A Nation Of Pirates. 4
Eogland on the map Of the world Is but
mere spot, little isolated island, whose territory
is comparatively Insignificant. But this little
kingdom possesses power to an almost unlimited
extent. 1t has planied colonies all over the world
--and 10 quote the bossiful language Of ono of
her own statesmen, .the sun never sets on Bril-
tish territory" She has her armies and nayics in
Europe, America, Africa, Asia, and in the islands
lof the seas. She has been a plunderer on the
land and pirate on the ocean. Her whole OBJ
ject has been 10 conquer and subdue, not only
heathen but christian nations. Her colossal mil
Iitaiy power has been employed in robbing other
nations of their rightful possessions subduing
the weak and utimidating and brow-beatiug the
strong. Rome, in the days OF her glory and
Isplendor, did not possess the power that Englan
now does; and we predict the latter will decline
and fall like the former, leaving scarcely vest
igc of her present greatness.
England having succeeded in obtaining good
slice off the territory of Maine, she is now deter
mined to secure The best half of Oregon, which
will enable her TO monopoise the entire trade of
1.-The Pacific ocean; and there are federal editors
who are so short-sighled as to favor her preten.
