TRNTX HINTS.

Readers of the last weekly +. c. Il. noticed
with some degree of astonishment. yet amaze
ment, changing finally to utter disgust. the
paraphrase on the text used during the week at
the American thanksgiving discourse delivered
by Mr.. Cruzan. Mexico is herein presented
in such laudatory terms as TO lead one to the
supposition that the writer, who is none other
than the premier himself, was paving the way
for favorable reception, should he take his
proposed vacation after coronation time to the
halls Of the Montezumas, as the attempt is
made TO disparagc the United States and cs-
peeialy insult her daughters, in language and
allusion unfit for publication, in comparison
with her Mexican sisters. Special pains is
taken TO show the disadvantages and occasional
misfortunes Detailing certain parts Of the United
States, all of which are portrayed as plaques
and curses, while the vivid Eastern imagination
of the writer traverses the "steppes of Tar
tary," presents the "homesick Icelander," and
even pictures Hawaii in such glowing terms as
to sneer at Americans boast of vastness of do.
main, magnitude of rivers or growth Of cities
and population.
The article throughout is written with the
intent evidently, to retaliatc Americans,
and singles out the best friend of this nation to
insult and burcsque her in her season Of thanks
giving, and toward the close hurls his invec-
,ives at the "American Republican" who
would "talk in denunciatory strain Of kings,
and armies and forces independently of the
popular will" We firmly believe, however,
that few outside of Mr. Gibson will find in the
following extract from Mr.. Cruzan's discourse
wherein is presented anything Objectionable
"Le, US remember that righteousness cx-
alteth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any
people. This is true of the greatest, and is
true of the least among the nations. II is true
OF the Great Republic, and it is also true Of
this little kingdom. If this kingdom would
keep her place, and especially il she would
keep an honored place among nations, it must
be by her moral power, for she has no other.
Where lies the strength of nationf Not in
her rich plantations, or ships, or Gattling
guns, or a standing army. No! The real
bulwarks of nation are the bodies of her
sons--or, rather, should say, the spirit and
principles Of her sons. The highest treasures
Of nation are manly bodies, just principles,
high sentiments, intelligence, and loyalty not
only to the powers that be, but loyalty 10 the
Supreme Ruler. That nation which, by its
laws and the influence Of those in high places,
makes drunkenness and immortality easy and
