The Union oil Friday last publishes extracts
from two other letters written by America,
citizens IN London, Tor puTporting 10 be .,

the editor has been hooked. in one of which
apprehension is exl ressed "tnat we are OF tn,
very, verge OF war-Precipitated into it by th'
cruel policyo OF and 9th
or distinguished men" This is The old sonl
sbount the Senate. The country is TO be
plunged into war because the Senate has cx.
pressed desire to have peace. We arc likely
according TO these letter writer's, to miss tbs

ana IN tact we do not believe that the letters
were written by American citizens residing
IN London. They are two abusive OF the A.
merlcan Senate, and smack TO much of another
quarter, TO be entitled 10 confidence. They
are evidently written aud published with The
design OF preparing the public mind 10 con.
uemh the senators aimed at, in case war should
ensue. 1t is to be attributed TO the DELAY in
IN the passage OF The Notice resolutions in the
Senate. and these gentlemen are TO no beId
responsible to he country. Hear vha, ons
OF the writers says:
= In the present state OF our relations with
England,
have much TO answer for. From the farmer
nothing better could have been expected but
from the latter we had right TO look for an
chtlrely different course. Should this nation
