and England, In Spain, Italy mud the res!
Of The kingdoms.
One would think, however, to read the
London Times, and tho French official
newspapers, and to hear tile Insulting re-
mat'n In which Lord palmcrston,' Lord
John Russell, and tho atistocrats gcner-

veritablo FL Dorado, md Land Of tho
Blessed, where no discords and troubles
ever came to distract the general bcati-
tudc; and that this country was the ID
zar house Of civilization, and republican /
institutions, the curse Of society, aud tho
world.
Let US look, however, ut tho tacts Of the |
case; let us compare the civil outbreaks
which hare occurred in whatthe cali this
God-fhrsakcn Republic, during the period
which 1t covers, as history, with those |
which have occurred In England and |
France, during the same period. We shall |
then be tho better able to Judge Of the |
truth Of the European charges against ,ls. |
With the exception Of the New York |
riots, We are afraid ne shall have to plead
guilty Of not being able to adduee many
examples Of popular outbreak and anarchy,
In connection with our history. It Is true
that these were no Joke, but 1t Is also true
that they were not the result Of any real
popular grievances, but ttst they origin
ated in treason, and that, with the ex-
ception Of their leaders, none but the
lowest and vllest Of the human scum
which testers In the rotten sewers
Of New York society, were, In any
way, ccnccrDed in them. We ac-
knowledge the fact, however, and our
enemies may make the most Of 1t. We
can afford to give them hundred such
riots, md then ahow 3 clear record COM
pared With theirs. The others were not
| riots, but rows; one in Pennsylvania was
Know-Nothing ginger beer explosion,
and the others in New York were con
nected, the one with Forrest, the actor,
. and the other with flour. That is the
, end Of the grievances Of the Republic,
We hayeno space to make out even a
list Of the English and French riots aud
!, revolutions within the same period. The
: New; ork 1iuts are balanced at once, *
i far as England is concerned, by the " No
