Even decent subjects OF Queen Victoria are
ashamed of such men as IoHI Corwn, as would
seem from the following


" A correspondent of the Boston Courier wrNiOo
from Ogdensburg relates the following anecdole:


81 learned that yesterday a clergyman as he
professed 20 be; and undoubtedly was, passed down
the river in the steamer, and the subject o. con.
versation was this same Mexican war. He eI
pressed hope that every American now in MeIt
co would be killed or die of disease ;shis detesla
particular, was such that he was fool enough TO LET
out his party feelings on the subjeei 10 pafly Of
Engiisbmen. One Of the persons present asked
him if he professed to be an American, and enter
tanned such hatred to his own couutIymen, He
said yes. Then said his interroeaIor if YOU have
not decency enough TO keep such thoughts 10 YOUR
self in the presence of strangers and particularly
of people who belong 10, and hold allegiance 10
another COUNTY,, you neither worthy of lhe
name of American, nor fit to associate with Eng
lishmen. From that time forth the fellow held bis
peace, as no one would have any communication
with him. He was despised by all the passengers
on board the boat.''

is now held up by the Raleigh Register and
Hilisborough Recorder. as the very essence and
embodiment of patriotism! The clergyman spok.
en- of in the above anecdoe but re-echoed the sen.
timents of Corwin's Speech, and instantly his rea.
son was denounced, and the man scorned, BY
Englishmen! And if scorned and denounced by
Englishmen, what ought to be the treatment Of
such men at the hands of American ezeus}
