HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
The proposition offered in certain great
legislative BODY, Tor giving bounty to mutt
eers on board of British ships of war, does
not appear TO have met with universal appro-
ba,ion among the exclusive republicans. The
baltimore Wing is quite displeased with it.
We had expected that it would have been
hailed as highly patriotic and spirited mea-
sure, being IN exact conformity with the poll
cy proposed to be pursued relative to Canada
that S, of making men "sraitors to their own
country, in order that they may become good
ritiz,ns Of ours"

government more. For that which does not
protect The person of the citizen or resident

This paragraph likewise adds another proof
to the thousands that have been already adduc-

U. S. and G. Britain would be agreeable to

every possiblsart to prejudice the Ameri-
can people against the British nation. Should
the offers of that govern,pentbe ever so con-
ciliatory and amicable, these poiiticalteachers
Immediately cry out, Z" Be1vare !! there Is q

should they neglect or refuse to accede to the
precise terms which our government think
proper to propose, then the song is, s. Behold.
