We admit, bat too high tempered and ar
bitrxry 10 his niggers. The cavalier, with
the snuff box, rapier, and cock-a doodle
doc manner, is much more to our fancy.
Welike his eager, fighting physiognomy; !;
and if it were not for dismal thoughts
Of Revolutions every ten years; of Con-

Saint just, I've should hope that The
Frenchmen would bid us in. All that is
past, we known, but there is such a
thing Is blood, and it goes down the
same through ever SO many generations.
On the whole, We prefer Austria. Give
us good, thorough, out and out despot
ism; . master who win give us plenty
to eat ard drink, and as long as we be-
have ourselves, will treat us well, and,
when we do not, will make US When a
people get to that pass, that they cannot
take care Of themselves, and need some
body to save them from themselves, the
greatest boom they can receive is SEN
sible, good tempered, hard-hsnded pro-
prietor, who will feed them well, work
them web, and Keep them meek and
humble.
Of course, any transfer Of soil, chat
tells, inhabitants and Independence. to
European Powers, would be preferable
to Yankee domination. That we do not
question for one moment. When that
becomes the only alternative, we shall be
willing to sell out to the highest bidder.
We would rather go back even to our
ancient master, and have taxation with
out representation, especially as weshall
have nothing BY that time worth taxing,
and nobody ct to represent Us. But, Il
present, we see no occasion for sale. =
We have more Of our estate unencum-
bered BY Yankee occupancy than : year
ago; : large army, and means Of dou-
bling-it; and spirit enough Of l776 LEI,
to castthe Washington statues into can.
non, AID FIRE several parting salutes, be
fore d&gracing the memory Of the men
whom those statues were built to com
memorate. The !" stock, lock and bar
reln cannot be. disposed Of till we have
t had one firs more. The sale is post
poned.
