YANKEE SPLEEN.—The New York Herald says :
" Fearing the powerful Republic, its increase, its stability,
and its future greatness—and knowing herself to be
powerless to oppose any obstacle in its way—this wicked,
atrocious, and diabolical Government (England) has em-

'tis the most pleasing flattery to like what other Men like:
'Tis most undoubtedly true that all men are equally given
to their pleasures ; only thus, one man's pleasure lies one
way, and anothers's another; pleasures are all alike,
simply considered in themselves ; he that hunts or he that
governs the commonwealth; they both please themselves
alike, only we commend that whereby we ourselves receive
some benefit. As if a man place his delight in things that
tend to the common good ; he that takes pleasure to hear
sermons enjoys himself as much as he that hears plays ;
and could he that loves plays endeavour to love sermons
possibly he might bring himself to it as well as to any
other pleasure. At first it may seem harsh and tedious,
but afterwards 'twould be pleasing and delightful. So it

But she can play the assassin—she can stab her enemy in
the back, as she has done on former occasions, and as she
is attempting to do again ; but it will be seen with what
success eventually. The policy which she has deter-
mined upon is to send abroad her agents for the purpose
of intriguing with the people and with the Governments
of the continental nations, of putting the people against
the governments and the governments against the peo-
ple, of inciting the masses to rise for their rights and
