We read and hear so much of the evils re Baiting from the late Rebellion, that we are ia danger, if not from having the ills over Stated, at least frem not recognizing the Talnable advantages derived from this self same source. Enjoying as we did for more than three-quarters of a century the blessings of the most beneficent Government ever vouchsafed toman, there was, nevertheless, no true, reliable national sentiment among our people. There was so little to remind us of the General Government no burdensome taxes, Bo foroed military duty, no exercise, indeed, of national authority, except in protection and benefits. These blessings fell upon the land as gently, naturally, and as unpsrceived as the dews of heaven fall upon the unmown grass. The influence and exerciso of the central power were scarcely felt or recognized, exoept when in some far-off country or upon Borne distant ooean it was exerted to shield (he honor or protect the liberty of a citizen. Oar colonial system anterior to the Revolution, the very slender bonds that beld tho colonies together during that try ing period under the Articles of Confedera tion, and the abominable and pernicious heresy of State sovereignty under our present Constitution, taught universally throughout the South and to a great extent in the North, Will account very largely for this lack of a national sentiment. Mr. 'Webster, one of the most national men, ofteneat spoke for Massachusetts; Mr. Calhoun always for South Carolina; and Mr. Clay was emphatically the repre sentative of Kentucky. There were indeed but few of our public men of whom it could with truth be said they were national. If the truth most be spoken, let us frankly admit that the war of the Rebellion found us a con federacy full of petty jealousies, State pride, and with very little deep-seated love or intel ligent appreciation of the advantages derived from the National Government. In sorrow and anguish we had to learn the lesson almost neglected in the long years of our peace and prosperity; but learn it we did, and when the glad aews of an honorable peace came flash ing up from Appomattox, it found us in our rejoicings a united people; forgetting all con tracted State lines, proud and happy as Ame ricans over the vindication of our nationality and the triumph of our flag. Upon this de veloped love and devotion to our country Test the brightest promise and most abun dant guarantee of the future. This is one advantage of the war that cannot be over estimated. The overthrow of slavery the liberation of four millions of human beings was as neoea sary to our existence as to their elevation and happiness. Lung deferred justice was at last done to an oppressed race, our Declaration of Independence ceased to be a rebuke to our own people, and the flag of the republio was cleansed of the blood marks of despotism, and floated for the first time in our history the emblem of freedom and jus tice. The war developed our industrial in terests and capacities. We advanced from dreamers to doers. A railroad uniting the oceans had long been speculated about and talked of. Some of the more sanguine hoped for its completion, but scarcely in their day and generation. It was reserved, however, for the aroused and developed energies of "our war times" to accomplish the great undertaking, the fruits of which are even now but dimly foreshadowed. It has become the pioneer of other enterprises of a like character, which in a few years will bind the continent together with bands of iron It has brought the East and West into close companionship, annihilated distance, destroyed seolnsiveness, and established a life current between the sections that is the surest bond of a perpetual union. Another and very important result of the war is the elevation of our national character abroad. The gigantic struggle carried on upon these shores for nearly four years; the re Sources, the courage, the endurance of our people, and the triumphant vindication of our popular form of government, have astonished and dumb-founded the world; and whilst it has educated Europe to an appreciation of the vast extent and inexhaustible resources of our country, of the spirit, intelligence, and indomitable will of our people, it has also taught them to respect the flag that repre sonts our nationality. Citizens of the United states constantly meet the evidence of this in their journeyings through Europe, espe cially in Prussia. Here the feeling is not confined to respect and admiration, but often manifests itself in words and acts indicative of devoted attachment and love for the land of "Washington and Linooln. This feeling is shared bj all classes, from neble to peasant. Almost every family has a representative in our coun try, and nearly all feel bound to us by ties of blood as well as attachment. A beautiful ex hibition of the respect entertained for this country by the governing class of Prussia was presented a month or two since. The King, commanding nearly fifty thousand troops, had a sham fight, and, the day following, a grand review near Hamburg, on the old battle ground where Frederick the Great fought one of his celebrated battles. On this oocasion there were gathered from all parts of Europe (he loading military celebrities Marshals of France, Austria, and Russia, as well as promi nent officers of the English and American armies. On his way to the palace from the fight, on the evening of the first day, the King passed the flags of several nations without any movement, but as he was passing the Ilotel Victoria, where some Americans had our flag flying, ha lifted his hat and saluted it. The next morning, as he was marching past the same hotel to the review ground, at the head of the finest cavalry in Europe, his attention was directed by the Crown Prince to our flag in the hands of a daughter of aa esteemed citizen of Phila delphia. The King immediately arose in his carriage, took off his hat, and made a pro found bow, which was followed by his whole staff, amid the prolonged cheering of the spec tators. This was nothing in itself, exoept as an indication. of tho respect and veneration in which our country is held by Germany, from her venerable King to the moat humble subject. We are in the eyesef Europe what we were not before the war, viz., a nation, en titled to the respect and consideration due a first-rate power. It were worse than foolish to under estimate the great trials and sacrifices of the war. We could not if we would forget the great debt bequeathed, and we would not if we could forget that mighty army of good and true men who laid down their lives upon the altar of our national unity. Generations coming after us shall call them blessed. But we would direct, attention to the fact that, with all the sorrow and suffering through which the nation marched to viotory, there are great and precious fruits resulting im mediately from the contest, that the people are reaping now and will continue so to do through the coming generations. These should not be forgotten. AN OLD CATECIII8M. There is an odd document to be found in col lections of old political pamphlets whioh is curiously suggestive when read in the light of to-day's history It is a catechism isiued by the United Irishmen after tho death of their last champion, Tone, and their final de feat in the rebellion of '!)3. It was secretly taught in the families of the pea santry, in the hope of keeping up a flame which threatened to become extinot. The real secret of discontent is thus touched: Q. How would you alter the property in land, and preserve the country from anarchy? A. By dividing the ancient estates among the descendants of those Irish families who were pillaged by English invaders. The re mainder to be sold by public cant (auction), and the money applied to paying off the debts of the former confederacy, and to rewarding the citizens who fought for their country. The last number of the Saturday Review contains a synopsis of the present bearing of the Irish land question which is peculiarly interesting when collated with this Catechism. The complaint now comes in reality, not so much from the Milesian Irish whose claim to the ancient estates dates back to the days of Brian Boroihme, but from those very Eng lish invaders whom they deoried the small farmers who for ten, thirty, sometimes ninety-nine years were granted leases of pro perty on payment of peppercorn rent; the very class who in the insurrection of "98 sided with the Government, classing them selves with the gentry, and holding aloof from the rebels who fought for the land then, as from a race of Pariahs. Whatever may be the right or wrong in this Irish land queston, it has certainly been a suit in Chancery, a Jarndyce versus Jarndyce, out of which both the original claimants and the point at issue have long since disappeared. No wonder the English reviewer shakes his head in despair over the unending labyrinth, and talks of vast and theoretical grievances impossible to understand, or Mr. Tighe Ham ilton exhorts Parliament to remember that it cannot possibly comprehend anything about Ireland, and warns it back as from a slough of despond. In the seventy years which have passed since this yellow catechism was written, Ire land has almost emptied herself of those who issued it. They are Fenians, perhaps, to-day, in New York or Montreal, but not in Cork. Their place is filled, more than they are willing to acknowledge, by imported small farmers from Scotland and the lower English shires, and it is they who now really moot the old vexed question of rentals, making use of the few remaining members of the old race to give the effeot of permanency and long standing to their claim. The manner in whioh the subject embodies itself now before Par liament proves this. It is no vague injustice of race to race which it is called upon to ad just, nor even the question of present pro prietorship, or the right of any man to buy and hold land the thorns whioh so long vexed the souls of the Milesians, and incited every revolt. It is a simple matter of busi ness claims between landlord and tenant. Shall the landlord have the right to eject a tenant without payment for improvements put upon the land ? and shall the tenant be allowed to demand a renewal of the lease, in stead of money in payment of such claim ? A business question, likely to settle itself in a just business fashion. But that the "ancient estates" will ovor re turn to the O'Haras and O'Neills, there is but little prospect, in spite of the wild and not unrighteous demand for justice in this old pamphlet. The harp is not only silent in Tara's halls, but in most cases it is gone out of the halls altogether. ' The most curious point to be notioed in this catechism is that every demand from these malcontents for justice in their lives has been answered, simply and naturally, by tne mere fact of emigration. Here they can openly profess their creed, whioh there it was death to whisper, of the "supreme majesty of Hie people, the equality of man, and the lawfulness of resistance to oppres sion." Here they have what there they hoped for "emancipation, equality of riyhts, a fair division, of land, abolition of State religion establishments, and a representative govern ment. " They are malcontents yet, probably. But one of the hardest lessons of life for na tions or individuals is that the sure mills of God not only grind exoeeding slow, but sel dom give us that food which we have chosen for ourselves. Attorney-General IIoab is played out. When his nomination to a Cabinet position was announced, the country ontside of Massa chusetts was quite unanimous in propounding the query, Who is noar? Sinoe then the Attorney-General has contrived to render himself better known than he cares to be so well known that it would have been better for him if he had never been known at all outside of the courts of Massachusetts. The Senate will not confirm his nomination to the bench of the Supreme Court; he has become bo unpopular at the capital that it is extremely doubtful if he will be able to maintain his seat in the Cabinet for any length of time; and the comfortable and honorable seat which he nsed to occupy upon the bench in Massa chusetts has long since been flUod; so that Hoar's chances for resuming the aotive prac tice of his profession are quite promising. Some men cannot hold up under a pressure of greatness, and Hoar is one of this unfortu nate class. The Postmasteb-Genebax has adopted a plan whereby the exaot extent of the ini quitous franking abuse can be ascertained. Each postmaster is required to make a monthly return horoaf ter of the number of letters and packages whioh pass through his hands into the mails by virtue of franks, together with the amount of postage that would be chargeable thereon at tho established rates. In this way it is hoped to be able to ascertain within the next six months the amount of money which is lost to the Trea sury through the franking system. It will be interesting to discover whose estimate comes the nearest to the mark that of the Postmaster-General, who appears to be ac tuated by a laudablo dosire to render tho ser vice self-sustaining, or that of the Congress men who do not entertain such notions of national economy. Edwin M. Stanton died poor. This fact is perhaps one of the strongest proofs of his integrity that could be adduced. His soul was bound up in the herculoan task to which he had been called, and in its prosecution he was as careless of his own fortune as of his health. Friends who were familiar with his circumstances, and abundantly ablo to rolieve him, at different times urged him to become the recipient of their material assistance, but he invariably repelled such advances with almost as much earnestness as he would have thrust from his presence the man who ven tured to tempt his official action with a bribe. Men of this peculiar mould are almost as rare in publio life as those who are possessed of the other sterling qualities of the departed statesman. MocifTJOY, the "King of the Whisky Ring," has come to grief at last. This morning he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary, with an additional year in case a fine of $3000 is not paid in the interim. The law-abiding people of the city will rejoice at this disposition of one of the most notorious and unscrupulous enemies of the revenue. But already we hear rumors of a prospective pardon by the President. It is to be hoped, however, that President Grant will be guilty of no such thing. Parliamentary Partibs in France.
