The Probabilities of War with ENGLAND.
The news brought by the steamer Ailan-
TIC, is calculated to alarm the uninitiated.
1t is stated offensive language had passed
between Mr.. BucnAxAN and Lord CLAnE,-
DON. We are also told that Mr.. BUcnASAN
had demanded his passports.
There must be some mistake about this
affair. We are not prepared to give Gre
dcnce to the story.
The warlike tone of the British press
might, if it were tho exponent of public
sentiment in England, very naturally lead
to apprehensions of war; but England has
had enough of war for the present, and the
good Sense of her people will not tolerate
the idea of breaking up the friendly rcla-
lions now existing between the two Gov
ernmcnts.
We notice some extracts from the Eng
lish papers, full of high sounding bragga,lo-
clio, claiming for England the power to an i.
initiate our navy and reduce us to terms,
should hostilities occur. This looks well
on paper, and were it rs easily performed
as written, we might apprcilcnd danger.

Nur p'h Englond.-Thcre arc indica.
tons that tho war spirits in both England
and the United States are disposed TO keep
alive u hostile feeling between tho two
countries. We can assure those who are
engaged Ill the agreeable business in this
country that they need expect no al or
comfort from the South. The South will
prove itself in this controversy the conserv-
ative section. The South, treated like n
conquered province in the House of Rep-
rcscntatives, hunted 10y the Free Soil blood
hounds in Kansas, threatened with civil and
serv'le war if she continue to maintain her
rights in that territory, plundcrcd daily Of
her property, receives greater wrongs at the
hands OF her domestic enemies than she
ever did or ever will receive from enemies
abroad. The New York Times, maic-
nant Free Soil sheet, cxul,ingly declares
that since the passage of the Fugitive Law
IN 1850, some thir.y-fve thousand slaves
have escaped, and the value of the property
abScondcd or stolen amounts to ut least
thirty-iive millions Of dollars! The Times
does not seek to reprcss its manifestations
of delight. 1t cxcliims, "The most valua-
bic slaves arc those who escape. What in
tercSt IN this country can survive an annual
loss of five millions Of dollars? The aver
age increase Of slaves in the border States
tor the ten years previous to 1850 WAS five
thousand, and six thousand ran away
Here Is emancipation without the aid of
abolition"
we commend this statement to the
Southern public and to Southern Senators
and Representatives in Congress. With
such wrongs unrcdrcsscd at home, why
should we hasten to fight the battles of our
despoi'ers and opprcssors aLroad.-Rich-

E9ort to prercnt Emigration to tie
United S"t"s.-A correspondent gives us
the following information in reference to
the efforts which are being made in Europe
to divert the tide of emigration from the
United States to Australia, Chill, and so
on:
:" have already advised You that strong
efforts were being made to turn the tile oil
emigration from the United States, and am
sorry to say that, wherever have been, |
have witnessed the effects Of these move
mcnts. The short crop in this United
States in 1854 was published all over this
country. and knowledge of the distrcsses
OF the season vas general among the labor
ing cH'aSes. 1t may seem strange that
tl:ose who know so we'll about matters in
the United States in 1854 should know so
little OF the present condition Of the coun-
try. But parties have not been idle in or
der to direct emf grafton to Australia to
Chill, and to other places. Misrcpresen.a-
tons have been made, and every possible
means rcsorted to for the purpose of adding
to the balcful effects of American Know.
Notlingism, which latter, in itself, was
likely TO keep from our shores a vast
amount of capital and productive labor,
have been assured that one of tile misrep-
rcscntations that commanded full belief
among the poorer classes in MANY parts of
this country is: that the crop of 1855 in
the United States was equally as bad as
that of 1854; that there exists a great de-
ticiency, much suffering. aud the like; that
the boast by The Americans of full corps
and freedom from distress had been nut
forward in order to pat in motion again the
current OF emigration to the United States :;
and the ignorant countrymcn here have
been cautioned against placing reliance in
such interested reports" - Wushington Un-

Mcrico.-Presidcnt ComonEort has adj
dressed letter to the Bishop of San Louis
Potosi, from which it appears that the lat
ter had taken offence at the course pursued
towards the clergy by the Governnent.-
Ills Excellcncy explains that if the bishops
were not advised of the installation of the
Government, it was only in consequence of
the confusion attending upon the numerous
changes in the Ministry having caused the
attention to tie overlooked. In the course
OF his letter he declares that he Yields to
no one III the conviction Of the great influ
ence religion exercises on the happiness of
nations; that he is pursuadel that unifor
nifty in religious beliefs is the closest bond
OF the national union that exists between
them; and that lie is, and always will he
disposed to do all he can to strengthen
religious feeling in the country. lie ex-
presses it AS his opinion, however, that the
clergy, by spontaneously excluding them
selves from all intervention in political mat
tiers, would render themselves the more
worthy of respect, and place themselves in
a very advantageous situation to mediate
in civil dissenson.
This, he argues, would by no means de-
prlve them of their quality Of citizens.-
"lh the United States, for example" he
says, "clergymen Of all denominations are
considered as simple citizens, and nevcrthe-
less can neither elect nor be elected, nor
interfere into political deliberations but
live exclusively consecrated to their sacer-
dotal duties; AMI there the ecccsiastics of
the Catholic Church have never complained
OF being entirely excluded from Intervention
in political affairs"

THE Work goes Bravely On.-Every
day, and almost every mail, brings con-
firlnation Of the Presidents growing popu-
iarlty with the people. Alabama put the
ball in motion, and since then the popular
will of tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina.
Texas and Kentucky, has been expressed in
such a manner as to leave no doubt that he
is the choice of a majority of the people in
all OF these States. AS for Georgia, we
speak k advisedIy when we give it as our
opinion, that Franklin Pierce, at this time,
could get the vote of this State for Presi-
dent, over any man that the opposition
could start, by twenty thousand majority.
Although it was thought best not to in
struct our delegates to Cincinnati, in so
many words, to vote for the denomination
Of President Pierce, yet every member of
the delegation knows that be was the first
choice Of q large majority Of the conven-
ton. The indications at this time are
strong in favor Of keeping our present skill
fil pilot at the helm for four years more.-
