BOsToS, June 17-At the Banquet to Mr. |
Thornton, the British Minister in response
10 toast to the health of Her Majesty Queen
Victoria, he spoke of the musical event of
the day as a wonderful performance, and |
said that his sovereign appreciated its object;
ard he more than appreciated the return of |
peace to his country. Some people in Eng
uEiOn OF the States would be advantageous to |
England. But he was proud to say that the /
men of his native country who were imbued /
with the principles OF honor did not think |
So. n or were they in sympathy with any such /
ideas. A good mother could have no desire |
to see quarres among her children, but /
woEld rather be sOlicitus to have them all |
friend with her-brothers and sisters-con-
to the common good, and living in 1
cesam ON harmony. Some thought there
coaid be no friendship founded on sentiment
between England and the United States
but such Was not his opinion. Such friend
ship was necessary in order that the world
should see the value and the advantages of
those liberal Institutions which were the com
mon pride of both England and the United
States, they having been established here by
The mother country, and extended far be-
yond her expeditions. The interest OF Ell
her country ought to be sufficient in itself
70 make and keep enduring friendship that
s to mutual advantage. Trade and COM
neree demanded such friendly relation.
The common stock and common interest
we're improved through it. England must
profit by the union which is the cause of the
of this country S1tsa
