II cannot he doubted that there newspapers IN the

those prints professedly American, whose tastes ana
procliyies are foreign and European, and Who IN every
dispute between the United States and any foreign power
since General Jackson elected President have been
the apoogsts and defenders of the foreign power, and
whose tone and course CON amore defensive and
laudatory of the socaed Legitimate institutions GUS
toms, and policy OF the monarchical nations OF Europe
Those journals can readily be identified by the denun
cations so often to be found in their columns, OF those
who seek to establish the principles OF civil, POLITICAL
and religious liberty in those nations as anarchists

with which they copy everything from the British tory
presses and their kindred papers on the continent hose

the defeat of patriot army, and by their raven'hke

do We have heretofore often had cause-and doubtless
we shall again have causeto direct the attention OF the
American people to the antepubcan courses OF some
Of these presses distinguished for their foreign and
monarchical partaes and anpathies but our present
purpose is to attract notice TO somewhat different ana
more worthy class of newspaper publications In the Uni

promote in this country the policy and views OF
foreign monarchies against the policy and views OF
the United States We do not hesitate to say, that
we do not apprehend any danger ffom such papers
There is much greater danger to our institutions IN
the sinister and nsdious course OF journals pro-
fessedy American. Our institutions can Withstand
the assaults however fierce, Of open enemies emily

presses are not to be feared in the United States The
divine truths of political freedom, Of civil freedom, and
of religious freedom-the rights of man-are invulner

far from weakening institutions, they tend to strength

tons Of open monarchica presses sure beacons to
any pilot guiding the ship Of State, that there are
breakers near and the censures Of such presses are
sure indications that the ship is the right tack To
their columns the American republican can refer, to
discover the Vaccinations of the enemy, sometimes let
out through simplicity. and al others displayed by the
effort TO conceal" The well understood farandua" oil
whigery is sometimes there disclosed.
We have been induced to make these remarks by an
editorial in Spanish newspaper published in New York.
called La Cronica, which publish below. II is sus
pected that La Cronioa has been established and lis sup
ported by agents Of the Spanish and OF the Captain
General of Cuba and that il is controlled and managed
by secret agents in the United States In connexion with
this il il be rue the limitations in this editorial are not
unmportant, but they become quite significant and an
tereaing The foreign monarchica diplomats in this
country are generally well advised in advance OF the
plans OF the wing party and of their leaders. Whether
such knowledge arises from ntutve sagacty-is mere

or is derived from confidential communications, II is not
worth while to inquire Association begets sympathy,
and sympathy begets confidence, between kindred souls
And is not unlikely that apologies have been made by
some OF the wing leaders for apparent deseron from
their cause II So the wing leaders should be more eau
tous and not dvulge their intended drtJees to i'm
