ENGLISH APPRECIATION OF AMERICANS We take the following from the lates
 Washington letter of London Times Rus sell, which has reached this country
 Adulation, incessant fattery for party or personal objects. have pu1el up the mob with foul vapors till they are nigh bursting with intolerance, and have thinned away the skin of their balloon till it was pouring out gas all over the land How is any hon. est, hard handed Wisconsin lumberer, then, who is sitting with his loaded rifle at full cock on the stump of tree, and reading | his newspaper and smoking his tobacco in the discharge of the highest duties of a citizen and a sentinel, to know the truth when he is assured by his best possible n- structor. that the English aristocracy, hay ing sent Mr. George Thompson over.to the State to destroy the union, by tampering with slaves, are now dispatching enormous armies to Canada to seize upon Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, the prosperi- ty of which are an insult to their system and an eyesore to the Queen, tue Prince Con- sort, and the rest of the royal familye H ow is he to resist the appeals to his preudices, daily instilled into him, when he is told that he is the finest fellow in the world: that he is the only freeman on the face of the earth; that the English hate and fear him; that Vattel, and Wheaton, and Ortolan, show Wilkes was wrong because he did not seize and take the Trent into port for condemna- tion, and that he had million and half of soldiers, the handsomest. tallest. stout est, stralghest, Lraqest, best shooting, best marching, best disciplined, and best prin- cipled that there are, have been, or ever will be--the cream of creation in arms will be called in shortly to avenge innum- erable insults and wipe out the systems which emperors, kings, tyrants, and aristo- crats have invented for the oppression of suffering humanity all over the rest of the globe. l would give a good deal for view of that mans head. Why, must be filled with heroes 'such faultless monsters as the world ne CT saw" choke full of victories that never existed --teeming with "star spangled ban ners" and great Union processops. harbe- cues, and bunkum perorations, cowded with visions of demons like Jeff Davis and Lord Lyons, and the Duchess of Sutherland, all wheeling round and dancing about to great crash of music, and the strains of "Yank -doodle," while muffled assassins move through the throng, wrapped in cloaks above which peep out the prongs of Brit anuia's trident, the kepi of him of the Tu ileries, or the fan of the Lady of Spain, stilleto in hand, seeking for an opening to get dig at the goddess of liberty, who is at that moment engaged in conversation with President Lincoln, Mir. Seward, and the editor of his particular journal. He has no chance for care--all access to medicine is shut out, and the Wisconsin man will ! figure to the death in support of his insani-> ty--he will die before he will give up Mason and Slidell. It is very probable--ifMr Jefferson Davis ever condescends tosuch a thing--that he sang and danced with de- light when he heard of the capt6re of these gentlemen: it is not too much to suppose he sent them on their mission because they were in his way.
