198 recolvgirrias kir•-• GENESEE EVANGEtISt. THURSDAY,' AUGUST 14 , 1862 JOHN W. MEARS, ENGLAND AND AMERIOA. UNQUNSTIoNABLY the prevailing tone of the Ameriban mind towards England, tnow is anima. ity. Heretofore, whilst thew has been a strong party with whom enmity , to England was chronic and unreasoning, there ' has also been a strong party cherishing a w . aria friendship for the " old country!' This fiiendly'party embraced a large, and the most intelligent portion of the Christians of the Northern Mates, together with the greater part of , our halm of cultufe, reading and travel. But this state of feeling no longer exists. It is nolonger the detncteraticinheriters ofjefferson's "Anglofobia," who monopolize enmity against Britain. Those who have be*in heY Vann friends are so no longer. Those whq have sympathized with her in her conflicts, and stood, ready to aid her, if needful.* fut Are struggles, now set their teeth firmly and only tarry for an opportunity to give her blow for blow.: 'Whether it be' her fault or her -misfortune, England but alienated her friendi without conciliating her enemies in this country. None now are less in love with her than the Christian, the cultivated the anti-sla very part of our pebple t ' . As Christian journalistsove desire to take a fair view of the subject, (a subject far WO wide, it must be admitted, for our limits), and, if possible, to (siert some:good influence, and to contribute now to avert the clouds that loom black in the .future. To point out the inconsistency,; the wrong, tfin folly of England's present ittitude and'tone to this country, were an posy 'for'our readers, a needless one. To retUrn upon her, bit torly insulting,press, its imitations : and its goad•. ings of evil , passiona,, ( were easy, Nor to do so is, for the Americe4 difficult =But such is not. our purpOse. 'To be Christians,' is a duty of - the Christian press, and we will rather allay than fan the flames of national hate. We should not forget—for it is our aim to be more than.-fair, to be generously charitable. We should not forget that, as a people, we are too, much excited, ju,staysand' necessarily tln much / excited, to view: dispassionately the 'bearing of our neighbore towatillf.Us; If Ezigland has for gotten this, wnwill not. If she has taken the.' hour of our anguish, the , very agony of our life and death , struggle, tO 'uttOr'jeers olr4 scoffs; if she has taunted us when our trial was upon us, and bade us, vihilat wrenching the. mirderous grasp from our nation's throat, have evidence and prudence at her feet, , and if then she has exf. pressed a righteous wonder that we resented her counsels to submit to national disgrace and death if England forgets that this is an hour of 'high est passion and excitement is a cepralsed and bleeding,land, we will not."; , M4e,all, 4uo allowance fora state of Mind whichtWP WAY' fairly believe incapacitates us fors perfectly calm 'judgment In judging Efigliihibearingrfwe will moderate our viefis by a memory 'tof to jtidge amiss.. Ite aim'not td nurture rnitiOnal eatnity; that 'England, in, her organs of utter ance 'had dettit fairly and kincily..with A.tilerica. But she has not.. With .every abatement for our liability to misjudge her, taking the judgment of the :tialinest of her apologists it is impossible to `deny that She has, as a nation, needlessly throkh away the friendship of a great 'people: She pas chosen to - throw her sympathies into the scale with rebellion and' slavery and avainst Coneatutional Gpvernment, law and liberty. ow and why is this ? The causes are several. Commercial jealousy is undeniably one ground of willingness to see the 4great republic broken. , Ali erioa; united America,:is her 'Only' rival in - the Commerde of the world: A broken AMerica „ < , would cease to be foimidable on the waters. Na tions, as such, are selftsit,, and England would complacently flee a rival weakened. Manufacturing rivalry contributes , to this Ben timent of jealousy, and when a proteetion Tariff es.aggerated into. a war against', the artisans of Great thitaini can be 'arrayed before her= mann- Iketutinginterests, this of jealousy grows ti,p&oe. Played upon by Seutherti diplomacy this has nurtured enmity against ' the 'North in the English breast- * Jealousy of a sreat Democratic.

Nor isrit to be de riled that by the"licentiousness of our press, and the corruption of our politics we have given grounds for such feare. The resistance of the North to secession involved war , • war involved' tlookade at the South a diminution of im ports at the North; hence = dihtress in England. It is bard for England to sea that'Ameriea must struggle for life even if Wills :run oni half time , and laces are insolved, in Europe. But, perhaps above all, in its blinding influ ence, rises the, sublime ignorance of American ofairs which is the characteristic almost equally of the highest and the lowest: orders of intellect inGreat Britain. That to this ignorance there are, ilhmtrious exception we , are happy to admit. But they shine as stars in, a 'dark 'sky. The mass of educated Englishmen do net understand America. The uneducated or half educated mass know about as ttittA of our political history 18 thefdo of the 'mutual relations oft the African i4es on the ,Njasse. They kdoli, that it is 4iiy annoying Mist there'-should be a Civil war in America, Jnd thefcantwit see why, it should not be stopped by the United States allowing the Southern States "quietly to go off." As for nur national life, the restriction of slavery, the geo graphical obstacles to division, "they do not see it." ; We have stated these causes of the unfriendly bearing of England towards the North, that, so fir as we condenin her, we May do it intelligent; ly. That so far astruth will permit, swe may ex cuse her posture, that as a people we are imbit tered against her not strange. We looked for sympathy and got neutrality" tempered down to a frigid indifference. ludifference gave way to threats. Threats :Siren followed by insults. A reading people; we Vive had spread before , us daily, the taunt's and 4 ,goadings of the. Landon press. No wonder that amid. the excitements of the hour, these innate send the blood to the cheek. It is beyond cavil that a deep hatred for. England is growing up in the heart of the Editor. As Christians We haVe a duty with , regard to tliis deep sense of wrong 'and its attondant enmi ty. War is a fearful scourge., eeatess war „ is a fearful crime. To cherish a revenge ful feeling towards„a ;nation is no' less sm. ful than if it were cherished against an intlividu al.

There is no cringing in cultivating f'orgiveness; it is the spirit of Christ. Let us remember that we still have friends in Englund, that we shall have more when her good men more " fully understands our struggle, and that recrimination sheds neitherlight nor love. THE HEAL Min OF THE OIMBOE MERE is scarcely anything that'illustrates, with greater beauty and power, - the real unity 'of ,the church, than the fact ihntihe saMe'songs'are to a great extent sung 'by every denomination of Ohristians. Many hymns are the: property of all believers of every name. 'You hear them wherever you go to worship, and see :them, no matter whatobook of Psairnodfyou open. ;Cow ~ "per and Newton were both members of . the •chureh ofEna b land and Dr. Watts was a Non 'conformist divine, but how often is the great head i,f the universal church, borne up to heaven on the wings of their verse !

" There is a fountain filled with blood," how airogint Would it be for any one denomination to claim it as their son.. when truthfully ex.priis4- ing the emotions of every pious heart, men of every possible shade of theologionl.belief sung . When even ftereetheological combatants seek to express their -pious emetiops in poetry—the fact is quite noteworthy, that they oftentimes utter 'substantially' the e same views' of truth. - Toplady and Wesley-belbiged to this class. Indeed our heart sickens as 'we read even the titles of the polemic pamplets, that through the - press; these good, men hurled each other.

The Herald and Recorder, of Cincinnati, no ticing the duly number of the Preabyterian Quarterly Review, says " The third article'is a review of the doings and, sPirit of " , The General Assembly of 1862." -It is, for the ,most part, a repetition .of what, every tidy-interested , knows already. We do not see the= use-of : hashing and. rehashing the Assembly every,tyear in this way." We fear that our good neighbor, the Editor, did' not think long before writing that paragraph. NO-Where but in the Review have we any 'perma nent accesible record of the dr:4144.9,nd sayings of our Annual Assemblies of the Church. In the, Minutes, we have a bare skeleton i -the hones, the . mere, results, in action.. The newspaper records, are full ? but -theylare preserved;, Files are too cumbrous and are rarely'seen. out. of the Editor's sanctuin: In, Redine, we have a fits arid se cesSible place fOr the deposit, nOt of the resold tons only, but of the discussions of the Assem bly.

BOOKS'IN TILE ARMY. Tilt 'Boston Tract Society' makes an earnest appeal for increased contributions for its Army work, They say .; While our citizens are sending, in abundance "comforts for .the 4dies of our soldiers, too is received.for the supply of , their 'mental and. spiritual,wants. The great falling off in.receipts for reading,thas led the Executive Officers of the Sbeiety to consider the propriety of recalling,Mr. AlVord from the army. Ent hie position there is one of so vast importance and so great 'Useful.: ness, that; we cannot see ho* he • ,can be spared. The following extract from one of his : recent, letters will.show the demand for, and interest in religious - reading. ' - I have been among the new -troopa of Cent• Shield's Division to:day. Thei have some' good' Chaplains, but are Wholly destitute `of '4eadinc , matter. No •mails - ever reached them from Washington, and they 'were in an, inaccessible' region until now. It is good to take these Ohio. and Western Virginia regiments by, the hand, and . do for them. as we .have done for, others: Their wonder and gratitude is unbOunded. told the:Chaplains, as drove into their camp this morning, that I had`good things for soul and 'body. Well, We are glad, to see yotil - we - have alt the' coinfOrts we need for both sick acid well, so far aathe body are concerned, but if you have any good 'reading do let us have it. It -was the first time my delicacies hid been .wholly over . looked, and the food for The soul first seized upon. I; found afterward, too, that their sick had scarcely, anything but the• coarse army rations. The crowd of common soldiers around my wagon showed the same striking tpreference. It was affecting to see them extend their brawny hands right over'jars . of` Weetmeats, 'Nies e =Chokers, and hottles of wine and seize upon that 'Banner.' ,They had not seen it before, and the flag (I. had a few hundreds of it). took them by storm." 4 It is an encouraging ,cireumstanee, that even the , rebeh evince a , deep interest; in, reading matter furnished by During, the late retreat, eighty dollars' worth of our publications fell into their hands. Mr. A. says of it, al haveleard mydistributions' among the R bel army at Fair Oaks. Dr. Marks - says, (he was taken and Liied to Richmond) 'that they all took the publications and read them, at the hopitals Where he w 4, and permitted him to carry them to five orsixetlier hospitals on the different fields, of bittle,. , .(crowded with rebel as well as union wounded) and that all expressed delight in their perusal— saw theDiS s lgiently the'hands of different regiments - Richmond, on be: : ing introduced to a 'Yoillig*gentlenian, on a Cer tain occasion Dr.' Marks. 0 yes,`l remeMber, I saw Yonfname in one of the Christian Banners we've been reading. The critics of , the South will, probably ; not. be of thename opinion with,the simple.- soldiery, the two niunbers being the ~ Fiagf.and Washington:" 'To supply even the sick'a,nd wounded in our hospitals with religious reading is a great work: The' number of and incii'inffering is very large: They 'low , for . Somethiricr. to While away the weary hours, that will supply them with valua ble and improving topics of thought. They as well as the, men who are still in bealth are deep ly serious. On Sunday evening,.. says Mr. A. in his last letter, I had a most serious,' full,- atten tive and , •tearful audience in one of the Pennsyl vania Regiments.' This is charaeteristic of the whole army: 'Battles and: disease have thinned their ranka. Many of the Chaplains have left. There never has been a time," says. Mr. A., " when so much :good could be done. The army is saddened by the state of things, and now need all the friends and, ,consolations, -which ._can be possibly thrown around it. Iffarked , solemnity attends all religious services in many regiments." Donationsifor the work pf this SOniety maybe annt to Henry Ain, Esq., 28 Corniall, Boston.
