DIR. Channing's opinion of Gen. Scott,

In work published in Boston, some years
ago. the Rev. DIR. Charming speaks of Gen.
Scot. in the following highly complimentary
manner:
"To this distinguished man." says the Doc
tor. belongs the rare honor Of uniting with
military energy and daring. the spirit of phi
lanthropist. His exploits in the field, which
placed him in the first rank Of our soldiers,
have been obscured by the purer and more
lasting glory of paci6cator, and of friend Of
mankind. In the whole history of the inter-
course of civilized with barbarous, or half civ
ilized communities, we doubt whether bright
er page can be found, than that which records
his agency in the removal of the Cherokees.
As far as the wrongs done to this race, can be
atoned for, General Scott has made the ex-
piation. . f,a az st.sH $, as..1.
ain his recent mission to the disturbed bor-
ders Of our country, (alluding to the disturb
ance on the Canadian frontier,) has succeed
ed, not so much by policy, as by the nobleness
and generosity of his character, BIZ moral in
! tf1uences, and by ther earnest conviction by
which he has forced on all with whom he has
had to do, the obligations Of patriotism, justice
humanity and religion. Il would not be easy
to find among us man who has won a Pur-
er fame, and / am happy to offer this tribute

little, to hasten the time when Christian hu-
manity shall be accounted an essential atlrib-

that his brethern in this country have. the
same feelings about il rs he himself has.
He considers the Worlds Fair to be gigantic
swipdling affair. and says that the "Great i'm
position" at the Crystal Palace, Is one Of the
most barefaced "dodges" that have ever been
made, for the main purpose of putting Eng
lands greatness into the eyes of all the rest
of the world. and for the secondary object Of
enabling the British 70 appropriate, 4for their
own private use and emOlument.' the inYen-
tons Of all foreign countries.
But the Yankees are not such fools as to
allow. Englshmen, or any other people. to
steal their brains, by pirating all those inven-
tions, nick-nacks, notions, and other inteliectu-
al excellencies, for which our people must ev-
er stand unparalleled in the history Of the
world.
The. almost total absence Of American con-
tributionss at the Worlds Fair, may therefore,
be regarded as the natural result of that SIN
gular sagacity. for which our countrymen are
SO famous. Our people treat the English
Worlds Fair. with the contempt whichit, and
its Royal Originator, SO well deserve; but
think you viii agree with me, thatthe natives

nation, in the general result of their labor
They do not manufacture anything for the
mere purpose Of eliciting a grin from the coun-
tenance of a royal idiot, except the roIal IDIOT

There is nothing in the world that takes our
Yankees over to England but the desire 10
make something-to get puffed widely, and
aflittle expense, and thcywill make more out Of
the Worlds Fair, after all than the Individual
Englishmen.

what they think Of us.

The London Times, in speaking of the DEM
onstration made by the. United States at the
Worlds Fair, says: ssi
what idea of Jonathan is to be gathered
from his motions p And can we detect in the
offspring thelliniaments of its parents face?
England is not given to boasting staggering;
she generally undertakes her strength, studies
moderation of oflanguage about herself though
she has some excuse for being proud. Her
republican progeny are not so modest if one
may Judge from the wings of that very ag-
gressive American eagle with which the east
ern end of the nave is decorated The king
of birds is lowering over set of notions
spread out very sparcely beneath him; and
the visitor is somewhat astonished to find him
making SO vast demonstration over a space
SO unoccupied. The American department is
the prairie ground of the Exhibition, and our
cousins smart as they are. have failed1to fill
it They cannot yet keep pace with the great
strides of European industries, and even the
seven-leagued boots, if they had them, would
not enable them to do 50, for some generations
to come. They are grosOing, however, and
sOi2 be a great community By and By. Let
them, therefore, aaOdit the future aUith patience
aud knnrility. What are the signs of their
prospective greatness to be caught in the Ex-
hibition? We seeit in their adoption of the
mechanical tendencies and utilitarian standard
of the mother country--we see it in the VaFi-
ed energy which sends to the Worlds Fair
many different kinds of fmanufactures-we can
trace il in their machines and implements, in
their false teeth and wigs, and their pianos,
and in their revolyers--in their maps for
school use, and in their specimens of book
binding-in their 'trotting sulkies,' slide top
buggies,'s sleighs, and canoes What they
show is intended for use, and made to find a
ready sale. They do not attempt elaborate
ornament and if they did they would fall a.
mid the compel ition around them; but they
follow securely in the steps of Great Britain
along those humber and less pretentious paths
of industry by which alone great and COM
lprehensive system of national manufactures
can in time, and with prudence and energy,
be formed o.ssa stu Desc ~
The editor of the Republic, in commenting
on the above, very properly makes the follow
ing observation. ss,o- ss,s.s.l z.les
we dare say that the specimens of Ameri-
can manufactures looked sufficiently insigni6-
cant alongside the results which century
and half Of protection have produced in
Great Britain. Strange enough it would be
if it were otherwise. Whether under the be-
Inignant influences of free trade we are to
await for some generations and with pa
tienee and humility the future which the
Times deems possible; or reach it by some
reader process through the same path by
which Great Britain has reached 1.-THE only
path that leads to twill depend upon wheth-
er We shall consult British practice or British
theory, whether we shall take the advice Of
England or follow her example, b..
