ON TO make any comments"
My answer to these remarks are. that the
causes that led to these wars, would not exist
In an Anglo Saxon Confederacy. Therefore
tney would not occur. The wars of the Reses
Mere ,s as TO which King should reign. Henry
tne oth the Duke of York. One took q white
rose for its signal, the other a red rose. THE
Anglo Saxon Race does not fight for dynasties.
Ihese wars were over 400 years ago. The war
OF lo41 was war Of principle. King Charles
the 1st tried to lay taxes without the consent
OF the parliament, the representatives Of the
people. The war Of 1880 was partly a religious
war, between Catholics, and Protestants, and
The war Of our Revolution, was for the ANGIE
saxon principle that taxation should not exist
without representation. Itwas similar In prin-
ciple to that Of 164l only that instead of oppos-
tion 10 the King laying taxes without the con.
sent OF the Parliament; it was against the par
i.amehs laying taxes upon the branch of the
Anglo Saxon family OH this continent. The
parliament Of The United Kingdom, was elected
solely by the citizens residents there. we had
no part or lot in choosing the members, there
lore we contended they had no right to tax us.

In proportion to our numbers, there would have
been no opposition to these taxes, and therefore
no separation Of our race. Conseouentlv az
tne Anglo Saxon Confederation would be found

wars OF principle, mentioned above, we're lust,
ana the injustice that caused them would moi
exist In The Confederacy. The cause ceasing

being no necessity for war, it would not be

cd the principle which we advanced TO the
Worid, when Wo took up arms, and dissolved the

nations of the world protesting Justice, and
committing the worst of injustice, living upon
tne compulsory products of unrequited toll -
having now no slaves, we would not be in
danger OF war from that cause. Unity on the
principle OF justice, always stops war between
.hs parts OF the race united. The unity of the
divided stopped the war between them, The
unity OF England and Wales stopped wars be-
tween Them. SO did the unity of England and
scotland, and when the Anglo Saxon race are
united, tho last battle will have been fought
between them.

me from answering the other portions OF this

therefore only speaks of them briefly. l ac-
knowledge that the education of tho child
should in great measure rest with the parent

neither the ability, mentally or pecuniarily, to
teach the child himself, nor has he always the

see that it capacities are developed, and that its
rising generation should know the difference
between right and wrong.

there would be no duties on articles we shipped

"THE JEALoUsIEs OF THE DIFFERENT
PEOPLE"
do not see why there should be more jeal-
ousy between us and the old mother land than
between any two Of our States We all get
along well enough together. None of The
free States think Of fighting each other.-
New York, some assert, Is jealous of Philadel-
phia; and Philadelphia, others say, is jealous
OF New York but they are cities, not States.
But If trade Is dull In PHILADELPHIA and brisk in
New York, the Philadelphian leaves his own
city and takes up his residence in the latter,
and engages in mercantile, mechanical, profess
sional, or any ether business that suits him.
The New Yorker never dreams that his being q
Philadelphian Is any objection either to business
or friendly intercourse, and therefore buys of or
sells to him, employs him, or is employed by
him, or rents or sells him a residence or place Of
business as quick as New Yorker; and as it
is with the New Yorker, SO it is with the Phil
adelphan. He would welcome the New York

TO reside or do business in his city. Then, when
misfortune occurs, each city or State assists the
neighborhood where the trouble happeped.-
The mother islands subscribed more n,onev to
assist Chicago in her calamity than any one OF
our States-more even than the great State of
New York. If the other half of tho race were
united to us, this brotherly feeling would be in
creased, and there would be no more jealousy be-
tween us and them, than there is between our
selves now.
OUR SIMILARITY TO EACH OTHER.
Again the learned writer says "We speak
English, 1t is true, but We are a people of diff
ferent race and blood from the Engiishman."
Here he is undoubtedly mistaken. Never
