THE PRESS ON OUR RELATIONS
WITH ENGLAND,

WITH ENGLANU.
Judging from the tone of our exchanges,
the probability of a disruption of the amica-
bic relations. which this nation has held
with England, seems in very great measure
to have subsided. The conservative press
of the United States deprecate such ter
mination Of the disputes. to which the un-
questionably culpable conduct of England.
in regard to the enlistment question, gave
rise-and which have grown more vehement
in view of the widely different constructions
placed by the two countries upon the nature
of the compacts existing between them
and if we mistake not, the indications are,
that the large mass of the English people
are disposed to avert if possible the calami-
ties by which war would be attended But
while we think we discern in the extracts
from those foreign journals. which claim to
represent directly the wishes and spirit of
the people, disposition to urge upon their
government bloodless adjustment of the
differences Of opinion which now exist,
we find in several of the English papers,
articles in the highest degree inHammatory
and incendiary in their import, and insulting
in the tone of defiance and bravaGo which
they employ. In discussing the possibility
of war with the United States, the London
Telegraph frets and fumes in very i'm
patient manner, and seems almost wild
for chance at the people of this coun-
try, and winds up its TRADE by sug-
gestion at which even the soul of the
black-hear.ed scoundrel who figures as
its editor, should have rcyolted, and
which, because Of its tendency to aid and
inspirit an infamous faction at the North,
we see copied into their journals. The
London Morning Post. of the 18th of
February, an article from which, upon
this subject, We saw copied some time
since in the G0-ette 9- Democrat, goes
into what, doubtless, it conceives to be
a very elaborate nalysis of the existing
institutions of America, and deliberately
proceeds to furnish q diagnosis of the
evils which curse our body politic--
Rumaging among the nostrums with which
its kindred quacks have surfcited the eff
fete Governments, which it holds up to
view as healthy examples of vigorous
nationality, until, politically speaking,
they are now almost In Grticmio ni0rtis,
it furnishes gratis nauseous dose, which,
if the Post is to be believed, this nation
must swallow, CT, like any other infant
in its swaddling clothes that refuses to
obey the injunctions of It's nurse, be forced
to take it. Now doubtless all that stuff
which the editor wrote in the Post,
sounded very well in a few ears, and
probably some OF the titled ninnys whose
opinions it reflected, were highly pleased
thereat, but over ON this side of the At
lantic it has very different effect, and a
smile of quiet scorn, or pity for the in
formed intelligence which could SO out
rageously prostitute It's capacities as so
grossly to lie as to the real condition of
affairs here, or suggest such remedy for
such errors, admitting they did exist, are
the only emotions the article in question
excited. And if an attempt should be
made to engraft the policy which the Post
suggests, upon the role which the monar-
chies Of Europe are playing, to their own
imminent danger, and to the amusement
of this nation, We are very much mistaken
if they do not find that, for the third
time, they have reckoncd without the
host, whose self-invited guests they would
make themselves, by force of hired arms.
We VIII give, in our next issue, an article
from Reynolds' Loudon Newspaper, of
February 10th, 1856, which is a very
decided contrast to the articles above re-
ferrcd to.
