prejudice against the British nation to
so far influence you that. seemingly.
you find ii impossible TO make either
fair or temp statements respecting
the war now going on in South Africa.
Compare your language when you say
that how contemplate is
the figure of that Englishman
who can find in a victory OF seven or
eight of his own countrymen over che
Boer a matter of wild hurrahs." etc.
You are referring to the rejoicings in
England over the relief of Matching
In contrast TO what you say, l would
refer you to the remarks of the New
York Tribune (Which. presume, cannot
have escaped your nCtice), on the same

to get out of debt to the State.
