A Few Words with the Torouto Globe.
The Toronto Globe has an article in which
It endeavors to crow in the most digni6ed
manner possible over the rendition of Mason
and Slidell. As sample Of the tone Of the
article We publish the following extract:
aThe American people are generally we'll
eduoated and intelligent, and why is It that
they have not the good sense TO appreciate
the importance of cultivating 3 kindly feel
ing towards foreign powers, and to avoid
boasting and insult When win they show
such & regard for the rights and feelings of
Othsrs as win compel their public writers 10
sT0id giving offence to foreign nations p
Why In the world don't the Globe and the
balance of the Canadian press practice what
they preach
When It is borne In mind that the New
England Society of Quebec was obliged to
posipous, on account Of threataned violence,
rs oslsbEatioa, ct which our Consul General,
-~.se vsnsEable Joshua R. Giddinga, was to
deliver the address; that one Of our officers
who was on visit to Toronto, was obliged to
leave on account Of being constantly insulted
By the cOWardly Oanucks Of that city, merely
because be wore the undress uniform of our
army; that the Toronto Leader considered
his being inEllted in that manner perfectly
right and proper; that the Canadian papers
49,. 49,, e-1ao,-orsrr- 70 Eor.a fba raan,r,aru
Of the Grand Trunk Railway to dismiss one
Of the principal officers of that road for the
sin Of being native Of the United States;
that the whole Canadian press has teemed
with the most vulgar and blackguarding
abuse Of the American people and Of our gov
erument beasting what mighty feats their
HSsdMtay Nilitia" dressed in the uniform
Of BEitsh Regulars, on the same principle
that the ass envelOped himself in the skin of
the lion,--Wonld do in case Of hOstilities with
the a yankees, and when it is considered
that g party Of British soldiers invaded the
American soil, and murdered an American
osa-en ia c5i1 blood, and burned the steamer
oarOlins for doing PreciSsiy what the British
steamer Bermuda recently did, (carEy sup
plies 20 the rsbels,) we think the impudence
oFths Globe in lecturing US in the way it
does is unparalleled.
There has not been an instance on record
Of a British officer being obliged to fee from
this country under the same circumstances
that compelled the American officer to leave
Toronto. Not st. George Society has ever
been disturbed in its meeting in the slightest
degrae, from one end of our land to the other,
but on the other hand they have met the
kiRdsst treatment from the American public.
We should think the editor of the Globe, if
be has any ssnsibility left, would feel humil-
lated, and that his cheek would mantle with
shame when he compares the brutal and cow
srdly conduct Of the Quebec "Britons" in
their treatment of the New England Society
Of that city,-at the head Of which is distin-
guished American Official, whose gray hairs
ought ct lesst to have protected him,-with
the courteous treatment that is invariably
metsd out to the different St. Georges sOcie-
ties in The United States.
10 show how much more of the milk OF
human kindness the Americans have for the
Enzlish than the English have for the Amer
leans, We would refer the Globe to the tone
Of universal respect with which the Ameri-
can pres speaks Of the British Queen, to the
houpitable reception e1tenied to the Prince Of
Wales, and to the sympathetic remarks of our
papers on the death Of Prince Albert; and
then compare this treatment Of the royal
family with the coarse and insulting remarks
Of the British and Canadian press when
sDeskfng Of our President. And we would
siso call the Globes attention to the wicked
snd fendish feeling which is now prompting
alarqs msjOrity Of the English people, as well
ssths British Government, to find some excuse
for declaring war with all Its horrors, sgainsi
= Kindred nation, merely for the purpose o.
dividing our country thus endeaTOring to
vssken a forl2idable rival, and at the same
time obtain exclusive control Of the market
of tho Confederacy. The editor Of the Globe
knew when he penned the above extracts
that he wss filing the role Of 8 regular Peck
Saif. Our Government has given substantial
evidence Of its kindly feeling to the British
people hy giving up Mason and slideui and
for the Globe to publish the above statement
based as it is upon deliberate falsehoods, is
the height Of mendacity.
The Globe, in the article from which the
above extract is taken, made some allusions
70 our e aG0Ternmeut pursuing q wise and
pslitic course in spite of the mob" What q
n;ev the Canadian mobs have not similar

In conclusion, we wcpld say to the GlOte
.bsti, would certainly be more manly and
eblval,ous to wais till We get rid ofeuT gi-
qsptic rebellion, before it boasts Of what TIE
