successfully resist, II necessary, the cOmDlncd
forces of Europe. But Europe is likely to have
too much trouble at home for considerable
time to come to think of provoking foreigs
war; The elements of revolution are still
smouldering on that continent, and just now
they are threatening to burst into flame In
France, in Russia, in Italy, in Spain, in Aus
tria, the same ominous signs are observable
and in Greece a bloody insurrection has
already commenced. Louis Napoleon has
already shown his apprehensions of the i'm
pending danger, and hundreds of arrests have
been made There is, indeed, every prospect
that before long monarchy and Imperialism
will be subjected to trial which will test their
strength to the full, and we shall be surprised
if the result does not demonstrate republican
government to be the strongest and most per-
manent OF all.
The "HoRRIBLE MONSTER" GREELEY AND THE
"LrrTIE VILLAIN" RAYMOND FALsFYNG HIS
roRY.-The meanness and malignity of poor
Greeley of the Tribune, and the "Little Villain"
Raymond, of the Times, have been too often
exposed in these columns for us to feel any
emotion but increased contempt at new and
f]aerant instance of the spleen and malice OF
these fellows, and of the manner in which they
strive to revenge themselves upon the relatives
and friends of their political opponents. II
seems that the editors of the Tribune and Times
will even falsify history, in order to CRAFTY
their petty spites against q young gentleman
whose only fault is that he is the son Of the
editor of the HERALD.
Among the vessels which took part IN eae
seizure of Fernandina, Florida, by our navy.
under Commodore Dupont, was the armed
schooner Henrietta, Lieutenant James Gordon
Bennett Jr., commanding. Although stationed
upon revenue service at Port Royal, S. c., Lieut.
Bennett and his gallant comrades-Mr. Barker.
of Long Island, and son of Shepard Knapp,
Esq, of this city-could not resist the oppor.
tunity of striking blow for tho Union, and
accordingly obtained permission of Commodore
Dupont to make the Henrietta one Of his little
expedition. They were disappointed in their
antcipations of battle, for the rebels retreat
ed; but the Henrietta, with her commandef
and crew, was in the feet, ready for any
emergency, and participated in the occupation
of Fernandina and the restoration of Florids
to ber old allegiance and her old flag.
The correspondents of the Tribune and Tine
are no doubt gentlemen, and mentioned the
Henrietta in their reports, just as they would
mention any other vessel, without inquiring
who or of what party was the father of her COM
mander. But the editors of these papers, with
a meanness which is unparalleled, cut out Of
their correspondents reports all mention Of
Lieutenant Bennett and his schooner, and even
went so far we believe, as to tamper with the
official report of Commodore Dupont and sup
press that portion of it relating to the fact that
the Henrietta was one of the vessels Of his at
tacking fleet There could be no smaller exhi-
bition of malice than this. The young gentle
man whom Greeley and Raymond take such
pains to keep from public notice is, fortunately,
above their enmity and has no need of their as
sistance. He went to the wars of his own ac-
cord, and all that we have to do with the matter
is to pay twenty-five thousand dollars for tho
schooner he gave to the government, and to re-
gularly cash his drafts for the wages of his
crew. since the abominable conduct of Congress
has left the United States Treasury without
money to pay our brave sailors.
The obvious intention of this suppression was
to keep from the public any fact disproving the
charges of secessionism made against US
nv the mean fellows who control the
Tribune and Times. We are willing to
compare our loyalty, whether in deeds or
words. with that of the editors of these abolition
organs. Has either Greeley or Raymond de-
voted his only son TO the service Of the coun-
try in these perilous times? Has either
Greeley or Raymond given new schooner,
costing twenty-five thousand dollars, to the
revenue department of the navy Of the
country? Has either Greeley or Raymond
donated three thousand dollars to the Union
Defence Committee to arm and equip the Union
soldiers? Has either Greeley or Raymond
cashed the drafts upon the government Tor
sailors wages in order to relieve the National
Treasury emitted by fanatical extravagancef
Has either Greeley or Raymond devoted his
newspaper wholly, entirely and without reser-
vation TO the support Of the government and
tho restoration of the Union? We have done all
this. and have hitherto said nothing about IL,
because we prefer to male our patriotism
practical; because we do not care enough
about abolition lies to take the trouble OF dis
nrovinc them; because all hose persons whose
opinion we value have never doubted OF
questioned Quar- loyalty. But are the records
of Graeley and Raymond equally clears Why,
then. do they take such pains to misrepresent
us? Why do they tGmper with reports In
ordar to coaceal even shint Of oar patriotism
from the pubtcs Cannot their ingenuity con-
ee;vo. of . uaan by which they may attack tne
herald and, yet treat Lieutenant benne'' wAu
the ordinary fairscss due to On omcer anu
gentleman? If not, We will show them sne
way by Wsclaming any creai. ;a lot .ne nrssn.I ni
