NEW YORK PAPER ON AMERICAN JINGOIRM, -
The following article from the New York Evening Post is very much to the point
What constitutes the gravity of the prest crisie is not that we are issuing a commission of inquiry concerning matters of doop intarest to us, but that we are issuing it as hostile pro- goeding, with a throat of war bobind it What we are going to investigate, therefore, is not whether there. is wrong on the British side, but what is the artent of the wrong. Weary asking tec, a first-class power to acknowledge our right to trace her frontist in defienso of her own qlaims and in forritory which does not belong to as Is there any way out of this but

It is this belief that Great Britain will submit, to anything rather than fight which in our oyas constitutes the real danger of the situtation.

For we might have ascertained the rights and wrongs of the Yonezuelan matter officially and' for our own information; in ufiriendly spirit in civil language, and without threats or foregone non elasions. But in our way of asking for the evidence we have in the same breathe kaowledged our ignorance of the facts and insulted one of the parties.

No-first-class power could possibly take notice at our commiss sion, or appear before it, or pay may attention to its flailing, after the way in which it has been presented to it.
In our belief, therefore, it is the duty of all patriotic men, and especially of business men, tho work of congratulating the President on his atupendous felly being over, to come down ti basiness, and see what is the fprospect which they have to face in the probable event of war with Great Britain. Most of those who aro hollering" to-day probably fancy that we shonid all, baring the fighting, meu, find our selves as comfortable in such a war in the o with the South-that is, within active basies, plenty of money, open ports, full theatres, and ex ciling "orras."

The war, unlike our last, will be at naval war, and the inferiority of our maval forces. is so great that we have the unthority of the General the army, in his last report, for saying that our navy could not possibly provent the blockade of our whole coast within ten days, and the levying of ranson on every one of pus Atlantio cition, including New York, on pain of bambardment.

Not only would en ports be closed and our cresting pado aopped, bat a foreign tale of about 21,000,000,000 on which our agricultars and manufacturing industry are largely dependent, if not for maccess, for prosperity, would cease al ou blow Inimigration and travel world both come to an end, and the national mind would be wholly tarned away from civilizing agencies, from frade, commerce, surranay, and manufactures, from art, literature, and science, and be concen trated on the accounts in the extras of the daily work of slaughter and destruction and the gendast rising of the tide of barbarisu. The forcel cessation, ton of work in overy-eart of enterpriso, either through want of confidence of the loss of markets, would fill every town in the country with farions nemployed, with their heads full of socialisms, and part, and a large part, of the work of our tcoope would be the protection of rall roads, factories, and princialy mansiones from the allooks of hungry mobs,; One of the delusions of the Jingoes has been for years that in fighting England we should be able to make up for our natal inferiority by attacks on her comederos at rea. This was true, in a mesura, of the war of 1812. But, if there be any thoughtful suen among Jingo, they will remember that the whole conditions of maritime intorcourse have changed since then and that this weapon of offenos has been practically taken away from us by the substitu tion of steam for sailing vessels. Merchant Vessels are now steamers, and have to be chased by steamers, and we have no swift ones and no coaling-stations on the track of British com merce:
