GRANT AND SUMNEll.
From the A. T. WorlU
Lord ralniorston is reported as
saying
KOinethine to the effect
that it was a good
fortune or bad fortnne of free legislative
governments that publio business was trans
acted with nothing bnt a shield of the mast
transparent glass between it and all the world
beside. That is in great part trne, and as to
internal administration of a country it is
certainly Well enough, but as to external
affairs one sometimes thinks it would be
better if everything were done by responsible
officers in a session profoundly secret as to
the machinery of doing, only revealing the
result of what is done in the San Domingo
business, for example, only announcing the
resolution finally adopted.
We have entertained and frequently ex
pressed the opinion that in all foreign affairs
partisan politics should stop with the boun
dary of our marine jurisdiction; and in that
sense our Secretary of State should by absti
nence from home partisanship so conduct
himself as to be able, in the administration of
bis office, to command popular support from
every one who agreed in the wisdom of his
measures, apart from local prepossessions on
internal affairs.
Mr. Sumner, by his long public service in
the Senate, his early dedication to the extir
pation of slave labor, his pursuit of that ob
jeot undeterred by popular or social obloquy,
and his conspicuous association with the
triumph of the great cause, has achieved for
himself an enviable European reputation,
apart from what would naturally flow from
his Senatorial relation for so many years to
the foreign affairs of the United States. He
speaks, therefore, from the throne of exten
sive general reputation not less than the seat
of power. Probably no man in the country,
in office or out, has to-day, or had yesterday,
a more potential voice in Europe than Mr.
Sumner. His education, training, habits of
thought, and expression are essentially Euro
pean, while his patriotism is at the same time
unchallenged, however much we may distrust
his judgment and temper.
lie has, too, a bulwark of strength in his
good name for pecuniary integrity. He is
not rich, has been the recipient of no large
fees as a lawyer while Senator, and the in
vidious public can point ton unexplained
accretion of property, as it can in too many
cases in the Senate. For all these, and a
hundred other like reasons, the public every
where, on either continent, official and unoffi
cial, who take interest in our affairs, will read
what Mr. Sumner says of the conduct of the
Executive, and a vast majority will believe it
to be literally and strictly true. No man can
estimate what moral effect the debate in the
Senate will produce in Europe as to the jus
tice of the propositions of President Grant in
respect, for example, to our British differ
ences. Senators Conkling, Carpenter, Nye,
and so on, -are unknown persons there. Mr.
Morton has recently been before Europe as
nominee to London, but as declining the office
only to keep a Democrat from ocoupying his
Senatorial chair a repute not conducive t.n
eminent consideration abroad. The sting in
foreign lands of Sumner's speech for all of us
is the animus which he attributes to Grant
and makes him capable of in all foreign
transactions. If this affected only Grant
personally it would be of little consequence;
but unfortunately, by a Bort of reflex action,
it taints the nation and its whole government.
To say that Sumner is self-asserting, arro
gant, and insolent of speech does not mend
matters, because ever since the caning by
Brooks for a violent assault in words on
Senator Butler the whole Republican party
has vindicated the purity of his motives and
guileless conduct. It will excite suspicion
abroad to say now that his life-long nature
has so suddenly changed, and that while
honest in denunciation of Butler he is dis
honest in dealing with Grant; that the desire
of Brooks to vindicate his insulted relative
was wrong, and that of Babcock to avenge
Grant in the same manner is right.
Bnt has not Grant charged Sumner with
infidelity, possibly falsity, in respect to the
Babeook treaty ? Has he not asserted that
Sumner promised to sustain it, and know
ingly misled him ? Grant is a little given to
' charging falsehood on others, if we mistake
not. He said as much of President Johnson,
it will be remembered, in connection with
the Stanton' War-office affair.
The fact is that Grant has utterly broken
down in that important part of the duties of
President which is to secure co-operation
and good understanding, first between him
self and his Cabinet, and next between the
Executive and Congress, by informal consul
tation and personal intercourse. He has
faiied where Lincoln succeeded, for the latter
worked in harmony with Sumner. In respect
to his Cabinet, nothing has been or seems
likely to be permanent. Everything shifts as
in a kaleidoscope. Few members remain
long enough even to get familiar with the
habits of mind of their subordinates, to say
nothing of their colleagues. All is ad interim.
Reflect on the Cabinet changes since his in
auguration ! Each, except Mr. Fish, seems
to make it bnt a stepping-stone to something
else. The last appointed member Akerman
only accepts to talk of leaving, and even
spends his little time in office in engineering
an eleotion. Clearly something is wrong in
Buch.a condition of things. Why is every
one bo eager to dissolve the association f
If a President cannot in a quiet and digni
fied way commend his measures to the sup
port ot bis own party in Congress, the pre
sumption must be that either the measures
are Lad or he is nnfit to be chief. Tried by
this just test, Grant's career is a lamentable
and unique failure. He has prevailed in
nothing, except in the Cuba discussion in
the House last summer, when Butler came
to the rescue of the administration from the
pitiless pounding of Banks. Here is a stan
dard and measure of Grant a fitness which
the publio would do well to reflect upon
The duty of the President to prevent the
recent Senate outbreak, - so humiliating
to the country, was and is so clear that
he will and ought to be held responsible for
the injury. If Sumner was perverse re
specting San Domingo, he should have been
conciliated inbtead of challenged to a publio
iracas in an annual message, or by uplii t
ing a red flag . of conflict in the
fchape of Morton s resolutions. What is
part of an island in the West Indies to this
country, that dignity and official decency
should be endangered by precipitating a row
on the subject in the high places of the
nation ? Can it not wait ? We have no man
ner of doubt that the present Secretary of
State or any of his predecessors in offioe, if
left to himself, could have taken up Grant'i
blunders, even at the point of the Aide-da
camp Babcock treaty, and substantially car
ried the measure safely through tke Senate
That, to be sure, would have required integ- I
rity of dealing, wisdom in concoR9ion, true
appreciation of the weigU to be given to the
views of Senators like Sumner, Sohnrz, and
Patterson, and a conviction on the part of
every member of the body that nothing was
nought but the public good. But in this busi
ness of graceful, potential, and successful co
operation, either with his Cabinet or Con
gress, President Grant utterly fails. He
Keeuis to have no faoulty of appealing to
one's reason; and so when patronage and
plunder are powerless, as in Sumner's case, he
is powerless.
THE rURITAN JUBILEE.
From the N. V. Tribune.
The accomplishment of the first quarter of
the American millennium has been most fit
tingly celebrated. There have been no
Bhows or pageants no building of sheds
with classic names no marching with ban
ners and music. As was proper in the ob
servance of an event whose highest signifi
cance was moral and intellectual, the chief
incidents of this anniversary were Mr. Win
throp's ppeech at Plymouth, the gathering of
notable people at the dinner in New York,
and the discourse of Mr. Ralph Waldo Emer
son in Steinwny Hall. Our readers have
alrendy been able to appreciate the chaste and
cultured eloquence of the orator of Plymouth,
and the brilliant And incessant flashes of wit
that played over the board at Delmonico's.
Rut Mr.. Emerson's speech will be re
membered after many anniversaries.
It is a masterly presentation of the
New England thought and claim. It is
not pure eulogy; the habit of mind of the
accomplished scholar and poet is rather judi
cial than partisan. But of all communities
that ever existed, the Pilgrim Fathers have
least to fear from candid research, and, there
fore, in hands so just as Mr. Emerson's they
have met with a treatment that cannot but
enhance the love and reverence they have
always received from their descendants.
Some undiscriminatmg wit has called Ply
mouth Rock the liiarney htono of America
It was a talent of meanly flattering others
for your own purposes that was fabled to be
conveyed by contact with the famous stone
of Blarney Castle. It is an honest and out
spoken admiration of ourselves and our his
tory that is excited by the mention of the
rou coast of Plymouth. And this is a much
manlier and more hopeful quality. The peo
pie that does not in some form adopt the
Chinese religion of the worship of ancestors
is most deject and wretched, and the one that
does not thoroughly believe in itself is
already struck with death.
lhere is a dangerous tendency in a highly
cultivated civilization to avoid these natural
expressions of national pride and gratitude,
as li there were something of personal vanity
miDgled with them. Even such genuine
Americans as those who form the New t,na-
and Society of this city think proper to adopt
a tone of witty badinage in singing the
glories of the early historic days of the Com
monwealth. The general tone at these recent
festive meetings of Now Englanders has been
to avoid any serious assertion of the faith
that is in us all; and, therefore, there is
something a little incongruous in the grave
and earnest words with which Dr. Bellows and
General Sherman answered to their respective
toasts. But on the platform, be
fore some thousands of people who had come
io lioten. 4 Li an , yi o jC tL&o wlual'OHL
and profoundest thinkers who writes
English, a man of great learning and
wide experience, who has surveyed more
generally than most men the vast field of
literature, and has studied men in many
lands, had no hesitation or false modesty in
giving, as the result of his laborious life s re
flection, his conviction that the work of the
fonnders of New England was the greatest
yet performed by men; that this country leads
to-day the vanguard of the world: that the
town of Boston is the true starting point of
the highest civilization of the planet. Of
course, he does not claim the first place as to
achievement in the worldjof original thought.
W e have produced no Shakespeare nor Mil
ton no Novum Organum nor Mechanlque
Celeste. Yet more Americans than English
men read Shakespeare, and some forty mil
lions of us have a more definite idea of law
and government than the educated classes of
Europe.
This is onr heritage the highest average
of intelligent aspiration known to history.
lhe one quality that distinguishes the Ame
rican from all other men in his disinclination
to rest forever satisfied is the condition in
which he was born. This is the direct result
of the Puritan life. The spirit of protest
against political or ecclesiastical thraldom,
the imperious need of knowledge, and the or
ganization of its supply; the sense of indi
vidual responsibility to uod that led to a cor
responding sense of independence before
men, were the influences that shaped the
character of that mighty society that has pro
ceeded westward and southward from Mas
sachusetts Bay. In all that is best of us we
can recognize the trace of the Puritan cha
racter. In most that is evil we can see the
result of some departure from their precept
and example. We need not copy the
exaggerations of their gloomy and
ascetic orthodoxy, but the spirit
of their religion was altogether admirable.
We profess and practise a more Christian and
catholic tolerance than they, acquired by the
light which they transmitted to us. But this
should not prevent as from believing with
all the energy of our natures the things our
hearts and reasons recommend to us. True
science leads to no languid skepticism. Those
who know most believe most energetically.
We cannot afford to forget or neglect the
lessons of our origin. There is no knowledge
more wholesome or more invigorating than
the history of our forefathers. We cannot
study tbcm too much or imitate them too
closely. Their faults have passed out of our
reach in the change from mediieval twilight
to our brighter day. The nearer we can fol
low them the closer we will come to their
perfect ideal, never yet reached.
CHANCES AND CHANGES.
From, the Jf. T. Time.
The city of Philadelphia, in its aspiration
after greatness, desires, above all things, a
line of steamships to Liverpool. Its efforts
in that direction have hitherto been failures.
This time it proposes to make things sure,
and the Pennsylvania Central Railroad has
been appealed to for enocor in the form of a
guarantee of bonds to be issued for the con
biruciion oi me vessels, Hut now comes an
announcement from Montreal, that the
Messrs. Allan, the owners of a steam fleet
which starts from Quebeo during the sum
mer months, and from Portland during the
remainder of the year, contemplates estab
lishing a line from the Quaker port. The
project is hardly likely to have been started
without the concurrence of the Philalel
phians, whose devotion to the principle of
protection led them to stioulaU that tha
steamships to be assibted by the Pennsylvania
uu duuiuu uo prouucia oi native inaustry,
Messrs. Allan, being shrewd business men!
Mould certainly not acquiesce in that eaudi
tion. All their present vessels are Clyde-
built, and as an economy verging upon stin
giness is one ot the secrets of their success,
we presume that they will continue to act
upon the principle of buying steamships
where they can got them cheapest.
Assuming that the Montreal report referred
to has some truth in it, we think it quite pos
sible that Philadelphia may gain at the ex
pense of Portland. President Grant's fore
shadowing of the retributive policy whioh is
in reserve for Canada, as a consequence of
her present policy, has evidently set many of
ber people thinking as to the possibilities of
the future, and Messrs. Allan are not impro
bably among them. If the privilege of trans
porting goods in bond through this country
be denied the Canadians, the Allan steamships,
coming to Portland, will at once feel the blow.
It may be that in anticipation of this check to
their prosperity the firm have taken up the
Philadelphia scheme, the success of which
will be largely contingent upon the ability of
the Pennsylvania Central managers to control
permanently a paying share of the Western
trade. Their plans in this respect are not des
titute of courage or comprehensiveness, and
we cannot close our eyes to their prospective
influence upon the commerce of this city and
State.
The St. Lawrence route is, howevor, a
more formidable competitor than any that
enn be established by way of Philadelphia
It would be the grandest water-route on the
continent, if the spirit and strength of the
Canadians equalled their opportunities. The
development of the Lake Superior trade will
CLbance its importance. The rise of Duluth
marks the advent of a new era in the com
merce of the upper lakes, and though we
have no idea that Chicago will disappear off
the map, no great stretch of the imagination
is required to understand possible chances in
tiade-enrrents consequent upon the extension
of the railroad system to Superior. Philadel
phia aims at the lion's share of the traffic to
be thence derived, but the advantages of an
ail-water route are too obvious and substan
tial to be easily overcome. The Pennsyl
vania Central, it is understood, will establish
a line of steamers from Erie to the head
of the uppermost of the lakes. ' The firm
that is credited with the organization of a
Philadelphia line of steamships is also al
leged to be negotiating for the purchase of
lhe Northern Transportation Company's pro
pellers, to be run from Chicago or Duluth
direct to Montreal. The exclusion of Cana
dian vessels from our lake ports would ren
der the latter enterprise nugatory. For
though matters might be so managed as to
retain in the United States the ownership of
the vessels now belonging to the Transporta
tion Company, we cannot f arget that a war of
reprisals, once begun, would lead to the ex
clusion of American vessels from the Cana
dian canals. These contingencies have a
direct bearing upon any attempt to speculate
on the availability of the St. Lawrence route
ns an outlet for the rapidly-increasing trade,
whose wants and value are more correctly
appreciated by the capitalists of Philadelphia
than bv those of New York.
