AN APPROPRIATE REMARK

AN APPROPRIATE REMARK.
ssFot country, vot a beeples 70 is said to
have been the amazed exclamation of Baron
Dubois, the Dutch Minister at Washington,
as he beheld servant killed by Senator for
not serving breakfast promptly. eff dey acts
dis way at breakfast, vot UW dey do at dinner!''
And not knowing what might come next, he
prudently held his tongue, threw himself back
on his official dignity and very wisely declin-
ed doing anything which might make him en-
emies among s:becples'' who INDUCED in
such extraordinary methods of manifesting a
temporary irritation.
'sVot country vot beeplcs - If this
was the exclamation of Baron Dubois on such
an occasicn-what can he have remarked on
the very remarkable events which have turned
up since the slaughter of the unfortunate
waiter in question? What sort of a feeling did
| he experience when Mr.. Champion received
the revocation of his exequatur, not on Dolit-
ical but on personal grounds, and what was
his inteuection at such a peculiar twist on
Messrs. Palmersten and Clarendon AS
polite man and as one familiar with the et-
quette of foreign courts, he was doubtless i'm
pressed with the courteous manner in which
this was done but as a native of the PaYs
Bas-of that country where everything is
done in deliberate straightforward manner,
he must have been surprised at Marcy's round
turn in the matter. Beyond question, so far
as this affair is concerned, not only Baron Du-
bois, but with him the whole country arc at
present anXiousy waiting to find out .'vot will
dey do at dinner 20 The breakfast is nicely
over, things are cleared away-what next?
''Fot country, vot beeples - On one
hand we risk war with the nation which is in |
almost every respect nearest to us,-whch is
in many particulars, identical with us, because |
that nation in its need attempted. in the most |
cautious manner possible, to enlist few Ger
mans and Irish in our territory while on the |
other we suffer President, supposed to rep
resent the people, and who really represents
nothing but his own low interests,) to rush in
to an alliance with handful of pirates and
thieves. And this is all done in nation ex-
ceiling all others in intelligence, which is the
best educated in the world, and which claims
to be the most enlightened on the face Of the
earth.
''Vot country. vot a beeples - With

nave rolled out this phrase Of surprise when
lie heard that United States member of the
House of Representatives had walked into
he Senate, and then with gutta percha cane
walked into" Senator, seated at his desk,
nd nearly murdered him in sneaking, cow {
rdly, ungentlemanly manner? He had won
cred at what would be done at dinner-the
inner in question, did not, it is true, come {
days yxon RTqt T when it did it was
ipate. AS Baron Dubois is said to be an in
clligent gentleman: we presume that he reads .
he papers, in which case he may have learn
d that the Brooks banquet is not without its
appropriate dessert
ssyot country, vot beeplcs ~ Candi-
lates without sense Of shame, pandering to
he lowest passions of the mob; men who
lavc children voluntarily forcing upon the
country measures for which history will brand
.hem with unmitigatcd blackness; president
by every means in his power,
civil war and discord. for the sake of his own
pitiful paltry share of loaycs and fishes, and
press which affects s.chivalry' while prasing
the beating man at an advantage! ':Yot
