Patriotism Run Riot.
From the Southern Messenger.

From the Southern Messenger.
In a lecture delivered at Beethoven
Hall in this city last Saturday, the
gallant Captain Hobson, of "Merri-
mac" fame, indulged in much indis-
criminate glorificatiOu Of America
and the Americans. AS a nation, we
have a pretty high conceit of our
selves, but the most rabid ratriot
must blush to be told to his face
that "Americans arc physically su-
perior to any other people," that
their intellectual and physical vigor
far exceeds that of other nations, {"
that 1--WE are the only nation Of
idealists In the world" etc. etc.-Ws
quote verbatim from The published
|rspost oe Captain Hobsoos lecture.
Such niRhts Of DE imaeiostion are
usually reserved for fourth Of july
Orations, and are barely excu sable
even tneo, but on the lecture platform
they are iu bad taste, and their lack
Of accuracy is more painfully notice
able.
The lecturer goes on to tell US of
"our sacred duty" to carry the Mou-
roe Doctrine across the Pacific, tn
control the political destinies of other
people without their consent, to have
"the leading voice in the great con-
cert of nati0us, i'm short, to regu-
late the affairs Of the world in general.
with a great big navy to support our
pretensions.
Our admiration for Captain H.,b-
sons brilliant record as a naval
officer should not blind Us TO the fact
that talk like this IS exceedingly
mischievOus in its tendency. 1t is
calculated not only to disturb inter
national comfy, but to encourage,
especially among tue young and
thoughtless, very wrong notions of
national honor and very dangerous
views Of national duty. We are all
proud Of Americas high and honOrs-
bic position among the nations, and
We should all be sorry to see her
stoop to the level OF the braggart and
the bully.
1t is neither necessary nor Wis to
swell our national cOnceit by self
gloriication at the expense Of othere.
1t would h tier brc0me US to cultivate
\ little of that motlesty which is
supposed to ap;'ertain to true worth.
Let US, by all means, have q navy
amply sufficient TO guard our coasts
aud protect our commerce.; but let Us
also have less talk of "manifest des-
Tiny" and more consideration FOL
justice aud righteousness; less vain
glory and great deal more Of that
fear of God which is the beginning Of
wisdom.
