The prolouged stay of Mr. Crampton in Washington is said to be due to bis moderation. Now, the it state of affairs sects to be, that Mr. Marcy has so far yielded as to join tn the Sate, a pealtive demand fur Mr. Cramp on’s recall. ‘The Pree: nd Attorney General wished the demand to be cat ical and 20 to necessitate a rupture, but Mr. Marcy is suid to have prevailed ro far se to frame it to & manner which will aliow of further, corresponden se. have thus # proof of the temper which rules the men 00 whom the destivies of the two nations for the time de . ‘rem ibis Sescription, of rey aah za nelore be correct, it is impossible not t2 draw a o favor of our own government. We are the lev re erved in doing #0, because the worst that can be said agaiost their own politicians always comes from the lips ef Ame- rieans, Jii# po wvention of the British press that Sena- tora snd Sscretaries of State are ready to bring their mation to tbe brink of war in or¢er to prolong their owa power or embarrass their eucressors. Even the phrase S political eapital,”? which so well expresses what is d by such eourses, is not of English origin. The im thé Senate, which was ip prog:ess when the last steamer left, will probably be full of the uanal ia- vectives against Epgiand, The antipashies of the old and tbe en'busisem of the yourger speakers will soth find vent io ¢efance to this country. Tne Awerican putlic, we leara, is pretty well aware of wast ach speaker will sey, and we are happy to believe tha: some of the most acrimonious will heve but Bittle weight. Yet it cannot be doubted that the accusations will be many, and the apolo- gies few. We cannot, however, but think that such ap exhibition will lessen the character of the American Senate by its strong contrast to the moderation and good cenge of our own representatives. Even in the opinion Americans ot thore men must sink who taik of war only through a belief that their words will be without effect, and who, perhaps, are only suffered s> to declaix by the indifference of their con! ; for tit au ny mie Gieputes shou'd involve two such nations i4 a struggl ich would be fought out on every xea, we cannot be- Heve. Although it does not lessen the demerit of those who tamper with international good will, yet we, io com: men with almost all Englishmen, think ‘hat the boads of eommod language and civilization are too strong to be Broken by a dissension to which nine-tenths on both sides Of the Atlantic are totally indifferent. Not through any fear of war, for Sngland was never so strong or so well prepared as now, but from sincere love of paace and its inestimable benefits, we trust that American s‘atesmen will be actuated by the same spirit which our own rulecs have chown.

But the conduct of the actual chiefs of rcaction can in mo way be accountea for; for having regeived oxly proofs ot es- teem aut confidence, they repaid the government with acts of Ceep falsehood and supreme dirioyalty.

From the day when, ‘ip the middie of las: year, his Excellency tne President marched towards Michoacan as Geueral-in-Chief of the army of the interior, the revoluiion assmmed a new aspect, aud public opinion, a4 just a# uniiora, proclaia- ed bimas the man on whom the hope of the country rested. How did it happen that « few days ater t vernment had been installed, the reaciuonary Segan to rise against him who by all jes bi contidered as the strongest pillar ot liber justice? Tue explanation of thisis very simple. Althougn the liberal pa: tertained the same cov fidence merly in the politica! prineipiee of his President Subdstitu'e; aluhough the large ents confided tranquiliy in bis morality and good inten- tions, the conquered did not find in the Minister of War the docile instrument they looked for in o:der vo achieve their unnatural projectr.

Ayutia destroy his own work, and, changed into the defender of the vanquished, disdain those whe bad ailed him in striking down tyranny. And as nothing of the kiad hep- pened, the reaction, whict does not regard the intercets of the country, but its own, mawing use ‘of a!l kinta of pre‘exte to advance the latter, raisel its banner against that of the people. At last the reactionary party sad the nation are placed face to face, and since nothing has wufficed to prevent the evil, let those who have vrought os imto sach a situation be rightly secured of these d jorazie resulte. The ooneitintory policy of his Exes ‘ney the President, his natural disposition to comcord, his constent desire not to proceed to ex‘remes, and even ‘the programme of the ministry, have been misconstrued d nto acte of weakness—the racrifices and sotevedents of the chief of the State being purposely cast into oblivien. It is, for the seme reason, indispensable to continue the war which the Mexican people have for so many years waged against their oppressore.

He bas no strengtl with democrats in this qvarter of the Union. He will ceive very little aid from such ot them as have joined th Know Nothing Icdges. Indeed his nominstion iguores th democratic wing of the Know Nothings, and edmonisae them that the Order. is to be used for the benefit of old farbioned whig and silvec gray politicians, and tuat de mocrata cannot expect due appreciation, but rather de preciation, at the hancs of its membe:s, Indeed it nite clear that no cemoorat, however abe and a tinguished, could have passed tue crdeal of the Phil delphia Convention.
