Peace" 49,.
If the retort be deemed too uncourtecus by
those who boast Of their candor and charity, Let
them have the candor and charity TO 'nttribure
its excess To too ardent patriotism. No Ame-
rican will say that the language of the provoca-
ton should be passed unnoticed.
Something is due TO the character of The ma
ton; and the world ought to know that il we
have no genius, talents, no literature, we
have ut least some feeling. Whether the retort
be too severe or too bold, is question before
| the American people. II is question of feeling
and patriotism which they will decide.
Perhaps some notice may be hereafter taken of
Of the minor, points of the attack made upon
| the address, although they hardly seem to de-
\ serve any reply. w.
