but that it is the common property Of all the

Such sentiments ~ these, ore only worthy
of an authority that proposes to traffic large

The theory of the politicians of the Union

that the American government was not q

titled to exclusive privileges, but that it is
nothing more or less than the whole world
and all the people Of the world. There is
to them nothing exclusive in the political
rights of men born here, no privilege which

These politicians appear to have lost all
ideas Of American interests and American
policy, in the fervor Of their zeal in behalf
of foreign alliance and foreign influence

fostering Of American mechanics, and the
looking to the rights Of American men, they
seem to regard a. trenching upon the rights
