New YORK, Dec. 20, 1916.


The debate which has been carried ON in the House
Representatives, in reference to the Mexican war, is
looked upon here eminently useful to the country al
large The onslaught ATTEMPTED by the federasts upor
comfort to the enemy" Where is Daniel Webster and
his motion OF impeachment! Why not move in this
tempt to thwar the action of the Executive, while the
the country is engaged in foreign war Did he moi
during the last war; while member of the other House
vote against all supplies Tor the army and navy' Did he
aid and counenance the reasonable Hartford convention
Did he not during our late difficulties with France de-
care thatif he enemy were baerlng down the pillars
Of the Capitol he would not sanction the acts OF the then
President General Jackson .. Ja#
Who, then better fitted in the whole federal army to
move the impeachment of the President for wagng a
Capitol perhaps, for the purpose Of getting rid OF
necessary votes and explanations which it might be un-
pleasant to give and the matter has been left with two
nent fcderalists from Kentucky and Tennessee Alas
the godlike has ntrused his calling to most unwse and
mlserably weak hands.
Federalism now, as in the war of 1872 follows its ma
tual instinct of hostility to its own government, in
giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" though less
bold now than then. They now threaten and talk and
write, all OF which is copied into the enemys and the
European press as an evidence of the hostility felt
among our own people towards the acts Of the govern
ment, but they little careful than during
the last Of their vote. They dislike the record II
therefore becomes necessary that every federal speech
should be faithfully reported and PRESCRIBED II is
cellent idea, that OF the Ohio Patriot of opening war
register" in every town. where should be set down in
black and white every traorous sentiment of these
at some future day. The Globe Of this city had an
excellent suggestion few days since which was, that
every democrat should take special pains to care
fully preserve every federal paper that uttered "mo
raj treason" or gave " aid and comfort to the
enemy" by slandering the government and country
every such paper. The course of the federal party
during the last has consigned them to political in
fanny since, and am much mistaken il the present
course OF the same party does not relieve them from all
power and influence for another quarter of century at
least. Save the papers.
Your European correspondent, "Americanus" is Justly
indignant at the anderous tone assumed by "A Genevese
Traveller" New York correspondent of the London
Times towards his country He catches up all the
federal slang OF the dayspeaks of the unpopularty OF
story of the expenses being half million
ay-the poverty of the people and their unwillngness
TO aid the governmental OF which is duly commented
upon by the European press and their capitalists warned
against subscribing to any American loans to carry
the war.
The perperator OF this wckedness suggests your cor
respondent shoud be erreted out from his sanctuary,
be il secure, and visited with perpetual frowns OF
an injured and insulted nation"
When he is informed that he is mere ackall OF the
federal party, eulogizer OF Webster follower of
Clay and his mouth-pe Carrot Davis il NAV be all
that necessary but when he is further informed that
this Geneyese Traveller" is other than Matthew L.
Davis the biographer and friend of Aaron Burr he will
probably cease TO be surprised He is active federal
wing OF the city of New Yorka "Calm Observer for
The National lntelligencera fit parsonage to pour out
his innate hatred of republican governments through fed
sra organs and English tory presses Let us save the
papers.
