We do not hold all England RESPONSE
BILE for the venalty. drunkenness, and
'iolous behavior Of the Newport voters
and their friends; but We might do so
with vastly more justice than Mr.. D.
israeli exhibited in his structures on
American elections. If Newport we're
alone in its disgrace, it would be a t.off
TO New York, with. in fact, fe wer exten.
""''ng circumstances than may be urged
in behalf of the latter city but it is no.
to'iou. that the WEIGH borough presents
no vice or violence which has not its
parallel on similar occasions in every
county in England. Our country and
