English statesmen at the proper time to
see that the quarrel is not allowed to hang
over till it quits American convenience

words cannot be mistaken. 1t is simply
that England shall deliberately make war
upon US now, when our hands are, IN
measure, tied-shall make war without
cause. without plausible pretext even
without an attempt to justify the act,
either in the eyes of our own people or OF

in harmony with all the world. If the
peace is ever broken between ourselves
and her, it will be because she insists up
on being our enemy. It will be our aim
as soon as the rebellion is put down to
cultivate friendly relations with our neigh

the pursuits of peace. II John Bull ap-
