The above judicious, temperate, modest and
sensible article is copied b. us from the Montreal
Herald, and by that Journal from the London Argus
said to be very popular organ of the Conserva'
ives and TO be read by them with exceeding graft
ication Bu, for this character of the Argus we
,hould scarcely think it werh while to cumbcr our
columns with its frantic vulgarity and inso!ence'
md even as :, is, we have more regard the amusc
aent ,Lun the exaspera,on of our readers, II pac-
ac before them such specimen of editorial ability
The occasion, however, induces us to offer few
smarks which have been for some time in our
relating to the contrast exhibited
,e,ween the language aad department OF tSc two
oun,ries. on this Mcleod affair, and notably of
lie press in each; contrast which, we are bound
10 suy, shows greatly in favor Of our countrymen.
0a the ore side there has been an almost perpetual
lsplay of insult, dcnuncia,on, threats and boast-
ng; the terrible vengeance of England has been
,yer and over again declared on the very point OF
descending upon us in dcsolation and ruin; raw
.ged seaboard, blazing cities, commerce destroyed,
,ryilc insurrcction and every other form OF evil
% which n country can be subjected, have been
icld up in terrorem before our eyes, as the inev-
able consequence of failure 10 comply with the
iemand for the immediate Liberation of the pris-
,ner; aud if menace had but the efficacy of fulfil
uent, our very existence rs nation would have
5een long since rcckoned among the things that
we're.
Amid all this hu,ly-bury we have gone on, calm
and quietly, in the course indicated BY the laws;
neither acceerating xor retarding the accustomed
Mach OF justce-nethcr setting the prisoner free
IN fear of Engand's vengeance, nor ougmen'ing
the discomfort of his Imprisonment in cxasperailon
1t her in,cmperancc We have discussed the
merit, of his cause, in our Courts and in JOUR
sas gravely and tempc,a,ely; and ii in some few
instances the iusolcnce of British and Canadian
writers has been answered in corresponding strain.
It has been done only by speakers and writers OF
Interior character and estimation The respectable
1Tgans Of public sentiment among us would have
'een ashamed TO utter such like vaustings and IN
cmpera,c abuse as have disgraced the columns Of
he london Times, and many other leading papers
cross the water. And we have copied the British
'ully 5 raN'ng in good par, with hope OF shaning
aio decorum that portion Of our own press which
adalgcs in similar antics though rarely or never of
quail extravaganza.
For nearly four years it has been the pleasure of
heso papers, and almost all the Canadian journals,
10Th to viGy and threaten the people of this coun-
