country she smotheycj her feelings until fayor-
abe opportunity shoold enable her to recover
that She bad lost. That opportunity occurred
in the year 1912, when she again gave rs bt:tle,
but met with no better success than in the ior-
mer war.
Since that time England has laid aside all
thoughts of subjugatng this country by the
force of arms, and has established the most am
icable relations with us, and has become the
great msrket for our cotton our tobacco and rice;
and many people in this country Judging from
this external semblance offrendship on the part
of England, have fondIy imagined that the old
grudge has long since died out out and is for
gotten-that the causes which produced the rup-
ture between the two nations have been reno
ved and that nothing now exists to interrupt |
the harmony between the two countries.
But let no man be deceived. England is the
natural enemy of this country; England is try
ing to divide this nation; England is at the head
of aAmericanisln,' at the head of Abolitionsm,
at the head Of the slave power, and England is
trying to effect the ruin of this Republic. Be-
fore we proceed to justify these remarks, let
us examine whether there is any cause why the
Government of Great Britain should continue
hostile to this country. When we examine the
forms of government which regulate the two
nations, we find them directly opposed to each
other. ...
English Government is based upon the divine
right Of fkings; the American Government is ba'
sed upon the sovereignty o? the people. The
English Government is sustained by All imposl-
ton on. the ignorance of British subjects, which
presumcs that mankind are incapable OF sell
government; the American Government IS s'ls-
tanned by the intelligence Of the American peo-
pie Ignorance among the masses is necessary
to the safety of a monarchy; intelligence among
the people is the best protection ola republic
The pcrpetuation ola republican form OF gov
ernment is practical argument that monarchies
are based upon foul black lie; and hence that
in1eterate hate, THAT cnnnity, antagonism, and
warfare waged by all monarchies against every
republic. The success ofthis country has sha-
ken the thrones Of kings; American example is
revolutouizing Europe, and here is the grand
reason of British hostility, the ruin Of the In
glsh Government being involved in the success
ful experiment Of this republic. .,
, We shall now procecd to justify our remarks
concerning British interference in this country
During the four years computing from thl
/ famine year 184G. there arrived in this country
!, ,2G3 O58 immigrants from foreign ports These
, immigrants were a mixed assem1lage Of the
: moral and vicious occupying the difaIdnt rank:
. Of society, the greater part Of whom came tron

country in the pursuit Of gain, TO build them "
: home and to make this the land Of their adop-
ton; others were refugees from Justice whom
S the injustice Of their own nation had rendered
i criminals in the sight Of the law, but al fled t'
:, these shores as land Of refuge from the oppTeS

r What is little remarkable concerning adop
ted citizens is this, how any considerable mum
h Der of the American people could entertain IN
t improbable idea that these adopted citizens (wh'

liberty and peace, designed to bring this natio

II themselves to the same forms Of opprcssio

d The idea, to say the least, is quite improbable
l. but may 10 accounted for from the followin
s. facts:
= A few years ago large number Of the mr
l. ncipal offices in the city Of New York were hel
pt by adopted citizens. We do not deem it wis
ly or safe to confer powers or privileges upon adol
Sc ted citizens, to the exclusion Of ratiyc Amer

I'd hend any evil arising from an abuse Of powe
Ill but simply because the custom is calculated
to excite envy and jealousy among the ambitio'
