by them illustrative of their deter mination to
never submit or be suojugated to Yankee
rule" This is a mistake The saying had its
origin at the time of the Catholic attempt to
destroy the United Provinces, and was made

Buckingham. England's Minister, urged the in
evitable destruction which hung over the Pro
vinces, and asked William If he did not see the
Commonwealth was ruined he replied: There

TO that made by William III. when Louis XIV
threatened TO cover Holland with French troops
That Monarch was told the Dutch would break
down the dykes and give Holland back TO the
ocean before they would permit him to enter
Amsterdam The rebels appropriated the ex-
preston, and it has passed current coinage
of the Southern braggadocio with many.
