AMERICAN FGLLIBCSTERING.
From Tas LoaGoH Tf-.es. Oct IS
The English government is emitting no opportunity
of reinforcing the West India squsdron, aud thus in
terIoeir pos eru feet between this country ADD the
North American Continent. This prose eding will, We
doubt not, call forth from large portion OF the ner
lean Iress that species Of mild temperate commen:
in which they delight whenever the contscI OF EG-
elsnd Is in question, and little political c,p al IS TO
he Manufactured BY making her the obi &C! of inyecye
and depreciation. We shall be told, doub; Of the
fendish hatred of England to Republican America
ano of the insolent behind which che vnhs her
il sdioUs ard ileacherous dtsigns. Without the
slightest with 20 reflect in any way on the pres which
allows itself be ede the vehicle Of such statements
or upon the Constituencies whose votes are found to be
influenced by such calumn,s wish 10 point on, to
the good stIse and moderation of the American peo'
pie II causes which have LED even Ia time OF war,
10 increase squadron IN tier seas, and MAJ pos
sby lead us still further 10 dli ecton, the inst steps
toward which we now Il ost un willlcyly taking.
We entreat Lhen. the American public TO believe
rotwithsaL ding the assertions 10 The contrary with
wi ch they sssduously piled, that there no
rarty or tOdy of men in this country that regards
Them with any Other feeling than that of the utmost
goodwill or would wsh for them auy other fate than
the JOY ment of the almost puoc freedom which is
consistent With the utmost private liberty ana security
We have Ieiiher the sh nor tbe right to ntrsde
Cp ion or that form OF govern nent which has been
established in the Uni ed States but we have. ana we
claim the right, to axe every reasonable preciutlon
40 sir that spirit OF uDbrded license which the pres
eIt ooyerput Mt Of the United States seem, inclined 10
tolerate. Al this lent North America Is IN pro-
foupd peace with the whole yet it s not the less
true thai in her ports are fitting out at this moment
piraical busterng eXpediions destined to carry war
and bloodshed into the GomiDoDs Of an unofeuding
eiehuor These expeditions do not receive the sane oa
of the American government, are not equipped by
is funds will not be conducted by It's officers but
their preparation is nevertheless well known 10 tue
President ard bis administration, and received no
check from that quarter. This federation, are will
ling 10 suppose, proceeds from weakness merely, and
would be exchan sed tor vigorous acton only thattne
towtr TO act is utterly wanting. The American peo
pie are so free that they Will not be controlled 6y q
Government Of their own creating, ard though iaut-
ably eager for the preservation OF their own dignity
and the assertion OF their own rights, cannot bring
Themselves 10 tolerate Executive sufficiently strong
10 compe respect for the rights of foreign nations IT
is ecause We zee no hope Of fading IN the nlted
states Government capable OF preventing Its citizens
from wsging private war their account against
the best riepds and truest allies Of the great republic
that we are most unwilngly compelled, even In the
mic II Of the great European struggle IN which we are
engaged to assume a defensive at1 ude, IN 0fuer 10
trsmple out the frat sparks OF this fire and prevent
col sgra.on which, il once allowed to spread, may
cause incalculabe misery 10 the human race. 1t Is
the misfortune Of the American republic that
sbe contains within her borders many desperate ana
hawkes. men; il is still more her msio tune that sne
does OF pos sess an organization sufficiently powerful
10 crush these criminal attempts. That when she
caInOt do we are compelled a. least so lar as the law
less enterprises directed against ourselves co. TO DO or
saries Of instruction and plumber have set their feet
within her Msjesty's cominons, and en0ount red
there The resistance which is to 0verwbelm their
wild and desperate schemes. We cannot wa' TIL we
are placed in the terrible dilemma of either sparing
men 10 whom cemency is cruelty to the human race
of bich they the enemies, or OF ntictng just
Punishment, which nay be the means OF lnnaining
against us the passions of the American people aud
eso 10 disastrous and fra'ricdal war We VIII, II
be possible prevent the crime that otherwise 1t wou
be our duty most eyerey TO punish and this we do in
the name and in he hope OF peace we cannot DeheVe
tbstthoee who are now engagedin enrolling unhappy
men for n ese desperate and criminal enterprises really
contemplate the SUCCESS of descent upon Ireland
for instance as probable or even possible. All they
hot is II at the miserable late sure 10 atenu sucn
yretched Adventures may be the means OF iniami
IL public mind against England, and stirring up the
passions of the people to point which might render
war inevitable. This consuInmation IL Is the duy Oh
the American Government, II II can, TO prevent ana
as il cannot, Of the Government against which such
atteuuts are aimed by ell means TO avert III we can
prevent these expeditions from sailing, or intercept
Them in mid. ocean, we shall have done much TO ward
svettpp he danger that must arise should they be
carried out 10 their natural development The course of
action we have adopted bold but for that very eason
we bt ieve il to be prudent and safe.
We are fully aware Of the advantage that such q
proceeding gives to those ever achve emlssares Oh
5iscord who are nc ssantly employed in every state
Of tie Union in stirring up the feelings OF the popuace
against this country. That which i mere measure
az against awless force they will represent
Sa n
country; they will decIam, they will dstort, they
will ,xageera.e, bu, we must not omit to prepare
against cal dangers because preparations may be
fopts tly misunderstood designed; mlsepreseneo'
England has every wish and every interest to remain
at reace with America. The immense trade when we
carr on with her the community OF language ana OF
blood the absence of any ground OF dlspu;e or sho
iect of rivalry, ali plead forcby In The same dtec
Row strange that, under such circamst tnceS, we
,borld be driven to arms merely because iqs the WIN
of poriion of the sovereign people to make war upon
ms oe6 and unapproved, but also neither pre-
vented nor arrested by the Governmt Mt! We desire
above all things a continuance OF pe~e out Il l. oe
tte determr alton of any large portion OF the people OF
the United States 10 force war upon US, we sna kno"
how TO meet it and repel il, without relaxing Tor an
nsant grpe on the throat oil the reeing anu 10Y
terirg giant OF the north.
But is it for the credit Of those free institutions 30
opn Wanted az all that is wise perfect and liberal on
he face of the earth that friendly and kindred ma
ton srdently desiring peace, should feel ltself com
netd 10 stand on the defensive, not because II mas
spy ,erious dispute with the Government OF tnls fe
and hapuy community, but because that Government

of an upoffe ndir ally Are these the gaands with
which The nee of freedom ought 10 be adorned-Ae
