For the Kdzoo Democrat.


Mr.. EDITOR.-War under any circum.
stances, even in defence Of life or property
is heavy calamity, and should not be in.
duced from slight or trivial causes-but ali
honorable means used whereby It may be
avoided. But the cringing policy which
would sooner pay for our right than de.
mand it, is calculated to produce ratherthan
prevent war-and peace obtained at such a
sacrifice ofhonor and right costs too much,
to be enjoyed or desired. War may make
desolate our hearth stones, but they may be
rendered cheerful again--it may lay waste
fine plantations--but they can again be
cultivated--it may depOPulate whole dis
tricts If country--but they may again be
