England, as parsonage Of Tremendous iuau-
ence In the Uniled States. IL may be that he
assured the Queen he could control the PIesl'
dent informed Sir Robert that he could govern
the Secretary Of State and finally inslnuaied &c
every body that the Madsonian was completely
Z" under his thumb" And who knows but thai
he will send them this number of the "Repub-
lic," containing this article, TO convince them Of
the truth Of his habitually extravaganza represen-
talions
| The editor says he (" does not hesitate To sag
| il Che Madisonan) does not speak for the State
Department or for The President" We may, OF
we may not, know the opinions of The " State
Department." and of :" The President" in fela-
ZION 10 the Z" designs of the Brush Govern
ment," as well as the mighty editor OF the "Re-
public Our readers must decide that matter
for themselves.
| So far from entertaining the malignant and
demoniac feelings, so often attributed 10 us, To-
wards Great Britain, we regard that isle as one
Of The brightest gems which II has pleased the
Creator TO set in the world It's heroes, states
men, and authors, have won undesirable and
imperishlble glory for the human race. AS
descendants from English iorefathers. we should
all regard their achievements with peculiar
pride But still Great Britain has produced
ambitious men, and bad men. And whether
we find them in the cabinet or IN The h'ld, as
Americans, we should deem il duty TO de-
a.. A.. ua shnnlu
our own interests, and guard our own honor, IN
preference to the interests and honor OF any
other nation. Our Government will surely ask
nothing but what is right Of Great Britain,
and il will as certainly Submit TO nothing that
is wrongn We presume the especial Minis
tern of the British Government will hardly take
offence at the doctrines and speculations of our
casual correspondents: but if he should require
pusillanimous and sycophanlic course Of con-
duct on the part of the "oIgan OF the Execu-
tive" the Madisonan cannot accommodate
him. But we doubt not the Especial Minister"
is man Of sense-we know he comes from
gifted and noble line of ancestors. Hence We
think the "Republc" might have spared such
ridiculous expressions as these:
"And least Of all does it become us--a Free indie
pendent, and republican people-to do anything
which might by possibility cause the pending nego-
iatioD to terminate in war, and once more delugng
the world in blood"
And This:
"No; the hladisonian does not speak the Ian
guage Of the Government or the people of this
country"
After all, the experienced" General may be
merely executing device TO "raise the wind"
Perhaps he is striving to convince the friends Of
the Administration in New York, and else
where that his paper is the bona Jfde "organ of
the Executive that he may lay claim TO their
"liberal patronage" We doubt whether they
can be imposed upon.
The last quotation we make from the IRE
public" and with which we close this article,
we read with mingled surprise and contempt;
surprise, that the conduct of the editor had 10,
been in unison with his admssion-contempl,
that such paltry subterfuge had been resored
to- to perpetrate an upprovoked attack
"The editor Of the Madisonian, we are persuaded
condemns less than do the language Of his
pendent: We apue, that this bring eOnpnunioa
tion, he IS mol strictly responsible for It's language"
