NEW ASPECTS
OF THE AMERICAN MIND.

We have gone through so many Iabors,
agitatiOns, aud changes during the last
seven years, that it has been impossible
for US either to see them all in their histO-
rical compass and unity, or to note their
practical bearing upon the mind and habit
of the nation. We know pretty well,
indeed, the history and issue of the con-
nict of opinion. The adjournment of the
Thirty-nlnth and the organization of the
Fortieth Congress are facts that have no
uncertain sound. This March 4, 1867,
tells a very different story from the March
4, 1860, Ven Buchanan and Breckin-
ridge Wera'n power, and the dominant
Democratic party had fixed their National
Convention at Char lesion for April %,
and there hoped in some way to keep in
with the slave lords of the Southern
States, even at some cost of ~sycophancy.
The mereSt glance at the Message which
Mr.. Buchanan sent to Congress on the
opening Of the December Session in 1860
tells the story Of the marvellous revolu-
ton in public opinion. With all his
tlmldlty he did not anticipate the great
%cOnvulsion that was at hand after the
election Of Abraham Lincoln in November.
Well aware of the threatened secession,
he thought, apparently, to disarm it of it's
power by denying the right of Congress
to coerce a seeding State !; and by urg-
ing upon the Free States strong measures
of Cancellation toward the slave power
such as the legal recognition of slavery
where it exists, the protection of the
alleged right of masters to hold their
slaves within the Territories, and fail
liberty to reclaim their slaves when they
escape into the Free States. He certain
Iy held very mild views of the temper of
the people when he wrote: "The Slave
ny question, like every thing human, will
have It's day. [ firmly believe that it
has already reached and passed the Gull
minating point" Such words read very
strangely now, after the passage of the
Military Bill for securing order through
out the seeded States, and making negro
suffrage an essential of their reconstruc-
ton within the Union. No less start
ling is the recommendation of the lead
ing organs of the old Democratic party
to the South to accept the proffered terms,
and to return to the Union by help of the

masters.
Sometimes little things show how the
wind blows quite us we'll as great clouds;
and | CHANGED on Monday, March 4, to
note a sign Of the times quite as m
able as the acts of Congress. Visiting a
friend who is largely in an important
branch Of Southern trade, he pointed out
some snowy yet really very pretty goods
that were intended for sale among the
freedmen and their families. There was
a lot of spring hats very much such as
our ladies so iauntily and wltchingly
wear, yet somewhat more demonstratlye
and ornate. Taking up a very snowy yet
not offensive specimen he said "Ihere,
that will be sure TO go upon the head or
some freedman's wife or daughter, and
our customers assure us that their trade is
becoming now a leading feature of the
Southern market" That little fact speaks
volumes. On one side of the street those
cases of dashing little hats for
and girls who were so lately mere chat
tells, and shut out from those fashions
which stir so much ambition and so much
social feeling, while they may also move
no little vanity or pride; and on the
other side of the street speIIlng-boOkS
piled up in hundreds Of thousands wait
ing conveyance to the schools and huts Of
those same freedmen, and destined to
open to them the alphabet of literature,
as the arts Of dress open the alphabet of
society. With new wants come new
powers, and the millions who now are
rising to the trials and blessings of free
dom are illustrating the new aspect of
the American mind.
We must not, however, look wholly
or chiefly to the emanclpated race TO
illustrate the new evolution OF character
in America. The whole nation has been
nightly schooled and trained; and we
have hardly begun to appreciate the re-
suits of the process. Consider some of
the features Of our America in 1860, and
see what has been going on from that
time TO the present. The land itself was
then as large as now, aud during all our
struggles and triumphs no new domain
has been acquired or sought, and our
flag floats as then over our whole cOun-
try from Maine to Texas, from New York
to California. We form a more distinct
idea of what transformations we have
passed through, and are still passing
through, by noting the main facts of our
position in 1860 from The census which
was so tardiIy published as still to be a
sealed book to most persons. Our pop
~uIation then numbered 31,443,3 OF
these 81 ,489, SCI being free, and 1888, 76O
being slaves. OfthiS population 4,136,175
were foreign born, or 10 IS 100 per cent.
of the whole, leaving Sc SIS 100 per cent.
TO our native people. OF the foreign
born 1911 BOA or 5 12lI0O Of the whole
population were Irish, 1901 1876 or
4 l4I1OO of the whole were German,
431,692 or 1 37I100 per cent. were Eng
lish, while the French numbered 109,87O,
the Scotch 1OS,516, the Swiss 53,327, and
the Norwegian 1895. The census gave
us infinitely the record of the unfortunate
by birth or disaster, and numbered 1881
deaf and dumb, 1868 blind, 23,046 in
sane, and 1890 idlotic, making 68,455 OF
these u~nfortunates in all.
We get a more satisfactory idea OF
what these people were doing, and how
