WHAT ENGLAND THINKS or TIRE TRCcuLESr TOMB
OF THE NORTHERN PREss.


From the LODlbQ INNS JAA'
Surely We have some reason TO e1pOstu-
late with our kiusmen across the Atlantic for
the truculent tone they nave assumed TO-
wards this country. What have We done -
How have we mis- behaved ourselves why
are we To be scOlded, and threatened ana
warned Wherefore this attack AT hFst Il

| leuce III our own columns, then vOlley was
! suddenly discharged at US from tie LouNreHo

| but move & finger. Federal America Is 70
| loin with France and destroy US II We should
| but cast 81 shadow OF i ship upon the waters
When WE we're at war with Russia, America
| supplied our enemy with war steamers -

| such an example, we might very likely nave
| ,,ot y coed price for a fleet Of steamers from
| The Southern COntederacy, and might nave
found such occupation for The y ortheFh nav
