Virginia is now about on line with South Caro-

to those whose notions may have become warped by

chance of the earth being struck by comet, of

From Galignani's Messenger
II he French Press the Relations Between the U.
States and England.
The happy tendency of England and the United
States to draw close the alliance of blood, political
sympathies, and material interests which unite the
two countries-a tendency which has found ad-
mirable exl onent in Lord Napier-encouners any
thing out satisfaction on the continent of Europe
This feeling is perhaps natural, for whereas chron
in the end lead to a senseless war; in which the
thine interests of the continent would obtain unhoped
for development, firm and sincere alliance of Ang-
10 Saxon blood would, on the contrary, conduce to
that predominance on which the British minister d.
lated with force and eloQuence. The Constitutional
follows the example of its contemporaries and COM
ments the speech of Lord Napier in the following
unfriendly terms
"We return TO the speech, no, because the hon
orabe diplomatist has attributed, faCon, the

Anglo Saxon race-these ideas ale expressed inter
pocula,' and have no Importance, for none of the
European races Will ever possess supreme DONNA
ton 10 the detriment and for the oppression of the
remainder-'ut because of The outb1rst of cordially
and affection for the United States which fills his
address. Hitherto the world has it appears been in
concerning the reciprocal sentiments of the i've
nations. Since the war of independence, John Bull
and Brother Jonathan have been considered if not al
enemies, at least as very unriendly brothers. They
have not ceased to give proofs of antagonism in poll
tics and Jonathan, who is the turbulent doubt
less because be is younger, has never let oppor
tunity pass by without defying his elder brother
t playing tricks with him, and laughing at him into
the bargain. John Bull has displayed remarkable
patience but never has he hitherto replied 10 aggres
sions and challenges by compliments and smiles"
The Constitutional, after describing The difficulty
Q between New Granada and the United States
b which has been explained with greater brevity anc
clearness in the House of Commons thus continues
- " Frankly speaking, we GO not understand the
enthusiasm of Lord Napier. In recalling to ou
memory the principal object which inspired the re
1t cent political questions that have existed between thu
n United States and England, we observe that the,
have all been regulated in manner unfavorable t.
