of our readers. though We question d.
that in the last session of Congress teo
Honorable Colonel bumped rlms,r up.
and then AND there maae himself tine
champion of that doughty little South

T. tell us an about the whole lining.
First OF which Us This most agreeable
statement from him:
IL There is one place in thc world
where fnc people love the United States
am hate Great Britain. that place Is
Venezuela
Al men, ass wei as women. nnl s. agree
able % hc loved. and the great heart
OF ,hc American people viii undoubtedly
feel a strong Impulse towards beating
a few times quicker towards the Nenczu-
clans when 10 gets firm hold ON that
statement tha; thcy love the people of
the United States. But the increasing ai-
:ocion would Dee Increased al a lNeNer
pace II tnc Honorable colonel had NOT
g. closely connected Venezuelan love for
us with Venezuelan hatred for Great
Hri'ain. In the next breath hc let us
kus. that his good old Scotch Irish blood
IS aroused 20 white heat over the way
An which DE Says Great Britain is cndca-
yol1ne 70 seize the entire Venezuelan ter

Perhaps The Nenezlclans Will excuse us
for arrcsiing The rapid sise ci our rccipro-

and reflect upon this statement. May not
the fact that Great Britain proposes
SELLING some Venezuelan territory. ac-
soraing 80 Colonel Livingston have some
think 20 do with that tender affection
for Americans which has suddenly
sprung up IN the Venezuelan heartf May
not d lingering idea that Mr.. Monroe -

States into bloody war with Great
Britain TO arrest that seizure OF lands
