Crystal Palace last night, Mr.. Schenck, on
proposing the health Of President Grant
dWelt on the pride and attachment which
Americans had for their country; they were
| loyal because the constitutions and Gov
eminent are Of their own choice, and they
were loyal TO the Executive for the same
reason. He alluded to the wonderful nat
ural progress Of the United States. Both
| England and America had derived benefit
| rom the Declaration Of Independence.
| Friendly feelings are now the rule between
the people of the two countries.
Mr.. TOrrenS referred TO the late civil war,
