England and the United States
The London Times has got hold
Of the 0stend correspondence and the
Joye of the Press let's fly some Of
its most carefully prepared and
choicest thunder-bolts at it. It is
dreadfully exercised at the stealing
propensities of Anglo-AmeFican ma
|ture, quite forgetting, honest Olym-
plan! that We inherited our thievish
disposition by direct descent, with
our blood and language, from the
loins Of our virtuous old mother Eng
land.
The following extract has strong
Abolition smack, and will be highly
applauded to the North of US. On
the subject of Cuba it says:
"Far from being a cause of union
and strength to the people of Amer
lea, we are satisfied that war begun
for SO a!rocious an object, defended
by such arguments as these, and tend
ing to such fatal results, would be OPP
posed by no inconsiderable part of the
the States. The freemen of America
would ask how long they are to endure
the opprobrium and participate in the
guilt of slave owners and slave States,
whose simplest notions of morality
and duty are tainted by the institu-
ton under which they live; the hardy
States of the North would not send
down their forces to rivet letters on
the slaves of Cuba, and to place in the
Senate of the Union the representa-
tives of another slaveholding commu.
nifty; and the reaction would extend
with alarming violence against the
interests of the slave owners in the
South. By the nature of things, that
conflict would be fought out, not on
the soil of Cuba-the battle must be
lost or won in the heart of the United
States
The New York Herald gives a

The London Press Oh, american
AfGrs-The London Times has a
couple of articles on American affairs
which we republish elsewhere. Both
refer mainly to the Cuba question,
and are full Of the old rubbish about
its being sho cking thing to covet
your neighbours wife, his OK, his ass,
or anything that is his. For an
answer to all which our London con-
temporary may safely refer to the
history Of q nation which has been

dren as a model of fair dealing,eq
and honor-England in short. After
being herself the prey Of three diff
ferent races of plunderers, Danes, Sax
ons and Normans, all OF whom were
professionals, living on what they
stole, and having intermarried with
the fair British girls, begat the pres
ent race Of British grumblers at
American dishonesty. England began
her own history by plundering the
Scotch, who in return plundered the
English. Afterward, she plundered
the French, and took from them
nearly all of the Northern and most
of the Western Provinces. She then
plundered the Irish who being wild
sort Of people, and wretchedly I'M
civilized, spent their time in plumber
ing each other, instead of the world.
Passing to foreign countries, England
plundered the indians Of North A.
merica and killed a few formurmuring;
from which act Of rapine ultimately
grew the United States. In Asia,
the same England plundered a few
score Of native potentates, and took
their dominions. TO mention small
grabs such as Malta, Gibraltar, ia
maioa, would hardly repay the troub-
lie. Suffice it to say, that from first
to last, the glorious Anglo Saxon
race has always been raee of plum
derers, and so far from obeying the
ninth commandment, have never been
able to see any one in possession Of
that was desirable without
,ovetipg it and taking it on the spot,
f, as the members of the Ostend
Conference said, they were strong
enough to do SO.
