49,. .hose under the auspices Of Champion against
pnssia--the enemy.of England, the old friend of
.,.r;cs-whose cause may Heaven bless and pros
nor III, she hunbles in the very dust her enemies
and ours!
Ua can scarcely credit the idea that England is
on far piyen up to that madness which goes before
destruction as to make upon the United States
avon were her harvests bright and pcnteous, her
Golfers full and OVERLOOKING and she at peace with
all the world She could not even then cut the
cotton bonds that unite u.s. without drifting into an
ahvss of commercial and manufacturing ruiz.
deeper and more hopeless than any into which
she could plunge this country. But aor, with
Russia on her hands, with an ntermnable war in
,rospect, with the Rank of England tottering and
rroaning in the storm, with her people looking to
America for their very bread, rupture with the
Tinted States would be sheer insanity. Suppose
she could burn down cities desolate our coasts,
and play havoc with our commercial marine, how
,nany months would elapse before every city
would be rebuilt every seaboard fertilization rise
from its ruins, every ocean wave echo the thunders
of American men-ofwar and priyateers! Indeed
without sending man or gun to Ireland, or tc
any portion of the British domnions, without ever
increasing our own army and navy, we couldworl
more ruin to Manchester, birmingham and Sheffield
than if a thousand American cannon should pla
upon each till not one stone were left upon another
It's impossible to understand how wise and politi
a country as Great Britain should be betrayed int
q hostile position towards the United States, unIes
Louis Napoleon has inspired her with faith in thu
capacity of the Anglo French alliance to conque
both bemispheres and divide the world as tn
spoils of victory.
But from enemies who will unmask themselves
and, in a fair fight in broad day, try the wager
hattie, America has nothing to fear Nay, terribI,
as would be such q war it would be less terrible
less bloody less ruinous than those civil convul
sons and that disunion ofthe States to the very Dor
dcrs of which we have been brought by British ar
tifce If England viii but throw off he
disguise if she will cast away her visor, and strike
her smear sharp and full upon the shield of the
nubIic we should hail her the friend and deliver.
or of this country. We owe our national ndepen-
dence and liberties to her hatred they have never
been in peril since their establishment except from
her friendship; she will save them now, and bear
IN the Ark of the Union in triumph and safety,
if she will but rain down upon us day and night
the floods of her wrath and vengeance
In any event, we trust the government of the U.
States will manifest towards aggressors in every
quarter the same firm and manly spirit which
Washington, Madison, Jackson and Taylor exhibi-
ted towards the foreign governments which, during
their administrations manifested disposition to en-
croach upon the dignity and rights of this country
We have moro to dread from timidity than rash
ness The propensity Of towards to insult those
from whom they fear no resistance, and to crouch
AT the very feet of those whose spirit is well aSeer
tanned often characteriZes nations well As indvi
dlals. The rights and dignity of country are only
safe when possesses spirit and strength to sustain
them. We cannot doubt, therefore, that the T.
States government will pursue its course, in all
things, unmoved by the threats of either England
or France; and that in particular it win insis. up
the immediate recall of the Fillibustering
CHAMPION or, failing in that recall that it send him
out of the country forthwith and leave England to
avenge that act in such manner as she deems best
