A Just Compliment.

The Liverpool Times with less pretensions
than its London sake, appears to unders
stand American politics and American character
much better. Commenting on our late Presi-
dental election, it remarks:
It's amazing how soon party spirit, carried
to the verge of excess, subsidies in the United
States when the will of the sovereign people
becomes known. The minority bow with in
~stinctive respect to that numerical preponder-
ance which it is the genius of the American
constitution to represent. However fierce the
struggle, however sGperhuman the efforts
which have been made 10 secure victory, the
belligerents, when the battle is over, lay down
their arms without FORGETTING each others res
pect.
1t requires a long course of educational
training in practical freedom to attain this cons
troll, but it is possessed by the Americans to
an extent unknown in any other country
where free institutions exist; and the solution
of the enigma must be looked for in the fact
that every man feels himself an atom in the
great total-the equal of the foremost in the
land, and the seIf-respect so generated pays to
the state the homage Of an ungrudging sub
mission. Men deserve to be free who can
make such sacrifices for individual opinion,
and yet yield with patriotic philosophy to the
course of events which they cannot control
The Union stands in little danger of disrup.
ton while the noble sentiment animates the
breasts of Americans.
