OUR AFFAIRS.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1872.

WE have hitherto iorborne 10 notice OUT
rageous acts made upon the General Govern
ment by British faction, existing in the boz
som OF our county. We have hitherto for
borne TO notice those measures pursued and
adopted by those traitors to paralize the arm
OF soverhment--to bring our Republican In
shtuiioDs into dlsrepute and disgrace but,
our iorbearance has arrived at point, that
to be longer silent, would be criminal: We
shall now speak, and speak in language SD
plain and distinct, shat we shall not be misun-
dcrstood. For long period, it has been sus-
pected British faction existed in the bosom
of this country the discovery of Henry's
conspiracy has irrafutably established and
confirmed the fact. 1t is not our present in
tention to trace the origin and progress o: this
faction /; suffice 1t to say, IL commenced at,
and existed through our glorious Revolution,
and, has ever since that period been encoura-
ged and patronized by the British Ministry
through their ambassador, Liston, and all his
successors in this country, and by their adyo.
Gates and adherents. Hamilton and a thou
sand other OF their coad tutors have sought
the subiugation or destruction Of the Ameri-
can Government /; like Satan, deprived of his
power, they seek to regain it by force, should
It threaten the union Of the country by ,sc at
tempt. Ever since the days Of Washington,
these myrmidons of England have predicted
the destruction Of our Constitution il is a
rope OF sand say they" the greater the pres
sure the sooner the disconnection. These
false prophets are now mad, that their treas
enable predictions are not verified they
seize with avidi,y every thing to effect such
parpose--they are still disappointed. The
pulpit the forum, the streets, public and pri-.
va,e assemblies, ora,ions, newspapers, pamph-
lets and handbiils are all employed as engines
to effect their favorite object-general insur-
rec,ion of the people. AS yet, these traitors,
TO the best and dearest interests Of America,
dare only to utter their ISLANDERS and folse hoods
they dare not act with force openly. Shall
the sanctity Of the desk shield traitor from,
the punishment of treason |! Shall grey hairs
protect him, who breaches rebellion Shall

M'Mahou, President Of the Horticultural So
ciety ofPhiiadeiptia, presented US with brace
Of Cucnm6ers, each upwards of four inches
long, raised by bin at his Nursery and Be-

on the 9th January last, and at the same time
Informed us that Mr.. Robert Tredgcr, (gar-
dener1 member of that society, had on the
10th inst cut brace Of cucumbers equal in
size to the above, produced from seed sown
on the lst January last. Mr.. Tredgcr was
then in the employ of VIM. Sims, Esq. and
had subsequently been employed by general
Moreau
Those fruit were not raised in lighthouses,
but in hot-beds, under garden frames: SUCH
with great variety of other important vege-
table productions, we are informed, are now
in our vicinity, in an unusual state of forward
ness, through the laudable eXertions and emu
lation Of the members of the Horticultural

It reaains Only in conclusion to state, that
against all these infractions of neutral right
the government of the United States loudly
protested, both at the courts of London and
Paris, by both of which they were told, that
nothing could be more distant from the wish
of that government than to commit any act OF
injustice against America; that all each had
done was purely retaliatory upon the acts OF
the other; that it was the earnest desire OF
each to see the commerce of the world re-
stored to that of freedom which is necessary
to its prosperity; that they were ready to a.
bandon the system which had been forced up
on them, whenever the enemy should retract
the principles which had rendered it necessa-
~; and Lord Wellesley, on the part of his
Britannia majesty, added, that we were ready
TO proceed parrl passu with France, In re-
taxing the rigor of their measure"
We shall only add, that on the 5th Of Au-
gust, 1910, it was notified by the French 60
yernment to the American minister resident
at Paris, that the Berlin and Milan DEGREES
would, be revoked on the LIST of November,
following, g it being clearly understood that
the English Orders in Council should be re-
scinded at the same time This information
was on the 25lh of August, 1910, commune
Gated to the British government by Mr. Pink
ney, the minister Of the United States to the
court Of London but instead of being then
told that we were ready TO redeem our pledge,
and lo proceed step by step with the French
in relaxing the rlgor of these measures, the
answer was, " that whenever the repeal Of the
French DEGREES should have actually taken
place" then, and not till then, we should re-
hnquish cur present system. What kind of
evidence The British ministry requires of the
actual revocation of the French DEGREES we
know not the Americans by their President
say they have ceased to exist, but the British
Orders in Council continue to operate with
undiminished rigour, to the ruin of our manu-
iacturers, and to the dishonor of the country.
