ernment, than we had previously been en
abled to infer from the language 'of her
leading politicians. The. proviuhle- cau
tion and moderatioryrai the statesmen, who
shape the policyrtd control the action of
the British Government, when treating
of their relations with foreign Powers, un
til they arihemselves' prepared to strike

saryis about to let slip the dogs of war,'-'
(lpnot justify, we think, the assumption, so
confidently based upon the pacific tem
per ol Lord Aberdeen's remarks, that there
is no reason to apprehend a hostile collis
ion between, Great Britain and the. U. S.
Especially do we regard thisassumption as
.'unfounded, when we recur to the editori
al columns of the London Times, the ac
knowledged organ of Lord Aberdeen, and
frequently a much fairer exponent of his
real sentiments, than his own speeches
and see' in them language, if not entirely
irreconcileable with the rriild temper ex
hibited by the Secretary foir the Foreign
Department in the House iof Peers, cer
tainly by no means in accordance with it.
We have already called the attention
of our readers lo the decisive position as
sumed by the Times of the 17th and 18th
of March, received by the Unicorn. But
an article in that paper of the 23d of that
monh, js perhaps even more worthy of
atcntioji. Referring to the great, chan
ges proposed in the commercial systems
of the two countries, and to the supposed
tendency of those changes to render peace
more desirable to the ipeople and to the
governments of both, the Times, in a la
bored article, shows, as1 well bv historical
reminiscences, as by argument, the falla
ciousness ol hll expectations based upon
that presumption ; and it remarks, with
peculiar significance and emphasis, that
while it j will be happy ' to meet Mr. Polk
more than half way in! what it is pleased
to call h)s "commercial reforms," (nnd so
advantageous are these 44 reforms," to
British interests, that wie do not for a mo

the Raleigh managers of the Democracy
of the State, treated him rather shabbily
upon the whole, considering lhat he is one
of their very best and most worth) lend
ers, and a man undoubtedly, of greater
weight of character than th one upon
whom they chose to confer the honor of
standard bearer, in the contest now just
commenced. It is not good policy to ex
alt rt young soldier by conferring upon
him ;th honors that legitimately belong to
his senior. This injustice the Loco? have
done by attempting to horn off Mr. Leak
for the benefit of James B. Shepard, who
is. comparatively a young man, and of
f?rt!a!biliiies. "
But'with this family jar we have noth
ing to do. They may fight and scratch
among themselves to their heart's content,
and the Whigs should endeavor, in the
while,!; to attain a position from whence,
in thend, they may look down securely,
at the closing of the scene ; and if there
is any laughing to be done, they may do
their share of It.

The leading topic of the hist week has been the
Suh. treasury Bill. There is one specially no
ticeable fact connected with the discussion .f
this measure, and that is, the unusual unanimity
with which if is condemned by the business men j
of the country by ihose who are likely lo un

Whatever diversity of opinion they m y enter-
