We shall say nothing as to the f0rgetfulness 1t
would be OF the debt Of gratitude the United States
owes 10 SDain--gratltude 10 not virtue OF COL
ectIves. But when they present records like those
OF the Darbartles OF the war OF the South and
that OF the Red Indians; when they tolerate
murders and sacklngs or the Chinese, negroes
and Indians; when they do not prevent the people
breaking into the prisons and taking out whom

THE FOREGOING IS THE ANSWER
We ought to give to the Message and the notes OF
President Grant, Injurious and offensive, as
record Of tile limits Of moderation ana decorum
when lie has passed. Spain never mas suffered in

nations. SIill less Will she suner them from the
