tits sheer nonsense to endeayor to identify the

Freedom is unknown in the North. Universal suf-

the hands of the mob, and the educated and think

mouth piece of the northern roWdies, who gag
and control the press, and insist upon being re-
gaed with series Of disgraeeflI, vain, ,hoasting,
and offensive articles directed against the British
power, and advocating the conquest of Canada.
As British subjects and Canadians we naturally
feel these outrages and insults, (taough we can
well afford to laugh at the threatsl and have Just

hButour anony correspondent really invites
our pity more than onr anger, or even laughter.
It may be gratifying him to see respect for other
nations set at naught in his Republic which once
called itself civilized but it will not be SO when he

whether such exhibitions of maleEoenee are likely
to encourage British subjects enlat in the North
ern forces? Fighting material is scarce among
the Yankees, for they are distributing placards in
several parts of Canada inviting Canadians to join
their army, and they are constantly trying to Sc
duce our soldiers from their allegiance. They
will get few " dd Britishers' to fight for them if
they are not more civil than the man at Ogdens-,,

The Toronto Globe having jastiied the mazzlipg
of the Northern press, the Gazette says at the CON
ciusion Of long editorial on the subject:
eve can find some excuse for the rulers at WASH
ington, blinded through eowardly fear, or the be-
wildered excitement OF passion we can even un-
derstand how some of the Northern papers thiak
this war must be carried through per tas ct nefas;
but that any miserable wretch on free British soil .
under the shadow of the Union Jack, without the
excuse or the fear or anger of immediate partf
zanshp should Disgrace his country, or his profess
sion by justifying 50 mad and bad anact is simply

ton from speech OF Postmaster.t tieuera Holt.
delivered at Boston, in which he alluded to the
case OF the Two women who both claimed the ma
ternity of the same child, and King Solomon de-
cided by ordering the child to be cut in twsinand
from which instance OF sacred history the ex-
Postmaster-General drew parallel in the present
contest between the North and the South. The
Gazette thus comments upon it, r. r'5@
Now, doubtless there is much fervid patriot
ism in this, but the parallel drawn is, it strikes MS,
an unhappy one. The application made of the
Bible story is very incorrect, TIE true mother
was willing to give up share Of the child rather
than see It's blood shed TIE North prefers to shed
the blood of the South, TO slay liberty which is its
life, rather than give up its prospective share in
the profits of Southern agriculture aud commerce,
and certain forts arsen9Is, etc.; which are, after
ALL mere trinkets around the ohid's neck They
are willing to accept bleeding and ruined South,
severed by the sword Of faction, and with its spirit
crushed out, rather than let it go. The Northern
politicians do not stand, therefore, for the good
mother, who, to save life, would give up her child;
but for the bad, which desired the bleeding body,
rather than surrender her claims.
The Chronicle then speaks of the reported
stagnation Of trade and want of money in Virginia.
