OVERTHROW OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS

The London Times of 29th ult. commences one OF
its leaders on foreign policy, received from Lord
Aberdeen, with that mastery duplicty which has
distinguished the leading English journals prior
to government expedition for the division and SUBJ
jugaton of foreign territory I. The nation to be
subugated divided is individualized in the person
of its executive or ministers. 2. The executive is
depicted as the incarnation of everything vile and de-
testable 3. The trafficking propensity commercial
policy) of Englishmen, is invoked to countenance
and support the peaceabe overthrow of the ncarna-
ted hend. 4. Pacific measures are feeble, and the
division of the country being proved desirable for
England, war is shown to be necessary. 5. We
then have the threat from the Times in these
words:
'n short the emergency great and the consequences
Of delay and doubt injurious to all the interests aec
by this question that trust considerable
will be despatched to naval forces in the Plata that
the governor Of Buenos Ayres Argentine Unon) will
that the argument of the powers mediation he
resists will be declaration IF ,oar.''
"A the interests Of the Times are British inter
ests, of course; commercial interests first, and mon
archical interests second-its arguments, those OF
every other unprincipled plunderer of nations and
individuals-"Sand and deliver!" says the national
highwayman, Lord Aberdeen; "Your purse. or
your life +" says the footpad outside Of London;
"Your territory, declaration of war !, SAYS
Engand's footpad, the London Times. Here, then,
is the whole question in nutshell. The national
robber presents the weapon of death TO the heart OF
sister republic. Shall we be Indifferent spectators
We appeal to the United States government. We
appeal to our fellow-citizens. Shall we fold our
arms, and permit the robber to strike down young
and promising sister, Our late envoy to China,
Hon. Caleb Gushing, in an address before the Bos-
ton Lyceum last Thursday evening, 10th inst, said
England, influenced by her love of growth, has
proceeded to Intervention in the affairs of this con-
tlnent, to Intervention in the matter Of Texas and
the United States; and not succeeding in this to in
terventon in the affairs Of Buenos Ayres and Uru-
quay. These facts are of momentous importance to
US; and to beat back the interference of European
powers, we have only to be conscious of our own
strength, and put il orh"-.New York Sun.
