The War OF the British Reviewers against
the Press OF the United States.
We continue this day the publication of the anus
ing article in the London Quarterly Revietc, abusive
OF the American newspaper press IN general, and the
NeW York Herald in particular tits difficult which
most TO admire in this artcle-the feroclty OF its
spirit towards the press In this country-its igno-
rance OF the subject it attempts to discuss-is in
hated pomposiiy-or its utter contempt of all argu-
ment, cool investigation, and decency. Ii is not,
however, without its interest and its value. 1t af-
fords the most ineligible proof OF the sense enter
tanned in England of the alLpervading and sautary
influence Of the American press 1t is the involun-
tary testimony of an unfriendly, logged witness.
from whom the truths extorted, bit by Bit and who,
out of patience with himself and every body else,
vents his spleen the opposing counsel, with iniu-
rated disregard of all the rules of civy and good
breeding.
Were the press of this country without influence
and power-were 1t not the most efficient agent IN
promoting and maintaining that freedom OF thought
and speech, and those principles OF civil and rel-
gious liberty, which in little more then twogenera-
tons have converted an humble colony into one OF
the greatest nations of the earth, these reviewers
would give themselves very little trouble about it.
However, our philosophy is good deal of the laugh
ing description and we enjoy the fun of this anus
ing We shall continue our extracts, and let
all ourreaders "see the bear dance"

about making by the friends of James Watson

Morell, or the person who claims it.
A difficulty, however, in the progress Of the me-
gotiation has arisen since the new movement made
turing and financial interests of New York and New
England have been celebrating since the last cleo
ton on the necessity OF abandoning the extreme
and exclusive policy of Mr.. Clay and the ultra
wings. They have now taken deliberate ground in
that movement, and of course, considering that
Webb is pledged TO support Mr.. Clay and all his pur-
poses, they hesitate to raise $4,000 to pay for
butchering their own throats.

of it. Mr. Bidde raised a like bonus and knows
exactly what became of the S52, 600, although he
lost his bank harer by the operation. If the mer
contile interest should lose both money and mea
sures, they will always have the satisfaction to know
that they will be considered gentlemen" by Webb
This is Mr. Bidde's sole soace in the orchards o
