War with ENGLAND.

vropitieus We have provceabops enough 10 I'm
pei M, inducements enough 10 tempt us; aud the
sure and immca.urable advantages which would
follow. 10 MS to liberal principles, and TO mankind
At large al suggest he justice and the sound po-
icy of a war with England. Sooner or later, such
a war is inevitable; and better have i, sooner than
later Now is our time. The fishery question
affords the direct provocaton--tbe casus beLs. Mr..
Webster, with all his Differences TO and respect for
Great Britain and British diplomacy, cannot stand
this British assumption Of Q monopoly of our Ame-
ricaD fishing grounds He has taken bis position.
He has called upon Congress and the people for
their aid and encouragement. Let him be sus-
taired; and let the Earl OF Derby be given to
derstand that the fair American Interpretation of
the treaty must be the law, that there shall be
war. Let Mr. Webster demand this, uncondsion-
ally, aud adhere it, and abide by il, and possibly
we may have war the final and decisive war, which,
sooner or later, we are surely bound TO have with
England
The Derby Ministry, rs an expedient for home
popularity, or as we would terra it 10 this country
as movement for Buncombe, have been suddenly
seized with the conviction that our Yankee fisher
n en- are poaching upon the cod and mackerel OF her
maiesty's colonies and that these nruders, to the
number Of thirty thousand, representing capital
OF from Fifteen to twenty millions of dollars, must
leave, or be expelled, submit to have their pro-
perty seized and confscated This proceeding of
the British government is popular in the colonies,
and viii be popular in En- gland, because it wears
bullying aspect towards the United States; aud
there may be something deeper even than this in
this business The Derby Ministry appear to be
seeking the revival OF another Holy Alliance with
tie depo;s Of the Continent, against the aggressive
tendencies OF republican principles, and particular
y measure Of safety against the spirit of pro-
pagandism and armed Intervention which has re-

be The policy of the Derby Ministry, in league with
the principle OF legitimacy on the Continent, to
curb this dangerous progressive spirit Of young
America" and to chasten it, in a lesson which will
teach as that England is still the arbiter among

Northwest coast, Mexico, Central America, Cuba,
and Hayti, all together. Let the war once begin,
and the latent energies Of the American people will
be Speedily developed. The struggle may shake
this old beldamc earth like an earthquake; but
when we emerge from the smoke and dust of the
conflict, the British North American provinces will
be ours, their fisheries viii be ours, Cuba will be
ours and the absorption of Mexico and Central
America will be left wholly to discretion.
Such the splendid foreshadovinss of manifest
destiny, and of war with England.
! Let such war be declared, and in six months
we could muster a force of two hundred ocean war
steamers, and the most powerful and the swistest
on the ocean. In one month we could muster a well
appointed and well disciplined army of three hun
bred thousand men for the conquest of Canada; and
more terrible than this with the first tap Of the
drum, Ireland would rise from the dust, like
giant refreshed by sleep, and burning to avenge
theaccumulated wrongs OF five hundred years, prin-
cpal and interest. A hundred thousand fighting
Ifishmen, from the United States, would hasten
across the sea to aid their countrymen in wping
ont the disasters of the BoJne, Vinegar Hill, and
slieyegammon. More terrible still, the Irish Drcc-
tory, of this city, with their sinking fund Of some
thirty odd thousand dolars-which has been sink
ing very mysteriousy for tho last four yearsthey,
too, headed by Archbishop Hughes, would also
come up to the rescue, Notwithstanding His Grace
is dead against Intervention in Hungary. The
suit Of such a contest as this would not only give
exclusive occupation OF North America, but
would dismember and liberate at least portion Of
the United Kingdom itself.
Let, then, Mr., Webster stand firm. Let Congress
sustain bim-the people will back them up. Let it
be understood that the rights OF our fishermen, as
they have enjoyed them from the treaty of 1918
down to this day, are to be conceded, and uncon-
ditionally conceded, NJ the rsk Of war. Possibly
England my risk it. II 50, lat us have O war with
England.
