and yet so bitterly decry the foreigners , Know the bangs of a fervent heart that has to repeat Patraa ca'u, carsor Hbertas, and when il must act on 1t; but when man is forced to act on It, he cllngs to the country of his choice, even as a man cleveS to his chosen wife faster than to his kin
 Has any mind shed greter lustre on illustrous Athens than Aristotle? Aristotle was a foreigner, and came to Attica when seventeen years old. Has there been any Spaniard more Spanish than Columbus? Columbus was a Genoese. Has there been a Frenchman more French than Napoleon, and Cuvier, and Con- stant! Napoleon was an Italian; Cuvier, by birth and education, German; Constant a SWISS Who carried the Netherlanders through the dlrest war of independence on record, and who founded the great republic of the Neither flanders! William of Orange, German.
 Has England ever had more English king than William the third, the Netherlander? His Uermany ever had a more German leader than Eugene of Savoy? Who was Catharine, of Russia, that made her the great power? She was German woman. Has Oxford ever had greater professor than Rasmus, of Rotterdam? The very country in which the know nothing reVlles the foreigner,' was discovered by Ca pot, GenOeSe in the service of England.
 The protomartyrof the American Revelation was Montgomery, an Irishman; so was Barry, called the father of the American navy; and Paul Jones' the bold and early captain, was a Scott Were De Kalb Lafayette, Hamilton, Gallitin, no Americans? Mark the list of sign CTS, and see how many were foreigners. The hue and cry against foreigners belongs to Pa gan antiquity, when one word served for for elgner and enemy; but not to Christianity, one of whose earliest writers goriously said: ''nos- trn cay1tas totas naunllas." The very word Chris tlanlty rebukeS know nothingism.
 The term free trade has far wider meaning than merely economical one! Itapplies to all merit, truth, intellect. Letevery one stand and fall by his own individuality, and take the best of everything where you find it best. So did your forefathers; so your Gospel demands it. When Sir Harry Saville founded, in 1919, his Savillian professorship at Oxford, he prescrib- ed that the best man that could be gotten, no matter from whence, should always be taken, so that he was man of "good fame and honest repute, exquacanqe nationis orbis christiana eujuscunque ordinis sive professionals" And this ought to be the rule in all spheres, but most especially so in our own land.

English Rejoicings.

Our British cousins claim to be models of civilization, enlightenment, and liberty. They are accustomed to speak of the rest of the world as semi barbarians. Especially do they lavlsh their contempt and pity on the benight- ed Russians, who are threatning to overrun Europe with their savage hordes. Now, in many respects, we concede the justice of this pretension of John Bull; but we confess that he IS constantly giving indications, which are calculated to raise great doubts, whether he is not behind all other civilized nations, in sense of propriety, and in the retnements of civiliza- ton. The recent eXamplfications of these sad oelects Ill the Saxon character were very otfen- slvely given in the public rejoicing over the death of the great Czar Nicholas. Kossuth, in recent letter to the New York Times, thus de- scrlbes and denounces these disgraceful mani testatons:
 You know the great news of Europe. The Czar Nicholas is dead La Cgar est mort. yire le Czar. That's the history. He died March I'd; the same evening his death was known at London, announced in Parliament, and--in the theatres. The rich people of London were en- Joyins the performance of the fashionable LetolIe du Nord and just in the midst of the scene when Czar, Peter the Great, presents him. self dead drunk, the manager comes forward and considers 1t his < agreeable duty to inform the ladies and gentlemen that the death of his Imperial majesty, Czar Nicholas has been just officially announced in Parliament" Upon this tremendous cheering and hurrahing and clap ping of hands. and waving of handkerchiefs, and singing "God save the Queen," and "Payt- ant pour la Sy,Je," etc.
 A strange sight forsooth! We, on our side. when after a hot day of battle, bravelv contest ed and dearly won, we found the cory corpse of distinguished enemy on the battlefield, mount ed though our blood had been bv the battles rage and by the joy of victory, we carried him to hls grave with all the honors we could bestow: and our stern warriors, who, moment before faced all the horrors of death with smile of contempt on their heroic brow, marched with eyes downcast in meditation, and with solemn silence, near the bier of the fallen foe.
 And here we see a community, one of the pretended standard bearers of Christian civiliza- ton carried away with baccahantc gambols and pranks, by joy at the tidings of the death of man, who, had he but died a year ago, before England was yet drifted to war, would have put the Court of England and all fashionable circles i'll mourning for forty days in spite of all the mlsdeeds and crimes of his former career.

COMMODORE NEwroN.--The fact that this gal lant officer has been detached from the com mand fthc Home Squadron, has been chron- icled in the Picayune The Norfolk Herald of Friday last, has the following on the sub- ject:
 Con- Newton having commanded the Home squadron for two years and ten months. it has not been deemed necessary to fit out another flag ship for him for 50 short time as he has still to serve. He has, therefore been detached from the command and has hauled down his broal penllant from the Columbia
 In thus detaching the Commodore and the officers, the houorably secretary of the navy compliments them in the following terms:
 cannot allow this occasion to pass sir, without expressing to you, and through you to the ofhcers under your command my favora- ble opinion of the efficiency with which your aud their duties have ever been perform ed"

WHEAT IN THE NoRTHwEsT.-The Chicago Press, of the 3Oth ult., says

Press, of the 3Oth ult., says:
 A III the accounts we have received represent the wheat fields throughout the northwest in very promising condition. Nothing has yet been said of the plant being winter killed in any quarter, though that point cannot yet be posi- uVely determined. The cold has been very sever and long continued, but if there should be no alteration of freezing or thawing after the ground Is once free from frost, the chances are that the wheat will not have suffered.
