The Prince or Wales In New YOrk-A
Remarkable Day.
In moral significance as we'll as In the mate
rial fact, yesterday presented spectacle which
the world has seldom seen equalled, and never
surpassed.
New York, the commercial metropolis Of the
most commercial nation and powerful republic
now in existence, poured out all of its million
OF people to receive the heir of highlands crown,
who comes adorned with all the pageantry of
peace. There would be deep significance in
the simple fact itself Of this semi-royal progress
by the heir Of a friendly crown through the do
mains Of powerful republic; but this is rem
dered more impressive by the entirely sponta-
neous and hearty homage with which whole
nation of freemen receive him, and by the an
tecedens which attend the history Of the two
nations. Springing from the same loins, the
two peoples pursued for a century and half
common path of Development, the fostering
hand Of the elder protecting the early foot
steps of the younger. Then came the dark days
when fraternal war ended in political severance
Reconstructed In separate and antagonistic ma
tionalities, there remained the ties of COM
mon lineage, a common language, and common
tastes and impulses. For eighty years the paths
Of national Development of liberty commerce,
enterprise, literature and happiness have been
pursued by each in spirit of emulation and
to-day they stand before the civilized world
peers in all things, and each the admitted leader
and representative of freedom on its respective
continent.
After this not very long period, but yet
wonderful one in the results 1t has brought to
both nations, the Prince Of Wales comes as o
private gentleman to view the regions and to
know the people that were once attached to
the crown he Is destined to wear. Every
where has he been received with the cordially
due to a beloved kinsman; the delightful ties
Of consanguinity have been renewed between
us and England in his person; and New York
has to day set the seal of the true metropolis of
the New World, to the reanneaiing OF the heart
ties between ourselves and the mother country.
Yes, the mother country. And should any one
ask why the name and deeds Of George
the Third were yesterday buried in OBJ
Iivion, there to remain forever, we would
point them to the virtuous mother, the
peerless Queen, whose virtues shed a halo
round the throne Of England, and constitute the
pride and Joy Of all where highlands tongue is
spoken and England's honor loved The young
Prince who has to-day received the heartfelt
homage Of . free people, unsought and there
fore far more truthful, can take back 70 rs

Who can trace the mighty results that must
flow from this suspicious day. The re-esta-
blishment Of fraternal ties between the two ma
tons will thrill the hearts OF men In every
corner Of the earth. II will pervade the labors
Of diplomacy. the enterprises OF trade the pur-
suits OF the artisan and the sborer, the pages OF
literature and the hopes Of history, with the
confidence that henceforth the giant leaders Of
liberty In the Old World and In the New
are united In impulse and In aim
for the perpetuation of freedom and
the elevation OF man. From such con-
fderce the most beautiful results must
dow; for as long as Victoria Oils the throne, and
after her Albert Edward yields the sceptre OF
England the memories Of this day will exercise
their genial Influences over the destinies Of both
nations. Nor IL II alone here or in England
that these influences will be felt. On every
ocean and along every shore the cross Of st.
George and the Stars and Stripes will wave In
concord and harmony. Such union will re-
animate the hopes of nations everywhere, and
give an impulse to the cause Of constitutional
Law and the reign Of liberty and order through
out the earth.
Herein Lies the deep significance or the recep-
ton of the Prince Of Wales In New York res
terday. The spontaneous enthusiasm of the
people, the crush OF million Of freemen to hail
his coming, and the hearty blessings that were
showered upon bis head, must carry to bis
heart the conviction that he will bear back with
him to England the afectionate lore and the
condding hopes Of thirty millions Of kinsmeu,
TO strengthen his throne and reunite the hearts
OF both peoples.
