an unjust attack should be made upon al officer OF II
American Government by man who at the moment 9
uttered H. wss euioyi ing American hospitality.

Gov Marcy's snti-AmeTiean fng at the exiled victims
OF kindly peridy and yolencs-much less can We con-

out OF tue record to alsail such men G5 Mitchell with
drarscng and opprobrious ephets sni il is but the

Tor the fact is just here, ard viii change it
BY shutting Lis eyes TO it, that this same American
Republic is the most dangerous anl most detes.el

more SUCH they know very well, would he nowise for
