sung by intoxicated office hunters they
descended to the grosscst familartIeS
with the lowest blackguards in the lowest
taverns, 10 prove the genuine character of
their ,pretended) democracy;
"They preached treason in advising
their hearers to try force, if left in a mi
norily at the polls. In short, they did
what they knew to be wrong, they advi-
sed what they internally dcspiscd, and
they internally dcspised their hearers for
listening TO such suggestions"
Thank God, the democracy Of the
country are IN no wise obnoxious to these
cutting reproofs. They can wash their
hands of all conduct Of the kind. Ii is
only their opponents, the sclf-styled pro-
ftssors of "aIl the morality and all the
religion" who were guilty Of such dcba-
sing, such damnablc acts. By their con-
due, they have forfeited all claims to the
character Of virtue, morality, or honor ;
and destroyed, not only the confidence of
the people, but their own scll.respect.
The "sobcr second thought Of the
community is fast visiting upon them the
Just rewards Of their crimes, and consign-
ing them to the ignominy and disgrace
they have 50 richly meriled.-Dorer Ga-.

SEIZURES OF AMERICAN YES
.,t Sells.

Diplomatic Correspondence.-Engish pa
pers received by the Great Western con-
tain some official letters between our late
Minister at London, Mr.. Stevenson, and
Lord Palmerston, relative to the seizure
of American vessels by British cruisers on
the coast of Africa.
The first note in the published cores
pondence is from Mr.. Stevenson, and bears
date November Is, 1910. 1t thus appears
that the correspondence took place about
a year ago, although it is now for the first
time made public.
The American Minister communicates
to Lord Palmerston the facts pertaining
to the seizure Of the American brig Doug
las, of Duxbury, Massachusetts by the brig
Termagant, commanded by Lieut.. Segram
in the month of October, 1889. The
Douglas was bound to the river Bras with
cargo of merchandise and several pas,
sengers. The brig was boarded by Lieut.
Segram off the African coast, her papers
overhauled, the American flag taken down
the matches broken open and a BritieF
master and crew put on board. For five
or six days the Douglas was thus held il
charge Of the cruiser when, on the Goth O.
October, to the westward of Popoe, OF
the African coast, the captain was ordered
on board the Termagent, his papers were
delivered to him by Lieut.. Segram, and he
was allowed to pursue his voyage
For this outrage Mr.. Stevenson de
mands the reparation due to the rights o
the United States and the honor of thei
flag.
The reply of Lord Palmerston is con
ciliatory. He assures Mr.. Stevenson tina
Her Majesty's Government will at al
times be DESTROYS of REFRESHING and prevent
ing any violation of the flag of the Unite,
States by officers Of the British Navy.

|, however, can draw no line of Just dis

Promising the regular periodical changes in the

the sake Of change, would necessarily swell Elk.
ecutive patronage, already too much swolIen-I
am obliged to add, that more than doubt, on
other grounds, the policy and Justice of such
changes--1. Because, for the able and prompt
execution Of public bushes, much official ex,
perience, in great number OF particular sta.
lions, is known to be necessary; 2. Because
many ollice.holders appointed under even reck-
less administrations, (such as we have seen,) will
always, after time, be found of tried integrity
and Of equal industry and Abilities 3. Because,
again, some may be found in a state of honora.

than Of long and exclusive devotion to the in,
terests Of the public and 4. because, to remove
such servants, or not to reappoint them at the
end Of term, would not only discourage sue
cessors in a faithful discharge Of duty, but could
not fail to outrage the more moral sense of en-
tire communities. speak on this head from
what witnessed in 1929-'30, Of the cruel ex
permens on large scale then made upon the
sensibiltes OF the country, and the mischiefs Il
the public interests which early ensued.
What | would, therefore, hunby advise is
this: to turn out, not only on change Of Pres
dent, but in any and every week Of the year, all
