EXCITEMENT IN PITTSUURG.—The term of
imprisonment ofccrtain liquor dealers who were
convicted in Pittsburdof violations of the law,
having expired on Saturday last, a large crowd
of their friends and sympathizers assembled at
the jail to greet them upon their release. Af
ter their discharge, a procession was formed,
with music, he., and the prisoners conveyed in
triumph through the principal sirects. It is
understood that all the liquor dealers intend
selling as usual, in order that the number or
complaints may be so increased as to clog the
business of the Courts until the repeal of the
law.
The English War Panic,
The foreign noire by the steamer Pacific,
shows that the London Times has raised quite
an excitement by its gasconade against this
country, and developes the fact that the British
people are neldi,,posed to war with 11118 cone
try. One thing must be borne in mind by the
citizens of each country, which is, that their re
•speetive governments have their own reasons
for directing public attention from internal of
fairs to fancied external difficulties. The ad
ministration of General Pierce has lost nil pre
stigo and nothing can nwaken a feeling in its
favor unless the national sentiment is aroused
at some supposed indignity from Great Britain.
A war fever here would avert attention from
the Kansas question and help to reconstruct the
broken down Democratic party. We must re•
gard with great suspicion, therefore, all Lehlig
erent movements of the administratitin and its
organs. We have not the least fear of ditlieul•
ty with England, there is nothing to quarrel a
botit, and the press is degrading itself when it
attempts to disturb the pacific relations of the
two countries. Our readers will find in anoth
er column one of the articles train the London

ry great commotion, but really, with Sir Chas.

To James Gowist, Esq., l'reßident of the State

Demi Stm--You have already learned by
our short report, made in compliance with the
rezulatious of your society, that it is less than
one year since our first organization.
.
. Because of the apathy of many of our good
citizens as regards Agricultural Improvements
we met ,with some discouragement, in our first
effort. :slimy had been in the habit of follow.
ing footsteps of the good fathers who had spent
their energies in felling the forest and in do.
ing those things only which were necessary to
feed, clothe and protect their offspring and
leave to them those desirable habitations which
they now enjoy for further development.
But laboi mg almost against hope we proceed
to make nrrai:emenis for m County Pair,
which was held on this 10th, 11th, 12th, days

channel the irregular energies of those ardent
spirits which have appeared so long to burn fur
an enterprise worthy of their courage.
At the same time, the British Government,
while establishing depots for enlistment within
its own dominions on the Amerieun continent
gave the most stringent orders that nothing
should ho done in the endeavor to obtain re

However, it uohappily soon became only too
apparent that the American Mmkter mud the

sympathies of the land of freedom were found

peal to the conviction of our readers whether
these trainsactioes do out disclose on the past of
our own Government a most comment:aisle
spit-it ol' fer'seartmee and moderation, - and on
lit port of the G‘wernment ofthe United States
a desire to force upon US a quarrel at a period
when we may welt be supposed to desire, above
all things, the continuance of our present kiwi
dk relations.
We do not appeal to our own countrymen,
fur there is nu ono in England who line soy
other feeling to the United States than that of
of amity and goodwill, or who would re s sea a
rupture with them as other than a heavy and
grievous ealamity, to be averted by all houura•
ble means. But we appeal to the respectable,
intelligent, and honorable portion of the Amer
ican community, whose influence we aro sorry
to see not very apparent in the present pro
ceedings of their Government, whether they
will submit to see the alliance—we might call
it the union—between the two countries radon•
gored, and the vast interests of a commerce re.
ciprocally benelicial imperilled, for the sake of
obtaining a little popularity for a political par
ty, and influancing, sa however slight a degree,
the elections of the ensuing year. Surely such
matters as the continuance of a good wider
standing between England and America ought
to be too grave for such heartless triflin q g•.
We cannot doubt there lain the United States
a large number of persons standing aloof from
the litorinv coellicts of political lite, 'who are
yet not willing to abandon the guidance or the
vessel of the State in a moment so critical as
the present to the rash and inconsiderate bandit
which are driving her straight upon the break
ers.
We trust that no word may fall from us to
aggravate the ill•fecliug which has been so
untortnnately excited, or to embitter a quarrel
which it is only due to our Government and
people to say they have done nothing to pro•
coke, and are willing to do everything coasts•
tent with honor to allay.
We cannot believe, notwithstanding the ex•
traordioary language.and conduct ot• tho Ame•
ricau Government, that they can really wish to
drive matters to the extremity towards which
they are urging them so recklessly, but it is',
dangerous to sport with the ensroptibilities of
two bravo nod high-spirited nations; and those'
who ore thus eager in letting out thu writers of
strife should consider well whether they have

have opened.
