which the NAL 10 constantly making agalnsL lhtmo'
raj character Of Tho citizens of the United Bite, IS
unpa rdonabie -dsgraceiul IL delights in ierfsenl-
ing them as nation OF pick pockets, blackAafds,
and scoundrels II walows IN this filth frouJanu-
airy TO December. These crudities, TO be ste, are
harmless here, because the Mail has acquiredn pre-
scrptive license for nduglng in all that is solent,
outrageous, and silly. The party which il encmbers
with lis support have long since learnt TO treats adj
vice with scorn its suggestions with contempt But
elsewhere the ISLANDERS Of the Mail may pass erent,
as representing with toerabe correctness the ieings
of the people OF Liverpool respecting America AID her
citizens.
That there are too many spectators in An,rica, as
in England needy il may be, dishonest adye,lurers,
acting the ails win, heads you lose" system, can
not, unhappily, be denied. But they form n,ley OF
iares amongst the wheat of commercial dealers Anne
rcans possess beyond any her people the face Of
the globe he enterprise, energy, and go he'd feel
ing so characteristic of Englishmen II is symptom
attic of their descent The history of the world pre-
sents no instance of a nation having attained such
ranscendant power and greatness in petty space
Of time and in estimating their character this mud
not be overlooked. That bubble schemes, bankig
companies and other allurements of the surt, form
tempting bats amongst people possessed of sJl
guine temperament, Is more TO be regretted tlnn
wondered al. But let US ask ourselves this question,
Are free from similar iollles Before detecting the
beam in our brothers eye, lie, us pluck out the mott
from our own. The cooler head of John Bull hrs
been crazy wi h a Specializing lever many ame ard
of during the present generation, and he has rushe
into the most wild and extrayagant excuses. The
last fit of insanity occurred in 1892 fro the effects
which the patient has not yet recovered. 1t is rathr
too bad to charge high crimes and tnsdemranorsin
the part of the Yankees what we in the habbof
practising ourselves The great bulk Of the Awrl-
can merchants, tradesmcn and persons engage ~
business in that country as honest IN their eal-
ings pure their morals, is generous IN hel sen
linen,s as unexceponahe in their character andron-
duct as any similar class of men in this or anyoher
country IT, the Maj. asserts they are nlion OF
cheats and swndIers why are we so anxious push
business with them1 America is our best customer,
and this port the recipient OF the bulk OF le trade
between the two countries. Do we iind that " mel
chants engaged in the American trade are fss Ie-
spe clablc less high min led, less Trustworthy than
those engaged in the East Indian, the w, ST Indian
the South American, or any other trades Pr they
run greater risks or make bad debts thin their
negibors in other branches of commerce 7 po they
realize the "thrce ou's out of credit, out Al the ell
bows and out Of pocket Do we recognise Ameri-
cans resident among any OF the foul and dnoral-
zng ulcers which the Mail regards as lntige,ous of
their counirys soil The editor of the Maj Himself,
if not the publisher of an American paper, at least
the printer ii paper for an American pubsAe, with
out, we will warrant it, having LOST 6a9be by the
transaction. These are the best practical inwers to
The loose and clumsy libel, Of the Mail,
Not content with aitackingthe political infllutions
and the commercial credit OF the United States, our
contemporary exceedingly anxious TO pro'e that he
country is mass Of dcisn and inildey. FOR this
purpose he quotes, in his paper OF Tutshyran ac-
count Of meeting held in Boston, called thn Char
don street Convention" at which great deal OF silly
iwatdle was uttered about religion and the Bible 1t
is common saying, that you can't judge of a house
by SIN lie brick but the Nail reversing this axiom
Judges OF the whole population by this solitary meet
ing Hear to what account he Turns il -
The progress Of indecent inidey Of disompcred
vice, of presumpiuous folly Of Disgusting and afro
cious attacks upon what IS, we happy say, gene
rally held sacred, CONTINUES to make ADJ aEcesl Anne
tca lnlieliiy Of the stronges' compost is not only
flung broad cast ia the open fields of ignorance, cyi
IDENTITY not irrigated with any hing else but published
and prcpagated III the New York papers. Women
too on IN the Goggles Of obscene impiey and leave
their infants 10 the cradle and their husbands in the
pohouse, whilcihey worship filth and the Goddess OF
Reason in room lighted with gas and where igno-
rant snobs descant upon subjects which they do not
understand.
Although deprived Of the blessings of state church

the city of New York in Liverpool in proportion 10
The poi uaton, built paid for, and supported, be it re-
membered, by voluntary con- ributon. The God
dess of Reason, SO piously abhorred by the Maui

10 the empire perhaps in the woiid published nj tne
metropolis 81 England, is the open and avowed advo
cate OF lnhdehy-a paper which circuates o
onc impression than the Mail cculates in twelve ca
lendar months Why 90 far from home to de-
nounce infdelity, when it is growing in rank uxu
rance at own doors. Men commit strange absur
ities for want Of friend tell them Of them says
