The English government is emitting opportunity of
reinforcing the West India squadron and thus inter
posing powerful feet between this country and the
doubt not call forth from large portion of the Ameri
press that species of mild and temperate comment in
in question ana little political capital is to be
featured by making her the object OF nvectve and de-
probation. We shs be told doubt, of the fendish
hatred Of England TO republican America and Of the in
soent behind which she wells her insidous and
trescherous designs without the slightest wish to reflect
in any way the press which allows itself to be made the
vehicle OF such statements, upon the constituencies

with the utmost private liberty and security. We
have neither the wish nor the right to intrude our
opinion that form OF government which has been es
