Yesterday Hon. Reyerdy Johnson
American Minister, delivered another
speech In Sheffield. The speech was in
reply to an address presented by the
authorities of the city. Mr..
johnson said that in the discharge OF
the duties of his position he anticipate
ed no trouble so far as the preservation
of the peaceful relations between the
United States and England Yves COM
cerned, but Ethe Shigh and deserved
reputation achieved by his illustrious
predecessor, Mr.. Adams, had made it a
difficult task of fsucceeding him with
equal acceptability. The highest aim
OF his mission would be to do as well.
The speaker repeated what he said yes
.terClay that arupture,ofthef friendly re-
lations now existing between. the u. s..
and Great Britain would be impossible,
on account of the Identity of the
race, language sand aspiration: The
character of Queen Victoria forbade the
possibility ofsuch q rupture. Mr.. john
son refuted the assertion of Mr.. Roe
buck, one OF the Representatives in the
House of Commons from Sheffield, that
the people of the United States were
heterogeneous. He maintained that the
foreign emigrants who landed on Amer
lean shores all merged into one great
nation, and that nation was English,
and they did not vitiate the community
by importing vices with them.
The Times has a lengthy editorial on
the subject of Mr.. Johnson's recent
speeches at Sheffield. and comments
fayorably on his declaration regarding
the heterogeneousness OF the American
people, and thinks that the people OF
the United States are as much an En-
glish unit as the people of England,
where the Irish, Scotch, French and
German make up so large q share of
the population. Referring incidentally
to the general election soon to occur In
England, the Times says whatever may
be The result, the same reciprocity OF
feelings betweed the United States and
Great Britain is certain.to ensue.
