erosity and Justicc OF tho Peoples.
The victory obtained by the crew OF tho
Cambridge University boatmen over the Ok
onians on the Thames last Wednesday affords
great satisfaction to the people of England.
Our cable synopsis of the expression of the
London journals yesterday morning, published
In our news columns to-day, goes to show that
the British public is 'gratited' at the fact that
the perseverance and pluck" Of the Cantabs
gave them the wreath Of triumph; that the peo-
pic had ''wearied of the monotony" of Oxford's
success every year for ten years, and that tho
public satisfaction" at its present reversal ''is
genuine and unbounded." The existence of
this condition and state of feeling among
the English masses Is both national
and natural. John Bull, proper and per Sc, as
nationalist, away from or relieved Of aristo-
cratic direction and influences, Is lover of
rplay and generous withaL. He has traversed
over India, oppressed Ireland and run the
United States blockade Of tho Southern coast
Of America 10 the interest, and for the most
part under the inspiration, Of the members
of the feudal class in their respective capa-
cities Of diplomats, army commanders or land
lords; yet notwithstanding all this he could
and now can sympathizc with and relieve
either an Asiatio or a Celt when engaged in
the worlds life struggle, and we see at the
present day, particularly from the special Lon
don correspondence of the HERALD published
lately, that he himself Is advancing his
system of government towards that OF a
complete radical democracy just as rapidly as
he can do within the sanction Of Parliament
and under the rule of the constitution. The
love of fair play between man and man is nat
ural to mankind; it is humanity, and consc-
quently worldwide. The peoples, whether
they be Saxon or Celtic, Asiatic or African,
love it. Every man in his turn, and fair play
all round. Sambo and POmpey, two West
India negroes, found bottle of brandy on the
shore of the island of Jamaica. Sambo broke

said, ''Ssm. let me say too streag. too. "
Pompey thus expressed the great principle OF
the Jat j,sstitia just Us it was implanted ia his
heart by the Creator. The same unalterahle
law of impulse moves the Britons proper to
! rejoice with the Cambridge men in the fact Of
their being able to say ''too tong too."
Notwithstanding the fact that the Oxfords
beat our Harvards and have enjoyed q
triumph over the Cambridge boys during so
many years the turn of the Cambridge men
has now come. We are glad Of it for many
reasons. The Harvard men can now look out
for the triumphant Cantabs and invite them to
friendly contest. A race between the men
Of the two colleges, American and English,
under present circumstances would constitute
quite an exciting international event. Lot the
Cantabs come over. If the Harvards can beat
the Cambridge men now they can, consistently
with the rule of square, claim to have beaten
the Oxtords for almost ten years.
