ARMY CONTRACTS.

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 left
by the war towards a nation the North held to
have sided with their enemies is dying away, and
is in no small measure soothed by American action
in the Fenian conspiracy, for every candid citizen it.
his heart acknowledges that he has no more right to
express aloud his sympathy with those engaged
in fomenting a rebellion iu Ireland and an invasion
of Canada than the English had openly to sympa-
thize and surreptitiously to aid the Southern Con-
federacy. Mr. JOHNSON declares he could not act
otherwise than as a messenger of peace, without
violating the instructions of his Government. Thi.
he plainly said in his last speech in America, when
his fellow-citizens of Baltimore bid him " GOD
speed" on his mission. his first words in his first
speech in England are to reiterate this. In the face
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 act
of the Unite). States proves the bent of the peopit•
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 but it could not even
furnish a pivot for the people to rally around, and
the armies had to be extemporized. I€• 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 !A-
lley° that blood is thicker than water can easily
be enlightened regarding the feeling of the leaders
in the United States. SEYMOUR is 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 haile 1 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

711 E AMERICAN MINIS7ER A 7

SHE PFIELD.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
His Excellency REVERDY JOHNSON attended the
annual feast of the Sheffield Cutlers' Company last
Thursday, and, as the honoured guest, delivered
the speech of the evening. Its tone will every-
where in this empire be received with the utmost
satisfaction ; for it spoke of a lasting friendship
where England most desires to be friends. Making
all due allowance for the occasion, enough remains
to assure every reader as well as every hearer that
the American Minister is a messenger of peace.
For no other people do the Americans entertain a
kinder feeling, exclaimed Mr. JOHNSON, who, per-
haps, as well as any man alive, knows his country-
men. We are, in fact, he continued, "by origin
and institutions one people ; we have a common
name, a kindred blood, similar privileges, and
equal protection. Our political institutions are
fashioned from yours, with a deep and undying at-
tachment to human liberty in their foundation. In
our hand—l mean in our joint hand—that liberty
will live for ever." His Excellency then alluded to
the civil war (many assert that it is impossible
for an American to make a speech or deliver a lecture
without such an allusion) as an inheritance through
slavery left to America by their COMM on ancestors. He '
next touched on the Presidential election, declaring
from his personal knowledge of both the candidates
that, whichever shall be the choice of the people,
" You will find in him a friend of England." We are
glad to have Mr. JOHNSON'S opinion on this subject,
for many have said that Gen. GRANT is a good hater ;
that, disgusted with England's course during the
civil war, he conceived towards her a bitter dislike,
which he would take an early opportunity of show-
ing, if elected to the Presidential Chair. Turning
to Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the Minister continued,
" Your father was a guest of mine for some four or
five days some four or five:years ago. It was during
the session of a Convention for the nomination of a
candidate for the Presidency. He was doing me the
honour to stay with me, and he expressed a hope
that we should stand together. He was obliged to
leave me, and I received a telegraphic communica-
tion from him from Philadelphia, after which he
wrote me a long letter, saying that he had never
heard the )IADAQ of the gentleman laminated, and

abilities and troops withdrawn from the Southern
States, precisely the same men would rule
low as before the war. In the North the
Negro is of no consequence, and he is de-
died the suffrage in many States simply from
prejudice, not that he could in the slightest degree
lo harm ; but this is of the less consequence, as, al-
,,hough he is socially obnoxious, there is neither the
interest nor the desire to harm him. In the South
the case is quite different, for the material prosperity
)f these St rtes almost wholly depends on the dis-
eosition the negro will evince to work, and in
:ase of disinclination oa his part the power of
ompulsion to make him do so to be placed
in the hands of the whites is the difficulty.
If the rule of the Southern planter were un-
ehecked, the Northern belief, is that SAMBO'S
condition would soon resemble that of a slave.
Llerefore the Northern man maintains that he
,nust either be "a citizen or a chattel." This the
Democrat disputes, asserting that he has long miin-
tained a position which is neither the one not the
other in the Northern Sates. Bat why did not
" A Yankee" give the reason, which he must have
known so well, that in the North it was no one's
interest to interfere with him, while in the South he
was the vital question. Granting the sacredness of
States' Rights, there are other rights more sacred
still; an 1 if the declaration on which the Re-
public‘ is based, that all men are. equal and en-
titled to the pursuit of,happTatess, is true, it must
averri le the right of 'a §tate to 1101 I in servitu le a
race of human beings, or to enact laws compelling
labour. A glance at the growth of the Federation
shows that however tenaciously held, these rights
have neither in a great majority of instances been
sanctioned by ancient usage, nor acquired and sanc-
tified by the blood of the former dwellers on
the soil. Only thirteen States wrested indepen-
dence from the mother country, but there are
now 37 States ; that is, a number almost double of
the original has been added to the Union. As no
provision existed under the old Confederation for
forming and admitting new States it had to be
created, and 21 having adopted, assented to, and
ratified the Constitution, have become integral
parts of the Union. Whenever a territory within
the jurisdiction of the Republic shall have attained
a sufficient population either of citizens of the
Union or immigrants from foreign countries it be-
comes admissible into the Union with equal rights,
privileges, and powers with the original States.
Hence the 13 have been swamped by districts of
whose existence the inhabitants who fought the
War of Independence were unaware. Before
these territories attained to the dignity of
States the power of Congress was exclusive and
universal. The Governor, Secretary, United States
Attorney, and Marshal are appointed for four years
by the PRESIDENT, and all laws passed by the
elected Council and Representatives, though ap-
proved by the Governor, are null and voi 1 if dis-
approved by Congress. It is true that each terri-
tory is represented by a delegate in the Congres-
Aonal House of Representatives, with the right to
take part in a debate wherein his constituents are
interested, but without a vote. When such a ter-
ritory rises into the dignity of a State it acquires
rights all are bound to respect—but such rights do
not override the very principle whereon the Re-
public has been built. The Spectator's correspondent
maintains the absolute sovereignty of the State in
all matters not delegated to the Federal Govern-
ment, and hence its right is indisputable to pass
any laws regulatio suffrage or property, no matter
how absurd. Theoretically this is true, but prac-
tically it is not ; for no community could run riot,
and enact unjust and absurd laws, without affecting
their neighbours, who when injured have the right
to interfere. If "A Yankee" wants a proof of
this, he has it in his own illustration. The
Southern States chose to cherish what they called
a " domestic instituti-m," which, in truth, militatel
against Republican ideas of man's right. 'That
institution was as old as the settlement of the coun-
try, the negroes and the Puritans being landed i I
America in the same year. Yet, with all the
weight attached to ancient usage, and to property
inherited from the forefathers of the existing citi-
zens, it was unable to withstand the contact, and
was abolished by a war which liberated the slaves
almost by annihilating the masters. If any State
passes laws which militate against equity and
the general welfare, States' Rights will not pro-
tect that State from a Federal interference, be-
cause the national welfare is of greater importance
than the right of any State, and will crush it if they
come into collision. The position is curious, for
the general sense is against negro equality, yet
that sense is even more decidedly opposed to any-
thing savouring of slavery, and the problem is
how to secure the rights of the black man without
placing him on an equality with the white man, a
proposition easier to propound than to elucidate.
We have followed " A Yankee" through all his
letters, and we recognize in him a thorough repre-
sentative of his class. He gives expression to an
immense range of thought in the United States,
and grasping and imbued as he is with the feel-
ings of a large portion of his fellow-citizens,
he has boldly predicted, and has generally
proved a true prophet. Whether he is right in
predicting Republican defeat unless saved by GRANT
will soon be shown, but he concludes his letter by
stating that if the Republicans gain the Presidential
election it will be in spite of their platform ; and if
the Democrats, it will be in spite of their ticket.—

The news from Hongkong, July 24, contains a
rumour that Europeans have been appointed to assist in
the Government at Pekin. This bears out the views and
opinions advocated by this paper with regard to the Chi-
nese. On the 19th June 147 Japanese labourers arrived
at Honolulu, in the Scioto. For a long time past
the Hawaiian Consul at Yokohoma, Mr. Van Reed,
at the instance of the Board of Immigration, has
been endeavouring to negotiate with the Japanese autho-
rities for permission to send to the Sandwich Islands Ja-
panese who might be willing to engage for a term of years
on specified wages, the faith and honour of the Hawaiian
Government being pledged to the protection and care of
the immigrants, and to the fulfilment of the stipulations of
tho contract. But consent was withheld until recently,
when the Tycoon's Government replied that passports
would be granted to such Japanese as should enter into
engagements with the Consul. Mr. Van Reed, supplied
with the moans, and under 'the authorization of the
Board, proceeded at once to engage three hundred and fifty
labourers, twenty of thorn having wives, and to charter
the Scioto to carry them. At Yokohama the Japanese
were eager to embark, and clamorous to be among those
selected to go, and doubtless their personal condition and•
earnings will be better abroad than in their own country.
Under these circumstances it is hoped that this experiment
may result in mutual satisfaction both to the employer and
employed. These Japanese have left their country under
no written contracts. There is only the agreement 'of the
Hawaiian Consul, as agent of the board, with the Japanese
authorities, that the wages shall be $1 per month, with
food, clothing, and medical attendance, and a free passage
from, and return at the end of three years to Japan.
They are under verbal engagements to perform the ser-
vice required to the Board, which has the right to assign
this service to others, and is responsible for the payment
of the wages and the faithful performance of all the stipu-
lations of the engagement with them on the part of their
employers.
It is declared that James Stephens, the bead-
centre and chief organiser of Fenianism, has returned
t.) Paris, whore he has resumed his old profession as
tea-her of languages. His brief career of glory, during
which Irishmen at home and abroad were only too glad
to pay tribute to him, ended with his singular escape from
the Dublin prison. Whether that escape was brought
about by the ingenuity of his Fenian friends, or by the
design of the Government for the sake of making a better
use of him, it destroyed the illusion of martyrdon, and was
fatal to his influence. He did not succeed in winning
a very great place even among Irish heroes, and the sud-
den collapse of his fortune shows how unsubstantial was
the support he professed to have when his reputation was
at the highest.—Bost n Advertiser.
