TIE FUTURE.
1t has pleased Lord Broughsm-who is not,
think, any longer responsible for what he says
to say that the American people are a mob. Let
it be ours TO show that an American mob is more
decent than a British aristocracy. We are
proud Of common schools; we are proud Of the
citizens they make. Let il not be pride aud mere
vanity on our part, hut in all the attributes of
fidelity TO our conviction at home, patience with
our enemies abroad, let Us show 10 the world one
more thing; that while, with free institutions, a
self governing people can acquire wealth from
the bosom OF the earth, as no other ever did, and
while they can maintain a government more
cheaply and more fairly than any other-while
they have power 20 put down foreign enemies
and subdue the most terrific intestine foes that
ever afflicted and tormented people-while we
are exhibiting that let us also show to the world
that under crowns nor cOrnets nor under any
educated influence, is there another class Of peO
pie on the globe that are 50 temperate, so selfre
strainng, so just and so generous in their sent
ments toward foreign people az the great mass OF
the common citizens of America. The day is
coming when nations are to feel each others
hearts more nearly-When more and more themes
for national discussions are TO be those that turn
=pOn the moral sentiments-thOse that are al
lied to common ideas and common feelings-for
we need 20 other. We do sot need Great Brit
ain for any material reasons. For moral reasons
We need her And | say more than that-for
moral reasons she needs US For the sake OF
man, aud for the cause OF God, for the hope of civ
ixatlon, these two nations OF the earth, carrying
a civilization which is derived from and which
carries with it the common people, and they are
uplifted in civilization-these two great PrOtes-
tant Christian nations all forbid that we should
ever cross hands in strife and struggle. But
while other nations are beginning, though with
slow steps to look at the rising sun, while even
in Russia her frosts begin to glitter in that light
that ere long shall melt them, let not these fore
most Of nations that have stood in witness for
liberty, and all other blessings OF free govern
ment, fall out on the way but shoulder TO shOul-
der, heart TO heart, bearing and iorbeasing with
each other, loving, or hoping to love BY aud by,
let them stand together 70 bear out TO every part
Of the earth the influence OF Christian civilization
and human liberty. (Great and long continued
applause }
