reply that the American Press says 80; and,
being challenged for specifications, he at once
proceeds to quote the gascouading fulmination'
of The Herald. The worst of these are eagerly
reproduced by tho .sympathizing jour

sence of countervaling testimony generally
accepted as proof positive Of the tone and

material interests of the civilized world behind
him that renders his attitude and probable &C.

our prosperity. There may have been inisap-
