The London Times en-, ME- Beeeher.
Rev.Heury Ward Bseeherss, address at
Fort Sumter is made the taxi Of an editor
isI article in the TTmes. The Timer thinks
that sMr. Beeeher was well chosen a. the
national orator at Fort Sumter He ia
eloquent and enthusiastic, aud he repre-
seuts, too, exactly that element in the civil
strife which has predominated aad TIL
umphed." It adds:
"But Mr.. Beecher was not content with
this triumph. As he stood on Fort Sum
ter and delivered the address which he was
commissioned u give, he expatiated with
singular ability and force upon topics far
more obscure and difficult. He wished to
show not only that Americas had been
puTged of the crime of slavery, bat that
the cure, terrible "a it was, had been
beneficial in its very procesas He ar
gued that war, war in itself, even spart
from its object or its justice was attended
with advantages and blessings of its own;
that it WAS q species of national education;
that it led a people from infancy to man
hood that it filed them with a belief in
their own convictions and q knowledge of
their own strength; that it proved their pat
fiotism and zeal. and that il left them all
the better for the ordeal. These are not
new arguments. The ennobIiDg effects of
war have often been discoursed upon BY
philosophers aud historians, and perhaps
the national character of Mr.. Beecher's
was peculiarly open to the i'm
provement which such stern teaching might
bring. That this character was actually
affected by the war as It proceeded was a
subject Of common remark, andsie Is to be
hoped that Mr. Beecher's representations
of the result may sc verified by experience
But the future ia mystery. America is
aud that is all we know. The
may be political, social and
national all at once. Mr Beecher himself
answers for the social metamorphosis, aud
already there are many symptoms of ma
tional aud constitutional transition.
= Eat present the Americans
have barely reached a census of 80 600 900
aud yet they could not live together in
unity. How will it be when these
30 ,OOO,O 900 become 50, 900, 600 or IOo,.
900 ,0OO2 Americans think the problem
easy, and the issue sure. We can but say
that there 10 no precedent for such CON
but II Mr. Beeeber's picture Of
the future be correct we have no reason to
deprecate it. The Americans have con
eeiVed their own destiny, and are working
il out in their own manner but they have
now, at least, learnt this-that Europe,
whatever may be its speeulations or sympa-
ttieS, oiH HeUer interfere or disturb MSus.
