ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. 1t has
been frequently ntimated in the public papers,
that the hostile movements of Mexico have
been instigated by Great Britain, but this is
mere conjecture. We cannot see any interest
which the latter could have in producing a
war between this country and Mexico, unless
the supposition be INDUCED that England might
expect thereby to settle the Oregon controver-
sy with us more advantageously. But, say
some, England designs to take part III the con-
test against US. This we do not believe. She
is a nation that consults her own interests
She looks to comm rcial advantages, and most
of her wars have been conducted with that
view. Should she take part with Mexico it
would be at the sacrifice of the immense trade
which she now carries on with the United
States, without any counterbalancing benefit.
A large portion of her population is now scarce
ly able to procure the means of support; and
thousands are preparing to leave her shores
from the dread of starvation. What would
be the condition of the manufacturers of Eng
lullu III IaoO vi "oA WIN uS' iNHo Va NhOu0
sands of them would be thrown out of en-
ployment, and general dissatisfaction would
prevail. Taking the present and prospective
condition of England then into consideration
we have no reason to believe that she will
rashly or unnecessarily seek war with the
United States. She might fight for point Of
honor, and no doubt would do SO, sooner than
yield to US the whole of Oregon-but she will
not, we think, thrust herself into hostilities
without occasion.
There is too great disposition with some Of
our politicians, to excite a hostile feeling to-
wards Great Britain; and it would seem to be
the policy of such men to endeavor to produce
war between the two countries. Why should
they 90 to war, there is nothing ofimportance
in dispute between them, and they have every
inducement to preserve harmony. In regard
to Oregon the difference might be amicably
adjusted in few days; and we hope that the
notice when received in England will produce
this result. 1t will shew that Government
that we neither expect nor claim the whole OF
Oregon; but, on the contrary, that we are So
licitous only to settle the affair amcably.
We have one war on hand, and shall find
sufficient employment in attending to that,
without endeavoring to excite another with
Enoland-a war above all Others most to be
deprecated-a war that would require every
nerve of the country to be exerted to the ut
most. Why, then, should the newspapers or
our public men indulge in language towards
England, calculated to produce excitement
here and irritation there? 1t will be time enough
for us to charge that country with having in

CoNGREss We are glad to see that both
houses of Congress have, with great prompt
ness and unanimity, voted for the supply OF
men and money to conduct the contest in which
our country is engaged with Mexico. We felt
assured that, however senators and represent
tatives might differ as to the justice or proPrie-
ty Of placing our army in its present location,
they would unite in affording the means for its
protection-accordinGy it has been seen, that
whilst the course pursued by the government
in placing our army on the Rio Grande has
been condemned by gentlemen in both houses of
Congress, they have not withheld their support
from bills necessary to the defence Of the coun-
try. We have heretofore said, that, at crisis
like the present, with the enemy in the field
against us-wth the blood of slaughtered A
morican citizens staining our soil-party spirit
should be hushed and the whole American
people swayed by but one impulse, that of de-
Tending the rights and preserving the honor Of
the country-we therefore saw, with deep re-
greet, in the Union of Tuesday night, an edito-
rial article, headed "the two parties, - in which
the editor INDUCES III a sneering tone against
certain senators, who expressed their doubts as
TO the propriety of the President conduct in
placing our army in its present trying position,
but yet would cheefully vote for the means to
extricate it, Such articles at this time are cal
culated to chill public spirit, and TO destroy
that harmony which ought to exist; and should
not, therefore, be published. The editor cam
not lash either senators or people into silence
and submission, and the effort to do it will be
vain. 1t seems to us, that too great disposition
is manifested by the editor of the Union, to as
sumo an arbitrary and dictatoral attitude, not
only towards his political opponents, but as re-
spects his party friends. If they fail to follow
as he directs the lead they are rebuked for their
wlfulness, or denounced as iactious. This
may arise from the testinesS of disposition
which is sometimes incident to advanced age;
but it is unbecoming the station which he oc-
cupics-a station which requires evenness of
temper-dignity Of style-and calmness of in
veStigation. We despise the eternal cant about
party; and particularly at moment which
Nailo lol uhloi vi IHo PaltlollC vi dll pdILles'
The man who prefers his party to his country,
is a disgrace to the latter-we care not wheth-
Ell he be wing OF democrat.
We say that both houses of Congress have
acted periodically and nobly-and have eviu-
ced an American feeling and spirit which emit
tie them to the respect and thanks of the ma
ton. Let us not, then, have any petty cavil-
ling about 'lhe two parties" where both have
discharged their duties faithfully and honora-
bly.

vies, has returned from Washington, and in
forms US, says the Argus, in a conversation we
had with him at the City Hall, that Captain
Thornton certainly got safe back to the camp
of Gen. Taylor, aud that all the particulars, as
we gave them from the Union, are true. May
or Davies gathered strong hopes that bill
would pass providing for the ratification Of
Sellers Point. The Government intend as
signing Captain Washington's company, at
Carlisle, to Fort McHenry, if the troops there
now should be ordered to the frontier, and in
the event of needing the services of the Balt-
more military, will avail of their offer, which is
regarded as a good suggestion. 1t will be ne
cessary for them to volunteer under the act of
Congress though.
