We are quick to look out for foreign danger. In that great city, what a strong and uni- versal sensation has existed, lest a rupture with a foreign government should derange hs commerce, injure its trade, diminish its profits and its felicity ; while at the same time, there was httle thought, that it contained within itself the prepared ele- ments of a more terrible disaster! Such elements were all there. They waited only the bidding of God to come forth and lay her pride in the dust ! The very... merchandize, from which industry and enterprize make their gain, can easily be turned by God into fuel, to burn down with more dreadful conflagration the very edifices that contain it ! It needed no war with France to spread desolation from street to street. God has other agents, than the thunder of artillery, the embattled legions, and the whetted sword. He can turn our very pride into an enemy. He can bid the fire, and at his biddhig our choice possessions, our rich stores of merchandize, our clothing and our food shall feed 11 the flames, and add to our danger !
