The Era Of Good Feeling.

Among the remarkable events Of the day. we
are bound 10 record the diplomatic courtesies
and amenities which are passing between Great
Britain and the United States Our Minister
IN England, Mr.. LAWRENCE, loses no opportu-
uIty Ia say 10 the people of that country that it
is the chief purpose Of his mission to assure them
Of the good will and fraternal feeling of the uni

seems determined not To be outdone in these
civilities. He even attended the late Pilgrim
dinner at New York not as a buttoned up
diplomatist but as an Englishman, with an
open hand and heart" He proceeded To com
plment the Pilgrim Fathers; 10 speak Of some of
their living descendants in terms of compliment,
and TO bestow eulogy upon our common country.
Surely there can be no objection TO all this, so
long as it may be considered as the courtesy of
not Luatoned up diplomaiisfs. Nor are we dis
posed, IN this new era of good feelings. To look
back upon the two instances in which England
has made war upon us on our own soil-wt-

MIR. Webster.

The recent speeches of Mr.. WEBSTER
at the Pilgrim Dinner and at the City Hall,
in New York, suggest, what has doubtless
occurred to many minds, that as he advances
in age his Imagination seems 10 acquire
freshness, freedom, and vlgor When he
delivered his Bunker Hill grafton, in 1924, an
old Revolutionary soldier sat near by and de
voured every sentence. After it was over, he
said to a companion: That was good | de-
This anecdote reached England, and was pro-
nounced by the London Times TO be highly
descriptive of that solemn, massive, convincing
style of eloquence peculiar To Mr. WEBSTER.
Without losing any Of his characteristic force,
chasteness, and simplicity of stye-for the last
few years, his speeches have been embellished
by frequent passages of touching pathos, bril-
liant imagery, and elegant poetic fancy. The
following instance occurs in his speech at the
New York dinner, above alluded to:
.'Gentlemen, there is the MaytioDer, (pointing to
a small figure of ship in confectionery that stood
before him. There is little resemblance, but a
correct of the Mautotcer. Sons of New Eng
land! there was in ancient times, ship that car
red Jason to the acquisition of the Golden Fleece.
There was a flag ship at the battle OF Actium which
made Augustus Cesar master of the world. In
modern times there have been nag-shps which
have carried HAWKING, and Howe, and Nelson on
the other continent and which have carried Hull
and Decatur, and Stewart this, to triumph
What they all-what are they all, in their
chance Of remembrance among men-to that little
bark the May o,otr, which reached these shores'
Yes, my brethren of New England, that Mayhower
was a flower of perpetual bloom tCheers.l Its
verdurc stands the sultry blasts OF summer, and the
chilling winds of autumn. II will defy all climates
and all time and il will continue to expand it's pc
tails to the world, and exbale ever living odor
and fragrance to the --latest syllable of recorded
time"
Such passages as these-in which Mr., WEB
srER's speeches abound-wilI never die. They
are true and beautiful for all time. They will
sink into the heart, be cherished in the memory
and repeated by the lip, when other words fail
to give adequate expression to the promprngs
OF patriotism.
