Thus it will be seen that these ''illustrious
exiles," who have as yet scarcely snufied the
free air of America, and are not citizens of the
United States, have undertaken to enlighten us
on the most important subjects of our foreign
and domestic policy. First, they set themselves
up in direct opposition to law Of the United
States, based on provision of the Constitution.
Secondly, they undertake to direct us in the
disposal of the public lands. Thirdly, they
point out TO us the proper policy to be pursued
in relation to Central America, in which per-
fectly agree with them. Fourthly and filthy,
with unexamped modesty they assure the good
people of the United States, that "they do not
consider the tariff and internal Improvement
questions as coming up to the standard of their
principles, but as mere questions of convent
ence."
IL seems to me these worshipful exiles do not
so much seek this country with a view to enjoy
the blessings it confers, and sustaining that gov
eminent by which they are secured, but to prop
ogate their mischievous, disorganizing notions,
and prepare the way for its dissolution. With
an insolent presumption beyond all example,
their first step on landing on our soil is to in
terfere with the policy of thecountry, to under

The time is, perhaps not far distant when all
