this country hundreds of millions of money,

war with Engiand is always popular In
the United States, and, at the same time, such
war would be m ore injurious to our inter-
ssts than any other which we could under
take We all have a traditional hatred OF Eng
land We are taught AT school that liberty
was never heard of Till the Boston boys threw
the tea snto Boston haroor. 1t is not ,iil we
come TO an age of reason and reflection. that
we learn that our own liberty is only English
liberty transferred TO American soil, and that
all we have OF law or freedom worth having
is of the same Anglo Saxon origin Then. as
10 the questions that led to the separation Of
the two countries, Intelligent Engiishmen now
admit that we were right that they would
have done the same in our place, that we were
yindica,ing English principles of liberty, and
thai, SO far as the prosperity and power of
England arc concerned, instead of being di-
minished by the rupture, they have grown
more rapidly since than ever before, and that
we are worth more TO England than we ever
could have been as colonies. Nevertheless, the
provision raising portion OF this country is
constantly spelling for fight with England,
and eternaily pitting the American eagle
agains, the British lion. Strange TO say, some
of the organs of the large northern commercial
cities join them in the outcry. When could
northern commerce be al war with England
The experience of the last war proved that it
was not the men who were most fierce to bring
it about. who We're the most melancholy when
ii was ended. We never heard much of HULL,
PERRY, DECATUR, CHAUScEY, MoDoNoUGH,
&c, before the war; the noisiest people, both
before and after, were those who were most
quiet during its continuance, and who, when
the war was over illuminated their houses
and rent the air with hallelujahs that the torn
hal past and the sky serene and peaceful
again.
DANIEL WEBSTER once said that he knew of
nothing more important to the peace of the
world, its prosperity, the progress of know
ledge aud Of just opinions, the diffusion of the
sacre, light of Christianity, than the preserva-
ton OF good feeling between Englishmen in
England and the descendants of Englishmen
in America. In view of the moral responsibility
to when nations as well as individuals are
held in this age of the world, both countries
would he held to strict account by civilized
mankind. il, without reasons deeply affecting
their Independence and great interests, any
controversy between them should have other
than an amicable issue Mr. WEBSTER also
said and with equal truth, that while each
country has intelligence enough to under
stand all that belongs to its just rights, and is
not deficient i'll means to maintain them, yet,
In the event of war, neither party would or
could have any signal advantage over the 9TH
or, except whatit could find in the business of
its cause and the appreciation of the world.
In fine, If the United States government and
England should each sink its own merchant
beet if the Northern cities would bow them
selves down, the Southern planters set fire to
pull down their manufactures, they would
produ the certain effects of war, without
those accomplishments of bloodshed and "a
pine which are SO revolving to humanity
They might just we'll determine to do these
things as To make war upon each other Their
lies OF kindred blood language and laws are
not enough to compel them 10 keep the peace
is the experience of the past has proved, but
mutual interests are bond which neither can
afford TO break. The clouds that occasionally
arise in their horizon will be dispersed by the
good sense and good feeling of the enligh tened
and influential minds of both countries The
war dogs in both countries will be permitted
to bark, for free uterance is the right of all in
free countries but they will not be allowed
10 bite That is an expensive luxury, to which
they must not aspire. As the sensible and
gallant old British Admiral told the bellicose
British Governor, when ordered to support
his pretensions at San Juan with the squad
ron, sour broadside would cost more than the
whole country would be worth.''
