Had half the misery dispenesd to others, or the least portion of it, by the hands of the ruthless man, reached the family of this eloquent Senator; he would have felt a different emotion thrilling his manly bosom.? 5 ° .

We have confidence in Mr. Buonanan that he will not pander to the sentiment that would make either of the causes alluded to the pre text for difficulties with the great Powers with which we are now at peace.

None of the objects upon which our’ people are united could be promoted by such a catastrophe. It would not settle more Armly: the Romos doctrine. It would not secure to us more friendly re lations with Mexico. It would not make the ‘Isthmus ' of Nicaragua Jess hazardous ‘thin it has been.’ It would certainly lose to all that of Tehuantepec. But it wound the settle business, disorganize Congress, bankrupt the South, bankrupt the treasury, and throw it back for many years in the race of prosperity and civilization. .What' American desires to see such disasters brought upon us? Now is the time for statesmen. Politicians may talk war for their own selfish ends, and mistaken rulers nnsy took to it, as a rescue from a calamitous domestic, policy. But the masses see nothing in such a remedy but in conceivable wickedness, and woe be to those who shall..disregard the warnings of the times . ‘There is about as much necessity for war betwee this country ‘and any other Power, outside of Paraguay, act therepy between the sun and the moon, BY MIDNIGHT.
