and sudden and terrible emergencies,
which would have crushed any system
that had bcena less firmly fixed in the
heart of tho people. at the inauguration
of ashington the foreign relations Of the
country were few, and its trade was re-
pressed by hostile regulations; now all
the civilized nations ofthe globe welcome
our commerce, and their Governments
profess towards lis amity. Then our
country felt its way hesitatingly along
an untried path, with States so little bound
together by rapid means of communica-
ton as to be hardly known to one anoth-
er and with historic traditions extend
ing over very few years; now intercourse
between tho States is swift and intimate,
the experience of centuries has been
crowded into few generations, and has
created an intense, indestructblo nation
ality Then our jurisdiction did not
reach beyond the inconvenient bounda-
ries ofthe territory which had achieved
independence; now, through ccssions Of
lands, first colonizcd by Spain and France
the country has acquired more COM

limits the chain OF lakes, tho Cult of

The law which according to the English
View governs cases Of this Kind has been SO
clearly explained, and will be, doubtless, so
powerfully stated in answerto the American
demands, that there is no need for us to say
anything further on the sahject. Our point
is simply that nations in state of war must
protect their own interests, and cannot expect
neutrals to guard them from the operations of
the energy. 1t is enough for us to show that
nothing was done in bad faith by this country

A STANDING AaMy--This subject at the
present time appears to engross the public
attention to no inconsiderablc degree Many
writer's come out in lengthy essays both in
behalf of and against the propriety of such

can gather us to the future policy Of the Gov
ernment on this subject notwi.., .,nstanding the
gratuitous dissertations of ',arious writer's, it
appears to be the intep. .on for the time being
to limit the army r.etaincd in the service to

Beg~ On Monday the 18th inst, conven-
ton of delegates protesting to represent the
commercial interests of the United States and
Canada, assembled at Detroit, Michigan, pro-
.fessedly to consider the business relations be-
tween the two countries, and promote free
interchange of commodities-but practically,
in all probability, to prepare protest against
the repeal of the reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Canada. Quite likely
there will be no diversity of opinion on this
subject, between the Delegation from Wal
street, New York, headed by Monsieur Bel
mont, of Chicago notoriety, and the Canadi
ans;--as yet we are not in receipt of thei
proceedings.

To CORRESPONDENTS communication
of NJ. F. p. has been received some time since,
but unavoidably deferred We are in the re-
CENT of much matter in the same connection,
which we have been compelled to reject not
but that the subject has been well chosen and
the poems prepared with much ability, but for
the reason that we have not space for all, and
feel that it would be invidious to distinguish
between them. The production however of
NJ. f. p, under the circumstances alluded to
in her communication, will receive attention
the coming week.
The communication of WV. H., from North
Carolina, an able and elaborate production
was owing to some cause received too late fol
publication, the subject matter of which il
treats having been received from other chan
nels and published prior to its reception.
We are in receipt also of four several com
munications from NJ. T., which we are unable
to publish for similar reasons.
The production of "Queribcau," thougl
possessing much merit as composition, can
not under our rules obtain publication, it be
ing not only personal, but assailing partie
who in our estimation are not worthy of Ger
sure
The above and many other rejected con
munications will on demand be returned

EXERCISE OF THE PARDoSING PowER-
Lately the President has been importuned,
and has exercised the power vested in him
under the Constitution, in favor of numerous
rebels from the Cotton States, who but lately
were deriding and resisting the authority OF
the Government: which course of policy will
no doubt continue to be freely exercised by
the Executive in all like classes of cases
while on the leading active remorseless rete
he will visit the utmost penalty of the law. II
the exercise of this power, we are not among
those who entertain fears that the Presiden
will exceed the proper bounds.

the intelligence of q proposed formal display
Of the iron clad portions of the English and
French navies on the coast of either country,

Yankee nation with some useful thoughts OH
the subject of the supposed union pretended
to exist between these ancient loving neigh
bors, and Of their naval power, in the event a
war should take place between the respective
Governments,-a pretty menace this and
about as cordial as the friendship claimed to
exist between them Also, we learn through
the same channel, that arrangements have
been perfected between the British Govern
ment and Canada for the construction of de-
fences in the latter country in the event OF
war, which we presume may be looked upon
in the same light; and we are also in the re,
ceipt of the outspoken sentiments of England
prominent statesmen in Parliament on the
subject of complications, real or imaginary
supposed to exist between the two countries
All this clustering and effort at the play Of
menace will have no more influence on .oul
Government in the discharge of the duties in
cumbent upon it, than though the words ut
tered had not been said, Or the menace had
not been given: the course, the tendency Of
our country is onward, and is not to be arrest
ed for one moment, any more than by storms
or tempests or by sunshine, in the discharge
of the duties incumbent upon it. =.
