OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
We notice several Of our federal exchange
papers, which used to be constantly quakins
with fear that the locofocos " would involve
the country in a foreign war, arc just now
running over with patriotism, and breathing
slaughter and death again,, any nation which
darcs to bite their lips At the Stan and Stripes.
National honor, protests, var, arc themes up
on which they daily discourse to their read
crs. The French are disposed to foiec their
liquors upon his majesty, the King Of The
Sandwich Islands; and for this our federal
friends are ready to take up arms. The Mex.
lean. are playing double game win Brother
Jonathan and John Dull, n order To make
good speculation IN the sale Of the right Of
way across the Is,hmus; and here they talk
of fight The Ausirians have rctaliaioiup-
on Secretary Webster, for his smart letter
relative to the lIungauan,, by mprisoning
one Of our citizens without cause and fpr
tins they propose TO visit them With such sig
nal vengeance, that even Russia shall trcmbls
at the name Of America. The Boston Alta,
even regrets that the frs, steps IN these under.
akings, mus, b. delayed until the return OF
Mr. Webster, from his usual summer fishing
excursion.
Now We do not know but there is good
cause for lll tins eNubcnncc Of patriotism.
and iha, our federal Gienls are really to Ggh,
an creation al the least aiIfout, and We cr,.
airly will not give " AID and comfort io lhe
enemy. II they End It necessary To take OPP
arms n defence of American rights and bon.

they now express contrast too strongly with
their lralioruus conduct when war actually
comes When a democratic administration
found il necessary 10 defend our nights byl

lcdcralrsts refused To give even rliaura Go
