Bot it was hailed in England with rapsurous en-
thusissm. Without one dissentien. mlrmar the
press cf that country pronounced this maxim Of
somewhat barbsrous Empire as near perfection as
any imitation Of the original English, Of coursel

truth.
At he very moment when these Peans were
rising from printing hOuse square, and every minor
and initiative establishment in the great word OF
journalism, the English Minister was chuckling
over bis success in srrestiDg principles vital to
America at home, and importsRt enoGsh to compel
her Interference abroad wherever they are laSleIs-
y attacked, 10 violation Of the faith Of nations.
That they were checked and crushed in this in
stance is matter Of boast-of indecent boast Tnas
this interference was in asgrant violation Of the
existing understanding amOrg nations, to which
the faith Of each is mutually pledged, is equally
clear, II not avowed with the same arrogance.
Yes, his Lordship says, we did interfere, and
that interference was contrary to usage and con

Bourbon Of Naples our mediation, as proof Of ar
friendship FOR an old and faithful ally aud We
recommended certain conditions on which he could
retain his double crown while we were offering
that crown to another in violation OF friendship
and in aid of liberty. We lied to him, too, for our
object was to prevent the establishment Of Demo
cratic Republics. Friendship, honor, public faith,
ruth-all were violated to crush r Republication.
Revolt was encouraged, blood was she'd more
than Ole people were engaged in the horrors Of
war, to crush Republicansm, and when its dangers
were averted, for the same end these people were
ruthessly betrayed.
