eeems to be that England il burning with desire to

These are the opioions which are now being OK
pressed in every class OF American eociety. 10 En-
eshInen they are of little far Hs relates TO
tbe American estimate OF Our naiiouel prowess. Even

likely to alow their el-esteom to hurry them into d
canscless war With @ fullS armed European Power.
But for the sake OF the American character we Inust
regret these absurd oiplays. The conduct Of England

weeks the present OgcIy against us Will lave passed

Americans We have TO deal with people who will
