THr roFnoF TIMKs-WAR.

AGAINST the United States; its war breathing
spirit its insulting arrogance; and its threat
enipr attitude generally, have not led to as
extravagant demonstrations of wrath on the
part of the press, this side Of the Atlantic, as
we at first unprecedented. We are very glad
such has proved the case. The period has long
since passed. in this country, for an extraordi-
nary displav Of Indignation on account Of any
thing that NAV appear in the English press.
This nation II perfectly independent of the
Rrit;sh press, people and government, and is
yraat enough and strong enough to grapple
w;tb and overcome them all, in any sort of
struggle the exigenciss Of the occasion may de-
mnnd. n,
n 1t is very true that, in case Of war, England
could infict tremendous injury upon us, having
SO vast preponderance Of naval strength upon
the ocean. But We could infict more upon her.
She could not bring our national existence into
jeopardy. We could hers We could get along
without o solitary article she manufactures or
cells. She could MT exist twelve months without
our cotton, corn and wheat. Without these
great staples, her swarming millions would soon
be out of employment and in state Of starya-
ton. The fearful cry of Bread or Blood "
would speedily be heard in the streets Of her
mighty metropolis startling her aristocracy
ing the s fast anchored isle" to its center. The
source Of supply Of !. Bread" being out off,
there is no telling the quantity Of g Blood !"
that would flow. The Partisan Reign Of Terror
might be revived, and the greatest and best Of
the Empire be murdered by the SCUM Of the
cutters and the reekings Of the stews-a pro-
cess exceedingly fashionable when the people Of
Paris ruled through Robespierre, Danton and
Marat
i In the United States, none Of these dreadful
consequences could ensue from war with Eng
land. True, cotton would be low; labor low ;
the wheels Of commerce would reyolve slug
cishly; wheat and corn, and all other produce,
would command but nominal prices; every
thing would come to comparative stop for the
time being but still our country would over
dow with ali the necessities of life, while we
could manufacture, within ourselves, every
needfnl article for domestic use. Hence, our
condition would be one Of complete indepsnd-
snce. And, in one year we would have moro
war cruisers upon the seas than our gigantic
adversary.
l But. it il simply folly to talk about war be-
tween the United States and Great Britain. in

England could not strike us without hurting
herself more than she hurt us and Va oonld
not do England al injury that would not reooil
upon ourselves. Suppose, for instance. that

crushing England What would we have ac-

The course Of the London Times has baen
strongly condemned by the conservative British
press, and by the British commercial and finan-
ciaf public 1t has also encountered the repro.
baton Of the first men Of the kingdom. The
Liverpool Times thus alludes to an observation
made by the Earl Of Ellesmere, which we quote
for the purpose Of correcting the Earl's or the
Times figures. Says the Liverpool Times:
