j. koss bkowne on china.
From thu .V. Y. HrraliL
It appears by a tflorjrani from Han Fran
l ihco, that Mr. J. Kohk Krowno contradicts
the statement that oaino hy tbe way of Lon
don, to tlin effect tliit tho CUinosfi Govern
ment had rejected tlio treaty made ly Mr
JJurlinganio with tho United States. We vx
jnesseil our doubt at the firnt of tlio truth of
iho report. lie now says the ratification of
the treaty is deferred until the return of the
r.inbassy. So far, then, our ex-Minister to
China Las been misrepresented. !ut there
can be no question as to what he has written
and published over his own signature on China
and the Chinese. lie thought proper to
ventilate his ideas, and we fear his prejudices
as well, in a letter addressed to certain
liritish merchants at Shanghae. Tie has
committed a grave mistake in thus assuming
an attitude of hostility to the policy of his
own country the country that he was sent to
ri -present in China. His conduct is more
reprehensible, too, for having made these
foreigners, tho British opiuru traders, who
are the bitterest enemies of China, the
medium for his publication. Whatever views
he might have entertained or wished to ex
jmvvs should have been expressed to his own
iMivcnimetit alone, especially as the policy he
(li.scusses and condemns was inaugurated at
Washington and followed by a treaty made
with the I'nited States that formed the basis
of similar treaties with the powers of Europe.
Such conduct may seem bold and inde
pendent, but it is unwise, indiscreet, and tin.
patriotic.
His letter, though smoothly and carefully
written, lacks gnisp of thought. Admitting
even what he says to bo true, that the Chinese
Government does not desire progress or n
more free intercourse with the people aud
,.,.i;.,nu r,r inprien and Kuroiie. and that the
object of the liurlingaine mihsion is to pre
vent such progress rather than to promote it,
the cordial reception of the Embassy and the
broad and liberal treaties made with it cannot
jesult unfavorably. This was the true policy
for the great civilized nations of Europe and
America to pursue. It remains to be seen if
China will reject the treaties lately made
with this and other countries. We have
yet to see whether tho Chinese Government
has resolved, as Mr. Browne intimates, on
falling back to its old policy of exclusion and
retrogression. We are incliued to think it is
not so, and hope it is not. It appears to us
that the present government of China has
show n too much good sense and liberality to
justify the opinion that it would venture to
tritle'in sueli a manner with all tho great
powers of the world. It would be the height
of temerity and folly. Prince Kung and the
high mandarins that surround him must know
such a course would raise a storm of indigna
tion throughout America and Europe not easy
to be allayed, and that must iu the end be
very damaging to China. The Christian
nations of the civilized world would do well
to try the peace policy with the Chinese. It
is magnanimous, broad, liberal, and in accord
ance with the spirit of the age. If, as Mr.
Browne thinks, the Chinese fail to appreciate
this, and should resolve to evade or reject the
policy of peace and progress, the alternative
of war can then be evoked. All Mr. Browne's
talk about paganism, pagans, and Christian
ity smacks very much of the old missionary
and opium traders' prejudices, and is outside
of the real question at issue. The civilized
world of Europe aud America will not be tri
lled with, nor do we think the Chinese Gov
ernment so stupid as to imagine such a thing.
Surely it has seen and felt the power of the
great Christian nations too sensibly to make
Mich a mistake. 1 he liberal peace policy in
augurated on the arrival of the Burlingamo
mission is the true one, it ttiat be practicable
Let it be tried fairly, and then, if it should
fail, the great powers can at last resort to
force. We must wait the result of present
etl'orts for peace and progress, and are not
without hope, notwithstanding Mr. Browne-!
opinions, that they may prove successful.
THE COWARDLY COUNSELS OF THE
NEW YOltK "TIMES."
Frmn the .V. 1'. Sun.
The TimvH urges that we must not recog
nize the Cubans as belligerents for fear that
Spaiu may make war on the United States !
Here is its reasoning:
"The Cortes will assemble at. Madrid on the 15th
of September. Whoever is chosen KIiik, and some
one probably will be, his Urotae.t probably would be
a declaration of war, If any decent pretext ottered.
A concession of belligerent rights to the Cubans
would furnish such a pretext. It would rally every
Spaniard around the new monarch; it would thrill
tbroiiKh the nation; it would hush lends and sup
press local resentments and contention."
Considering that Spain has been making
war on the Cubans for the past ten months;
that she has exerted her utmost strength to
put down a small colony without military or
political experience, without - arms, without
organization, without preparation for light
ing, without skill in warfare, without trans
portation, without a commissariat, without
ong of the requisites of a successful war. ex
cept a just cause, aud courage, and heroic de
votion, and that, without having fought a
single important battle, she is now far less
able to subdue them, far weaker and more
hopeless than she was at the beginning, wo
must say that the bugbear with which tho
Time endeavors to scare the poople of the
United States is one of the most absurd and
cowardly bugbears that pusillanimity ever in
vented to terrify a great nation from the per
formauce of its duty.
Has the Time forgotten that within the
past six months the Spanish Government has
been obliged to contract a new loan, and that
the utmost it was aide to obtain lor titty mil
lions worth of bonds was fourteen millions of
dollars ? And this it realized only by appeal
ing to the patriotism oi tue hpanisn people
who cave the money magnanimously, in
order that their revolution might not go out
in nothineness before it had even tried to
establish a trovernment. Since then the tinan
rial condition of Spain has grown worse and
worse, iust as its internal order and its mili
tary power have deteriorated and become less
and less sure and available; and a new issue
of Spanish bonds would to-uay u mity i.riug
inni-A than ten cents on the dollar. How, in
mich a state of pecuniary collapse, and with
conspiracies and insurrectionary movements
rife in all Spuiu, can any possible Govern
ment of that cunntrv declare war against
the United HUtes Jhat will be anything more
than merely aomlnat and contemptible '( The
eiiiiity phanfemi of such a war- may till every
soul in the Timet office with panic, but it can
not alarm anybody else on this continent
, Besides,' is it at all probable that Spain'
, would retipona uy a declaration oi war 10 our
recounition of Cuban bellii'erencv V There
is no real reason to suppose it. One by oin
between 110 and 1K2.", the Spanish-American
colonies revolted from the mother coun
try and gained their independence. Every
One of them had tho sympathy of tho United
States. We sold them arms, men sailed from
our ports to help them, Preaidnnt Adams sent
a message to Congress to nrtje that we should
join in nn international convention which
they proposed to hold at Panama, and we re
cognized their independence and made trea
ties of friendship with them. All this did not
bring Spain to declare war against us, though
she was then stronger and we were very much
weaker than now. Is it likely that she will
attempt to revenge herself upon us in lsil'.l
for nn net of less importance than other that
she quidtly bore with forty or fifty years ago?
But the real question is not whether '"we
ought to bo afraid of war with Spain or not.
What the people of this country have to de
cide, and what in their hearts they have
already decided, is this: Is it right for us to
help the Cubans? and is it politic? If it is
right and politic, we ought to do it, whether
or no it 'cads to a petty war with a second
rate European power, struggling with bank
ruptcy, and in the crisis of civic convulsion.
Let us state the reasons which we think are
conclusive on this subject:
I. It is right for us to aid the Cubans be
cnuse they are trying to free themselves from
the oppression of a distant, alien European
monarchy, and to assert the American princi
ple of the right of self-government.
II. It is right to help them because they
are lighting to abolish slavery and the Afri
can slave trade, and to establish human rights
in place of tho infernal atrocities aud wrongs
of t ho slave system.
III. It is right to help them to establish a
republic in Cuba because we also obtained
help from abroad in the hour of our struggle.
That fact imposes upon us an obligation to
lend our own aid to a neighboring people
fighting like the men of Cuba to realize for
themselves tho benefits of republican inde
pendence and democratic self-government.
IV. It is politic to holp tho Cubans. Cuba
belongs, by her geographical position, to the
political system of the United States. For
half a century our statesmen have perceived
and have maintained that we cannot permit
mat sue snouni pass into tlio nands of any
other power. Iudeed, she is destined to be
come a part of tho American Union.
this being so, ought we to stand lazily and
cowardly by and see her devastated by a civil
war wincn we can arrest by a word j f Ought
we to consent that s'io should be matte a
desert, that nil the work of modern civiliza
tion shall be atini'iilated on her plains and
hill sides, as a preliminary to her annexation?
We can't see it. On tho contrary, it is our
duty rather to protect her against the useless
barbarism of her enemies, to avert the
further destruction of her homes, her mills,
her plantations, aud to bid the ferocious
Spaniard depart from her shores with the
whips and fetters ol his slaves, and all the
apparatus of his odious and intolerable tyr
anny. Her sons have proved that their an
tagonists cannot conquer them; aud every
consideration that should inlluence statesman
having sense and courage enough for their
situation, requires that the Government of
the United States should decisively interfere
to stop the civil war in Cuba, and maintain
the rights of her peoplo without any louger
delay.
THE BUHLINGAME TREATY.
F'om the X. Y. World.
"We trust tiie report Is incorrect, which comes t
us from Kong Kong, C the eil'ect that, tlio treaty
negotiated between this country and China, wlin
such pomp and circumstance, by Mr. Hiirlingame,
has been rejected at l'eklu. Uujalu Courier.
We do not share the recret for the loss of
the treaty which was so freely expressed by
our contemporaries before the publication of
Boss Browne s despatch contradicting the
report of its rejection. According to Browne,
the treaty has not been rejected by the
Chinese Government, but its ratification has
been postponed vintil the return of Mr. Bur-
liugame and his embassy, its tate is really
of little consequence, for it is a string of
empty verlmme without pith or suostauee.
We should indeed bo rather sorry to see Mr
Burlingames wings clipped and his vanity
mortified; and in tho fact that the ChiueseGov-
ernment is no hurry to ratify his treaty would
seem to indicate that the gushing demonstra
tive confidence that led to his appoiutment
has undergone some abatement.
Diplomacy of the oratorical, festive order
does not, this year and last, seem to bo at
tended with very good luck. Mr. lleverdy
Johnson is an able man; he was sent to Eng
land on a mission of real importance; in all
his dining and complimentary speech-making
he never lost sight ol the business sido ot Ins
duties: the treaty he negotiated was a busi
ness-like document, which, had it leeu rati-
ned, would nave settled an important contro
versy. His festive oratory, however unlor-
tunate in its results, was subsidiary to a more
solid obiect, and intended to promote it;
whereas Mr. Burlingamo s treaty was subsi
diary to the display part of his mission. It
had no other intelligible purpose than to con
vey an impression that so much diplomatic
cackling was not unaccompanied with the de
posit of an egg. It is tho emptiest and most
meaningless treaty (as we showed on its first
publication) that was ever negotiated. Its
ratification by tho Chinese government would
bring no gain; its reieotion no loss.
Iho regret felt in this country at tno re
ported failure of the Burliniramo treaty was
merely a regret that so much ostentatious
lestivity and tdoritieation should have borne
no fruit. It certainly was not regret at tho
loss of any advantages which would have ben
secured by the trenty; for there is not a man
in uie imted States w no recollects, or can
state, nny advantage, of any kind, which
would have resulted to this country from its
ratification. The treaty, indeed, consiste 1 of
eight articles; but none of the eight had any
meaniua that was worth the paper on which
the draft of the treaty was written. As for
the fuss and festivity, we cot the valua of
that in tho eniovmeut of it. Like virtue, it
was its own reward. We can recollect no re
cent instance in which fuss and festivity, on
nn international subject, have realized the
hilarious predictions of tho after-dinner
speeches and effervescing newspaper lea lors
by which the bubble was blown. When tho
whole nation gave a wild welcome to Kos
suth, it fondly and generously dreamt that it
was making a great contribution to Hunga
rian independence; but not a dollar of tho
material aid" given by our enthusiastic citi
zens to hoFsuth ever found its way to Hun
gary, and the hopes of independence soon
idterwent into a total eclipse and obscura
tion. In the autumn of 1st ;o, our country
men, with characteristics ardor and enthu
siasm, ran into a frenzy of generous welcome
on the arrival of the Prince of Wales. Our
orators and editors were pretty unani
mous in the opinion that the exu
berant hospitality which we lavished on
the heir-apparent of the British crown during
those sunny autumn days, would knit the
two countries together in bonds of the closest
friendship for the residue of two reigns; but
before tho next spring had put forth its blos-
ttonis in our tardy climate, the Queen's Gov
ernment made haste to rocognizo the Rebels
as belligerents; and from her ports were fitted
out the cruisers that destroyed our commerce.
and occasioned the claims for damages whieh
are, as yet, neither satisfied nor in a fair way
of settlement. Our experience of great ex
plosions of impetuous friendliness should
make us a little cautions how we attach to
them any other value than belongs to tho
transient glow nnd gratification of generous,
hospitable feelings. The Burlingamo blaze,
use i,o mauy others, was too much of the tar-
barrel order to serve any other purpose than
lucre festive illuminnt.imi.
The text of Mr. Burlinrmuie's treaty is all
that is needed to show that ho had no policy:
no errand of a basinoss-liko character: no
objects to aecotnp.iih which were capable of
t'Cing embodied in specifio stipulations be
tween China and the Western nations. The
trenty provides for tho opening of no now
ports, for the removal of no obstructions to
trade, for nothing to whieh our merchants
engaged in the China trade attach any im
portance. It is all tho sanio to them whether
the treaty is ratified or rejected. One of its
articles stipulates that China may send con
suls to tins country a rit-'ht which sho had
before, nnd which there is no probability
that sho will ever exercise. Another article
stipulate, that the educational institutions of
each country shall bo open to tho inha
bitants of tho other! Another stipulates
that the inhabitants of neither country shall
be forcibly abducted and taken away a purely
imaginary danger as regards citizens ot the
I'nited States; nnd if tho coolies are in dan
ger of being kidnapped. Congress had
already, long before tho treaty, passed a
law to meet this case. Tho treaty requires
nothing of us on that head which we had not
already voluntarily given, and it is ridiculous
for the Chinese Government to bind itself by
treaty to protect its own subjects. One arti
cle of tho treaty stipulates for tho protection
of all religious persuasions in tho Chinese
empire: but as tho treaty of IS, "is protects all
Christians in China, the peoplo of tho United
States can feel little interest in Mr. Burlin
giune's supplementary stipulation. His treaty
maivcs mis toleration reciprocal as it nny
treaty were necessary fos securing religious
freedom in the United States ! The whole
treaty is made up of stipulations equally
stupid or nugatory. It permits schools by
loreigners in all tne parts ot China where
foreigners are permitted to resido a privi
lege which has been conceded and exorcised
for the last twenty years. There is nothing
in the whole dralt on wlucn n practical man
can lay his finger and say that it is of the
slightest consequence; much less that it
justifies all tho jubilant parade whk'h Mr.
j.uningame litis made ol his wandering em
bassy.
TIIE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORTH
ERN AND SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY.
From the A'. 1'. Time.
The Chicago Tioien, whose right to be
called Democratic none can dispute, pro.
pounds an inquiry, wincn we nope to see
frankly answered by some adherent of the
same faith: .
It the Democracy of the North shall adhere to the
dead Issues of the past, how can the Democratic
nutty remain a national organization, since tho
whole body of the Southern white peome have aban
doned the dead issues, aud accepted the situation as
it 187 '
The question is apposite and significant.
The Democratic party of the North is at
variance with tho majorith of those who
have heretofore constituted tho Democratic
party of tho South judging of both by their
formal action. Changes that are accepted at
tho South are made a subject of contention
in Ohio and Pennsylvania. What Packer and
Pendleton, and the conventions that nomi
nated them, denounce as intolerable, has
been quietly accepted by their old friends in
irginia and Mississippi. JSogro sutlrage
nnd the other measures incident to recon
struction by which the Southern people, who
. , t- i i i
experience tueir operation, nave ueciaroa
their readiness to nbide, are mado , vital
issues by Northern Democrats, who sutler
nothing from their effects. The matters
which furnish pretexts tor agitation in these
latitudes, and which are always paraded as
in the interest of the South, are discarded as
of no further moment by tho peoplo of that
section.
With what propriety can that party claim to
be national which in one locality denounces
and threatens to overthrow what in another
locality its own friends accept and promise to
sustain? This, in etl'ect, is the question of
the Chicago Time, and it is justified by cir
cumstances.
The case might be stated yet more
strongly. Southern Democrats do more than
accept the situation as it is; they refuse to
join the Northern Democracy in the attempt
to make the situation otherwise. To this rule
there are exceptions. In Georgia and other
of the reconstructed States a few violent jour
nals object to the continuance of tho allianco
which elected Walker in Virginia and Sonter
in Tennessee; they urge the revival of a
Democratic organization proper, and profess
a deep interest in the cause of which Packer
and Pendleton are consistent representatives,
1'heso anneals, however, go unheeded.
We had testimony from Mobile, lately,
tonchinor the collapse of the ancient partisan
ship at the election in that city; -and the
iimior nortion of the Georgia press, directed
by men who stood by the "lost cause" as long
ns thev had an inch of ground to stand upon,
are earnest in their condemnation of the
movement. They declare plainly that the
mti feels no interest in the effort to gal
vanize the dead issues about which Northern
1 lemocrats choose to fight. Tho Macon Jour
nal nnd the Auerusta Uvnxtuution are con
spicuous in this attitude. They insist that
tl, South shall devote its energies to tno at
tainment of practical objects, and deride as
i renoKterous the proposition to localize a
r.m-iv organization whoso managers are un-
mindful of the lessons of the time.
From Kentucky proceeds similar counsel.
Tho deposition of Tennessee Democrats to
enlist under tho standard of Andrew John
sou, aud mako havoc generally, is manifested
in various ways. Talk about repudiation is
mm of them: the proposal to reject me ni-
eenth amendment is another; an inclination
to revive discrimination against tho negro is
i bird. Indeed, generally, the Democrats
of Tennessee are threatening mischief, and
tho better to accomplish their purpose they
are discussing the expediency oi lorming a
distinct party organization. Against this
tAiidenev the Louisvillo Courier-Journal pro
tests. No one will suspect it of indifference
on tho subject. But it has learned to calcu
late consequences, and to appreciate tho folly
of reliance upon - oygouo epiiueis, witu "a
trifle of ancient leaven and a great deal of
downright buncombe. The spirit which
prompted the query of the Chicago oraole
partially animates the louisvuie newspa-
ier:
"There Is no victory In dead issues. Nothing
Bhort of the Napoleonic will put the Month at the
front again. None or the old llxllles are models
We want "new vigor noi a new puny iresu Mens
aud vital euergles, witli Hornet lung positive to oiler
in room of tltut which wo propose to displace.
Above all we cannot atlonl to Htaud still, for this U a
moving age, anil tne people win not milium to bo
bored with platitudes about dead Issues."
"Dead issues !" The outcry is against them
as applied to tho South. And the Northern
Democracy, by inscribing them upon the
banners of the fall camoaim. not only con
fess their failure to annrootatn tho force and
direction of popular currents, but nenarato
themselves from the Southern rtoo'de. nnd
red nee their party to a mero soction al orgaui-
7UIUIU,
Against this blnnder General Rosecrats
r.ow remonstrates. His letter to tho Ohio
comniitteodoHoribes an ideal Democracy which
is, py comparison, the severest possiblo con
demnation of the course pursued by the loaders
oi mo party in that Mate and Pennsylvania,
lie would have his party make the most of
the existing situation, and nbuiidou the desiro
to upset it. Ho would maintain inviolate the
public credit, and on divers other points
would appropriate the Republican policy. It
is not surprising that tho Ohio managers with
held tho letter ns long as thev could. It is a
repudiation by tho man whom they declared
their first choice of the principles on whieh,
and tho manner in which, the canvass for
Pendleton is conducted. Regarding Roso
erniis as tho typo of a numerous and influen
tial class ot Democrats, it is not easy to escape
the conclusion that the party must revise its
programme nnd amend its tactics if it would
retain its vitality. "Dead issues" inspire few
woi shippers.
ALIVE OR DEAD?
From the Ar. 1'. 'lribunr.
'Iho question now arresting the attention of
the public "Is the Democratic party alive or
deii(l?"-ris susceptible of opposite answers.
according as it is understood. It is the old
perplexity of Giles Scroggins, on awaking
from a season of alcoholic obfuscation:
'Now, be I Giles Scroggins or ben't It If I
be (iiles Scroggins I have lost four good oxen,
it 1 ben t, 1 havo louud a cart.
No doubt there will always be a party e.idh'il
Democratic, which will hold conventions, and
nominate tickets, and sometimes elect them.
But tho main question is not. "Will there
hereafter be a party called Democratic?" but,
"Will it be in principle and essence the party
hitherto known by that title?" And thU
question is not answered by proving that a
party will survive that calls itself by the De
mocratic name.
This party has lately installed some new
lenders, who are verifying the old alage,
'New lords, new laws. Mr. John Qinucy
Adiiins, of Massachusetts, is one of the rea
diest of these new counsellors. He virtually
tells his fellow partisans that the blockheads
who want to keep them torever on what wo
may distinguish ns the Nnsby platform are en
tirely behind tho age that, if they wish ever
to regain power, thev must pitch overboard
the negro-hate and kindred auachronis ns to
which they have hitherto been stupidly cling
ing, and construct a new platform out of
free trade nnd free rum. General Rose
erans writes them from California that
they must quit butting ngainst the
national debt, if they dout want to
expose the hollow under their skulls
where brains ought to be, and present living
issues based on generous, progressive ideas.
Finally, the Southern "conservatives," having
tried keeping underfoot lor years, and found
it not to pay, have resolved to court tho
blacks instead of proscribing them, and thus
win elections instead ot contriving to lose
them. And the Northern file-leaders, who
were accustomed to take their cue from the
South in the well-remembered davs of their
pride and power, have called a halt, and are
evidently perplexed as to their future course,
On the whole, we judge that the Demo
cracy of 1872 will remind the country of that
of 1M8 by contrast rather than by similarity.
It will evince a youthful friskiness and
contempt for old fogyisiu, and insist
that it is thoroughly posted - as
to the timo of day. We shall not be
surprised to find it nominating a colored
ice-President and clamorous for a concilia
tion and fraternization of all races and castes.
There are no more zealous Christians than are
made of veteran reprobates when they do get
converted; and we expect to see the Republi
cans left away in the background whenever
Democracy shall see its account in a zealous
and sweeping assertion of the inalienable
rights of man. And, so far from objecting
to this, we shall only insist that they do not
claim that they abolished slavery and put
down the Rebellion, overcoming the most
strenuous resistance of the Republicans. Tho;
would bo going a trifle too far; but anything
short of it we shall endure with sincere pati
ence and bland equanimity.
