WAR UPON THE Wilmer
& Smiths Times says :-'Some time ago
we mentioned that steps were being taken by
the London clubs 10 stamp reputation as a
crime against society. We stated that A
mericans belonging to the insolvent States
should be shut Out ofthe social and other ad-
H,afhares which the clubs afford to strangers
visiting London. The war of aggression
has commenced, bat il is much more strin-
gent in its application than we intimated at
the time, or had any conception OF. Ii will
embrace all Americans, without reference to
what part ofthe Union they come from. The
innocent will suffer disgrace equally with
the guilty States. When the the Cato
street conspirators, some twenty-five years a.
90 determined to murder the British Minis
try OF that day in cold blood, one ofthe gang
pleaded hlrd for the life of particular mem
Der, on the ground that he was a good and
virtuous man. He be d-r was the excla-
nation. Spare him he must be killed for
keeping bad company and the ruffians pre-
pared TO sacrifice him accordingly. The ret
ributive policy OF the London clubs would
appear TO be founded on the same principle
ofiIustice. A leading metriPolian journal, a
few DAYS back, said, We have heard it men
toned, as positive fact, that an American
gentleman ofthe most unblemished charac-
Ter was refused admission into one of the
largest clubs in London on the sole ground
that he belonged 10 a Republic that did not
fulfil its engagements. All possible pains
were taken TO convince the gentleman that |
there was not the slightest personal objec- !
ton to his admission, and that his own repu- |
tation was such that the club would have |
had the greatest pleasure in receiving him
had he belonged to more creditable govern
ment. In fact, the whole affair, and the man
ner in which it was done, may be considered |
as rejecting quite as much honor on the
gentleman himselfas ii conveyed a deep re-
proach to America. From the feeling with |
which we have heard this subject mentioned
in the city, It's not too much to expect that |
the example will be followed in other estab-
ishments. Nodistinction, as we understand,
has been made as to the State TO which an
may belong, but the whole Unit
ed States are looked upon as equally tar
nished."
