double grief which Britain now feels; and the idle
attempt the 'Timesn is now making to rouse up the
anti-anne xationists in New England, and trying a
last, desperate effort to defeat the contamination
of the measure
A correspondent exposes these impotent and
"hypocritical" appeals of the London Times" in
he following, terms:
For the Union
We cannot refrain from noticing the eulogum ESQ
intended) fthe "London Times" ona portion of the
citizens of the United States; while, at the same time,
we regret that there are those who, from their con-
duct, have given coorng Ito say the least Oft to
that feeling which is appealed to- and who no doubt
feel complimented at anything of the KIND emana-
ting from the hireling pens aud tory prints OF Great
Britain. This appeal made TO the citizens of New
England and if we mistake not 1t will arouse among
tho honest and intelligent majority OF them, feelings
of the deepest indignation.
The British government are perfectly convinced
that they have in this country friends both ready
and willing to cooperate with them In attacking
everything which they think can tend in any way TO
injure our republican Institutions. BY causing d.
vision among u.s. they hope to accelerate our ruin
which they so eagerly desire. Loving the treason,
however, they despise the traitors, Recolect-
ing the blue-lights held out as a warning to their
fleets during the war of 1877, they feel conscious
that the same men who were then ready to bctray
their country, are willing to do the same thing now.
Hence the appeal made so directly To particular
class of the citizens of New England in the article
alluded to. But, at the same time, the tory press
of Old England may rest assured that they are mis-
taken in their calculation OF the number OF these
worthless; that there is too much intelligence among
the people Of the Eastern States, to be worked OIL IN
the manner in which they have attempted; and
that however wealthy and intellectual few OF their
secret friends may be, their number Is but small
in comparison with the res. Of their fellow-citizens,
to whom they well known, and who scan all
their actions with Jealous and cautious eye 1t Is,
however, n melancholy suppostion to indulge mi
yet, nevertheless, rue-that, blessed as we are ny
Providence as the special nation OF Ills all-Wlse
care there should he found among us men ready
and willing to take part with our enemies, and only
requiring the moral courage to assist them openly.
We do not wonder at the British press coming out
thus boldly; and etiogisng men Of this character,
when it Is matter of daily occurrence to see the
tNationa Inteligenter" printed at the seM Of the
government of the United States, and a few
other papers of kindred spirit throughout the
country, containing article after article, calculated
land intended, no doubD do injury to the repubb-
can cause, which as freemen they should espouse,
and, as publishers of press at least avowedy re-
publican, advocate. The question Of the annexa-
lion of Texas is no longer party one. Congress
on the one hand, and the people of Texas on the
other, have settled it. she is now portion OF the
United States, and must be defended as such; and
whether the policy Of our government is attacked
by Mexico England, or any other power, it must
be repealed. We lament therefore, that the secret
enemies of our country, SO eoquently eulogzed
abroad by the "London Times" and so ener-
gotically represented at home by their organ,
The "Na,iona Inteligencer," should continue to
make attempts, unworthy to thwart the meas
dfes Of the present administration, so successfully
carrying into effect the intentions Of Congress
From every portion Of our widely extended terrific
ry The people pro aiming that the Course OF the
President is approve OF. The sanction OF large
majority is given to his policy; and it is too late for
these carping caviIers to effect their object. The
mark is already placed upon them, and they have
for their reward the contempt and execration of all
true patriots.
The secret enemies of their country should take
warning from the of deserters, who haveevo
been the scoff Of their feow-men Their affinity with
foreign foe strictly scrutnized. They known,
and viewed in their true light Theapple Of discord

at home more closely together. foreign press,
aiding and abetng traitors, will only cause to be
more watchful. The well being of our land demands
il and that brthright of freedom, for which our
fathers fought and bled, is not the less to be valued
when those possessing it are attacked by foreign
foes or domestic traitors.
