Editor of Kennebee Journal:
The London Saturday Review. leading

for saying recently that "Guiteau is q typical
American" That such an infamous attack
upon our national characteristics should be
approved bv any considerable number of
Victoris's subjects shows their innate though
OF suppressed anmus towards US. Such ma
licious insinuations and slanderous outcrop-
pings a thousand times outweigh many of the
loud mouihed and hollow breasted pretentions
and professions of love and good will We
wish to do the MANY honorable Englshmen
no injustice; nor would we stir up unpro-
voked strife or i'll will; but in justice to our
national honor we repel with scorn snch in
dignant thrusts at the character of fifty mil
lion American citizens. Let John Bull glory
in his own superlstive egotism and self-es-
tecm, but wher he shows the shameless ef.
fronterv OF branding our nation with the
stamp of most infamous assassin. the blood
of revolutionary progeny boils with ineffable
indignation.
oh. for the policy of James c. Blaine to
establish and uphold our national rights and
dignity. Let no one mistake our meaning
We clamor not for redress. America should
rather spurn such insults and treat them with
perhaps silent contempt. Yet in a pacific
spirit the United States should make court
eous and friendly vet firm demands for all
her just maritime and other rights She should
seek the abrogaiion of every treaty not based
on absolute equity. While adhering to our
traditional policy Of trans Atlantic uon-inter-
vention. we should stick to the spirit Of the
MnNppa Anrfyspn This nj h.,
the nature Of Secretary Blaine's diplomacy
Hence. how can any JeHersonian republican
or democrat take exception to it, Should We
a. a nation stand up. and while seeking and
maintaining peace. demand diplomatic equal
ity. the horns Of John Bull would be turned
In another direction. We should then merit
and have the respect of England and the
rect Of the world. Instead of war, such
q course would conduce to honorable and
lasting peace. Vt the same time it would be
q most effectual method to annihiate sucL
villainous reproaches as that the execrable
wretch Guiteau is typical American. =
Let the progressive generation rise shove old
partissn animosi,ies. and seek for broad
and comprehensive national policy. While
attempting no unfair advantage, let none of
our rights be compromised. Having differed
from him often in the past on union issues.
we believe we speak the sentiment of grea.
and increasing proportion of the American
people in expressing the conviction that the
policy of Secretary Blaine is that for the
nation. II justly entities him to the appella-
ton Of the Bismarck of America. The re-
cent violent and base attacks on him will
react against his calumuiators. and tend to
demand for his exculpation BY the popular

inalIy offered by Mr. Robinson. of New York,
calling on the attorney general for his Opin-
ion as to whether. if Joseph Warren keifer.
Alonzn b. Cornell, or Charles Carroll, should
be arrested in the British Empire without
having committed any crime, the English
government, by suspending the writ of habeas
sorpus, could lawfully detain him on indet-
mite suspicion without trial, or without the
right OF the United States to demand his re-
lease.
Mr. Robinson, of New York, desired to de-
bate the resolution, but the Speaker held that
the pending motion. to lay iC upon the table,
was not a debatable resolution. Tabled.
Mr. Orth reported adversely the resolution
requesting the President to communicate all
the correspondence with the British govern
ment on file in the state department, in ref
erence to the case of ID. II. O'ConnOr. cit
izen of the United States, now imprisoned in
Ireland. He stated that the paper referred
to had already been asked for by previous
resolutions of the House.

the table by a vote of II to 40.
A long discussion then ensued, Messrs. Cox
and Robinson of New York. Pound, Robe
son and Kasson taking a prominent part
therein.
During the debate Mr.. Murch, of Maine,
sent to the clerks and had read, a resolution
of the Rockland branch league, asking for
congressional action in regard to the impris-
oned American citizens.
Mr.. Cox finally moved to recommt the
resolution with instructions to the commit
tee to insert the names of Michael Hart, H.
o. Mahoney and John McEmery, and to add
a clause requesting the President to demand
of the British government a prompt trial of
those citizens OF their prompt release.
Mr.. Orth stated that he had no objection to
that action. and the resolution was accordingly
recOmmitted.

bill was then resumed. MIR. Herbert argued
in favor of small House, but great CON-
fusion prevented his being heard. and he
yielded to the motion to adjourn, which at

has been a regular custom since the DEM
