DHAR sIR The English carnival at lis height; and
while foang England good hnmcr, stuffed 30 reple
ton with viands and luxurating in countless TOYS OF
every shape and color there Is opposite class who
rendered miserable and vndictye than usual al this
and equity twingcs render them spicnec, giving
their mental vision jAundlced hue In this latter
quandary viii be found Of the editorial fraternity
and particularly editor Of the great oracle OF Eng
land The exodus of Walker has filed his ink horn with
gall and NORWOOD of which he is giving
taste Forgetting the early history Of India, with It's
interruptions Give aud Hastings forgetting the system
which England has pursued throughout in securing by
successive encroachnens and fersys that enormous en-
pire-gnorng too, that manifest destiny which, guided
by immortal hand is sweeping of painfully but

calling them TO resign the administration of aProp-
erty of boundess capabilities, which they have neither

sit down al this moment to enter upon the de-
fence Of Walker, to claim for him any nights
American after he has voluntarily expatriatei himself

confidence of mighty power it speaks in oacular tones
and would fain to roll the world like huge
Juggernaut crushing beneath its wheels everything
