English and French champions of free

only with the king, but also with the internal
administration of Grecian affairs, turning out
all the former office holders throughout the
kingdom and substituting invariably such
men as they hope will favor foreign interests.

| Whilst we feel no peculiar admiration for
the descendants of race of heroes, if they
are themselves entirely degenerate and de-
based we cannot concede that this is true of
the modern Greeks. Although fallen from
their ancient estate, their gallant deeds on re-
peated occasions have proved that the blood
of their brave ancestors still flows warmly in
their veins. They have also shown, wher-
| ever scattered throughout the East great
capabilities of Improvement and it is well
known that the only Improvement which
modern civilization has been able to effect in
| Turkey has been among the Greek popula-
| ton. 1t is such q people: people whose
very name appeals to all that is heroic, noble
| and generous in the human heart; people
| capable of becoming great, prosperous and
free; people who have been subjected to
| the most infamous cruelties and expressions
by the savage Turks a Christian people, that
| England and France are crushing to the
earth, and permitting to become the helpless
victims of Ottoman barbarity, while they ap-
peal to the sympathies of the world as the
champions of freedom and the enemies of
despotism!
| 1t is imposSibleto sympathise with England
and France in the present contest. Ameri
cans see them in their true character. They
are the champions OF barbarism, of infdelity
OF oppression. Every civilized christian and
free man must hope for their utter discount
| ture.
