therefore did not know how we could stand together.
(Laughter.) But we have stood, and I trust that
for ever we will stand, your friends, warm, sincere,
willing, and solicitous to be by your side if you at
any time should be in serious trouble." The feeling
to which Mr. JOHNSON gave expression is extending
in both countries. In America the bitterness lef
by the war towards a nation the North held t(
have sided with their enemies is dying away, an'
is in no small measure soothed by American actiot;
in the Fenian conspiracy, for every candid citizen ii .
his heart acknowledges that he has no more right t(
express alou.l his sympathy with those engagec-
in fomenting a rebellion in Irelan 1 and an invasioi
of Canada than the English had openly to sympa
IWz•c and surreptitiously to aid the Southern Coi.
federaey. Mr. JOHNSON declares he could not a..
otherwise than as a messenger of peace, with )(I
viol sting the instructions of his Government. Tlii
he plainly said in his last speech in America, whe.
his fellow-citizens of Baltimore bid him " Got.
speed" on his missbn. His first words in his firs:
speech in England are to reiterate this. In the fac(
of such testimony to the nature of his mission it is
vain for others to assert the PRESIDENT'S hostility
and that of Mr. SEWARD to England.. Every ac
of the United States proves the bent of the pcoph
towards peace. The army will ere long be reduced
to its old dimensions—that is, it will almost cease
to exist. When the war broke out it could not eves
furnish a pivot for the people 'to rally around, and
the armies had to be extemporized. If the United
States intended war even as a remote contingency.
it would not annihilate its army or sell off and dis-
mantle its fleet, and its acts are the substance
while its talk is the mere shadow. Those who be-
lieve that blood is thicker than water can easily
be enlightened regarding the feeling of the leaders
in the United States. SEYMOUR N a descendant
of an English aristocratic family ; GRANT is claimed
by a Highland clan ; so is BLAIR ; and COLFAX is
of an old and thorough English Puritan family.
Whatever may be the prevailing sentiment to which
such men give expression, they turn to Great Bri-
tain as their fatherland, with a feeling which would
come out more strongly in the difficulty or danger of
that country than in her prosperity. In aid of this we
are happy to perceive the increase in the tide of
English emigration. The paragraph we elsewhere
publish shows that, during last month, of the 8,333
emigrants who sailed for the United States from
Liverpool, 3,007 were English, being exactly double
the number of Irish, and considerably more than the
total of the foreigners. This is a cheery sign, soon
likely to produce good fruit. American enmity is
mainly due to the cessation of English and the
overflow of Irish emigration. If the Irish reservoir
be dried up, and English emigration pours into
America, a beneficial effect will rapidly be felt.
Whatever means tend to promote the union of these
kindred nations should be hailed with pleasure by
both ; and in the Minister's speech at Sheffield,
and the revival of English emigration, we see the
happiest omens of a growing and strengthening
alliance.
