John Bull Is HE greatest Old fbuster the earth
has ever known. It may be said without The slight
est exaggeraion, that his flibustering operatons
exceed IN magnitude those sof all other civilized
nations put together He has libustered everywhere
There i not does not know his fifbuster
ing fleets mot cline that has not seen his filibus-
terifg armies not a zone which is not marked by
colonial posts and setternents, fHbstered from the
possegsors by fraud or force. 1t makes no
sort Of difference to John where or how he lbusters
what ghts infringes or whose claims he tranples
under loot, 30 that he can E turn an honest penny n
the transaction or acquire naval station 'fhlch

III not only honorable and just in him to buster as
much as he pleases. but that it is the heighth of
depraFty, the most unparalleled Of wickedness, for
other governments to follow his example, on a small
scale E 81
With this comfortable assurance, John Bull growls
3at anybody and everybody pecially the United
little filibustering operation under
taken which he is not to have the lions share To
hear him talk about honor, good faith, treaties, the
rights Of weaker powers, etc, stranger to the facts
John to be the Of honor and
fairness, instead Of being the giant flibuster who
never kept treaty day longer than it was profta-
bic, who had fhhustered kingdoms by the score
containing millions upon millions Of inhabitants, ISL
ands by the hundred and armed posts With adjacent
territory nnumerable! Yet such are the facts. When
John IS loueest IN his protestaGons against the fill
clustering propenstes Of other people, it may be set
down for truth that the sly old dog is meditating
some huge operation in that line himself He
makes terrible noise to hide his own delinquencies

Cunning old fellow, that John
For the last ten or twelve years Mr.. Bull-who is a
Wellfed, wellp preserved, and exceedingly clever fe
low, as long as he is allowed his own way precisely
in everything been terribly exercised respecting
the annexing, alias fbustering proclvites, of his
young and vigorous relative, commonly known as
a Uncle Sam.H The old gentleman never tires tell
ing how much he is hurt, grieyed and mortified, at
the conduct Of his dear relation and solemnly warns
him, in pathetic tones, to cease from coyeting his
weaker neighbours lands and movabIes for fear it will
lead him into the commission of the monstrous wick
edness Of taking them by force John, all through
the delivery Of his sermon, appears to be utterly OBJ
livous to the fact that Uncle Sam in all human
probability would never have thought of fbuster-
inc, but for The example set BY him. Oh, John! your
practice must correspond with your preaching, if
you expect your sermons to WELD any influence.
Now, what has that respected parsonage, MIR. J.
Bull, been doing the last eight or ten years? The
London Examiner throws some light on his tlansac-
tons, and proves that his preachings against our
retail iibustering, were the fruit Of consummate by
poerisy--he being engaged IN wholesale operations
all the time !! The Examiner says:

If the above is not filibusterng on a gigantic
scale, we do not know what it is. Two hundred and
two thousand square miles of territory, and sixteen
millions Of people ibustered in the short space of
eight years!
John Bull is a precious exemplar of the vice of
illibusterism! Hadn't he better stop preaching, or
cease fbustering The world says, yes.
