Probabilities of War.

The following is extract from speech of Mr..
lverson, of Ga, in the Senate Of the L. S.:
View this subject as you please sir, it seems to
me that there is not only danger, but imminent dan
ger, OF war with great Britain. | admit that my
opinion cannot stand by the side of those of the
potent, grave and reverend sgniors' who have ex-
pressed different opinions but nevertheless ii is my
opinion, and give it for what it is worth. What
would be the condition of the United States if we were
precipltated into a with Great Britain? She is
now about to make peace with Russia and if that
peace be concluded, Great Britain will be in the
best condition she has been in since the founda-
tlon OF The government to the present day, for war
with the United States She has larger naval ar
mament than she has ever had before. She has
larger and better appointed army than she has here
toore boased Of she has the most magnificent ma
ter'as OF war that any country any age have ever
seen. In the event of between Great Britain
and the United States, this immense naval armament
this stupendous fabric of army would be precipi-
tated the United States. What would be our con-
dition TO meet hem? Notwithstanding the weak
conCilion in which we should be pl ced towards such
remen+uous and overpowerng forces as Great Brit
ain would have it in their power bring against u.s.
we stand ht re and talk abouI voting So 900 900 TO
increase the arms OF the United Staes!
