Orr ozun country: 1t has been the mis-
fortune of the people of the U. States, that
all their politicians have forgotten that they
have country of their own. They know
much about Great Britain, France, and all
the Europeans countries, but they appear to
know very little about the land in which they
live. The dazzling glare of the two great
pQwers which WELD the destinies of the east
ern continent, have blinded their eyes. In
contemplating the Sun of Great Britain and
the Moon OF France, they have overlooked
the Star Of America. They followed the
.ignus fatuus of foreign glory, until it has fair
ly foundered them in ditch. 1t has been no
uncommon thing to- hear leading politicians,
even on the floor of Congress, lay The dis
'tresses Of this country to foreign powers.

the brink of ruin by the orders and DEGREES
OF Great Britain and France. Can this be
possible! Is in the nature of things that TO

country as to force US like tarrapin to draw
our heads under our she'll? Can Bonaparte
or King George empty or fill our treasury at
will! If this is really the case, what de-
shaved and buffeted by all nations, but under
the protection Of none Were this the case
we should really be, as the DUO de Galore
SAID, In worse situation than the slaves OF

supporters of our present rulers. Ask
