upon her offspring. This is so we'll acted that
we are apt to be deceived sometimes. But she
cannot always throw dust in our eyes. Now

terly we have seen under the assumed skin Of
the magnanimous lion the form and glare Of
the treacherous leopard. Without going back
far into history for the many examples that
may be found of the innate and persistent,
though secret, hostility to this country, we will
come down to the present time, and show that
while protesting the greatest friendship and
desire for peace she is stealthily preparing for
war with US on grand scale. As to the wis
dom Of such proceeding we leave the British
authorities to determine; and If they have not
found it out they will, probably before long.
or the fact we can have no doubt II comes to
us from reliable authority. Up the rivers and
in various inlets, bays and harbors throughout
the provinces, wherever there is suitable spot
the British government is building, quietly
and secretly, number OF gunboats,
which are adapted only for the Interior
waters Of this continent and, conse-
quently, are intended to be used against the
United States. They are such as cannot be
taken across the Atlantic, nor are they ft to go
on the ocean. There Is no other Power than
this country that such vessels could he used
against. The greatest secresy is observed by
the British authorities and by every person en-
ployed in constructing these gunboats, 80 that
It is difficult to obtain information as to the full
extent of the aggressive movement; but we
have learned enough to know that these war
like preparations are very extensive-very
much more so than the professed friendship and

would justify. Nor is this extraordinary nc

Tar DEPARTMENT CLERRs AND THEIR SALARIEs.-
We have received the following communication from
one of the Department Clerks, upon matter which
assuredly claims the attention of Congress The
fact OF the nadequacy Of pay of the Clerks OF the
various Government Departments is SO notorious
that We are surprised that Congress, ere this, has
not seen the wisdom Of remedying tho evil by an in
crease Of salary
The clamOr for putting into service the ebodied
clerks of the various Government Departments
having been complied with, aud as the balance are
now composed of eXempts, does II not become the
Government to allow them to obtain from some
source that which keeps "J0dy and Scad" together
The soldiers in the field cared for and why not
this class OF public servants. Their services are in-
valuable and could not be dispensed with. The
present salary Of department clerk IS 1888 80 per
month. That amount, so Congress thinks, Is sui
hcient Judging from their humane sllence,) to last
them and their families for month.
IL would be proper to add that certain member
of the blouse" remarked few days since, that his
daily expenses for himself alone and by using the
strctest economy, was upwards Of $50. The daily
pay of the clerks is sl3. Farther comment is UNI
necessary but before closing il would be not amiSs
to suggest to the proper to be on the ''q1i
yiUe' for set of clerks generally, as the pre-
sent incumbents cannot physically OF mentally at
tend to their aborious duties under the circum-
stances. REASON.
