A Lesson from Abroad.

The London Times, in an article on the diff
ferences between President johnson and the
radical leaders in this country, makes some re-
hections and suggestions which spite of what
may be the natural prejudice here against the
source frem whence they come, oar people
cannot very well afford to see disregarded. In
TACT, they constitute a wholesome and valua-
BILE admonition, which none but the most reck-
less and bigoted will fail to appreciate The
Times says that if the Americans would but
look steadily into the mirror of British history,
they might discover much to instruct them
in the present conjuncture of their affairs In
that old country they have passed through
Just such crisis as that 10 which we in this
country have now been brought They took
their course, and they paid heavy penalty
for the mistake; and they see exactly what
America is about. 1t is Ireland over agaiu.
The Times adds
eve had reason at the time, and as things
went, for all our penal legislation; it was only
in later days that we discovered the error of
our policy We found that exclusion and
prescription did not convert conquered rebels
into good subjects, but the ideas which we de-
sired to efface rather grew and throve under
persecution. We completed and intensified
the very alienation of which we complained
We found ourselves with source of political
danger where there should have been a source
of political strength, and were compelled to
witness the difficulty one portion of the en-
pire recognized with eagerness as the oppor-
tunity' of the other.
1.-The condition of Ireland was always
thrown in our teeth as the insurmountable
reproach of our legislation, our constitution,
and our government. Even when we had
done our best to redress the error, we could
not escape its consequences. Disaffection and
hostility still fingered after their causes had
been removed, and at length, years after a
policy of liberaity and Cancellation had been
naugurated, we have the Fenan conspiracy
to remind us of bygone blunders.
.''The Americans may well take lesson
from all this. They have not as much justif-
cation for error as we had, for they live in
more enlightened times Granted that the
Southern people are but half reconciled to
their defeat, how is the desired Cancellation to
be more completely accomplished
''Do the radicals really believe that their
countrymen, whom they now distrust as pro-
