The leading article Of "The Union'' of Thurs
day night begins in manner calculated to frighten
weak minds, and, indeed until the npshot Of il is
ascertained by further perusal, is sufficient to star
tie even sound intellects. We give the first few
lines as taste of its quality


j" "MoMESroUs. stop the press that we may give to
the American people without single days dey the follow
ing extract just put into hands, The writer gentle
of the purest patriotism and Of great ability He is not
connected with missions abroad but he never writes upon
any subject on which he is not accurately informed" &C.


What follows purports to be " an extract from
private letter from an American citizen now in Eu-
rope, dated London, April Is, ls46;' and consists
OF speculations of the writer concerning the dura-
tion Of the Peel Ministry, and fearful predictions OF
the effect Of its dissolution upon the Oregon con-
troversy.


The whole manner and substance of the letter,
with its stupid abuse Of tile Senate of the United
States, and its laudation of the President induce
the belief that the good nature Of the government
editor has been imposed upon by gross fabrication
OF domestic origin. Certain it is, that no Amer-
can gentleman of great ability" or accurately
informed could have written such letter from
London, unless as jeu Pesprif--or, in other
words, hoax.
