English articles we began to think the paper was as
much English American. And so it is to the reading
of the leading article, Maghanimity towards England
to which readers owe this extended notice. and with
their leave will have something to say on the other
side of the question.
We take up this matter for it is of vital importance

within the last two years the starting of AMERICAN
newspapers in the different Cities but strange to say,
they are all on the platform, MAGNAN1M1TY TO-

any such thing; but we say outright. Why has

This treachery to America, from those to whom she
looked for friendship, aroused such feeling of ndigna
ton against England that it will take some years, and
good many Bringing, but false, speeches from Johnny
Russell, to allay.
The article above mentioned opens in the following
cautious and forgivng style:
