do hope that he will; then the whole nego

lthat there are many facts that will come
put in no other way, and we have reason to
believe moreover, that these facts will
prove that the greater part of the charges
brought against the Government are mere
factious asze:tions. So far as we can us
certain, the facts of the case are as follows:
On August 9b, Mr. Brien Was toid that
his tender would be accepted, ** provided

qitirements of law be complied with, wiih-

of the Government, suid that they

It is well known tkat njost of the writers
of history have so wri ten as to make facts
elucidate their preconceived theories, or to
|subserve their party or sectarian predilic
uons
differently Hume and Macauley have treat
ed the facts of English histury; and how
Lingare draws conclusions, «nd states cir
cumstances more trothfally than either.
So falsely have some portions ef history
been written so foally bave some great

events been misrepresented, so outrageous-
ty haye some Hlustrious characters been
defamed that —in language which has been
very generally accepted — the distinguished
philosopher, Connt De Maistre says that,
foy the last three hundred years history
bad been a conspira¢y against the truth,
If men, writing about events of the past
ages have permitted th mselves to be con

trolled by party, nativna! or religious feel

much to expect that sewspaper writers
should describe present events in any other
way than will subserve their party or per-
sonal interests. If these wiiters have been
discarded office holders or ure expectants
of offjee oy power, then they have strong
inducements to gloss over the truth, to ex-
aggerate circumstances, and to injure the
reputytian of their political opponents,
wom they hope to displac e.
