OPINIONS IN ESGdASP ON WAR WITH
from the Liverpool Chronicle Feb. 7.
The intelligence which has come to hand this
week from America is gratifying, because it shows
war; Jonathan has really serious notions Of fight
ing The Senate is the most conservative branch Of
the legislature, and contains the choice spirits Of
the nation. This body has rejected, by majority
of four, the warlke resolutions of Mr.. Allen, and
| foremost In opposition to them was Mr.. Calhoun,
who Ia an ultra-democrat himself and leading
member of the party which placed Mr.. Polk In the
presidential chair. There are still-we know not
| how rnany-resoutions before both houses Of Con-
gress relative to this Oregon affair." but when the
news arrives out that the reign Of monopoly is at an
end in England, they will vanish like mist before
the meridian sun. To keep up an appearance of
valor, quarter of million Of dollars had been
voted for the construction Of steam frigates. The
smallness Of the sum makes the greatness Of the oh
ject look ridiculous. There is nothing in humanity
that has greater horror Of direct taxation than JON
| athan; and when he begins to find where the shoe
pinches his talk about the de,r,ier resort will be-
come, we suspect, "small by degrees, and beauti-
fully less"
