THE last letters from the seat of Government, breathe more of War than any preceding ones : But we hope appearances will not be realized-
The merchants are averse to War, notwithstanding their losses-
The farmers have too long tasted the sweets of tranquility, to exchange them for the wormwood of War-
The interests of the Mechanics are intimately connected with Peace--
To the monied and landed interests, War must be their greatest aversion-- and what can professional men expect by their country's being involved in it ? Who then can advocate War ?
Nevertheless, let Americans never tamely suffer injuries.-
First let them demand indemnification-
If it is refused, then take it.
