FOREIGN POLITICS AND POLITICIANS mi
AMERICA.

| W men we note the arrogant lCnO'
norance with which the foreign politician,
after few months or years residence
among Us, can lecture the american peo-
pie upon the conduct Of their own affairs.
We do not hesitate to avow an honest dis
trust OF our own capacity to pass Just
just Judgment upon the political situation
on the continent Of Europe. Ne rather
like the sang troid with which an enaiqre.
who may have never renowned his allie
! glance TO the government of France, COM
ments upon the affairs of Louisiana.
The Yankee carpee-bagger" is one es-
peelal phase Of disapproval on the part of
these foreign censors. Now we are told
by those more familiar with q foreign Ian
guage than We can pretend to be, that the
poor French nave a receptacle for old
clothes and broken yictuais which is
| called the sac an dos, and that with this
carpee-eag they perambulate sheir own
and foreign countries, Why these foreign
adventurers. with the sack Oh the back"
should be privileged to pursue their inter.
ests IN The United States, while the Ameri-
can citizen, with similar equipment ia
his hand, should be denied the right to
traverse or locate in any part of ais OWN
country, passes our American conlpyes
hension. II is, We suppose rale OF thar
ancient colonial admission that everything
coming from Europe was The perfection OF
excellence, while al! American ideas on
Institutions were ridiculous aspirations at
the impossible.

this preface, we acknowledge the
same incompeteIcs to deal with
the political situation in Spain or
France, which We attribute to the sub
iects of those countries in regard to our
own. In the first place we can not under
stand how any portion of people could be

5acre and burn the persons and property
u thelr tellow-cltizens, nor how twenty
thousand people could be indicted and
1ut to death or sent into exile for polit-
cal otenses. In the second place it is
lifficult to understand how representa-
i've body can continue itself in perma-
renee for years, still less how it can be-
