this Government offered Great Britain to compromise upon

We need say no more, we are satisfied, to con-
vince our readers that the Executive has departed
from the safe, if not obligatory, prescription Of the
Law OF Nations, in rejecting Arbitration twice pro-
posed to it by the British Government and espe-
cially under the circumstances which characterized
the last offer and rejection Of il.
If we were ever so disposed to extend our re-
marks, we should refrain from doing SO after learn
ing when had got thus far, of the course of the
debate in the Senate yesterday, Of which we have
just heard with satisfaction which we have no
doubt our readers will partake with us. Now the
subject has got into hands so able ce shall not pre-
sumo to trouble our readers with any further re-
marks upon it.
We will conclude our reference to foreign autho-
rites to the duty Of Nations between whom con-
troversies arise, by reference to home authority
not less entitled to respect. Why Wars between
civilized nations should eper grow out Of such con-
troversies, is explained more pithily i'm letter from
DR.. FRANKLIN to Mr.. BURKE than we remember to
have it elsewhere. II is not altogether forgot
ten by the American people that the great philoso-
pher was as felicitous sometimes in the expression
OF great truth as he was in its discovery and we
take the liberty Of commenting the terse wisdom of
the sentence we copy to the especial attention of
the sages who have succeeded FRANKLIN in the afec
tons of his countrymen, without altogether ecps-
ing his reputation for sagacity and common sense.
The foolish part Of mankind says the Doctor
,ciH make wars from time TO time Nth each other,
NOT HAVING SENSE ENOUGH OTHERWISE TO SETTLE
THEIR DIFFERENCES" Whether or not the rejec-
ton Of the pacific overtures of Great Britain for the
Arbitration Of oar existing difficulties, is likely to
draw the President Of the United States and his adj
vsers into the circle of men who make wars because
they have not sense enough to avert them, we
shall be better able to determine when we shall see
what it is that they propose to do under the criti-
cal circumstances in which they have now placed
the country.

The New YORK PnoTs AND THE CHAMBER OF
ComMRRcE.-The Chamber of Commerce of this
city, apparently seek every opportunity to injure
the New York pilots in the estimation of the
public and the commercial community. A day
or two since they gave out that four of them had
joined the merchants pilots and added new
boat.
We corrected this assertion at the time it
was gwen, and now give the particulars of the
mighty addition that has been made to the mer-
chant pilots.
In doing so, it must be admitted that two APP
prentices have seeded from the old pilots, and
gone over to the opposition-and also two licensed
pilots. In justice to the old pilots, the Chamber of
Commerce ought to have given the names Of the
seceders, and then the old pilots could undoubt-
eddy give the reasons why they left them. Their
organization Is so perfect that there must be
some object IN view with those who have left
The old pilots never were stronger than thew
are at present. They still number eighty men
have thirteen splendid boats, and have Just add
ed new and splendid one to their fieet-po
their usual distance TO sea--say from fifty to five
hundred miles-and are as industrious and enter
prsing as ever.
Time, however, will regulate the enemies of
our brave pilots.
