While the company. was seated Lord
Stanley took OCCASION to express himself
as peFfectly}in accordance with Burlin-
games sentiment relative to China. 1t was
true. he said,a certain degree of opposition,
originating in ignorance of the real object
ct the Chinese mission, coupled with a, de-
sire to adhere to the old traditional. CO.
ercive policy, met Mr.. Burlingame on arri-
val in England, but this had all passed
away, Mr.. Burlingame, by his dignified
course and feeling the grandeur and inn
portance of the trust confided to him,
had conducted himself in such manner as to
disarm the opposition, and create not only
favorable impression for China, but for the
United States; for while acting as the rep
resentative for the Emperor of China, his
dignitied bearing and progressive ideas ex-
hibited him as true type of the represen-
tative American. T..
sing a belief that the cordial principles
which are fast influencing the nations of
the world have changed foes to friends.
