peculiar orators to the winds for the Es,
faid he, would be calm and quiet, if the
winds did NOT trouble it. We who have
lived to witpels the French revolution,
and to fee what we now fee in America,
can thifk no worlc OF thofe n,ifchievous
tools of the devil, demagogues, than the
wif.f and boneaeit man OF antiquity knew
them 70 be from his own experience.

say the Jacobins: yetan extra session OF
Congress is called to ado fifteen millions
Of dollars to that public debt; which will
increase it to upwards of one hundred
millions of dollars. And for what is this
increase For the iu,adiRi0a OF region
of land covered with indians; at the.
time too when the United States have on
hand, which they cannot sell no less than
two hundred and thirty FIVE millions of a
cres-enough to form ten States as large
as Massachusetts and a fR,isdit7ioa toe,
which the ceders, at the time OF cesslon,
had no more physical power to convey,
than the devil bad the land he offered co
give the Saviour OF the world. New o.
leans, we admit, would have been worth
part OF the money, were 1t not that we had
just as good right to use THAT island tor
all tie purposes for which it Can be useful
to us, before, as since the cesslon. In
1895, this right was guaranteed TO the
United States by solemn treaty; or
the assignment OF an equivalent establish.
ment on another part Of the banks of the
NJ ssissippi. New Orleans. therefore, is
out of the question. The truth ls,--
France wanted money; and she has long
been in the habit OF laying nations under
tribute by force or fraud. During the
last war, finding she could not intlmidate
nor cajcle the Amencan Administrations,
she plundered the citizens of the United
States of near twenty millions Of dollars.
In this war, she plays the game OF eaiole
with better success, and unier the pre-
tence of ceding tract of Wild land, re-
plenishes her almost exhausted Golfers with
fifteen millions of dollars! This is a
/" russo de cabinet" with a vengeance
and, however, the clawbacks OF the pre-
sent administration may pretend to the
contrary, the world will re the Riinsi-
ness of the pretence, and expostulate ac-
cordingly Bonoa Ceutmsl.

Perhaps our democrats will fay, that

making fmall fusa 60 great way in the
payment of p,ivate debts he can, by ap-
plying the fame rule TO the payment of
