about visit England at this grea. gathering Of the people
Of all nations prepared find that JoHN BULL is al
most as noonal a. thoroughbred Yankee and that Of

proud Of his industry and his skill vaingIoous to his
wealth. and rather assuming to his power is also very
fond of denouncng slavery and all persons who in any
way connected with It and has sort Of traditional horror Of

SYDNEY SIXTH, and the Times and the Quarterly Revec
These latter subjects he profoundly ignorant about and

English people in general know much less the United States
than citizens the United States know about England hence
there much prejudice, and often much iberay in think

journals either through the love Of mischief
tive strive strengthen the prejudice and increase the be
ray. Hence the scuiIity Of Punch, the misrpesenta
tons Of the Quarterly Revieo and Blackoood and the vu
peraons Of clerical DISCLAIMERS and political demagogues at
Ereter Hall.
Let these things be borne in mind by eow-cizens
about to visit England for the first time. Let them be

stage home people; of people whose poets, statesmen,
and orators have for centuries taught them believe that
England without equal in all that is truly great and go
rous and who do not like to acknowledge that vigor
GUS oshoo from the parent stock is in fair way to
shadow it. The great heart Of England beats strongly, and
in harmonious accord with that of the United States Our
politicians feel that our prosperity depends upon firmly
mented union Of action in political affairs with you;
chants and commercial regard the United States the
sheet-anchor Of their successful enterprise and manuac
ures and artisans know you be their best customer En-

have done and doing in literature and the arts. They
look with respect and admiration upon country which, to
say nothing Of its statesmen has produced WARRINGTON
FRANKLIN, FULroS, SroRI, KENT, and CLAIMING;
and which boasts Of an EvERETT, BANCROFT, Pres
Colt, IRvINs, LoNsFELLow, BRYANT, and PowERs.
Let Citizens when they reach the mother country,
avoid being too thin Skinned and sensitive when they hear
remarks about the United States originating in ignorance
and uttered in prejudice against any thing American and let
them not rub the equally thinskn of John Bull too hardly,
and have fear Of the result English people and Anne
need only bear and orbear with the weaknesses and
preudces of each other to mix freely together and to make
fair allowances for the effects of difference Of position, and
long habits thinking love and toeseem each other
by knowing each other better and to feel that they really
brothers in all the great elements Of ateny but educated
in different schools. The great WoRLDs FAIR offers go

will not be neglected.
