War with England.

The late uews looks like fight
with England. Oar congress is die
cussing eur ability to make the Brit
ish Lionhowl, and Canada as n pre-
caution ANY measure has ordered 80
companies to our frontiers. Thes
movements on this question will be
watched with interest. Our COVER
..ment (Abc1 does not mention E"g-
land in his message. and it is well
know that our diplomacy with that
power is rot tatis'artuy, A lew
regiments of niggers sent up north
however, would play the devil With

What the decision in regard tC

to disguise the tact that majority o

Such sympathy is ielt not only by

who, il Their words may he believed

sympathy is not sc much the result
OF friendship for the Williams them
