The true Democrat., 1856-07-15
The United States and England.

All apprehensions of war with England seem to be alayed. The telegraph announces the most pacific disposition upon the part of the British ministry. Mir. Dallas will not be officially disturbed, and the hope is expressed that the Central American difficulties will be amicably arranged.
 Thus dies away aspirited little excitement No war with England! We thought the roar ing of the old lion was insincere-a mere some thing to sooth wounded pride There was no pretext for war. The American cabinet had only discharged a palpable duty in dismssng the British officers for the violation of our laws. No offence was meant to the British govern- ment, and wire councils prevailed in England when it was determined to so regard the dis missal of Crampton.
 It is impossipl to estimate the ruin and suf- fering a war between the United States and Great Britain would bring No greater calam ity could befall the world. It was a result tC be summed and avoided by every sacrifice bu that of national honor. A war with England would fall heavily on the southern states.- It would in all probability revolutonize thu British government. But there is to be n, war.

 k. Il. JOHNSON, Eso-Dear Sir:-Having Just returned from the discussion between Gen. Sam Mitchell and Dr. John Moorman, the former the democratic and the latter the Know Nothing candidate for the State Legislature and having witnessed the operation of skinning a Hive Know Nothing" felt inclined to ac- quaint you with the fact Dr. Moorman evil dently has cholera case on hand and notwith- standing he has called a consultation, I am fearful the stage of collapse will ensue in de- spite of remedies. Dr. Moorman emphaticallv declares thatthe Kansas. Nebraska bill is ULTRA ABoLITIoN-free-s -soilers defend us from such an imputation! The Doctor has evidently taken the statements of Know Nothing papers for fact, instead of investigating the records.
 Gen. Mitchell meets the expectation of his friends. He successfully refutes the stale slan- ders against our noble standard bearer, James Buchanan, and even puts Know Nottingham to blush. Arkansas county is o. K, and will come in "right siGe up' in August.
