Of the
Democracy. On Saturday, the eth ult., he
proposed resolution asking information
from the Governor, relative to the interest
on our public debt, wishing to be informed
" with whom and by whom" the money had
been borrowed to pay the interest, which set
the Federal camp in an uproar and occasion
ed Alfred Kelley the bitterest modification,
while it opens to the public knowledge OF
the tricks and subterfuges of the wings to
screen their own dishonest Intercourse with
the banks in the control and disposal of the
Public Funds. The Governor says in his
message that arrangements have already
been made to pay the liabilities Of the State
falling due in January and July next; and
when the Senate received the Report of the
Fund Commissioners, they state: "We
have been forced to make temporary loans
to the amount of $363, ,564,4 40 TO pay the in
terest on the State debt, due on the lst o.
January next"
1t was to find out this discrepancy in the
statements that Mr.. Edgerton offered his re-
solution Of inquiry, and as no doubt the wings
have deceived the Governor, with view tc
deceive through him the bond holders, the
proposed enquiry was most unpalatable, ant
the wings dared not allow the true state o
facts to 60 before the people. There is in
iquity in concealment. Let it be looked to
We regret that we, are unable to give the
able remarks of Mr.. Newman on the resolu.
tions. He fully defended the Democratic
party from the base charge of Reputation
put forth by the reckless and dishonest Whe
Presses Of the State. Reputation is not q
part of the creed of the Democracy, but the
past and present whig management Of our f.
nancos is fast driving on the State tosuch Q
result.

DEAR Sm.-Owing to bad health I have
not been in my seat in the House, fol. the
last few days. We are all excitement here.
There are wars and rumors of wars" The
introduction of set of resolutions, few
days since, by Gen. Cass, of the Senate, in
relation to our National Defences, has bro't
out most animated discussion in that body.
Gen. Cass led the way in most able and
patriotic speech, which was listened to by as
many as could crowd into the galleries and
chamber. He acquitted himself with that
high honor, which might be expected from
one who had discharged the important trusts,
both in the cabinet and in the field, which
have been confded to him. His speech will
be published in few days, and | hope it
will be read by every man woman and child
in the nation. =

CO The First Battalion of the Sd Regiment,
met in this borough, pursuant TO order, on Satur.
day last, for the purpose of organising a volun-
teer infantry corps, under the late act Of Con.
sress. We believe the quota for this regiment
was one company. The number who offered
their services in the battalion was 90; more than
10 required from the whole regiment. The vo.
lunteers, with the exception of 7 or s, were all
fiom the Sunbnry and Northumberland compa-
nies. We were surprised to see that several Of
the companies did not furnish single volunteer.
After the parade was dismissed, some Of the
"b'hoys" having had their war blood reused by
the music and excitement, seized this opportun.
