Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1856-06-18

eE-We published few days since from the
.Sroatre,l Herald, a cauztic and unjust review of
the Filings of Americans. We trust that this
artii.is was read by all our readers. Itdeserved
attention, however false in fact, as it was
sen written and had too much truthon its basis
although carricatlre We are obliged to the
writer for his review, however unjust-for 1t ex-
l1ibited Che salient points Of American interiors
IL. although exaggerated TO great degree
Taking is great and prominent element in
American character. 81 deg. 20 min. was the
fighting point under Mr.. Polk; and yet we
pleasantly took 80 deg. This is one four points
as 4 nation. But the question naturally arises,
who are our assailants? Do they come from
Britain and its dependencics9 They do
What right have they to hurl at us the missive
Of rcuroach and contumelys As to our valor
We have nought to say. We will not be so un-
kind as to point the Herald to Saratoga, Bunk
er's HIN, Cowpens and Yorktown, nor to Lun-
dy's Lane, Chippewa, Queenstown Heights
and New Orleans, to say nothing of the
capture Of the Guerrero and HOrnett and
the victories of Perry on Lake Erie
These, Of course, will be unpleasant subjects of
remembrance to the Herald, and we pass them
by. We deserve the comments in part and
gratefully receive them. But who casts the
stone? The nation thatin 1915 found itself de-
feated, borne down and so Strengthened that to
save It's power and lose its honor, it had to vio-
late the rules of civilized warfare and imprison
upon barren rock the chieitain WHO had proven
himself superior alike to their wiles and their
arms But later. This nation went recently to
war, and with France as its ally, what was its
achievement? We cannot Particularizc. Eng
land came out of it with naught left butt pride.
All of the glory, &c. of battle belonged to France.
While the fierce attack was making upon Mala-
koE, while French soldiers were watering the
line of their march with blood and making ram
parts with the dead bodies of their own soldiers,
the English were wildly shooting down their
own leaders, and their leader was making 2:4o
back to the camp to seek aid for the combat
The white feather was the flag Of the English,
and nohly did it ever wave over their columns,
particularly in retreat.
As to American ladies' re have word to say.
We do not belong to the bachelor list nor yet to
tho list of the young, but we claim to be heard,
without prejudice in their behalf Tho SANDER
of the Hera!d is too potent to need exposure
The whalcbone ides is chimerical and false in a
great degree. True, we have hoops, but in n
free country we have a right to any thing, and
if our ladies prefer hoops to small beer, why we
will still stand By them, however much room
they take.
Take tho whole article together, it is as serious
SANDER as We have known perpctrated for
some time. 1t has its foundation on truth, but
not in it Our people talk too much and do too
little, but that little is far more than England's
accomplishment for the last half century.
If to Cypress the weak and uphold the nabob,
IL to skulk in battle and yet claim the victory, if
to wall over African slavery while it encouraged
grosser and more abiect servitude at home, if
to be rotund and fat, full of beer and ruddiness
he ground of superiority of the English over
us, then are they superior; but if, on the con-
trary, ability, character, energy, industry, action
and integrity be the true tests of national char
acter If freedom from debt insteadof bankrupt
cy be national quality, if readiness to battle
for tho right (svcn though in advance we talk
about il, be true elements of national superior
ity, where viii England stand in comparison
with the United States? We speak not of Ca
nalians, for the world docs not recognize them
as civilized Half breeds, French mongrcls, In
dian crosses and runaway negroes, constitute
their chief population. They do well to talk
THIS We gladly hail it as the index of "better
days a coming"
We trust that ere long the scrrile, fawning,
sycophantic crew of hireling, educated, SANDER
ere, who now pimp and pander to the tastes of
their English masters, will rise to the apprecia-
ton Of the true character of those whom they
now traducc. The day has been, when in Can
ada there were men who felt as such, and who
wcre willing, though they knew not how, to be
free. May the day soon come, when hireling
peany-a-liners will have free passage across
tho Atlantic, when frcemen and men of enlarged
aud liberal views will find encouragement in her
8iajcsty's Canadian dominions, and when the
classUf barking ours who now yelp there to the
nod of royal prerogativc, "that thrift may fol-
low fawning," will Find their occupation gone.
