That it is waged not, itt vi l.etion of the rights of othensbut in the maintenance of our own. Tl ish h was preceded by a patience without. ex ample, under wrongs-accumulatin.Cwith out end; and that it was finally not de clared until every hopo of averiin it-was extinguished; .brt he -transfer"Of t he' Brit ish sceptre into new hands c'inging to former councils, and until declarations were reiterated to the last hour through the British artny here, that the hostile edict against our maratime commerce would sot be revoked ;. ntly,,that they could not be-revolted without violating 'the obligationS'of Great Britain to other powers, as well as to her own interests.— To have shrunk, under such circtunstan ces, front manly .resistance, would have been a degradation blasting our best and proudest . hopes; it wou!d have struck us tram the high tank, where ► he e irt nous struggles of our fathers had placed .us, and have betrayed the inagtacent lega cy-which we bold-in fruit fon future gen erations. " It, would have acknowledged, .t hat on the element' Which forms three fourths of the globe that we inhabit, and where all independent nations have equal and com mon rights, the American people were not an indepreshmt people, hut colonists and vassals. It was at this moment, and with such an alternative, that war was chosen. Ttie nation felt the necessity of it, and called fitr it. The appeal we accordingly made in a just cause, to the aIL-powerful Being who holds ; in His hand the chain of events and the destiny of nations. Ever ready to accept peace front the hand of justice, we prosecute the war, with uni ted consuls, until per - ice' be go-obtained; and as the only means under Divine bles sing of so obtaining it." To this - address of President Madison, we give the following facts from Lossing's History of the_ sited States, every asser tion of which will •be tyroven by extracts from docuthents publiShedduring the war. Mr. Lossing7says r„. .1 •:7 "The war had been declared only after long suffering and patient attempts to procure redreds without a resort to arms. A minority of the people of the Republic were m favor of this method of- vindica ting their national honor antHmiepen ticnce, and their representatives bad made the declaration. It e was therefore unpat riotic to cast obstacles in the way. Yet it was done with fearful effect. The more deSperate opponents. of the iviir and, the administration, politicians whom true pa triots despised, formed a ' peace party,' avowedly for the purpose of einharras'smg the' government, and compelling it to make peace wilt Great Britain on any terms. They controlled the press eaten-' sivrly, and - through it -they operat cd pow erfully on the puf; is mind. They decried national. vitgorics, and magnified those of the licitist. They used every exertion to destroy the public, credit. They dis couraged public loans, promoted smug gliin and in every conceivable way gave aid and comfort to the enemy without perfltrming overt acts of treason. Many of the clergy and magistrates arrayed themselves ngaite.t, the govern ment;disunion was openly advocated, and when the brave soldier- of the %Vest had fallen at she Raisin and at; the Thames in conflict with the savages of the forest breughtlniainst them by the Brit ish, said a I..VD: at .

These arc the clergy who have helped to put the same people under the heels of a military despotism because they refused to change our free government into a tnottaitchy; New England; who with her Puritan clergy iLopen 7 y advocated disunion ; who stood in an attitude of 1)111 rein-M.)li against the national government during the greater portion of the war," loves England just as well to day as then. For the love of-Englind she forced the South into seceision. ,For England she fought four years to keep the &Ault out of the Union. For love of England, and her in stitutions of monarchy and artst..craey, shy is fighting to-day against t lie free gov ernment establitatecl by Wa-Isington and preserved and perpetuated by Jefferson and Madison, Monroe and Jackson. To prove that the Federalists who op posed the war of 1812 against Great Bri tain, were tories,and that the Republicans who have put the South under a mi , itary d. Fi.cit ism are of the same party, we have but to read the sermons and docuMents writ ten by the riot sof 1176. The Re publicans have treated the Southern peo ple from first to last precisely as the Brit ish tyrants treated the Americans, and vet they demand that these same peop!e. shah live them a lid be kyal to them. Why, they themselves are the distoyalits and traitors. One . of the patriot clergy of 1776, Dr. Stites, President of Yale Col kge, says in 1783: " Oh, England, how I did once love thee! How did I once glory in thee ! I did once boast of springing from thy bowels ! But uow, fare w el,— T a long fare well to all thy greatness ! A political earthquake through the continent !lath shook off Anierica from Great Britain.— We once thought Britain our friend; and gloried in her protection. 0, how Rain ful and distressing the separation and dis memberment, Witness, all ye patriotic breasts, all ye lovers of our country, once lovers of Great Britain ; witness the ten der sensation, the sorrow with which ye were penetrated when spurned front a pa rent's love! Can we ever love Britain again? Can we forget the conflagration of Charlestown, Norfolk, Esopus, Fair field, and other American towns laid in ashes by a Tryon and other incendiaries? Were these the kindnesses American brethren received from the hands of Bri tons and their more crud associates, the Indians and loyalists? "Can we be soothed by being told that this is the fate of war? As well may in quisitorial cruelties be soothed by alleg ing that they are salutary corrections,and necessary fer the good of the church. Our enemies took occasion from this fate of war to wreak their vengeance, and to lash us with a severity too unmerciful ev er to be forgot ten." Reflections for for February. Stibteraneons Fires.

He was a dapper, thin little man, stithe , thing under five feet high, with a gkisliy black wig, closely trimmed side whiskers' and costume so &flatly neat that he - re= minded you of a shining black cat ! He took a Turkish bath in the morning, and a Russian bath in the evening; he came home to dinnCr at twelve precisely, and' went to bed at eleven at night, his hoota standing at the foot of his bed, and his stockings at the head, and his wig eleva ted on the gas fixture, and every chair in the room Standing at right angles with the wall I It was high noon on a sparkling, win. dv, March day when Major Teller came home to the antique, down town board ing house, where he had vegetated for the last t wenty years, and went to his own room to Lrnsh his wig for the mid day meal. Opening the door he stumbled over an obstacle that Was in the way: "Oh, I beg your pardon, I=m sure," said the Major, turning very red, recov ering his footing with difficulty. It was Miss Patience I'ettit.ew, on her hands and knees, cleaning off the oilcloth at the door. Now the Major was afraid of Miss I'a. Bence—afraid of her as the pump lamb fears the gaunt wolf, or the unotlending robin the dire serpent. .Miss Patience wa4 tall, lean and sallow, but she curled her hair, and wore an art ificiaL rose over her left ear, and sang with whistlim , tones to a little spindle legged piano, and firmly believed that if she only waited a little while longer she should get married to somebody And because the Major sat opposite her at the table—Mi-s Pa tience helped her widowed sister "keep house," and served out the gravy end sauces—and regarded her artilieial rose and bear's grease curl with a sort of fear ful fascination, Miss Patience somehow opined that she should one day, Cupid wiling, become Mrs. Major Tel er. :‘ It's of no consequence, Major," said Miss Patience, recovering her piece of soap which had skirmished out to the middle of the carpet. " I hope your fire isn't out." "Thank you, ma'am, it is very good." " I do wonder, Major," said Miss Pa tience, with a premonitory giggle, " why you never get married ?" The ➢ajar retired precipitately behind the coal scuttle, and made no reply. " You'd be so much more comfortable, you know," added Miss Patience, w,ing• ing out her woolen cloth and looking so lovingly on the M j it that he retreated still further in to his wardrobe, where among the swinging (fligies of coats and trowsers he felt comparatively safe. Miss Patience hesitated a moment, and in that moment the Major felt all the an ticipatory agonies of being pursued, cap tured, brought forth, and possibly married before he could get breath to remon strate ! Bait she finally took up her pail and A.:till:died. • "Dear me, that was a narrow escape," thought our hero, emerging from his sanctuary. "Some day she'll be too much for me. Perhaps I'd better change my boarding place. Yes—that will be the on lysafet y. I suppose I couldn't very well have her sworn over to keep the peace, and really, there's no saying' what a determined woman of fitly may not do. I'd look out fJr a new place to morrow." Dear me, Major, you have no tippet it e," said Miss Patience sweetly, at the dinner t Mo, ma'am," said the Major. "i'ry to eat a little—just to please me, Major." " Don't you know, Majqr, that people will say that you are in love, if you don't rat more?" smiled the antiquated spin ster. This was more than our hero could en dor ; he rose op and left Miss Pettigrew victor of the wordy field. I won't go back to that house if I can bell) it," thought the Major, brushing the cold dew front his forehead with a dim sun silk pocket handkerchief. " her in tentions are serious, I know they are." And the Maj.tr, in his inermost soul re viewed the catechism and hymns he had learned as a child; trying to think . if there were not some invocations particularly suited to an elderly gentleman in great peril and perplexity. • Bev he could not remember anything appropriate to-. his particular case, 4 .

"Give me the key to the room, my dear," said Mrs. Patience Teller, "1 had better keep it in the future." " We'd dick up things a little," said Mrs.Teiler, bundling the Major's beloved papers together, and pitching his box of cigars out of the window. " But, Miss Patience—" 44 W hat ?"

The Nov York Sun , now edited by Mr. - Dana; late of the icago Republican, an extreme radical, thus speaks of the Western Democratic candidate for Presi dent. It says: "The Democracy in the great States of the West have declared themselves, with singular accord, in favor of the Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, as their Presidential candidate. It is a choice which does honor to their judgment. Mr. Pendleton is a gentleman, accomplished, endowed with tine mariners an superior abilities, bold and manly in the-,declara tions of his opinions, skilled in public of fairevand superior to low intrigue and partisan dishonesty. It he were Presi dent, he would administer the Govern ment in a perfectly respectable matfher, in accordance with his principles. He has also the great advantage of having ideas that belong to the present day. Ile does not, like so m uiy others, grind over the„ resolutions of f 798, or confine himself to asserting the policy he Eidvceated ten years ago. These new ideas of his .are briefly; that the five twenty bonds should Lie paid in greenbacks, and not in specie, and that the la hole Government debt should he subject to taxation. These are propositions that find melt favor, espe cially in the Western States, and it is not surprising that they should have added to the well founded popularity of their au thor."
