THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1860.

Oar young Prince is now taking his lessons on
Republicanism. When he first came in contact
with it at Detroit it seems to have almost suffocated
him with kindness, or with curiosity ; but through-
out all, the son of a Queen, and the great-grandson
of the " horrible tyrant," comported himself to the
entire satisfaction of the great-grandsons of those
who rebelled successfully againk the tyrant.
Perhaps in that part of the States, however, no
large proportion of the inhabitants are natives,
much less great-grandsons of natives ; but even the
Irish settlers there seem to forget their old anti-
pathy to the Sassenach, for one of them rode back
to him after having taken his farewell, to assure
him that " If he would come back four years hence
they would run him for President !" a compliment
which the hereditary Prince doubtless fully appre-
ciated.

He soon found himself, however, where he was at
least free to enjoy himself free from crowds. His
visit has also furnished us with two or three
more attempts to describe what all travellers pro-
nounce to be indescribable—the Prairie. Niagara
and the Prairie are the two things on which all who
see them cannot help saying something—and we are
thankful for it—at the same time they all agree in
the same preface or conclusion, that to form any idea
of them, they must be seen. The boundless ocean
of land, the long waving Prairie grass, and the
magnificent flowers interwoven with it, and the
prairie fires, must form a spectacle worth exchang-
ing with the Alps, and their, too frequently,
fatal dangers. Not that the Prairie is without its
dangers. The awfully splendid fires may be blown
towards you, and you may soon lose yourself in the
level or succession of uniform undulations; but
there is the resource of firing the grass before you,
and if you have forgotten your compass, and the
sun and stars are invisible, there is, it seems, the
friendly compass weed, whose leaves always point
due north and south. Here, however, the PRINCE
found another attraction. There was game of
various kinds, especially the much-coveted prairie-
hens, a species of grouse. Surely, next season,
numbers of our sportsmen
will visit the far west.
There they will have game ensugh, from the buffalo
which
to the smallest species, will furnish them
infinitely more manly and exh • hireling sport than
that poulterers' amusement
--,port we will not call
it—of battue shooting.

Baron RENFREW,- as we ought now to term him,
had a peep also at slaves and slave States. In fact
this was the greatest novelty he had to see. The
game he might perhaps haVe found specimens of in
the Zoological Gardens. They could at least be
brought to England ; but, happily, a slave he can-
not see in his native land. Ile must go to the
great Republic for that. The grandsons of those
bieets have ;emanci-
pated were L;Evii,GE If L'S "
pated all their slaves, and never would allow this
island to be tainted with the breath of slavery ;
the grandsons of those who founded the great Re-
public have multiplied their slaves to millions, and
glory in their shame. Not much, for his comfort,
did Baron RENFREW see of this disgust-
ing institution. Missouri, through which
•be passed, is losing its slaves, and fast becom-
ing " Republican" in the technical sense—that is
aesixons to limit, control, and finally to got rid of
the cargo of
the country.
He is now, a_
nowever, in the American political
capital, and has been cordially welcomed by the
ipBESIDZYZ. ALI seems to be good-will and plea-
