(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.

As was stated, in effect, in my last letter
there does not appear that any definite object
would be gained by entering into a discussion
upon the abstract question raised by the Northern
quasi-envoys and their so-called British friends.
They persist in the assertion, or opinion, that
a most friendly feeling exists towards Great Bri-
tain and the British people in the United States,
or, rather, in that section thereof which these
quasi envoys represent. The question as to the
real nature of the active sentiments, as they are
called, of any large country would be a compli-
cated, difficult one to dissertate upon. Assuredly
I am not presumptuous enough to try my hand
upon those of the United States, But as the per-
sons referred to chose to give their opinion to my
countrymen, I considered it my duty to give mine;
and 1 here repeat it—merely, however, because the
same opinion has al ways been expressed to me by
every British person who, like myself, has had
reasonable opportunities to observe realities for
some years in this country.
The ruling classes in the Northern States are not
only unfriendly to England as a nation, but malig-
nantly inimical to her commercial and political
interests.

Having arrived at that conclusion, after as earnest
and impartial an inquiry as it was in my power to
make, I expressed my opinion, quart. val., and en-
tered into detail in your journal, more than two
years since. On the present occasion my purpose
simply is to give again my opinion, but now a still
more experienced one—and to spare your readers
my details; but I shall subjoin some extracts from
newspapers published in the North, which pro-
bably
will be considered relevant to the " differences
of opinion" in question.
It is necessary to remark 'here parenthetically,
that no quotations from the New York herald shall
be put forward. Ia consequence of that great organ
of public opinion, having the largest circulation in
the Northern States,—to use its own modest de-
soription—being so much oftener quoted by the Bri-
tish press than its contemporaries, it is only fair to
give those a turn. Moreover, the quasi-envoys and
their organisation in England avow most vehemently
that they repudiate the anti-British proclivities,
loud talk, and, they might have added in plain

English, the slanderous, abusive language of the
organ aforesaid.
Apropos of this repudiation, it reminds me of a
story told of a Tery distinguished and able, but
sometimes coarse spoken, Chief Justice of former

The attorney in a cause objected to some decision
or ruling of his lordship, and said, " I protest
against" so and so. "Go home, sir," quoth the
irate judge, " and protest and be hanged.
Now really when these quasi envoys, who never
utter a word in public, nor publish a line, when
they are over here, to even deprecate the course
pursued by the Herald—tell their audiences and
readers in England that they " repudiate the journal
and all its works, one might be inclined to para-
phrase the rough and ready Ejaculations of the
Chief Justice, and say, " Go home, gentlemen, and
repudiate, and"—ceetera desunt.
Before giving the extracts referred to, I shall
conclude—and gladly—my remarks in connection
with the repudiated Herald, by repeating what was
said, to the same effect as the following, by me (in
The Sun) two years ago :—Many persons here
assert that the New York Herald is, quoad its home
poliiics, &c., a corrupt, disreputable journal. I
leave those who understand such matters best to
decide ; but consider, if it be as stated, that it does
not etjoy a monopoly in the respects stated. Be
this as it may, there is one thing certain, that the
New York Herald has a large circulation in the
United States--is anti-British and anti-Canadian,
bat merely gives expression to the dominant anti-
pathies of the people among whom it circulates.
There are scores of extracts from sundry news-
papers published in the Northern States before me.
There are many, for itntance, from the New York
Tribune, Evening Post, &c.. that for rabid abuse of
England and misinterpretation far exceed in dogged
dulness, but equal inapparent malignity, the quasi-
envoy-repudiate&Hcra/d. However, as the New
York limes is the avowed organ of the Washing.
ton Government, I shall give it the first place.

After pronouncing eulogistic comments upon Rus.
sia, and rather the contrary in reference to France
and England, the article concludes thus :
They imagined that the American Republic had fallen
not to rise again; while, Antaems-like, it has but touched
the earth to rise all the stronger. Never was it surer of
the mightiest destiny than now. England, in its prostrate
hour, turned against it. She did all she dared to do to
make its destruction sure. That is the way in which she
repaid its outflow of goodwill towards the heir to her throne.
The treachery at first confounded—it then exasperated—it
now is coolly accepted as a development of Englaed's dispo-
sition we were fortunate so early to learn. The bewilder-
ment and the passion are fast subsiding into a fixed, un-
changeable policy. We accept the new relations which
England, in our sore straits, saw fit to establish ; and it
shall go hard with us but that she shall have enough of
them before we are through with he-. It is idle to talk
about an oblivion of the past. There are crimes which it
is not in human nature to forget, and this is of them ; and
democracies proverbially have very tenacious memories.
Henceforth American people will recognise no tie to Eng
land. They will consider her the friend of human slavery.
the accomplice in the attempt to assassinate free institu-
tions. and a nation that professes goodwill only to betray
in the day of need. They will remember that Russia on
the other hand has stood firmly by them through ever:
trial. They will admire her for all cf. her grand efforts to
enfranchise end elevate her own people, and will take it as
an earnest of a grander final commission to infuse fresh
blood into Western Eu' ope, and redeem it from the degene-
racy and decrepitude which seem otherwise inevitable.
Young America salutes Young Russia. Let the heathen
rage.
As a r ndant to the " editorial," a sample of
the "London Correspondence" of the same journal
is given :
London is hot and dull. The concerts are over—the
theatres closing. Hyde- park is deserted—Rotten-row a
solitude. Belgravia and Tyburnia have closed their shutters
and are off to the mountains and the sea. The lower classes,
left without the good • examV e of their betters, grow
drunken and savage. Men beat their wives; women scratch
and bite each other— some swallow ears, some gnaw off
fingers. The Cannibal Islands are less savage than this
drunken, besotted lower million of London—the saddest,
hardest, most repulsive populace, I verily believe, to be
found in any civilised country.
It was my intention to offer a few more specimens
of the style and sentiments of the Northern press—
minus the New York Herald— but as, in some re-
spects, the above are actually " mild examples,"
probably your readers may cry hold, enough!" of
such trash; so I shall add one of the instances of
clerical attacks on England that are so common in
this country, and shall only observe that the reverend
orator is represented to be of the " Presbyterian
denomination," was chaplain of the Senate, and is,
or is to be, the pastor of the," American Congrega-
tion," or chapel, in Paris. The Rev. Dr. Sunder-
land, in his sermon delivered on the occasion of
the " Fast-day" lately proclaimed by the President,
observed, inter alia, of England :
"This (slavery) was the apple of discord which
perfidious England—never more to stand in the
affections of tho American people—had thrown
among the ehters of the American Union, to
divide and plague us. This is the heir-loom we
had from the mother country, the source of so
much misery, and the pretext of this terrible con-
vulsion. No doubt England contemplates with
complacency the works of her hands to-day. *
The young giant, after a growth and an activity of
more than eighty splendid years, begins to feel in
his veins the virulence of that deadly poison which
has been circulating there. England looks on and
exults over the operation. ! thou foul, false,
hypocrite of the nations (loud applause), thou
may'st laugh now, but the hour of thy own retri-
bution flail come."
The login of the rev. gentleman appears to me
about on a par with his charitable teaching ; how-
ever, the above charitable extract pretty fairly
represents the tone and spirit in which the
"Clergy" of the majority of the inhabitants of
the Northern States—at least of those of Now
Eng:and—treat of our country. In the aggregate,
the ministers of the Episcopalian, the Roman
Catholic Churches, and those of a few other deno-
minations, refrain from references to political
subjects,
