English people, ass mass, have much more
affection for us than we have for them. They
look upon us as their brothers in blood, de.
scendants Of the same ancestors, speaking the
same tongue rnled by the same laws, and up
holding the same principles of civil and relig-
ious liberty While they have been Jealous,
they have ct the same time been proud Of us
proud Of our triumphs in the arts and sci
ences, proud Of our success in developing the
resources of our continent, proud even Of the
enterprise which made US their only rivals for
supremacy upon the seas; for, said they, it is
our race, the Auglo-Saxon, which is accom-
plshing all these wonders. Said very in
teligent young Englshman to me one day,
"If Frenchman is asked Which is the 6rst
nation on earth, he will, of course, sayFranoe,
and he will probably give England the second
place The Prussian and Austrian will claim
the first place for their respective nstious, land
say that France s second but an English.
man, after claiming that England is the great
est and best will say that America is next,
and very close behind" l
1t was very common thing indeed for
Euglishmen to say to us, "You must make
haste and settle that terrible war Of yours,
and then come and take your stand with US,
and our united influence shall rule the world.
We Are natural allies--the only free govern
ments TO speak Of on EARTH and together we
/ would be irresistible in the cause of ciyiliza-
ton and liberty A war like this you are
now wagihg, seems to US like step the world
is taking back towards barbarism, and a wpr
between England and America would be Just
as bad.
The impression created by a spiourn in
England and free interchange Of views with
the English people we met was, that they
have as yet given as no sufficient provocation
| foe the vindiotveness manifested in some
quarters, and that true patriotism prompts US
to discourage every attempt to influence the
minds of our people against them. if we will
but be as charitable TO them as they are will
ing TO he to us, there will be uninterrupted
peace between US forever-for which every
! friend ot;humanity twill ever pray" .I.,.r,,
This much concerning English sentiment
| towards America. We return now to the sto-
ry of our journey.
| One afternoon, after dining with q friend,
we went out for a walk through the parks
which were near by. When we bad fairy en-
tered the Green Park, our young friend s.,
who accompanied us, said, "The stoelis all
live around here; yOnder is Buckingham Pal
ace, where her Majesty resides; here, on this
side, the Duke of Sutherland lives; there is
Lord Ellesmeres towu house; there Lord
Spencers s; there Miss Burdett Coutts, the
