Mr.. Fillmore's European tour has bound foreign
nations to America with hooks of steel. Without
PRIDE pomp or ostentation, he shakes the peasants
hand with far more cordiaty than he does the kings
Hilton Chronicle
Is it possible: What foreign nations ?"-that's
the question. And then again aohat right-mark
us, Mr.. Evans !-aohat right has Mr. Fillmore to be
shocking and "steeling" foreign nations to this
country? That's another question. And tnen
again, ,ohat right has Mr.. Fillmore as peaceable
and just man, to slight the Kings of Europe by shak
ing the hands of peasants with more cordialty than
he does their hands? Beware, Mr.. Evans be-
ware, Charles!-you stirring up war between the
two Continents. Ah, but how simple Mr.. Fillmore
is!-no "pomp," nor "pride," nor " ostentation ''
he just says "h how are you, Mr.. King-and how
dedoo, Mr.. Emperor "-and passes on. We trust
some friendly and well-disposed person in Milton
will give Evans talk Thrashing about thus. and
Lying about loose" in this manner, like Major
Joness milk, he'll do damage to something some of
these years.
