of may be said. sec, this is new? II hath been al.
ready OF old time which was before US. Thus
spoke the wise man, three thousand years ago,
and all experience since has shown that the thi ng
which has been is that which ,shall be. We are
brought into this train of reflection by slancng
into the history of some Of the turbulent DAVIS Of
the Athenian Democracy.-every page of which
shows that ignorant demagogues, and noisy fiat
terers of the people, have been much the same, IN
all ages of the world. If the United States have
had Jackson, so has England had a CROMWELL if
England Jack Cade, so had the Greeks Gloon;
if New York nike Walsh, so had Athens O
Hyperbolus.
Nor were the demagogues of the ancients less
subjects for the lash of satire than the moderns
Aristophenes, in one of his comedies, introduces a
prominent parsonage who is endeavouring to per.
suade n common sausage.maker to change his &C.
cupatlon and turn statesman. The latter char
acter. according to LeClerc was intended as sa.
tire upon CIeon. This Cleon was an Athenian
tanner, but man Of talents, gifted with degree
Of coarse eloquence popular with the people. He
became, however. very troublesome orator, and
an enemy to the best men of the country. lie
never gave the least evidence of sincerity, or Of
love of country; vet by affecting zeal for the
peoples welfare that was false, and living at open
variance with the Senate and better classes, he
made himself person of Importance.
As already mentioned, Aristophenes introduces
a sage-maker, whom politician is endeavor-
ing to persuade to turn his attention to matters of
State.
The man surprised at the proposal, inquiries
why he should laugh at poor fellow who had
never employed his thoughts or his time in any
thing but making sausages.7
To which the other replies:- IA
"Behold all these ranks Of people; you shall be-
great leader and chief among them. You shall
tread upon the senate, and tie up the hands Of our
generals" .5I M
"Who, II" says the sausage.maker. sa.,l -
eyes, you shall do it. Get upon shis table,
where you make your puddings, and look all
about you. Do you see in that scene, the custom
house, and oil those ships that are laden there with
merchandize?" H Fl ID. -o.e5lr
''See them! yes" says the sausags-maker--
what then?"
"Why all those things shall be sold BY you.--
The oracle says you shall be very great manl''
| allow should that be, for heavens saksi" cried

What not questioned as good faith in MI. Adams
and Gen Jaeksons administrations cannot be alleged
10 be bad faith under Mr.. Tylers government There
was not a voice raised in out Of Congress- IN de-
fence of our honor and faith with Spain, when we
made a ire atty with her then reyolied province oil
Mexico, but the land resounds with appeals IN iasor
Irrational honor when a similar treaty Is formed
with the reveted province of Texas, the difference
being that Mexican independence then only In
cboate and Texan independence is now perfected.
But in addition these facts, when II Is recolleet-
ed that We offered on three several OCCASIONS during
Two administrations, in 1925, 1927 aud 1929, from
seven TO eleven years before the acknowledgment, by
Spain of Mexican Independence, 10 purchase Ieras of
McKee, the conclusion is inevitable, that violation
of the counlrys honor-no sregard Of plighted pub
lie fath--no contempt of treaty stipuatons-was
supposed by best statesmen Jealous OF the purity
of the natiooal name, to have been involved in any Of
these transactions.
The following remarks in the letter of Gen. Hunt,
the Texas Envoy, 10 MIR. Forsyth, in favor Of An
mex alton, dated September r. 1897 are conclusive
and we're never replied to
1.-THE same principles which were involved in the
negotiation for the Annexation of Texas from Mexi-
CO. previously TO the recognition of the independence
of the latter by Spain, are now presented by the
question of the Annexation Of Texas to the United
States previously TO the recognition Of her indie PEN
dence by Mexico. If the act Of Annexation of
Texas would involve the United States in a war
with Mexico, at this time the undersigned is at a
loss to perceive why similar result not antici-
pated with Spain,in the event Of cession of Texas
by Mexico"

Surely that man is poet who gains such praise and
such abuse. And verify we believe Evans can and

which appeared pure and gorgeous poetry for in
