Wliile such methods are tu be deplorad and detestcd, we are of Iba tirin coiivkiion tliat t is none of our funeral, and that wlicn Congress passes a rtsolution upon tlie subject, t is ijmply maling a blamed fooi of ltself. lt waa Ëngland hom our forefathera fouglil to gain the freedom we now posIt was England who tned to ¦whale" us again UI 1S12, and place us under lier heel even as she has Ireland to-day. It was Eiijrland tliat gave all the pountenance and aid she possibly could to the southern confederHcy in 1861-5. It was her pcople who bought confedérate l.,, ij ds, and who yet cherUh the hope to s-e thera paid ; and it was one of her ships that attempted to depopulate the north liy spreiiding yellow fover thioughOllt ouicoast cities. It was England who planned and executed the establishment of a morarchy in Mexico when Dooie Snin had Kis banda so lull that he couldn't help himsell; and it is England that to' day hatas an American feoond only to an Lrbbqun. Althoufh Eng!ad is umother country, she has luid a grudfíe against this particular offpring since 1770; and 1819 kdded to il; likewise 1861-5. WhUe recognizing the valuc of her existence in Europc, and the great aid slie ha been in extending clylHïHtlon throuphout the eartb, we still do not believe in making a fooi of oiinett over any of her misfortunes. Slie never loved us, or gyropathizöd witli as. Furthermore she is perfectly able to take care of herself. If the poor, oppressed, down-trodden people of Irelunil eau flnd any method ander the sim to ïuake England reliniliüsh its cruel grp upon their throats, in the name of humanity let tliis country keep her hands off und moutb sliut. out in 0akota, a Uttle colony of republicana comprlglng about enoiiKh voters to mnke a congreslonal district aud fignllug for adivlslou of that land of bllzzimls and Ice-burgs soas to make two Btalee, deslre admlssloii lulo the Union as a state wlth all the prlvl leges thst belong to a sta: e of the Union.

The above only gocs to show the conuramate li cussedness " a man may pack away in liis epidermis in the name of politics.

A fit place, we must confess.
