AMERICAN TOADYIsM

A London correspondent of the Boston
Post corrects malicious report OF the
English press, that at the 4th of July dinner.
given at Richmond, England, by Mr.. Pea
body, the wealthy American Banker, several
American gentlemen did not rise when the
President of the U. s. was proposed, and this
circumstance is made to contrast with the
great unsnimity and enthusiasm manifested
when the Queen was drunk The facts, saws
the correspondent of the Post, are briefly
these:
This being an entertainment ayovedlv g;ve, a.,
comnemoration OF our National Independence the
Americans present were greatly surprised to met

eesher unfounded, and that all honor would be
The truth il, that capital blunder was commit
ted 10 inviting Englishmen to such celebration
Only think OF singing " Hail Columbia and 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" with all illusions to Eng
land that might be deemed Questionable omit
tedl And Jet this was done. Jefferson was not
alluded TO. An Englishman was selected to pro-
pose sthe memory of Washington" &c. Need /
add that, under such circumstances, | felt It to
be my duty to leave the table Ia disgusts-and Mr..
buchanan only remained because he knew that his
rising would have at once broken up the affair in
confusion and anger.
The truth is, that capital blunder was
committed" when certain Americans were
born in the United States. Great Britain is
the region where the whole race of toadies
ought to have first inhaled the vital air. What
burning blush must such an exhibition as
that of Peabody have brought on the cheeks
of every American present! If these men
admire England so excessively, why do they
not initiate English pride and selfrespeeta p
If they really consider their own race an in
ferior one, they need not degrade themselves
below humanity, and become mere spaniels.
We would not cultivate feelings of nation
al hostility. We would pass over, forget and
forgive the unnumbered wrongs and indigni-
ties which this country has received in for
mer times from Great Britain. We would not
have Americans in England assume the i'll
Bred impertinent and arrogant airs of British
travellers in America. But we wish that all
our countrymen would carry their republican
theory into practice, and walk among mobiles
and princes with the conscious dignity of the
sovereigns they claim to be. Until Ameri-
cans learn to respect themselves and their
country, they deserve to be treated as an in
ferior people.

HILL.
Oh. worthy neighbors, one and all,
If we worthy of your call;
There is a street upon Church Hill,
Call twenty-four, you know it well.
We all in one accord agree
To make the street as 1t should be;
We all have strivn with kind oblige,
And raised DER it wooden bridge.
We are ordained the truth to tell,
r One of our neigh bors sunk a well,
And right upon this very street,
Where law aud justice does not meet,
This man, unjust so impo!ite,
Did this through mean oficious spite.
But still the law will have its course,
And public opinion will enforce.
That no such breach of public rights
Shsll be allowed upon our streets.
Although we in the country iive
Our courts viii rights to neighbors give:
/ pity friends should disagree,
But az it is it still shall be.
IT'S true we often him did tell
That it was wrong to sink this well;
But he through envy would insist
Against his neighbors' kind request.
But the next court day we do calb ~
On justice then to settle sll;
II his cause be right or just,
To trample on the public trust jy 26-2ts

Coon SERVANTS, both white and black,
are very scarce at this time and command high
wages. White women, accustomed to doing the
work of smaffamilies, readily receive five and six
dollars per month"; and negro woman hire for five
and six dollars per month or sixty and seventy
by the year. We have very little doubtthat one or
two hundred white girls, we'll recommended, could
find constant employment and good homes in this
city, in the course OF one week. We are unable to
account for the great demand for female labor at
this time, unless it be- that the owners of slaves
are employing them in the country.
