War with England.

The New York Evening Post, leading
administration journal, has the following
remarks upon the current reports If trOub
lie with England:
The newspapers speak of a dispatch, now
supposed to be on its wey from the state
department at Washington to our minister
Ia England, in which it is demanded that
the encouragement given by the English
government, to the fitting out of piratiCal
vessels to plumber our commerce, shall
cease. We suppose the rumor to be true,
since that is the only course that our gov
e.ument can take with credit. The con-
nivance Of the British ministry with the
pirates is so palpable, aud it's consequences
to our trade are so mischievous, that the
most c1ld-bo0ded of politicians could hard
ly help speaking with energy on euchsH
prOvOcatiOn.
We will suppose such a message to have
been sent; the homer Of the county will
then require that the answer he given
without unnecessary delay. Is Great
Britain willing to fulfill her obligation Of
restraining her subjects tr N making open
war upon our commerce by sea, or does she
mean to continue the practice Of cOnuiy-
ance which she has fulluweG from the be
ginning Of the rebellion? That il the
question for her 10 decide, and the mischief
to our commerce which must ensue from
her further encouragement Of the pirates is
so great that wo must have her decision
Immediately,
II the British ministry hesifates or fal-
ters, our government can do no less than to
recall Hr. Adams from England and send
Lord Lyons home. 1t does not become cur
government to stand at the doors Of the
council chamber of the British ministry
cap in hand, whimp9ring the twentieth
supplicatOn for an interference with the
schemes of the pirates, which is but an act
of simple Justice to friendly nati9n. and
which government disposed TO deal fairly
with US would not have waited for us tC
ask, or at least would haze granted at the
first suggestion. 1t does not become al
any longer to hold diplomatic correspond
ence with a government 50 utterly regard
less of the rights Of other nations as the
refusal of so reasonable Is demand Will
show that Of Great Britain to be. On thi:
point there should not; in our judgment, be
q moments hesitation or delay. When
that step is taken, the next will be to de
eide on the mode Of redress. The recalling
Of our minister and the dismissal of Lore
Lyons will show that we are in earnest, ant
there will then be time enough to deliber
ate on further measures.

A False Charge.

Because Democrats dissent from the pol
i,y of The Administration, Abolition pa
pers charge that they are opposed to the
Government, aud opposed to vigorous
prosecution of the war.
Now William II. Seward, the Presi- |
dents Secretary of State and the founder
of the Republican party, in q late letter to
our Minister to England, took on entirely
different view Of this matter. lie declared
that "ln this country especially i. is o
habit not only entirely consistent 1rih the
constitution, but even essential 10 its StaJil>
iiy, to regard the Administration at airy
time existing as distinct and separate from
the Government itself and to canvass the
proceedings Of one without a thought of dis
loyalty to the other" These views of the
Secretary Of State are sound. and hence
Democrats in opposing the Administration
and exposing its corruption, usurpations,
/ and violations of the constitution, are not
opposing but sustaining the Government
And relative to the charge of opposing
/ a vigorous prosecution of the war, brought
agai inst d ,mocrsts by the Abolition press,
| it is hardly necessary to offer denial,
where the facts ere 50 obyious. What
Democrats opunsa is ,iast what has proven.
ted vigorous and successful prosecution
Of the war-that which has paralized all
OR own efTorts, ami given energy and
strength to the enpmy-that which has di
gii1d the North n:d united the Sluth-
Democrats arr una,erab'y oprosed to the
real purpose and aim to which tie war is
now directed, which can only result in
ruin to the country.
But to the protection Of the Govern
mcnt, the maintenance OF the constitution
and the restoration of the Union, every
true Democrat is ready to devote himsel
and all he has. 1t is Atolitiousm and
not tho Government, ard violations o
