The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1862-07-01


The following summary of European news is
given in the New York Herald
Our Paris correspondent; states that the late
call Of President Lincoln for Fifty thousand add
tionai troops created " no little excitement in
political circles in that city. Coming close after
the reports of the triumph of the Union army
and the official order of the United States Consul
not to engage the services of any more French
officers. il was not understood, and conse-
ouently made a point of active canvass. The
inference became prevalent that the new levy was
required owing to the " ticklish relations exist
ing, or likely to socn exist, between France and
the United Safes in consequence OF Napoleon S
policy and war in Mexico. The writer considers
that this ques ion has very serious aspect, aad
that the Mextcan imbroglio will be the means
of showing ether the Emperor has disposition
to interfere with the affairs of the United States
He adds: sIf he has he will not lack in pretext
for seeking quarrel
The London Times publishes letter from its
New York correspondent, which indicates to Eng
land very painly-and sensibly for a wonder
that the United States will soon become the
greatest military and naval power i'll Chrstenlom.' %
A British steamer freighted with large guam
tity of gunpowdcr, intended for rebel uses, had
sailed from Queenstown for the West 1udies.
Lord Brougham in his inaugural address to the
Social Science Congress in London, blamed all
the evils of the in America on the free
exercise of democracy in our Government, assert
ing that it was "tyrant of many heads, and
that ain all ages the tendency of democratic rule
has been to promote war
YANKEE INFAMIES, BIG and LITTLE.
The shameless mendacity of the Y ankees is fast
becoming scandal to Chrstendom. Confined to
no class, it is common to all. Officers and uen,
civilians and soldiers, all alike liars They lie
to the whole world, even to one another Their
Generals in their official reports Of battles con-
graduate their astonished troops on victories
which the latter knoec were never won, and on
bayOnet charges which they kHoa0 were never
made, and all is swallowed down so much
gospel truth.
The object Of these falsehoods is two fold: first,
to deceive the masses at home so to get troops
and money. Secondly, to deceive Foreign nations,
in order to prevent our recognition and their in
terventon. Fortunately for US, our cause cannot
always thus suffer. Iime, that nlallible detec-
tive, will surely expose the truth, and then the
Yankee government will stand at the bar Of the
world convicted and degraded liar
If one of our Generals were to lie to our troops,
telling them they had done what they knew they
had never done, he would bring instant disgrace
upon himself lie would be universally despised,
aud the men would refuse to fight under him. A
convicted liar never hold up his head in the
South. He is branded and handed over to inf;,my.
Supported by outrage and plumber, proppcd by
fraud and mendacity, the Yankee scheme OF con-
quest Can never succeed. 1t will be Reproduced
of God and man. Every development Of Yankee
policy, every manifestation of Yankee character
serves to convince mankind that honorable States
cannot affiliate with so base people. japanese
lying, Chinese stealing, Turkish rapacity and
Mormon profigacy pale their Intellectual fires be-
fore the superior intarnes of these hypocritical
Puritans.
