ENGLAND LOOKING TO AMRRIcA.-Mr Disraeli, In
a recent address on the hustings, limited as fol-
lows at the possible friendship and aid OF the n-
ted States, should England ever need their aid:
Gentlemen, We hear q great deal Of the balance
of power, of the Importance OF sustaining certain
barriers in Europe, and many other axioms. all OF
which TO q certain degree are true, and which may
for a certain time continue to prevail. But let me
t,ks this opportunity of impressing upo: yon that
the day 10 coming II it has not already come, when
the question OF the balance Of power cannot be con.
fined to Europe alone. Since the time when that
doctrine obtained great communities have arisen
In another hemisphere, who will not permit the
balance of power to be limited to Europe. YOU have,
on the other side Of the Atlantic, vigorous and
powerful communities, who will no longer submit
~ your circumscribed theory of authority.
The Australian colonies, though now in their
YOUTH but -iu the youth Of giants, have already
| As it were, thrown their colossal shadow over
Europe Aud it 10 for old Europe lament that
| she 10 exhausting her energies aud her resources
1 these wars. could wish that she would rather
prepsre for that awful competition which in com
/ ~ times she must encounter. would rather see
france, and Germany, and Russia develope their
resources, improve their agriculture, increase
their population, and cultivate the arts OF iife SO
cia aud INSTEAD OF wasting their strength,
risking their stability, and sinking when the era
to which have referred arrives, by their own ex-
haus,ed position. Remember always that Eogland,
though she Is bound to Europe BY tradition, by
| Affection BY great similarity Of habits, and all
those ties which time alone can create and conses
crate, 10 not mere power of the Old World.
Her geographical position, her laws, her 1an-
guage and her religion, connect her as much with
| the New World as with the Old Aud although
she has occupied not only an eminent, but am
bold to say the most eminent position among
European nations for ages, still. If ever Europe,
by her tails into au inferior aud
exhausted state, for England there will remain an
| i'll astrous future. (Cheers) We are bound to
| the communities Of the New World, and those
great States which our own l.ntiDg and coloniz-
| ing energies have created, by ties and BY inter
| ests which will sustain our power and enable Us
to play great part 10 the times yet to como as
| we do in these days, and as We have done in the
| past. (Cheers) And therefore, now that Europe
is on the eve OF war, say that it is for Europe,
not for England, that my heart sinks.
