LETTER 70 THE EAEh OF LIVERPOOL,
On the Folifieal Effects hroduced in .cmerica,
by the Peace a. Ghenf.
BorLEY, ssth Nav, 1915.
MY LoRp--It was frequently observed by
me. in form er letters which had the honor
to address TO your lordslip, during the war
with America, that, fyou were, at last, az I
toretold you would be, compelled to make
peace without bum6fne America, and,j in
deed, without sueduing her, or nearly sub
DUNG her, the result would be honorable to
her, seeing that she would, in q war single
handed against England, have succeeded in
defending herself. 1t was clear that when
once the contest became single combat, to
defend herself must be to her frisunhh and to
us defeat. And, if she came out of the war
without any, even the smallest concessiiu, her
triumph over us must raise her sreatly in the
estimation of her own people. ard. of all the
world. she did come out OF the war in this
way; and the natural consequences have fol-
lowed.
tlo not know that have before noticed
the fact in print, but it il now time that I
should mean the CErious fact reiative tothe
proclamation Of feace with America. We
xnow that peace with any pswer is usually
proclaimed by HERALDS, who staring at
display or armoreal ensigns, and accompanied
by troops in gay attire. and by bands OF mar
tial music, stopping from time to time, to read
the kings proclamation of the peace. This
was done at the Pezce Of .4miens and at the
Peace of Paris. Indeed it is the USUAL
way In which the cessation of war is-pro-
claimed.
( Now, then, how was the peace with .6n,e,icd
proclaimed There was no procession at all ::
there was nothing of the usual ceremony. But
the Courier newspaper, and, believes. that
paper only, informed the public, that Z" Peace

ding The Proclamation The USUAL JHAY,
ct the door Of The office az WlitehaH'i This
was all. and. will be bound, that even the
people passing in the street, did not know
what 1t was that was reading. This is what
the Courier calls the usual way Of proclaim
ing peace There were no Examinations no
trirg OF auns no ringing OF bells no demon
stration Of Joy. In short, the country. which
had been SO eager for the war, and so unani-
NOUS tor its prosecution, seemed not at all TO
regret, that it never knew the exact period
when peace returned. 1t felt ashamed of the
result ofthe war, and was glad to be toldno-
thing at all about it.
But, in -dMerica = There The full force of
pcbiic feeling was Tnaoe manifest. The coun-
try rSsounocd from New Orleans to the ut
most borders Of the Lakes; from the orange
groves to the wlteat lauds, buried four feet
deep III snow, was heard the voice of Joy, the
boast OF success, the shout of'victory. /, who
