MONDAY, MARCH 10. 1912.

A disposition having been manifested to
turn into ridicule the se,-ious and mhortant
documents which occupy the columns of our
paper of this day, by declaring it to be
fraud for electioneerng purposes, which idea
viii, no doubt, be still further promulgated,
t would be criminal in US to let so uncon-
tradicted, both as it regards a libel on the
administration and imposition upon the peo-
pie Of the u. States.
The committee of Foreign Relations, to
whom it will be recollected the subject was
referred in the House of Representatives,
gave it that minute attention which it re-.
CURED; they were DESTROYS of having the
person of Henry put into their possession,
but were informed BY the government that
he had stipulated with them not to be mo-
Tested, when he took his departure for n.
York. He is said to have refused to make
fubfc tlie names of individuals with whom
he had intercourse in this country, as there
had beer 20 breach Of faith on their part
towards him !; the British ministry having
broken their engagements with him, he
| considered himself justified in gratifying his
resentment as it regarded them. The origi-
nal manuscripts were before the committee !;
and there is no doubt of their authenticity
The hon. Secretary of State and Attorney
| General (Ir. Pinkney our late minister to
| England) to whom the signatures of Lord
| Liverpool and MIR. Peel were familiar, de-
clared them to be genuine. The signature
| ofSir James Craig is well known to a res
pectable member of the committee, as well
| as the royal seal which the said Governor of
| Canada had attached to the Credentials of
| Henry. In the originals all tho names were
erased, many of which however, were suffi-
GENTLY legible to be understood; and, con-
lecture says, they are Of high and honorable
standing AS this is subject Of great deli
cacy, no specific report is is expected to be
made. 1t is matter of regret, and the
curtain will not be drawn without the great

Titles. Among these is P0frlot'sm. The peo-
pie give themselves credit for large stock OF
: patriotism aud intelligence.
The present is a crisis very prorer TO test
the truth of this opinion. In fair weather, ans
body may be patriot. 1t requires no great
virtue to stand by country, where Drosperi-
ty adds to the prosperity of every individual.
A government, ike private citizen, will al
ways have friends enough, when it does not
want them but the storm tries the courage
OF the crew and the strength OF the ship. The
time tn prove the patriotism OF the citizens
is in war. When taxes are multiplied and
dangers increase, they who stand by and sup
port the government, will hrove themselves
friends. Your "fcather-bed patriots" as Mr.
QUINCY calls them, will be off in tangent
but man OF real patriotism will stick by, and
sink or swim with his country.
VIII the citizens consent TO give 4 proof of
their patriotism, by submitting to- the dangers,
the troubles, the privation and the expense of
a war? VIII they be willing to sacrifice their
luXur;cs, their superhuities, and MANY of their
best comforts Will they be ccntcnted to
prove their faith by their works. Unless they
wiz do all this, and more also, they had bet
ter rot talk of war--they need not boast of
their fict,iotiSm-and it Will be well to say as
little as possible about their Intelligence.

humanity may anticipate most enlightened
and useful discharge of this most important
duty. On none of the many invaluable bene-
