The LONDON Press ON THE PRINCES VISIT
Now that the excitement attendant upon the
Princes visit has subsidized, 1t Is very curious
study to peruse the accounts of the London
journals which sent correspondents to report
the details Of the royal visit. The free easy
and enthusiastic reception of the Prince by his
peers in the United Statee-for we are all
princes in our own right here-seems to have
bothered the English scrihes quite as much a.
the lively, teree, and at tn same time elaborate
and particular accounts which were presented
to the public by the reporters of the chief
American journals. The English Journalists, a.
Q rule, are permeated with the most profound
respect for hereditary rank, and they were terri
bly, shocked ct the irreverence Of the American
reporters, who describe things exactly as they
occur; and the difference between the
two systems Is very simple one. The Ameri-
can Journalist Is free to speak the truth with
out respect 70 persons. The British chronicler
is hampered by thousand prejudices and con-
ventionaliiies The English journalist too
often occupies the same position in the intel
lectual world that the British turnkey Oils In
the kitchen. And II Is Q singular fact that
there was Q wonderful similarity Of opinion
between the funkeys who blacked the boots,
carried the burdens and brushed the coats Of
the Prince aad his suite, and the funkeys of
thn ha
q, route for Portland, expressed their delight at
getting out Of this blasted, vulgar country"
and the sentiments Of the latter, although more
elegantly expressed, were identical with those
OF the John Thomsses.
II Ia TO be hoped that the British jour
nslist Will become emanclpsted from this ser
vile Difference TO rank. We are induced to be
lieve that such will be The case from the tone
Of some Of the London papers, such as the
Chronicle and the Telegraph, and from the fact
that many Of the most influential journals In
Eoelapd have reproduced In full the reports
of the American correspondents. As for the
Prince and his party, they we're very much de
lighted with their visit 10 the United States.
In Canada they were bored with stupid officials,
who would persist in doing the wrong thing at
the wrong time and in the wrong place;
but here things went Oh much more plea
sanity. The Prince declared on several oc-
casions, and especially at Boston, that it
without his nurses,'' and so We may expect to
see him again when he has attained his ma
jority, and lie free TO select his own travelling
companions. And, from certain indications, 1t
is not impossible that the Prince Of Wales may
choose wife from some Of the American prin-
cesees, to wbosc Vaccinations he has not been
insensible. Some Of the proudest Of British
peers have been glad to place corones upon
the brows Of American bellies, who excel the
English women In grace, esprit and beauty. So
let all the young ladies keep sharp lookout
for the next visit to America Of his Royal
Hiehuess the Prince Of Wales.
THE REPUBLICAN PRESS on THE CosDrr1os
OF THE SourH-The republican papers ap
pear greatly astonished and alarmed at
the condition Of affairs In the South,
and they are innocently declaring that
the republican party have no intention Ia
the world-never had any intention-o OF making
an attack upon the institution Of Southern
slavery. They lay the blame Of the terrible
state Of the Southern States 1t the present time
upon the conservative papers Of New York and
the North generally. Can anything be more
absurd than this! Everybody knows that for
the last twenty I've years there has been VIC
lent anti slavery agitation going on In the North
ern States, breathing the most threatening and
exasperating language towards the South and
its institutions. From the North John Brown
was sent to Kansas, with money and arms, to
wage war against slavery; and from Kansas he
was sent to Virginia, where be spread treason
and death among ih peaceful citizens Helpers
book was extensively circulated, and was re
commended BY Mr.. Seward, Governor Morgan,
Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Bryant, Thurlow Weed and
other republican leaders, as well a. BY sixty
six republican members Of Congress. And
what did Helpers book, thus recommended and
endorsed, inculcate, The cutting Of white
mems throae In the South BY their slaves.
Then take Mr.. Stewards recent campaign
speeches from Massachusetts, to Kansas, In
which be preached q merciless crusade against
the South-an "irrepressible conflict between
the slave States and the free-declaring that
Lincolns election was to be the downfall Of
slavery. Take, again, Lincoln's own repeated
declarations, that the mission Of the republican
party was only beginning; that Its fulalment
was to be the total destruction Of slavery
Can the South be blamed for feeling
