An English Clergyman on the Amer.
lean War.

The Rev. Baptist Noel, once clergyman
Of the Church Of Englands aAd Chaplain TO
her Majesty, from which position he seeded
to become as worthily illustrious in the ranks
Of dissent, has Just published book entitled,
"the Rebellion in America" Of whose vigor-
Gus championship Of the free cause the fol-
lowing is pointed example:
"Some writer's deal with the United States
as flies with horse which has been CALLED
The beauty, feetness, force and good temper
of the animal are nothing to them. They
are all eve for the sore. Pouncing on that
they suck and suck. The sore is everything
to them-food, delight, triumph. So they
suck on, and by their hum and hutter, call
swarm to suck with them Others are more
like MOSQUITOES, who only exist 70 sting.
Whenever you hear their 6aEE foa may be
sure they are going to insert sheir venom
somewhere. Sometimes correspondents led
by his principal, seems to me like bull dog
led by an Unlocking owner. Both are bent
on mischief; the brute is never so well
pleased as when he can make his teeth meet
in the flesh of anyone; and the naaster grins

Hatred has been exalted, since the beginning
of this American rebellion, 10 an unusual
eminence. We used to think it one Of the
from the favor of God (Gal. v. 1921 and
that we supposed that charity was virtue.
But all things are lawful against the turbulent
Democracy. Hatred, therefore, is put by
some writer's in the place of charity. Their
creed in writing Of the Yankees Is, Though
I speak with the tongue Of men and angels,
and have not hatred, am become as sound

inspiration of these writer's, though they call
themselves his disciples, would be rather
symbolizcd by the tiger or snake. To en-
deavor to prove to them that the people Of
the United States are as much as ourselves
intelligent, orderly, patriotic and humane,
would be like trying to prove to Herodias the
excellence Of John, or to Caiaphas the mis-
sion Of Jesus. II you give them evidence
that the shareholders are made by their sys-
tenn cruel, selfish, inrpeffoHs AID tyraRnieal,
they do not seem to like them the less on that
account. Pharisees did not love Pharisees
were like sepulchres, full of rottenness un-

l should no more expect generosity from
such writers than should gentlencss from
boa constructor or fragrance from common
sewer. Even their charity has bitterness in
it. If they deplore the distress IN Lancashire
it is that they make you hate tle Americans;
if they lament the blood shed in the American
war, it is to secure Il triumph 10 the rebellion.
But if any American meets with this volume,
let him be assured that we are not all Of this
stamp in England. From Lord Russell down
TO the honest weavers in Lancashire, we wish
we'll 10 the United States; and should it please
God to restore the Union, we shall rejoice in
their prosperity as sincerely as We do in our
own. Leaving the flies to such sores, and the
mosquitoes to sting, we shall thank God for
His blessings to America, as we do for His
goodness to u.s."
