the United States and England is evidently be.

lowing extract from q late article in Harper's
Weekly Indicates the intensity of hate which
prevails IN the United States, ard il certaisl,
sufficiently threatening. The idea that the van

Yet we do not believe that wa, is imminent
We cannot afford the luxury. The struggle III
which We are engaged taxes all our resources.
and To carry it safely through to a successful
issue will require our undivided energies. For
this reason "e do not anticipate tnat oar gov

though it IA IS ample ground Tor doing so. or will
eveu'declale an EN- barge, or seize British prop
