The London Times has an editorial on
Senator Stewards late speech on the slavery
question. 1t treats the speech as the pro-
gramme of the Republican Party, and sees
IN 1t evidences of the dawning of more
friendly feeling between the Northern and
Southern States. It thinks that under the
organization of the Republicans, and with
the moderate programme sketched by Mr..
Seward, the North may be able, without
plotting or buster, to roll back the tide of
the slaveholding aggression.
The London Times, speaking of the in.

1t would, however, be matter of regret
If the Prince of Wales, satisfied with the
homage of the Canadians, should neglect to

none IS likely to be so ill understood by
mere flying tourist. America is not coun.

in so many days with a Murrays Hand
Book. Its interests consists in it's people, in
the phases of civilization through which
they are passing, in the political and COM
mercial activity which they display, in their
energy and restlessness, their greatness and
their weaknesses. Although we cannot ex>
pect that youth in his nineteenth year
should be able to appreciate the American
commonwealth, yet we feel sure that

association with the people would not be

sure. The interest of Americans in the de-
scendants of the former ruler of their coun-

themselves, and whatever may have been
formerly the case, the feeling is now one of
good will and sympathy. The Prince of
Wales might find both instruction and rec
