BRITISH RECRUITING IN THE UNITED STATES.

BRITISH RECRUITING IN THE UNITED STATED
Nothing has occurred during the present generation so
damaging to the interests and the influence Of Great
Britain Ia the United States the outrageous and scam
dalous attempts she has been making during the last SIX
msnhs TO raise troops in this country This undertaking
Of hers has encountered throughout the United States,
from Of all and every possible shade Of opn-
ion and party unanimous cry Of pity, Of contempt
and Of indignation Those among who still entertain
kindly recolecons Of father land have been moved
with compassion it fallen low as to find its race
Of exhausted lis population reduced 10 selfish rich
and unpatriotic poor men, alike incapable IN the me
Of need furnish armies which incapaciy IS The last
evidence Of national abasement and decrepitude
Then again have been mpeled 10 look with scorn on
The inortness Of that governing class in England With

Hungary Italy has itself by similar misgoyernment de-
populated Celtic ireland and which, while il eans about
The imaginary wrongs Of the coloed farm ahoers ~ the
United States has through the agency Of its kdgoVed
phanhropsts, like the Sutherlands expelled the High
land peasautry from their ancient homes with ERE and
sword and so depopuated Celtic Scotland, and Their
plunges into great war without any means to raise
troops except 10 buy them in Switzerland Sardinia, to
beg or borrow them Turkey TO steal them in Ger
many in the Netherlands in the United States. Above
AL the people of this country have been filed with ire
pressibe indignation seeing Great Britain presume
to enter into the United States for the purpose of
raising troops here in fragrant violation of our ma
onal sovereignty, Of neutrality and even of Gus
statute laws, and adding insult to injury by assu-
ming that it is al well, provided her governors and
consuls by ingenious tricks contrve TO eyade the
letter of our statutes quite regardless of the sovereign
rights and public peace Of the United States.
The Union has more than spoken freely on this
subject but in language of stronger reprobation than
that used by British Journals will be by the article
which we give in continuation from the London Daily
Chronicle of the 10Th Of July:
