Our country is now menaced on all
sides with war---by Mexico. England and
Brazil; yet to quiet observer our young
republic presents the same slolid indifer-
ence TO fear that Admiral Howe is said
to have evinced, when once hastily ava
kened i'll the middle of the nigh, by the
lieutenant of the watch, who informed
him, with grea! agitation, that the ship
was on fire near the magazine. '.ll' that
be the cass," said he, rising leisurely to
put on his clothes, awe shall soon hear
another report of the matter" The lieu
tenant few back to the scene of danger,
and almost instantly returning, exclaimed,
"Y ou need not, Sir, be afraid; the fire is
extinguished." sAfraidn exclaimed Howe,
"wha, do you mean by that, sir? Inever
was afraid in my liie," and looking the
Lieutenant full in the face, he added

is afraid? need not ask how he looks"

moment 10 some ofhis young lIeutenants
The tone of public sentiment, as it meets
the senses, is all of the same shade. With
the United States, such Thing as fear is
no where traceabe. The motto carly
laid down, and reIigiously observed, Of
asking nothing but what is clearly righ,
aud of submitting to nothing wrong, has
fortified the nation agains, every conse-
quence or contingency; aud while all may
deplore the evils of war, the United
States knows no such thing as fear.
