THE AMERICANS HAVE NOTHING TO FIGHT ABOUT. —To send Mr. Crampton home is nothing. It is not a war measure ; it is a peace movement. It will be the removal of the everlasting enlistment difficulty from the two troublesome negotiators, Palmerston and Marcy. The people of England care nothing for it ; we care nothing fir it. It is a matter of police with us, just like any other violation of our laws. Mr. Crampton once out of the way, and the laws have been vindicated. England cannot recall him, because he only obeyed orders; we can dismiss him ; and it is probable that the true men in England sincerely desire that it may he done. Thera are some nervous and weak people who have confounded such a proceeding with offensive and warlike measures. That is great folly— there is not a speck of war in it. It amounts to nothing but an act of our own internal administration, with which England has no concern. We send her agent home, saying to her Majesty, c‘ Mr. Crampton has violated our laws, and in doing so, in a Government solely of laws, his example cannot be tolerated ; we therefore send him back to you. What we do is to protect ourselves, to execute our statutes, and to preserve the integrity of our institutions." There is no war in this ; it is food for silly alarmists that is all. Again, the Belize colony is another affair which is said to threaten war. If so, will somebody tell us how it is to come about I Eogland disputes with us on the Clayton treaty ; but she offers to refer the matter to an umpire of our own choosing. War, then, must come" of our declaration by Congress ; for, if resorted to, it must be to dislodge Greatßritain in the Belize. That declaration must be made after we shall have rejected the proffered arbitration. Now, there is such a thing ;is an absurdity; at least there is with those who express fears of a war on such a basis. Nothing can be more silly —nothing more preposterous. Even Marcy and Palmerston, who have been playing for the stakes, have never thought of war. They are annoying trickster, and selfish bunglers, but they know that no harm will come of the dispute. We have just witnessed the termination of the great Russian war. The protocols of the Conference at Paris we have already published. They bespeak peace to the world. They write the history of the last war. They tell the story of that agency in settling disputes, and proclaim to mankind that it is a murderous process at best, doing endless injury—doing nobody any good. The Paris Conference has become the underwriters of nations, assuring peace, and inaugurating the reign ell industry throughout the world for many years to come —perhaps fur ever. Ships and railroads are to take the place of forts, and internal commerce is to unite the nations into one great social family, and to give the law to their political intercourse. Political revulsions in the domestic concerns of nations will be, doubtless, of frequent recurrence ; but such things only indicate the progress of the people in matters of local government—..he gradual encroachment of the popular upon the aristocratic power of the nations. We have no serious dispute with England, nothing to estrange the two nations from each other, certainly nothing to quarrel about. In the Crampton and Belize matters there does not appear to be a point of possible collision.—Nets York Herald. [
