that SO many Of our married ane single danes well as
aspiring young gentlemen abroad TO improve their
anners at the expense Of their morals IL must be
fosaa that like the Russians in state Of semibar-
arism and that shall be fairly entitled 10 pass
muster in Europe until disguise feelings under
the mask Of impenetrabe hypocrisy and cloak our ambi
lion by the convenient preex Of establishing general
equilibrium OF power Without meaning affirm that Mr.
ddings disciple OF the Soperdes Of Paris that
Congress sometimes little the order of the bear
garden shall not hesitate TO express decided prefer
once Of trhing democratic melee and then In the
House the miserable silent subseryency Of Louis Ma
poeons senate which registers the imperial edicts with
solemn gravity worthy the obsequous Parliament OF his
great predecessor and namesake, Louis lie Grande
But my purpose is not to dispute the palm OF manners
with the elite of Paris There far important
Elections arising of this significant extract coupled
with other indications OF the policy Of the entente cora
America says imperial organ ais impeed in her in
ternatonal relations by lust Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT which
causes her openly disregard the bestesabshed rights
to pcrvert all questions to quarrels which might
easily be settled IL they left within their real limits
We hold the proof of what assert in the message which
the President Of the United States addressed the House Of
Representatives concerning the seizure of the Black War
ror This attitude Of Europe may admonsh America that
there is this side Of the Atlantic sentiment OF sodarHy
which it would be imprudent to disquiet or Offend
Is this combined with hundred other indications
amply sufficient to the United States what they
to expect from the triumph Of England and France
Russia Is this the language Of manifesto such
usually precedes declaration of WARP At the
nent that England is caoling France threatening and
with htuity Of piece with their ambidexer policy in
the Old World they hope disafm all opposition in the
United States by every day convincing them Of the
sy of preparing oppose their designs thus apparently
expecting to win the game by showing their hands
The people of the United States are trust shrewd
and clearsghed be deuded by the arts and efforts Of
foreign and internal enemeshe parsans and purchased
tools Of Englandino the preposterous notion that the
protecting powers fighting the battles of freedom
andindependence They in fact consolidating armed
Intervention in the internal affairs of every nation Of
Europe and America they acting principles which
II successfully carried out win destroy the independence
Of all nations and render themselves the arbiters OF the
world. What reliance be placed in their profess
sions Of abstinence from all future acquisitions when
we them making new acquisitions almost every
where Who will be bold enough to guaranty that should
they humble Russia and establish the integrity Of the OF
tonan empire they will demand from that power in
identification for portion least of the blood and
treasure expended in its defence which only be OBJ
tanned by concessions of territory And above all who
will dare to predict that when they have placed Russia
their feet (f such thing is possible) they will
bine they have declared they WILL in the accomplish
of task equally difcuthat of establishing BAL
of power in the New World which they only do
by first wheedlng and then bullying the United States
Already have they pracsed the receptions the
people of the United States by presenting themselves to the
world the representatives of of civilization against
barbarism and the champions of freedom while uphold
ing nfexibe civil and religious desposm, and the
time openly assisting in quelling the efforts of the
Greek Christians to relieve themselves from the CALLING
yoke of centuries With insulting reliance the

Jeed by the Sultan and replaced BY declaration Of
Well might the Car complain that England seemed

charge the British minister with having deceived him If
not Intentionally at least by his wavering procrastinatng
policy. But let the Car defend himself which, If
mistaken he is quite capable Of doing both with sword aud
pen have little interest in his failure except
so far as ] cannot help seeing that either way, ii

and prosperity of my country shall dictate this
point but content myself with asking what would be the
probable effect If the vast directed against
Russia should become unnecessary by the submission Of
the Car to the terms dictated by France and England and
their efforts be directed TO quellng restricting that
