GUS to England; but he was proud to say that
men OF his native country, imbued with prncl
PIES Of honor, lid not think so at all, nor were

| ment auarrcs among her children; she would
rather be solictous to have them all friends
| with her-brotber- and sisters contributing to
| tho common good anl living in common mar
mony. Some thought there could by DO friend
| ship founded Oh sentiment between England
| and the L. s., but such was not his opinion.
| Such friendship was necessary in order that
| the world should see the value and advantage
OF liberal institutions which were the common
pride OF both England and the United States
they being established here by the mother
country, and expanded far beyond her cxpecta-
| tons. The interest OF either country ought to
be sufficient 10 itself to make and keep an en-
durins friendship between them. The mutual
advantages Of trade aud commerce demanded
| such friendly relation. The common stock AMI
conimon interests were improved through IT.
England might profit by the union, peaco, and
prosperity in this country.
