carcass it will appropriate. The proud Mon
roe doctrine, which we announced in the day
of our strength, is to be set at nought, and by
a union of the vile traitors Of the South tramp
ling on human liberty there, with the despots
of the old world trampling on liberty here,
new holy alliance is to be constituted. We

cherished some love of liberty, some sympathy
with the progress of humanity. But, true to
her instincts and her history, she puts herself
bound hand and loot, into the guidance of hel
arlstecracy. The aristocracy is England, AZ
much as Paris is France. England never gives
freedom; il is always wrurg from her. 1t wa:
so in the days OF the Commonwealth. Ou1
