American Sentiment towards England and
France.
Among the most strange and unexpected
changes from enmity to friendship ever exhibited by
two nations is, that which has, of late years. come
over the hostile spirits of England and France.
aud converted these mortal foes, outwardly at
least, into brethren and allies. Another, and
equally striking revolution of sentiment is mani
Testing itself in the increasing GOODNESS of Ameri.
ca towards its ancient ally, France, and the in.
creasing esteem which, in spite of difficulties
threatening war, is manifested towards England.
The following extract from a late speech of Gov.
Wise is a faithful representa- ton of the feelings
entertained in the South, at any rate, towards an
empire which Americans once considered it part
of their religion almost to hate:
Nothing could be more disastrous to our whole
country and especially to Southern section of it,
than a war with England at this crisis He (Mr.
Wisel did not fear FL. land. If we are to have

Undoubtedly, most OF the antl-Engllsh prejudices
of this country are traceable to the iil-natured
books written by spitefaI tourists, and to cockney
emigrants to the U. States, whose vulgar self
conceit and superciliousness have naturally dis
gusted every body with their country, who did not

tives of the intelligence and morals of the South
ern States We trust, in spite of the war clouds
lingering upon the horizon, that better era is
dawning in which both countries will be united by
affection as well as interest.
In regard to France, it must be acknowledged
that the unfriendly and arrogant demeanor of her
public officials to our countrymen, and the prepos.
ferrous conduct of her Minister in Washington
have thrown cold water ON the enthusiasm which
the name of that gallant nation once inspired in
American hearts. The evident desire of the
French government to embroil us in war with
England for its own selfish aggrandizement is
well understood in the United States France
