Some of the Canadian journals, like most
of the English press, are in terrible rage
at what they are pleased to Germ "American
sympathy with Russia" The Streetsvlile
Weekly Review, published in Canada gives
vent to its wrath in the following imPerti-
nent strain:
"Beyond all contro versy, Jonathan is one
of the dir,iest and most sneaking dogs which
the world, at present, exhibits.
"The denizens of Dollardom, taken as q
mass, openly profess a sympathy for the
tyrannical Car! Yes, the very people who
perpetrated the damnable sin of rebellion
against their legitimate Sovereign, because,
as they mendacously asserted, he infringed
upon their natural rights, these very repro
bates, we say, are cheering on the most over
bearing and Unsuitable bully who ever wore
the ensignia OF royalty!
fright thankful are we that Jonathan has
come out in such an open and undisguised
manner. Canada is enthusiastically watch.
ing the war now wagipg in the Crimea, and
ungrudgingly aided the same with her means
and substance. II ever she had the slightest
leaning towards an incorporation with the
United States, that leaning must be now
thoroughly destroyed. Never will she dream
of amalgamating with race ofwhite-livered
solutions, who shuttle out TIE Deums Of graf
ulaton at every temporary check which the
arms of our Sovereign have received during
the present campaign"
We think the Review rather mistakes the
feelings of Brother Jonathan on this subject
There is probably Uut small portion oil
Americans, or men of Republican hearts in
any part of the world, who would really like
to see Russian despotism succeed in thi:
struggle. Certainly no thinking man, nc
man who really understands the difference
between the comparative Republicanism o.
England and France by the side Of the one
man despotism of Russia, could wish for q
moment, that the latter power might succeed
in strife, wherein her success would be the
heaviest blow ever struck in the battles o
the world for the strengthening and exten
sion of monarchial despotism. But it is hare
for the American heart to prevent its sympa
thies leaning somewhat toward that ont
power, which solitary and alone is defending
itself against the armies of three mighty ma
tions-especially when one Of those attack
ing powers is the very one in the face o
which this people "perpetrated the damnabl
act of rebellion" And when we recollect
too, the aggressions of this same government
its bullying of weaker powers, its braggado
cia spirit and its overbearing disposition Of
every occasion, with the freque ntly expressed
contempt of its orators and newspapers o
everything connected with us-the grea
American heart does not in even this struggl
extend Great Britain probablyiall the sympa
thy she deserves for fighting against that com
mon robber and tyrant among nations-th
Russian Empire. Yet there are too stron
bonds of consanguinity and friendship and in
terest. oflanguage and similarity of pursuit.
between the people Of England and of th
country, and too broad and deep feeling
among our people of hatred to all govern
ment resembling the Russian, to perm
Americans as people and as governmer

A lesson of humiliation might probably
