Grant the rank of General of the Armies of the United States, instead of that of Lieutenant-General. The bill was passed by a vote of 116 yeas to 11 nays. In the course of the proceedings, the Honourable Henry C. Deming, member of Congress from Connecticut, made a brilliant speech, in which the claims of General Grant upon the gratitude of his country were advocated. After alluding to the honours which were conferred by Great Britain upon Nelson, Wellington, and other national heroes, Mr. Deming continued : " Our institutions, it is said, are popular, and that these regal benefactions are hostile to their genius and spirit ; and yet the American people have not in the past been insensible to the claims of great military service to solid .and substantial rewards, and have constantly solicited ex pressions of gratitude in harmony with the simplicity and frugality of our system. They rewarded General Wash ington for his military services in the RevolutiOn by twice electing him to the Presidency. They rewarded General Jackson for his military services in the War of 1812 by twice electing him to the Presidency. It was his services in the same war which contributed vastly to the elevation of General Harrison to the same office, and but for his Mexican victories General Taylor never would have been President of the United States. The heroism of General Scott in two wars directed the attention of a great party to him as their candidate for the Presidency, and all parties united in conferring upon him the rank of Lieutenant-General as the only reward they could bestow upon his life-long devotion to the defence and renown of our flag. Now, I could safely chal lenge each one of this long line of heroes to come forth and present a claim upon national gratitude which cannot be met and overmatched by the claims upon us of that modest and reticent soldier who scattered the armies and destroyed the military power of a rebellion whose success would have buried the Great Republic of the world beyond the hope of resurrection. Tried by the criterion of success, who of them can present a brighter, fairer, more unsullied record? Tried by the interests at stake, upon which of their swords did interests so momentous hang ? Tried by the valour of the adversary, who of them ever encountered a foe so worthy of his steel ? If in the sad and disheartening summer of 1863 it had been asked you, what rank will you confer upon the General who silences the batteries at Vicks burg, that the Mississippi, through the bisected rebellion, might course unobstructed from the prairies to the Gulf ; if it had been asked us at the close of the last session, what will you do for him who breaks the lines of Richmond and receives the sword of Lee, what soul in this house could have placed any limit or qualification upon its obligations ? Find a single martial enterprise in the whole history of mankind more serious in the obstacles to be overcome, more ' luminous as an example of heroism and endurance, more fatal to an enemy, more magnificent in its results, than the single enterprise of opening the Mississippi River; search the tide of time for a nation which was ever delivered from such depths and exalted to such a pinnacle of exaltation by one single blow as by that struck. at Richmond in April last, which at the same time broke the head and paralysed the extremities of the rebellion. War has been defined to be contention by force for the purpose of crippling or over whelming an enemy ; and in glancing at the history of our war it seems to me that we had made but little progress even in crippling our enemy until the inflexible will and martial energies of General Grant entered as an animating and directing soul into the armies of the Republic. Prior to his conspicuous appearance upon the grand arena we had met with many reverses and a few successes, but the reverses were most depressing to the national spirit, and the successes had hardly penetrated the hide of the defiant monster which was confronting us. War had surged and resurged with alternate triumph and defeat over the devoted plains of Missouri. We had gained a lodg ment on the coast of South Carolina ; we held the sand spits of Hatteras, and we had dearly purchased a strategical position on Roanoke Island. But in neither of these affairs had we succeeded in actually debilitating the enemy, and from neither of these points had we been able to penetrate the enemy's country much beyond the range of our can non. The first decided success which let in a glimpse of sunlight, and lifted the cloud of despondency and exhi larated the national heart, were the brilliant operations upon the Tennessee and the Cumberland. When, follow ing hard upon the capture of Fort Henry, the country learned that Fort Donelson, strongly fortified by nature and art, had surrendered, with its garrison of 16,000 prisoners, and that large sections of Kentucky and Tennessee were redeemed from rebel thraldom, we asked, with all the vehe mence of kindling gratitude, to whom we are indebted for a vigour of operations and an earnestness of purpose which prove that military enterprise and heroism are not obso lete, and that there is still some hope for our drooping flag, and we were told that he who could say to a rebel general, "No other terms than an unconditional surrender can be accepted ; I propose to move immediately upon your works," was one of those worthy beneficiaries whom the nation had educated at the great military school; that he had won his spurs in the earliest - battles of the Mexican war ; that he had participated in that series of hard-fought engagements which carried triumphantly the flag of the Bepublic from the shores of the Gulf to the lake-encircled citadel of the ancient Aztecs ; that he had won his full grade of first lieutenant in those bloody hours ''hen Molino del Rey suc cumbed to the impetuosity of our soldiery, and his brevet of captain on that day, ever memorable in our annals, when the steep and frowning heights of Chepultepec were car ried, and the trembling city below implored the mercy of our artillery. We are told that when the war was over, disgusted with the ennui which haunts a soldier on the peace establishment, he had resigned his commission as captain, but that when the rebellion struck the first tocsin he rushed to the defence of the flag under which ho was trained and nurtured, and offered his services to Governor Yates, of Illinois ; that ho had organised the Illinois quota under the first call for troops ; that, as colonel of the twenty-first regiment of that State, he had quelled the guerillas in North Missouri; that he had risen rapidly to the grade of brigadier-general ; that he had destroyed a rebel magazine at Paducah; that he had wiped out Jeff. Thompson at Frederickton; that he had severely chastised a superior force of the enemy at Bel mont; that he was a General who seemed to understand what war meant and whit it did not mean; that in his judgment it did not mean lying in camp and garrison, drilling and organising for ever and ever, but seeking the enemy, moving on his works, pushing and pounding until he gave way ; and that when he did that you were not to wait for weeks and months for horses, shoes, transporta tion, but that you were to push on with such resources as you had, hang on his flanks like grim death, and if one ex pedient failed, try another and another until he was utterly routed and dissolved. In short, we are told that he was a positive man, of pluck and purpose and self-reliance, who did not believe, as some did, that Robert E. Lee was en dued by the supernatural powers, with supernatural resources and strategy and übiquity, or who did not fear, as some did, that he, with the entire army of Northern Virginia, could suddenly throw -a summersault over intervening mountains and forests into our lines, but that, by butting and hammering away with mere human caution and skill and perseverance, the mightiest Paladin of treason could be outflanked or whipped. Much criticism was expended at the time upon the battle of Shiloh ; and that part of it which applies to the gaps and disconnections in our dis jointed line of battle may be just. It was a vast meMe between separate regiments, brigade and divisions, each fighting on his own hook and for its own posi tion, with but little concert of action and with but slight mutual support. So far as the criticism applies to the violation of true principles of war by fighting that battle with his back to the Tennessee River, General Grant has broken his austere silence and condescended in charac teristic strain to speak for himself. After the battle of Pittsburg Landing General Buell began criticising in a friendly way the impolicy of his having fought the battle with the Tennessee behind his men. " Where," if beaten, could you have retreated, General ?" asked Buell. "I did not mean to be beaten," was Grant's sententious reply. "But suppose you had been defeated in spite of your exer tions ?" " Well, there were all the transports to carry the remains of the army across the river." " But General," urged Buell, "your whole transports could not contain even ten thousand men, and it would have been impossible for them to make more than one trip in the face of the enemy." " Well, if I h a d been beaten," said General Grant, quietly lighti ng acigar as he spoke, "transportation for ten thousand men would have been abundant, for that would have been more than would have been left." And yet in one important respect it contributed more to the eventual success of our arms than any action in the war. It was the experimentum crucis which first tested the re spective stamina and manliness of the two belligerents. It was the first hurling together of the two peoples upon a large scale in a hand-to-hand fight, and when the enemy retreated from that broken and gory field, he retreated with his arrogancy tamed and his dream of invincibility dis pelled for ever. No Southern soldier from that terrible day presumed to despise again the courage, the per sistence, or the marksmanship of the adversary, for there was weeping and lamentation in every Southern home. I have already adverted to the vast importance to the national cause of the capture of Vicksburgh. In those protracted operations, a war by itself, which culminated in the overthrow of that almost impregnable stronghold, it is difficult to discover what element or quality of a consummate commander General Grant failed to exhibits Strategy ? Why the conception of the new enterprise, after every conceivable plan had been tried and failed, was either an inspiration of strategical genius or the result of the most laborious stragetical study, labour, and perseverance. Why, the reconnoissances of the different bays, creeks, passes, and rivers which ho made in that amphibious region, the dredging which he executed. the canals which he dug to open a safe water passage be low the city, a re w ith ou t para llel in resistance to natural obstacles, unless th e p ara ll e l is found in the memorable expedition o f X erxes i nto the P e l o p o nnaaus, which chan nelled Mount Athos and bridged the Hellespont. Fore thought ? Why, every step of a seemingly desperate ad venture was piearranged in his mind, and every contin gency which could be anticipated provided for in advance. Presence of mind ? Coutinencies that could not bo fore seen were upon the spur of the occasion as fully met as if they had originally been embraced within his plans. Courage ? Did he not push his transports through an iron hail compared with which the full blast of Gibraltar and I Cherbourg would be comparatively harmless ? Persis tence ? Did ho not again drive the same transports, riddled by their first ordeal, through the fortifications which spouted destruction from the bluffs of Grand Gulf ; and did he not, after twenty consecutive days of fighting and five pitched battles, huddle the army of the South west into its lines and hold it there until it dropped into his arms as prey ? When Gen. Grant first entered upon the general direction of affairs, four new and controlling characteristics forthwith reformed, invigorated, and syste matised our military administration—co-operation of pur pose in our separated armies, energy in attack, rapidity in pursuit, and wisdom in the selection of the commanders of armies, corps, and divisions : the fit man for the fit place. I cannot, in this brief resume of his services which I am attempting, but barely allude to the manner in which ho combined the scattered and independent operations of our various armies in the field, concentrated upon a single point the entire military strength of the nation, and de stroyed that damaging expedient by which the enemy in command of the interior lines of communication was enabled to reinforce any of his armies which were vigorously as sailed. The campaign upon which the Lieutenant-General first entered is admitted by the highest military critics to have been grand and perfect in its conception, contem plating the simultaneous movement and the joint action of four armies—the Army of the Potomac, the Army of the Cumberland, the Army of Western Virginia, and the Army of the James—each with a different objective point, but all contributing to the great purpose of the campaign, the de struction of the chief army of the rebellion. If the plan par tially failed, and what was designed to have been finished in the field was at length completed by a protracted siege, it was not due to any want of genius or merit in the plan of skill and vigour in executing the part of it under the immediate supervision of the commanding ge neral. No man can contemplate, without admiration and wonder, that hand to-hand tight in the blind thickets of the bloody wilderness, that persistent and inflexible ad vance against overwhelming natural obstacles, against a determined enemy intrenched in front, acquainted with every path and with every point of attack and resistance, in possession, too, of interior lines over which he could rapidly hurry his troops, and throw them impetuously in any direction. No one can contemplate, without astonish ment and synipathy, the burden of labour, anxiety, and solicitude which he cheerfully bore during the immense labours of this protracted siege, and its final success our thanks to Grant unconsciously mingled with our thanks to God. For this crowning work alone, so important in its immediate results, and charged with ultimate conse quences so momentous to liberty, civilisation, and the human race, let gratitude unbounded, unmeasured, infi nite, be freely tendered, And let substantial honour and reward be bestowed in some slight degree commensurate with the obligations of a disenthralled and rescued nation. I think I may safely invoke the favour of the repre sentatives of the people to the humble testimonial prof fered by this bill. Let us not in this day of our deliver ance paralyse future heroism and reaffirm before the civil ised world the ingratitude of Republics by refusing this small tribute to the foremost soldier of this ge neration ; to hiro, who, entering the war as Captain, won in its battles every successive grade, and emerged from it with a rank unsurpassed in our service ; to him who at Fort Donelson first lightened the despondency of a trembling nation ; to him who at Shiloh first demoralised the spirit of the haughtiest of foes ; to him who at Vicks burgh first released the loyal Fathers of Waters from forced complicity with treason ; to him who at Chattanooga first opened the gates of Georgia that Sherman might sweep from Atlanta to the sea, and from the Savannah to the Cape Fear ; to him who received the swords of Buckner, Pemberton, and Lee, and the capitulation of three great armies of the rebellion; to him who successfully conducted two of the most memorable sieges in history ; to him, finally, who dissolved the Confederacy at Richmond, and struck every rebel rag from the Rappahannock to the Rio Grande. Time, it is said, devours the proudest human memorial. The impress we have made as a nation may be obliterated ; our grandest achievements, even those which we now fondly deem eternal, those which embellish the walls of that historic Rotunda, may all drop from the memory of man ; our civilisation, liberty, arts, agriculture, though sculptured in the pediments of this Capitol, may all be engulphed in Lethes's dark waters ; this massive structure, with its solid foundations, expanded wings, towering columns, and bubbling dome may all be buried with our Constitution, Government, laws, and polity, in a common grave, yet we shall not all perish. You may rest assured that three American names will survive oblivion, and soar together immortal, the name of him who founded, the name of him who disenthralled, with the name of him who saved the Republic. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times, commenting upon the argument that I generosity or chivalry softens the practices of war, remarks that it is one of the essential conditions of good generalship that you should be superior at the point of attack, or, in other words, that you should contrive to take your enemy at a disadvantage, and so overpower him. You select the weakest point, not the strongest, of his defences. If you can manage co exhaust him beforehand by famine, pestilence, privation, or torments of any kind, so that on the day of battle he is incapable of standing before your batteries or bayonets, or even of re turning you blow for blow, the greater honour is yours. The object, the legitimate object, of every belligerent is not only to destroy the enemy, but to protect himself. The other day, at Valparaiso, the American commodore undertook to engage the Spanish flagship, itself an ironclad, and in less than thirty minutes to leave nothing but her mast-heads above water. He said he was sure he could do this from the measure he had taken in target practice of the power of his own guns, and he added that he could do it without the slightest risk of injury to his own vessel. Perhaps there was good reason for the boast, but in such a case what becomes of the " chivalry " of war? We ourselves are build ing ironclads with the professed intention of making them as superior to all other ironclads as the Monadnock was to the Numancia, and so the rule runs throughout. Perhaps the argument from " chivalry" was reduced to the greatest possible absurdity by the remonstrances of the Spanish admiral himself on this very occasion. He, who was preparing to lay his impregnable ship alongside a defenceless town, and to pour destruction from his batteries against all within his reach, affected the utmost indignation at hearing that the Chilians might protect their coasts with torpedoes and place such abominable engines of destruction in the path of the destroyer. The Daily News is of opinion that the transfer of Mr. Stephens from a position of some insecurity and privation in Ireland to one of safety and, among certain classes, of consideration in Paris or New York is not only a pure gain to himself, but the British Government has every reason to congratulate itself on the latest addition to the ranks of the Irish emigration to the United States. Mr. Stephens has relieved it from the trouble and responsibility of guarding against a mischief which, though it did not amount to danger, was yet attended with con siderable inconvenience, and he has imposed that obligation upon the Federal Executive. One class of persons will, perhaps, suffer from the exchange. The Irish maidservants and day-labourers of New York, and of the other cities of the Atlantic coast, will probably pay dearly for Mr. Stephens's presence. unless they have lately learned a wisdom of which hitherto they have not exhibited any trace. But though Mr. Stephens's Irish dupes in America may smart in purse for their folly, they will not smart in person, like their unfortunate fellow-countrymen at home. Native American sympathy with Mr. Stephens is out of the question. The Irishry of the cities regard him as a hero, and the less scru pulous demagogues of the Democratic party may, perhaps, try to turn him and them to political ac count. But the American people feel towards him as the English people do. Mr. Stephens will receive only such attentions as are prompted by curiosity, and not such as are dictated by respect. The inte rest felt in him will be that which might be felt in a political Jack Sheppard and a political Barnum combined—in a clever prison-breaker and a clever charlatan. The Morning Star believes that Mr. Stephens will spend the next few months in reorganising the cir cles, and in raising and expending the sinews of war. He will then collapse as Colonel Mahony and Lieutenant-General Killian have done, and retire into private life amid the bitter taunts and reproaches of a rancorous and disappointed faction. There will then be an end to the Fenian Brother hood. The Daily Telegraph thinks that the declaration of Stephens that Ireland is to be invaded may be dictated by the deepest sincerity. On the other hand it may be a mere ruse, intended to cover ano ther attempt like that which was recently made in the direction of Canada. It is hard to see how men, even with the measure of intelligence which Stephens must possess—men who are acquainted with Eng lish history—can believe in the possibility of erect ing an independent State at England's door—a State which she would be obliged to conquer in order to protect herself from ruin. On the other hand it would be in the highest degree unwise in our Go vernment to take no precautionary measures against attempts which a band of desperate conspirators may make to establish their declining power. The Morning Star thinks that to Mr. Whiteside the knowledge that the Fenian leader is feeding off roast turkey, tomato sauce, and pumpkin pie, in stead of prison bread and gruel, will occasion genuine vexation of spirit ; but by the majority of the British public the movements of this agile con spirator will either be regarded with indifference or as a legitimate source of amusement, So long as Stephens was plotting in Ireland there was danger —danger not to the British Empire, which will never be dismembered by a handful of pikes, but to the poor peasantry, who might be intoxicated by the fumes of revolutionary patriotism flavoured with whisky. While Stephens was in Ireland— whether in prison or out of prison—there was reason to fear that his presence might be the means cf igniting the inflammable materials which undoubt edly abound in the sister isle. The solitary indi vidual among all the Fenian leaders and circles who has developed a modicum of the capacity which reflected so much lustre on the councils of the United Irishmen is as much out of mischief's way in New York as if he were tracking the ocean in the direction of Western Australia. He may take round his hat, and fulminate and conspire against Saxon tyranny ; but the three thousand miles which separate him from the Irish shore will interpose an obstacle more formidable than the Alps to the accomplishment of any undertaking which he may map out on paper. The Daily News believes that President Johnson has now before him a splendid opportunity. All that is needed of him is the renunciation of his per sonal preference for all the details of his own re construction plan. As a statesman he ought to be able to make this sacrifice to the exigencies of the State. If he cannot make it--if he is resolved to have his own way or nothing, and if he sees in the conciliation and moderation f the scheme of Con gress only a personal triumph for himself, and not a predominant desire on their part to advance in the work they are both engaged in, he will miss the flood of the tide in his affairs which would have floated him to fortune as a statesman, and be ever after bound in the shallows and miseries of a petty personal policy. And the Daily News does not think he will have a chance of success in any en deavour to force his own policy on the country, when the only reason which can be given for his obstinate adherence to it is that it is his own. To take back the South on equal terms, to give to those who had been conquered in an attempt to destroy the Government an equal position with themselves in the powers and privileges of that Government, is surely an act of unequalled magnanimity on the part of the victors in a civil war, and to expect more than this from them, to blame them for not giving to the South their old inequality of repre sentation, and in consequence their old predomi nance, is surely to exhibit complete ignorance of the commonest dictates of wisdom and the simplest maxims of experience. Yet the one is the policy recommended by Mr. Johnson and enforced by his admirers—the other is the policy on which Congress and the people is resolved. The one is the policy of laissez faire, the other needs wisdom in its con ception and statesmanship in its execution. To exhibit such statesmanship is Mr. Johnson's oppor tunity. The Daily News wishes it could believe him to be equal to it. The Daily Telegraph says that England has spent, within the last few years, one hundred millions ster ling upon our navy. It is the fashion to receive with scorn, or dismiss with incredulity, the statements which reveal the doings of other maritime nations, and to be content with the assurance that our iron clad fleet is at least abreast of that of France, and that M. Dupuy de Lome heartily agrees with Mr. Reed inbelieving broadside ships immeasurably supe rior to turret ships. But occasionally there come across the ocean, from various corners of the earth, voices which are calculated rudely to shake our confidence in the Warrior, Minotaur, Northumberland, and Agincourt ; bringing us face to face with questions to which we wish Mr. Reed would vouchsafe an answer. Such an incident recently occurred in Valparaiso harbour. We are informed that when remonstrances and threats of armed interference were addressed to Admiral Nunez by the Consuls of Great Britain and the United States, on the subject of his contemplated bombardment of the town, he pointed at once to the large Spanish ironclad Numancia, and intimated that the pos session of that vessel made the Spaniards masters of the situation. Against the cogency of the argument Admiral Denman, the repre sentative of Great Britain, had nothing to advance. In spite of our enormous annual ex penditure upon the navy, not a single British ironclad is to be found upon any foreign station more distant than the Mediterranean. Against the Numancia the wooden ships of Admiral Denman were practically helpless. But in threatening the Americans with her prowess, Admiral Nunez soon found that he was reckoning without his host. It happened that the United States double-turreted monitor, the Monadnock, had recently arrived at Valparaiso, bound upon a long and trying voyage from New York to San Francisco. She had in February last lain for some time in the harbour of Rio Janeiro, and is said to have produced in the minds of all the English and French cap tains who visited her, a feeling of hopeless despon dency, suggested by the impossibility of pitting any ironclad vessel of England and France against a submerged structure which presented to the guns of an antagonist nothing but two impenetrable turrets. Upon hearing of Admiral Nunez's boast, Commodore Rodgers very plainly intimated to him that, in the event of a combat, the Monadnock would, in thirty minutes, leave nothing but the mast-heads of the Numancia standing above the water. The Admiralty, of course, may say that the threat of the American commander proves nothing more than the characteristic bluster of his nation ; but those who are acquainted with the crushing force of the 500-pound spherical shot which the Monadnock's guns project cannot en tertain the slightest doubt that the Numancia would now be rotting at the bottom of Valparaiso harbour if Commodore Rodgers had been called upon to give effect to his words ; and that the result would have been the same had any of the finest ironclads of the Royal navy occupied the position of the Spanish vessel. THE tc ANGLO -AMERICAN TIMES." In the days of their own direst extremity, all true Ame ricans had words of encouragement or friendly counsel for their fellow Republicans in Mexico. In the midst of a four years' struggle for very life, the American Government found time for numerous friendly offices, and truly reflected the ardent sym pathies of the people. But now " The strife is o'er, the battle won," and freedom has triumphed gloriously. The end of the struggle has seen the vital energy of the Go vernment not only unimpaired, but vastly increased. The first year after the war has developed the finan cial resources of the country beyond the hopes of the most sanguine ; and the surplus income which can be applied towards the extinction of the national debt will probably exceed the total yearly revenue of more than one of the first Powers of Europe. How far to trust their misguided and vanquished brethren of the South, is now the greatest difficulty which Americans have to encounter. This is a very important matter, but its solution is not likely to be unsatisfactory. Their next greatest question would be the glory of a Gladstone. They can spare from the national revenue some twenty millions sterling per year, and still rapidly extinguish their national debt. Under these pleasant circum tances they scarcely know how they shall remit taxation to the greatest advantage. While this is the real state of affairs at home, the American Go vernment is treated with proper respect by foreign Powers. The Emperor of the French no longer expresses contempt, but without doubt sincerely regretting the circumstances by which he has been misled, he freely accords to the United States the courtesy which is her due ; and consents, at her request, that the intervention in Mexico shall cease. England has long ceased to treat her with the scant courtesy she accorded at the beginning of the war. Although there are some internationalques tions which ought soon to be settled, still there is nothing pending which ought to disturb the friendly relations of these kindred peoples. The American people now have time to breathe and look around them. They have time to think of the troubles and difficulties of others, without dan gerous neglect of their own vital interests. An era of peace has dawned in the West, but the Eastern Con tinent is now bristling with arms. A million German soldiers stand ready to scourge the Fatherland with desolating war. Croats, Huns, and Italians will join in the strife. France and Russia, armed to the teeth, look grimly on, and the weaker powers, trembling, prepare as best they may to meet their fate. It is just possible that the impendinc, war may be avoided—it is not altogether improb a ble that it may be limited to one campaign in Central Europe; but the causes are so deep, there are so many ele ments of strife, that none can tell when or where it is likely to end. The third quarter of the 19th century marks a crisis in the history of the world. On the Western Continent the turning point is, doubtless, passed ; on the Eastern it is probably just at hand. Of what is about to be enacted in Europe,Americans cannot be indifferent spectators. Many will inves tigate the matters in dispute, and give their sym pathies to the right, wherever they may find it. But all will look with the deepest interest to the course which England may pursue. She has her enemies in America, and they will gloat over every mistake. Bat the majority of the American people, notwithstanding some heart-burnings, look to England as to a mother-land. They ear nestly sympathise with all that is great and good in the land of Shakspere and Milton, of Chatham and Burke. They would not wish to see England make a single mistake in a crisis so serious as the present. Every nation, like every individual, needs a friendly critic. England cannot possibly see her self as others see her. She is just beginning to comprehend what Americans generally consider her most serious fault—too great attention to ex ternal matters, and a consequent neglect of the less exciting but more important home affairs of v r- every-day life. It is true that she proclaimed the principle of non-intervention long ago, but she made Greece and Belgium exceptions to the rule ; she fought in the Crimed; she did not allow Italian unity to be consummated without talking strongly of her interests in the Adriatic; she was twice on the point of being involved in the American war ; and she did considerable damage to all concerned by the course which she pursued in the matter of Sleswig- Holstein. To tell the plain truth, she has been directly engaged in most of the wars of modern times, and even the few important exceptions found a strong minority of her people urging a policy of intervention - The principle of non-intervention is not yet the settled policy of England. She is exposed to strong temptations, and she is still likely to break over occasionally. We earnestly trust that she will keel ) , out of the conflict which is now impending. France be aggrandised on the Rhine, let England aggrandise herself by giving the best possible govern ment to Ireland. If Russia tend to the Southward, let the masses of England tend upward by the rapid diffusion of education and moral culture. Let every energy be strained to endear the Government of the Queen to all her subjects, and 'with moderate preparations for defence there. will be little reason to fear the predominance of France or of Russia. On the other hand, a little diplomatic intermeddling will often lead to a fa ls e position. Placed in a false position, England mig ht possibly drift into a war, in which she would figh t , to a disadvantage and find at last that she could not prevent the progress of her rival. The so le once turned in this rude manner, might not reco ver , its balance. England would then lose at once a nd for ever her place among the first nations of the world. If birth and childhood, youth a nd middle age, decay and death, are appointed to na tions as to men, England has passed into middle age mid scenes of strife. Let not the long and h appY Yea, rs before her be embittered and shortened by tii e troubles and anxieties, the dangers and disasters, 0, unnecessary contention. She has a vigorous an'', wealthy son, she has younger children that still n eed her care. Let her feel kindly towards him—let her treat them with motherly affection—let her via3l be ways of pleasantness and her paths be paths 01 peace.
