iginates in blunder, and blunders from
first to last in attributiug to us the state
msnts of Mr.. II. G. CAREY in his new work
on The Harmony of Interests from which
we extracted, with ample credit, the portion
which has provoked Bull to the following
exhibition. With this single explanation we
make room for his letter, and leave it with
out reply:
NEw-YosK, July ls, Is4A
To the ESi'Or Of the Tr'bms:
SIR: On perssirg in your paper Of this day your
observations headed Agriculture and Protection
l see so many errors, absurd assertions, in the
same, that l feel myself constrained to inquire
how as man you can go so strangely away from
truth. Yoa say that population in Europe ia held
to be superabuudsnt ana that marriage is regarded
as luxury. Is this true sentiment Ask on.
Of every 10 Englishmen and they will say q, once
the assertion false. There are more marriages
now taking place than 90 years ago. The para.
graph beginning with "the state OF the country 10

rascaly Irish papers, but wheni Why assa,sina.
TORS or murders are less now than ever at any
period in Europe cannot help being astouished
at a man OF talent like yourself falling in WITH
sertons sippy because such assertions are agains.
Great Britain. Ask oct OF every 10 Irishmen as

the contrary. Land is so far from deere asipg in

say, or l will prove you liar. Your assertions,
also, as 10 the West Indies, &c. is VIGOROUSLY in
correct and false.
You say that every colony of England would
gladly separate from her. term you a mistaken
man and ask you to prove it. Why do you make
such false statementsl You assert that the main

wolves the payment Of taxes to an amount that's
terrific What lying assertion this is. The total
expenditure Of English Colonies to the Government
OF England in 1896 was only e. 900, and pre-.
sumo the profit to England arising from those Col
oDi.s amounts at least TO that amount. You say
India is ruined. The Eas! Indies were never so
fourishing and the people never 50 contented as
now.
am astonished at your rabid remarks against
Great Britain-a country respected by even her
enemies. How il II, Sir, that every American that
goes 10 Europe, abominates the shabby, paltry
Government at Washington lone Of the weskes,
paltriest in ezistence--whose members are booted
at as thes and rascas by the people Cas you
deny Sir that seven-tenths at least Of the wealthy
men in this country hate and abomnste the repub-
lican 81 stem, and would 70 God stable constltu-
tionsl monarchy was in its place.
Sir the republican system is leveling and abas.
ing How can talent and genius rise, when clod-
pate can legislate as well as a man OF talent
himself here is by falling in vito the opinions Of
levelipg mob like Jour makers OF Jadges, &c. and
uaducing the model country England. Who are
your NEE in CoDgressl What man Of talent or Of
heaven born genius would associate with parcel

British there is more real liberty than ia the Uni-
ted States. One would imagine that this coantry
was made by and through her silly republican no.
tons. Why, sir, the population and progress were
greater up to the time OF her separation from Great
Britain than It is now comparatively speaking, and
doubtless II the States had continued under the
sway Of Great Britain the population and commerce
would have been greater than ii is now IL the
whole OF Europe were to come to America there is
room; but, heaven help me, is this wing to her re-
publican notions and governments No, sir, simp.
ly TO nature. Can you deny, sir that your princi

are EnglshmeD, Irishmen and Scotchmen land
yet even the framing Of those splendid steamboats,
A,lsntic and Pacific are ascrbed TO Yankees. Fie,
for shame. Where, sir, are your Diyines, Poets,

great deal Of superficial learning Just raising man

thing in this country being leveing in ideas becomes
downward in tendency. Here you regard women
not as intelligent beings, but as dolls and, conse

produce How your Ply mouth fathers would be

Nine tenths OF those who are wealthy hate, sir, and
abomlnate their government in their minds, and
only wait till body Is formed to throw aside the
leyeling system.
The Civil Government Of Great Britain Is bat
small and does not show such a great contrast to
n at of the United States. The army and navy Of
Great Britain in 1871 cost seven and half mil
lions OF sterling money. The expense Of the army
and navy in the United States in lsi7 was ye and
a half millions sterling Of money. Why, then,
Mr. Greeley, run down Great Britain Why,
Sir the expenses Of the Government Of the United
States is greater than that Of Russia and il il
were DO, for the interest Of the national debt Of
Grea. Britain, E29 1000 900, the tax would be less
felt considerably than 10 the United States What
an immense repudiated debt 10 wing IN honor By
your States. Why, Sir, If il had not been for the
sale o. public lands in the United States your gen.
eral debt would have been at least 80, OOO, 900
sterling taking into account the rascslly sons oT.
ing by the diieren. States.
remark your observations as 10 China being a
paradse-pOor deyils-though the best diet you
say, they ge, is rice, fish and vegetables. On the
subject Of China, will just observe, that, so far
from its being q paradise, il is an hell in m any
respects. What says the celebrated traveller Nj
