Recent news from Europe seem to indicate
that there may possibly be diffic,lty between
England and the United States, although we
must confess tina: we entertain no very great
fears on the subject. The ordering of ships
of war to the West India station has, at least,
the appearance of hostility, and yet England
must be fool-hardy if she is really serious in her
designs. Suppose she should pick quarrel
with the United States, what would be the re-
suit? On the one side Russia would pour in
her hot-shot, while on the other, brother Jona-
than would divert himself with destroying her
navy. Then Ireland would laugh for joy,
Canada would move to arms and Hungary
would break her letters and "pitch In" SO,
altogether, we think it would be an interesting
time. For the cause of liberty in Europe per-
haps it would be the best thing that could &C.
cur. But then seriously, we do pot think a
rupture will take place. 1t is true, beside the
act of the English Government in ordering
ships to the West India, it has rejected the
| Clayton and Bulwer treaty, which, however,
will only encourage fillibusters to carry on their
| damnabe operations. Aside from this, we think
no harm will be done, and our reasons are the
same as those assigned by the London Tele-
graph. Speaking Of the matter the editor
says:-
"a quarrel with the United States would
cost us twenty millions of trade annually, and
at the end Of the war we should leave off with
out anything settled, and with the loss of the
Canadas, the lower or maritime Provinces and
the wheat fields. But foolery of this kind
must not be permitted; and if there be ten
dency in that direction we must have Parlia-
ment summoned as soon as possible. Mean
time we point attention to the fact Of such an
armament being sent off to the shores of the
United States, and ask, as the American en-
bassador will Of course find his duty to do, for
what British purposes has the sending of such
an expedition become necessary 2"
Possibly the successes which have attended
the allied troops, brought about by the supe-
rior maneuvres Of the French, have encouraged
John Bull to make new conquests, and he
really thinks he can coerce his good brother
Jonathan into his measures What ride
ulous idea But let him try it, and if he does
not get his fingers burnt, then we will confess
our lack of faith in the affective qualities Of
birthstone or the more powerful effects Of gun.

THE OLD HUMBuG.-From the year 1918
| to the present time, the South have been con-
| tinually crying, dissolution, secession" &c.
| Whenever our Southern brethren are fearful
| that the North will be successful in any effort
which has for it's end the curtailnent of slavery,
then we hear the old humbug-" dissolution Of
| the union and this scare-crow has been the
means more than once of inducing the North
to relax her efforts in the cause of down trod.
| den humanity. But thank God, it can fright
en- US no longer-no longer will it cause US to
| yield one inch Of the vantage ground we have
gained and which we intend to hold--no Ion
ger will the clustering of southern fllibusters
turn us aside from the path of right, but
they will give us new energies and new
strength, to do and dare in the battle of Free
dom.
For some time past, the South have been
comparatively silent because they knew by the
passage of the Nebraska bill they had unlaw-
fully appropriated to themselves that which did
not belong to them and they were in
hopes that the North, as usual, would concede
to their unjust demands, and they would be
permitted to quietly plant slavery on territory
dedicated to Freedom for thirty-four years.
But they find they are mistaken. They find
that the North is fully aroused and will not
bend the knee and failing to quiet the angry
waves, they have at last sent forth the old bu-
gle tone. Hence we hear the Governor of
Georgia recommending to the Legislature Of
that State :" TO provide for calling State Con-
venton, in case Congress refuses to admit Kan
sas into the Union on account of her being a
Slave State, in which case he advises dissolu.
ton of the Union, but hopes the patriotism Of
the North will avert such calamity"
| Lett come--we say let it come. "The
patriotism OF the North " will not avert such
calamity, if by doing it she must ignore every
principle Of right and justice. The time has
gone by when the South can break a solemn
compact and then turn round and ask us of the
North to sanction it, and it's done. The Ru.
| bicon has been passed, and I" sink or swim,
live or die" the friend of Freedom are deter
mined that slavery shall no longer pollute one
single foot of Free Soil The cry of "Disso-
luton of the Union" therefore, falls harmlessly
to the ground, and sooner or later, these who
utter it, will become the laughing stock of the
civilized world. Save your lungs then gentle
men of the South-husband your resources
act discretely and the Union will stand as fixed
and eternal as the stars in Heaven!
