al her assistance Poverty and distress among large
Dorop Of the people or Europe, most especially Great
R,.ip would be the inevitable result Of this hopeful
hsme Of bansbing the United States from the community
orevilzed nations The folly Of the scheme more than
soaals It's dastardly maligny. 1t would be committing
suicide from sheer cowaIdiee,
The next step recommended by this stupendous wise
acre is as follows
Bat In regard expeditions hted out by sea the rem

materials Of offensive when there 10 no declaration OF

France agree 10 authorize aud direct their to
detan and search every vessel employed upon such exped

vessels watching the line such expeditions must pursue ana

made 10 such scheme and the Inconvenience Of detention

There is nothing that Great Britanat least its gov
ernment-hankers after intensely revival of the
right Il search and there is nsuperabe obstacle
10 lis almost universal exercise but the United States. At
,;.o INT far the intornositinp and Influenza
eral Cass then minister France she would have
ceeded in accomplishing the Quintuple convention which
was hatched by Great Britain solely with view to
coerce the United States acquescence in the right
of search Since them by treaties with almost every mari
time nation of Europe, and not few in America, she has
under pretenco suppressng the slave trade either by
threats or nrgues obtained the right to arrest board
and search vessels under almost every flag but that of the
United States They alone stand in the way of universal
system Of police and espionage the high seas somewhat
similar to that exercised in Paris and London The last
attempt to attain this object it seems, TO be made under
pretence of suppesspg fibusering ard the better to
Justify it, great portion of the people Of the United States
placed in that category Because few hundred strag
gers from the United States considerable portion OF
whom foreigners not naurazed have Joined General
Walker in Nicaragua the great powers Of Europe which
have no of interest in these domestic struggles are
called on By Great Britain become parties in the league
for establishing universal right of search aud expelng
republic almost extensive all Europe put together
from the community Of nations The plot an excellent
plot worthy the greatest Of all modern ploers and is
almost pity there many formidable obstacles to lis
success We apprehend his ordship will have TO try an
other dodge before he persuades the people of the United
States they do not understand English the powers of
Europe that is their interest to renstaie the Old Bully
of the in his ancient prerogatves rather Preten-
Iions.
We have dwelt more especially on this article for
era important reasons First being OF all others that
have lately come from British mint Of false coinage the
most remarkable for its SANDERS its cxaggeraons and its
ndignity secondly because ii from which
usfes belief that the scheme suggested that has
been sanctioned By the British Premier aud dgested by
him into 81 SYSTEMATIC basis Of operations thirdly fur
nshing urequiyocal demonstration Of a settled permanent
hostility on the part of minister who is constantly pro
Tossing both 10 his words and through bis organs
the press the most friendly feelings towards the United
States and lastly because wished to draw the public
attention TO a scheme SO fraught with mischief and
danger
We have no hesitation in declaring that have not
now and had much faith in the friendship Of the
English government the English people 9th equally
took part against In the OF the revolution and
pesevered long there the slightest hope Of
cess Both equally supported the war Of 1914 and
have to doubt looking TO the language Of those
journals which exercise the greatest influence the pop
uar feeling that nothing would be more easy than to
stimulate them into with the United States as they
were into war with Russia We know very WELL from
long experience that the desire or peace by Great Britain
confined altogether our trade and that II is only an
apprehension OF Its interruption that restraints her from
going far 10 produce that result We know too that
the commercial and manufacturing classes Of Great Brtan
though not perhaps friendly, yet greatly averse to
war With the United States; and we are equally aware
that though these great national interests have power
u inaaen they do not control the policy Of the gov
nment That Is 10 great directed by the aris
oracy England the holders OF the entire landed property
ofthe United Kingdom who though what shorn oftheir
power st exercise hereditary sway their and
their boroughs which renders the lower House Of Para-
mnt much their representative than that Of the peo
pie Of Great Britain. Hence the and the arocracy
almost always command majority in that body. To both
these Lord Palmerston is personally obnoxious, and we
have from the best authority that nothing keeps bs lord
ship office but the utter impraccsbility Of forming
new ministry by a coalition.
But be this as 1t may nothing clear to than
MAT the United States can place dependence the
