! .4merican Prcjudice.-By way of com
mcnt on the article which lately appeared
in the papers, mentioning the "innocent i'm
posture" of the celebrated Irish vocalist,
! Phillips, in announcing musical piece by
Mr.. Gifert of Albany as the production of
Carl Won Glfort Of Prague, tho editor of the
Baltimore Patriot remarks =" The people
on the other side of the Atlantic are not the
only nations who are prejudiced against A
merican writers, and i'll favour of European.
In proof of this, we mention another "inno-
cent imposturc." A pocticsl writer, about
ayear ago wrote song and published it in
one of our newspapers with the words "By
Thomas Moore" Immediately following the
title. He said he merely wished to try the
effect of a name on the American people,

in the Union, and we have often had a hear
ty laugh at the effects of this 'innocent i'm
posture" We will not mention the title of
this song at present, as it has not yet finish
cd its experiment on American prejudice,
and we should be 10th to arrest it IN SO laud-
able an undertakin (which we should ine-
! v.,aby do by pointing it out and declaring it
to be of domestic origin" Such are the
effects ofprejudice. Comment is unneces-
sary."
Something ne7y-rhe Cllillicothc paper,
in what some will denominatc these dull pi-
ping times of peace, at least presents us with
one novelty. n man by the name of Gabriel
Crane, pretending to supernatural revela-
tions, has written 20 the Editor of that pa
per, demanding from him, and declaring
that he received high authority SO to do, the
sum Of three hundred and fifty dollars. The
editor puts Oh grave face at his demands;
asserts the low state of his funds, and makes
the following proposal in return.
".As we do not wish, however, to be
thought unreasonable, We will make cur cor
respondent fair offer. The sums due our
establishment exceed the total amount OF
t what we owe, whether as principal or sccu-
rity, in the proportion OF upwards OF five to
one. Now, if Gabriel will 50 contrive it as
to enable us TO lquilate the latter with the
former, and without the sacrifice of any Of
our property, within twelvemonth from
this day, we will assign over to him, in full
property, as many accounts as shall amount
! to one thouaand doilars, with the proceeds
Of which he may purchase as much "dis-
, tinction" for himse!E or any of his friends
as may be obtained for the money"
