indicates that the dismissal of Mr.. Champion will
be somewhat resented by the British Government,
and that Mr. Dallas will receive his passports with
out delay So much we regard as certain from the
language of The London Times, from which journal
several articles on this subject will be found on
smother page. The tone and statements of The
Times are evidently exaggerated, but its intimate
relations with the existing British Ministry give to
it's suggestions, under such circumstances as the
present, something of an official character, and.
accordingly, we may very possibly hear by the
steamer of the 21st, when the news of Champions
dismissal will have reached England, that Mr..
Dallas has received his passports, and that diplo-
matte relations between the two countries are
broken off, Still, we repeat what We have con-
stantly urged upon this subject, there is no
danger Of q war. The controversy will not
extreme. Even if the British Cabinet should
be disposed to carry their diplomatic retaliation to
inconyenent lengths, the opposition in Parlia-
ment, and the immense stake of England in tho
preservation of peace will cause them to pause be-
fore precipitating the two natioDsn to hossiites;
and on our side the restraining forces are still more
potent. The slave power, Of which Mr.. Pierce
and bis Cabinet are but the Instruments, is in
hexibly opposed to any actual, above-board fight
ing, however it may applaud underhand, such en-
terprises as those Of Gen. Walker, or however
ardently it may desire new regulations OF troPica
territtry, to afford new outlets to It's specia
branches of production and commerce, slave
breeding and tie slave-trade. 1t is true that Mr.
Pierce, Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Buchanan nigh
gladly hail foreign war, as means of withdraw
ing attention from the atrocities perpetrated In
Kansas by the agents Of the Executive and the
leaders of the democratic" party in that quar-
ter; but that is preference in which the country
will hardly be disposed to crafty them. We re-
peat it, there is no danger Of war.
We desire, however, to call the special attention
of those conservative" interests, whose support is
especially invoked for Mr.. Buchanan to the fact,
that what most aggravates th, difficulty with the
British Government, and what indeed alone gives it
any DANGER is the recognition by Mr.. Pierce of the
representative of Gen. Walker. Had Fathsr Will
not been received by the President, with some
private ceremonies which the Administration were
ashamed to publish, and had not aid been openly
rent to Walker from our ports, there would have
been nothing to exacerbate the previous contro-
versy respecting Central America into anything
worthy to be called alarming. But that recog-
milton, boggled and hidden as it was lends serious
character to the previous complication, because it
indicates a fllibuster policy en- the part Of the
American Government and disposition to favor
such piratical enterprises as Walkers, which may
well cause anxiety on the part Of Powers like
France and England, having possessions in the
West II dies that may be attacked. Here lice the
whole ground of the alarm excited among
the commercial and moneyed interests Of both
England and the United States; and We beg those
interests to observe that Mr.. Buchanan is pledged,
both by signing the Ostend manifesto and by the
platform of the Cincinnati Convention, not only to
maintain this libuster policy, but to carry it
to still greater lengths. Border Rufansm at home,
and fllibuster wars abroad, are the two cardinal
doctrines of modern Democracy" AMI Of its can
oidste for the Presidency.
