ISM PRESS.
The London press does from
Al the lack o sympathy the pat Of anesans with their
English brethren fighting in the Crimea Waving ali discus
sion the merits of the controversy they cannot under
stand how great branch Of the AngloSaxon family
can see another engaged in bloody war with so little
emotion The mere fact Of brotbeAoodthe identity OF
race and language and community O. political prnci-
ples-ough in their opinion, TO make a British triumph
quite as dear to American as 10 British heart And
they denounoe without stint false origin and
race orgenl of the sacred ties OF consangainty
for the evident Indifference with which watch the
doubtful fortunes Of the war that RACES in the distant
East
We might attach weight 10 these circumstances,
so warmly and patheteally urged If experience had
revealed their hypocrisy We remember very well the
Of the British press when were engaged in war
We remember how little ties OF blood identity Of language
and Of race and all that OF thing for them In
stead Of rejoicing in Ango-Saxon yaor and sharing with
the Civilizations Of victory British brethren expend-
sd their energies in sneering generals rdieulng
armies earicaturing battles classifying actions
and ylifying in every possible That may
not be thought too sweeping in thus charac,erzng the
language OF the British press copy of the null
titude OF articles they devoted the Mexican warone
from the London Times, aud the other from the News
and appeal them evidence of our statement that
nothing could be insulting offensive our ma
ona pride than The language then used by affection
ate brethren across The water.
The reader Of these articles win not fail 10 notice how
exactly their censare then vented upon us fall upon
their heads IL II now says the Times Tin ls47
much matter Of debate in the Senate phy he rsor
commenced hor Be conducted and schea Il s b
Be concluded Could any phrase more accurately describe
the debates in Parliament In the public law Of
the New World adds the Times "a stafus 5eki will De
equivalent bella and no further justification Of
fae elt fr~E fSaa .
Is this precisely the principle which the Times itself
daily insists upon the necessity Of prosecuting the
war The Americans moreover, says the TINES had no
very exact idea Of the object Of their war; and Of all
how ii be attained what they were TO win and
how they keep IL points which the event
showed they had settled opinion Is the case very DIFF
fereni with the English in the present WARP The Mexi-
moreover the hardest OF a nations 10 conquer
"ihey have abundance Of ROOM and always elude
battle they have centre Of power which mortal
blow can be aimed they have the advantage well
the disadvantage of low political organic on and are
far easily scotched than killed. Has not the Times
found this to be quite of Russia Of Mexico
But in its eers at the American army, Anglo-Saxon
brother becomes conspcuousy acetous and prophetic
Evidently unconscious like ali who prognosticate the flu
ture of the full meaning Of his words the Times pretend
ing to sketch the condition of the army in lsa
describes the English in aThey have no army and
hare constitutional objections raising We adver-
tsed for 10000 volunteers aud 100000 offered their sen
vices England has in vain tried raise 10000 a, home
bought the services of small force in Sardinia called on
Der colonies for help and has finally agents steal
aid, under false preences from the United States They
have no money, and resontey determined to find
none We paid the whole OF the with less than
England has spent in fairly commencing hers aThey
have generals and have just agreed TO have
Our generals such they mere succeeded in everything
they undertook the British generals thus far have done
nth hvs sVev
sense OF their ignorance and imbecility Yet they
have either to continue war Of which nobody can Tn
The coa or The conclusion, to confess their folly and
their heplessness BY ridiculous retreat How could
language accurately describe the condition of the
English at Sebastopol, excep, that for them retreat
IS quite SIS impossible conquest And the Times
closes its article by elaborate picture Of The cost of our
war-whieh however, would in the least answer for
its own BY the present English plan Of operations
against Russia said the Times long ago as March l5
forty thousand lives and srty millions Of dollars have al
ready been expended in the siege of Sebasopo Since that
time these figures have been doubled The London News
with similar display Of broherly love makes itself merry
over the exposure Of American troops the OF
tropical climate which will Kill them Of Ike usrmiu in
the mtphitic sreo dell cGnn The idea certainly
sngi do not care however extend the comparison
to the troops exposed TO the pesenia vapors
ted by the hot OF the Cmea falling upon thousands
of half-buried corpses the allied camp
We might I'LL our columns with articles similar TO those
we copy this morning from the London Times and News
upon our war with Mexico No thought of brotherhood
ties Of blood then deferred the English press from ex-
uling everything that promised defeat to the Aer-
from denouncing with the utmost virulence
every step took subdue enemy and the
a successful issue They have no right TO ask us to
forget all this or to expce, hands sympathy and en-
enlargement in return FOR consumely and scorn.
