Yankee, who, being dissatisfied with some of the opinions respecting

the Northerners expressed by Mr. Russell in his recent work, has taken occasion to reason with him on the subject. The mode of defence which he adopts consists partly in flatly denying Mr. Russell's statement, and partly in affirming that the peculiarities objected to in the Americans are the direct and necessary consequences of their English descent. To those who are acquainted both with Oxford and with Mr. Russell it is amusing to find Mr. White, misled by that gentleman's honorary degree, regarding him as the representative of that University, and character- izing him as "au Oxford mandarin."
