There is no little interest manifest
ed just now In the reported alliance
of the courts of Great Britain, France
and Spain against the United States.
or ITS truth there can be but little
doubt.
Well, what of 1t 2
70 this the New York Tribune
answers:
Such q coalition would be confes-
sion of conscious weakness on the
part of Great Britain as we'll as Spain.
The weak combine to match the
strong. Western Europe seeks to
read US the admonition originally
given 10 her by Russia. She evinces
her readiness to light the flames of a
new Crimean war.
If she had us involved In war she
might do 1t; but we are at peace, and
(unless assailed) will remain so. 1t
will hardly do to fall upon us with
out q pretext; and this we shall take
care not to afford. Sending i'm your
bill for damages injured or services
rendered does not justify violent as
sault and battery. To Kick the bear
or out. and order him never to show
his face again, is the utmost show of
resentment that consists with deco
rum.
We shall not he attacked unless we
show further provocation but we
may as well realize the d,tinlus OF the
coalition and be on our guard against
it's clearer, more decisive exhibition.
The potentates of Western Europe
do not like us; they do not rejoice in
our manifest increase of power and
prestige; they would like to give us
"a lick back" if they had fair and
safe opportunity. Let us clearly
comprehend them, and so carry our
selves that the shafts of their malice
will hurtle idly by or fall harmless
at our feet.
The wise counsels embodied by
Washington in his Farewell Address
~ To the entaRgfements and compri-
cations of European politics, win be
freshly recalled by the new alliance
against us. We shall be taught by it
TO become more and more American
i'm our policy, our sympathies, and
cur aspirations. Europe sends us
httle besides robust. Industrious en-
Jgrants that we might not better do
without-little that we are not i'm
poverished by taking. Let us, then,
withdraw ourselves more aud more
from any connection from her inter-
ests and her aspirations. If We build
more steamships, let us run them to
American ports, and so build up our
mechanical industry at home and
draw larger and larger supplies of
raw staples from our less skilful
neighbors in the West Indies and on
the Spanish Main.
The coalition is, at once confession
of weak ness aud u prophesy of defeat.
1t is felt at length in Europe that all
America north of the Isthmus of
Darien gravitates toward us with a
force that cannot long be resisted.
There is not an acre of land between
Hudson's Bay and Nicaragua that
would not be sensibly increased in
value by the incorporation of the
country whereof it Is part into our
Union. There is no outlaying dis
trict that would not confidently ex-
pect q speedy increase of its popula-
ton, its industry, and its wealth, if
10 were this day annexed to the
United States. "The stars i'm their
course" are stronger than any dynas-
tic coalition, as the future will show.

A distinguished Methodist Minis
ter and prominent Temperance Lee
turer once remarked that go where
he would from one end ofthe country
to the other, he hardly ever failed to
find Plantation Bitters, and while he
condemned the practice of using
these Bitters too freely. he could not
conscientiously say that he would
discard them from the side board, for
he had himself experienced benefi-
cial results from their use, and that,
from long and close observation, he
was convinced that when used mode
rately, and as medicine exclusively,
they were all that was recommended.
At the same time he warned his
hearers not to pull the cork too often,
for they were far too pleasant a tonic
to trifle with.
