The SANDERS against america The Sausage De-
niocracy on the Continent of Europe Opinion,
of the Meric IN War.-Reigious Celebration, I
Festivals, &c. &C.
There is point beyond which patience ceases
to be virtue; and long continued attack against
the fair fame Of nations we'll as individuals,
may at last induce the meekest Christian TO refuse
to turn the right cheek TO him who has smitten
the left, or give the coat to him who has already
stolen the cloak. 1t is high time for the United'
States to seize arms in self defence, against the
base libels that are daily given to the European
world, in sheets that feed and fatten on al that
false, low, and vulgar ifits only directed against
the republicans Of the new world.
Nearly all the information that is received from
our country on the continent, is taken from the
English sheets many OF these pride themselves
in being engaged as rivals in the production of
the greatest iaisehoods; AMI wear alternately the
laurel wreath OF victory, for having proved them
prncped slanderers Among these stands the
: Times" conspicuous; and the grateful Boz
does not hesitate 10 enrich his sheet with his
experience The choicest articles of this
kind are faithfully submit TO Galignanls
scissors IN Paris, and then start on their journey
throughout France and the entire continent.
These afford an easy means for German journals
to enrich their columns with INTO from the
Other side OF the ocean, and generally owe their
translation and admission into these sheets to the
adroitness with which they reach the climax of
abuse and insult. The news of the declaration of
war by the United States against Mexico, reach
ed Vienna about two weeks ago; few days at
forwards the official journal contained long It's
sus OF ranting Bngsgate taken from the Times,
and inserted without comment, in which the
Mexican forces are represented as composed of
tt..
termed mere rabbIe The continent has scarce
ly recovered from laugh that threatened at one
time to become hysterical. Had the Mysteries set
in, the whole cause of the disease, and the moral
responsibility OF Its consequences would have
rested on the shoulders of the honorable member
OF the House OF Representatives, who See hit when
he Is hungry 10 retire to a window oil the house
and ENJOY u lunch oil bread and sausage. Mugs of
beer by The thousands have been slipped over this
delightful story; and the curling fumes OF pipes,
brown with the smoke OF ages, have joined to
form cloudy canopy over the heads OF these dill
gent invesIga ors of American men aud manners.
These things are served up as inevitable results,
where Men allowed to do as they please. In
stead of passing firm the ridiculous 10 the sublime,
the course is rather changed, and they turn 10
the horrible. shudder of disgust IS at
present extending from the Adrlatc to the
Baltic, on account of two tales OF terror that
have Just been presented TO the German world,
in the columns OF the German Universal gazette.
One IS, that a captain on the Mississippi left n
in the river they were there eight days, during
which time some OF them starved, ETC., etc. In
the first place, only side oil this story is given
without one mitigating syllable as TO the mduc.-
~ ent to such an act aud secondly, Que indVi-
dual, a steamboat captain, Is set up as the b0nd
fde representative OF the Uniied States, and car
we'd accordingly. The absurdity oil the idea that
any body OF men could oe deserted ior eight days
on "a river where steamers passing hourly,
never enters the minds OF those that horror
struck at these details.
Again beautiful muatto girl in New Orleans

column OF the paper that contains 1.-THE re-
mainder oil Its contents is devoted TO painting
every circumstance in the most glowing colors,
and exciting every feeling by the most touching
and patheuc appeals IN short every effort Is
made to give II a character that would disgrace
the verlest cannbals. Diplomatists are calling
on our Legation, to know If such can be the state
of laws and society in the United States; and
four times within two hours have been stopped
in the streets OF Vienna TO listen to thus sad reel
tai. The enemies have a bulwark which is invul-
nerable, and they retire behind IT and give battle
with confidence which they mag ne gives VIC

The explanation, that in the United Safes all
men allowed TO say and print what they
please, provided that II is not a personal Tibet
that religious and political fanatlcsm must exist
in some IN, mbers OF community where all are
allowed to think and express their thought-and
that party rancor dutIng political strife is pro-
oueuve OF much that Is merely used as
weapon IN the contest, is lost on men who know
not the word party, who are not aware of
possessing political rights, and who WELD the
sword Tor rapacious rulers, instead of principles.
