THE ENGLISH TORY ORGAN TROUBLED ABOUT
BUNKER HILL AND THE FOURTH OF JULY.
From the London Standard July g.
The Fourth OF July falling this year a Sum
day the Americans were obliged 70 postpone their
denominations OF rood will and brotherly love 10
the nation over whom they celebrate an annual
triumph till yesterday, when they assembled in
the Crystal Palace TO boast, in England and in
face OF the English nation, the disruption OF the
British Empire IL is hardly necessary 10 say that
none bus Americans would venture on such
display OF pad taste ana discourtesy, and none
but Englishmep would tolerate 1t. WHAT would
be thought OF US II We were 10 celebrate me ami
versary OF Waterloo by public dinner in Paris
and what would become OF the ceebrants Would
the Belgians propose to nold at The Hague or IN
Amsterdam, = public festival In honor of. their
successful revolt from Holland; or, despite the
cordial feeling which now exists between Austria
and Italy, would Italians propose or Austrlans
permit pubic dinner at Vienna on the anniver.

needless 10 say that since our American guests
have sufficient sense OF The becoming TO abstain
from this kind II offensive sel-gloriacation, IL

be recognized that no desire 10 concillate. no

Tne accident which postponed Tor "a Cay the

10 Dean STANLEY an opportunity OF improving the
occasion IN ponticai sermon, CHARACTERISTIC alike
OF tue man anu OF tue parry he belongs To, He be-

AS to tue original iunInatlons OF "tyrAnr' and

tent persons, wen acquainted with the lacts and
the law, Jnat the claim VI Parliament to tax the
colonies was sound, and that IN forbea1'lng 10
Insist lt Parliament dld all That could be
wished; that there no tyranny on our SIDE.

whatever fOrbeardnce aud conclllatIon there

the perfectly Legitimate one OF running INTO
Confederate port and receiving her ornament
tnere-We submitted the WnoIe question To arDl-

Thousands OF armed robbers 10 gather on her
soil In time OF lefound peace, aud thence
10 invade our territory, to burn and spoil
and murder, and when pursued BY
lew hastily coected volunteers, to nnd
refuge again under he American nag And
she refused even 10 entertain the idea OF submit
ting unquestonabIe liability for these plracles
to arDltratIon. ana TO TINS day she has not pald

We neea not inquire AZ lengtn now far General

law OF ne land-leprived, IN TACT, oi every rieht
that King George III. allowed To the contempora-

Declaration OF Independence sounds like
mocKing satire upon the present state OF

the Union is maintained. The hero or
tue revolutionary war has been dlsnonored
In the ravage or his native State IN the ruin OF
his nearest representatives, In the plunder of hrs
