III an address lately delivered somewhere at the
North thc Hon Caleb Cushing ths charactcrizcs his
fellow New Enganlers. and doe- ii with exceeding
good grace We compare it with what was said in 1893:
4 lon clearly perceived. ana frankly, earnestly,
powerfully contributed with Virginia to develop the
great territorial capacities Of the Northwest But
were you equally cltarsigtcd in regard TO the not
less Important! Southwest Did you in will support
Virginia there: Did yon not struggle to prevent the
acquisition Of Louisiana the acquisition Of Florida,
the acquisition Of Texas. the acquisition Of Cofor-
mia? Was not the Union, our fathers conceived it,
thus completed in spite Of you? And vet. who prof
ited first. who proiitcd next, who protcd constantly
by each Of these great stages of the great cvent?"
IN 1899 one Ned Ward Published in England an ey-
Icrcdincy spicy and attractive account Of . visit he
paid 70 Boston in that year. We only give few
extracts, but they suggest how little century or
two can effect in changing national characteristics.
