So it is unknown how many bloody noses aud

Denmark. 1t is an uncommoDly judcious plaa.
1t sounds well 1t is as good cry as Taper or
Tadpole could crave. The wrongs of this long
suffering nation are to be rghted. The INJURIES
worked to our Saxon ancestors by EIubba and
SVEN and Canute, and the rest of those old fill
busters of the North, are to be avenged. The
Yankee shippers are no longer to be bid to stand
and deliver at Elsinore, but to go their watery
ways in peace, unfrighted BY the appsrtiOn of the
toll-gaherer, more dreadful than that Of Hamlet's
father who whilome made night hideous there.
To be sure, they never knew the extent of their
suferinps until it was duly notified to them from
Waship gton They, honest, simple sous, thought
the pay ment of the Sound dues as much thing in
the course OF nature as the ebbing and flowing Of
the tides, or as the payment of their poll tax or
pew.tax at home. They just clapPed the amount
on the goods they fetched and carried made the
consumer pay the piper, and thought no more
about the matter But President Pierce woke
them up one morning, and behold, they were
martyrs
We do not propose Ell tering here into the right
and wrong of the exactOn of those dues by Den
mark But right or wrong, the question Is not
stirred now for the effect it is to have on the pass

take q squint toward the Moth for the common
good just now. Then Justice from Denmark will be

The matter may be slowed in nutshell no big

is Northern trade Little or no cotton passes
through the Sound. 1t is the Northern merchants
alone who suffer by these impositions of Den
mark Now war with that power, even sup
posing it did not draw into its vortex France and
England, would materially endanger the transit of
cotton across the ocean; for it is not likely that
all the piratical blood of the old sea kings is
drained out of the Morse veins. And as Presden,
