Efforts in Behalf of the Chinese.—In another column will be found an appeal for funds to support S. P. Aheong, Colporteur of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Since writing that appeal, we learn that the Rev. T. Coan's church at Hilo has contributed $200 for this object. We are delighted to witness this awakening in behalf of our Chinese population. Great good will be the result. The Chinese are an industrious and thrifty portion of our community, and they should be brought under good influences. We are confident that evangelical labors will not be lost upon them. Let their children be gathered into our week-day and Sabbath schools. A achool like Mr. Bonner's should be established at Lahaina and Hilo. We are glad that our Colporteur is engaged in this very useful department of labor.

To the Friends of the Chinese. The undersigned was appointed at the last meeting of the Hawaiian Board to present the claims of the Chinese before the Christian community on the Islands. The necessity of some systematic action upon this subject has long been felt. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, S. P. Aheong was appointed to labor among his countrymen scattered over these Islands. He has commenced his labors under most favorable auspices. Already has he visited all the Chinese on Maui. During the last few week? he has been laboring on Hawaii. I have just received the following letter from him, and shall insert the same without changing the phraseology, believing that the reader will appreciate the attempt of a Chinese to convey his thoughts in the English language Hilo, Hawaii, -Nov. 14th, 1868. Rev. S. C. Damon, Dear Brother in the Lord: —l am here this few weeks with Rev. T. Coan and family, anil try to do my work as hard as 1 could among my countrymen and native also. I preach in Chinese and in native both every week since I commence to work; also, I tries to get up some school to learn native for the Chinamen, and talk to them about the Gospel every day when I chance to see them. I am glad to tell you about the Hilo Chinamen. Some of them been this country more than 40 or 30 year*, and nevr been to church since they been in these Islands, until I came here. Then they are all came out to meeting—the Chinese meeting, or the native meeting both. Every one of the Chinese of this town are come out to church, and seem very happy to hear the Gospel of God ; and some of the Chinese laborers are come out to church on Sunday from Poukaa. from Onomea, and from Kaupakuea. and I hope they will tend the church hereafter. I stop at Kona one week, at Kau one week, at Hilo two weeks, at Onomca one week, and this Sabbath will be here again, and then I.expected to go to stop at Kaupakuea the next Sabbath, then so on to go around until I get to Kohala ; then take schooner from there to go back to Maui, I expect about the last week of next month. I may be in Honolulu then, if God please. Please don't lie forgotten to pray God for my work and for my poor countrymen. I sent my quarter bill to Mr. E. O. Hall, and I hope he will receive it with my letter. Please say my love to the whole family. Your unworthy brother, S. P. Aheov.. This letter presents a good summary of the colporteur's labors. The Rev. D. B. Lyman thus writes under date of November 13tli: " Mr. Aheong finds much encouragement to labor among the Chinese here in Hilo. They all come out to his meetings. None stay away to laugh at those who go." I do not feel under the necessity of appealing for funds beyond what may be done by the simple publication of Ahcong's letter. : — . It has been estimated that his salary and traveling expenses for 1868-9 will amount to one thousand dollars. Any persons willing to contribute to this special fund, will please forward their contributions to E. 0. Hall, Esq., Treasurer, or to the undersigned. I would merely add that the Hawaiian Board considers that this money should in justice be raised among foreigners on these Islands, rather than that an appeal should be made to the native churches. Reader, how much will you give to aid this enterprise !. Samuel C. Damon, Vice President Hawaiian Board. Honolulu, Nov. 'Jitli, 1888. RighSts—aielfoormrsN ' eeded. From newspaper*, private letter, and reports of seamen, there exists a state of things in San Francisco disgraceful to u civilized and Christian city. A writer in the Alta, signing himself " A Shipmaster," thus describes the present condition of that city, in reference to shipping seamen : "Then; is a society here composed of boarding-house keepers, who are banded together for the purpose of monopolizing the whole of the shipping business of the port, which is performed in this wise Immediately a ship enters our harbor, a whole pack of 'sharks,' commonly known as runners, board her, and by plying the unfortunate seaman with lightning whisky, and, if necessary, by threats, carry him on shore, placing him in one of their ' dens of iniquity,' there keeping him for a week, or at the most a fortnight, in a state of intoxication, Shanghai him through the assistance of a well-known street, on board of shipping office on some ship wanting hands, charging the ship $20 blood-money, and receiving the man's two months' advance (S6O), making for each man $S0 these inhuman slave traflicers obtain. The seaman, perchance, after a day or two, recovers his senses, and to his horror realizes his position, and feeling that he has been actually bought aud sold, acts in a sullen manner whilst on board, and in many cases causing by his actions much trouble and annoyance to the officers of his ship. This, gentlemen, you know to be the mildest terms in which 1 can picture this outrage to civilization, now existing in our midst." From this description, some might infer that a renewal of the " Vigilance Commit- : tee " would exert a salutary influence, but we would suggest that the merchants, shipmasters and public officers follow the example of the Honolulu people. About fifteen years ago Honolulu was laboring unrjer a similar curse. Not only did our people erect a Sailor's Home, but enacted laws, which have proved eminently conducive to the regulation of the port in regard to sailors. Sailors in Honolulu know with whom they ship, and where they are bound. Shipmasters are not compelled to pay " blood-money." Shipping agents arc under heavy bonds to do 99 right by both master and sailor, and if they are discovered in perpetrating fraud upon either, the Marshal will very soon rectify the evil. Grog-sellers do not have it in their power to detain a ship until their bills are paid. We do not pretend that our laws and their execution are perfect, but we do say that Hawaiian laws and their executive officers are very good. We have a quiet and orderly city. The lawless ami vicious very soon learn that our laws are wholesome, and must be obeyed, or they will be compelled to go, to prison ami to work. "Isaac Watts" of Hawaii.—The success of the Rev. L, Lyons, of Waimea, Hawaii, richly entitle* bun to curry oil' the palm as the lyric poet of the Sandwich Islands. His hymns in the Hawaiian language are numerous and popular. Mr. Lyons' knowledge of the peculiar idiomatic vernacular Hawaiian is thorough, practical and poetical. We learn that he is now thoroughly revising the Hawaiian Hymn Book, and otherwise laboring for the adjustment of hymns to music. He could not be more profitably employed, and although through failing health and the infirmities ofage lie limy not ho able to perform, his accustomed pulpit and parochial labors, yet he is doing a far more important work for the whole Hawaiian nation. Tidal Wave at the Marquesas.—Mr. Thomas Lawson, an Englishman residing on the Marquesas Islands, thus communicates the facts respecting the tidal wave caused by the terrific earthquakes of South America: " Sir :—1 send you the following : At Taiohae, August 14, between the hours of one and three in the morning, the sea rose and fell three titles, and flooded all the low land near the beach. Each time it rose about eight feet above ordinary tide, and when it fell, it fell six or eight feet lower than ordinary low tide. Then it continued rising and falling about every half hour two or three feet, until the middle of the afternoon, when the phenomena ceased." He speaks of damages, amounting to three or four thousand dollars, to bridges, boat houses and roads. No lives were lost. Naval.—The U. S. Steamer Otsipte, Capt. L. C.

Mr. Bonner also keeps a day-school for Chinese, and charges the moderate tuition fee of $1 per week—the same as paid in all the private schools of Honolulu. A Sunday school is held at 2A and 7* P.

The Ki.OOO-iiiile race between some of the tinest clipper ships in the world with the new spring teas from China has this year been watched with more than ordinary interest. In all, about forty sailing ships were engaged in the contest. Their departure from FooChow-Foo and its neigh boring ports in China ranged over a space of twenty-live days. Among these ships were those which accomplished such wonderfully quick passages in last year's race and the year before—namely, the Ariel anil the Taeping, as well as others which have obtained considerable notoriety by their swift-sailing qualities, such as the Scrica and Fiery Cross. This year's contest has displayed admirable seamanship on the part of the officers and crews commanding the clippers ; and, though there was no prize in money, as in former years, there was no lack of the determined courage and perseverance which characterized the former contests. The race was won by the Spindrift, a new ship of S9D tons burden, owned by Messrs. Findlay & Co., of Glasgow. She carried a cargo of 1,:J06,836 pounds of tea. She started on .May -9. and on Wednesday, September 2, at half-past twelve at noon, passed through the Downs, and got into the East India Dock at twelve o'clock at night, having accomplished the run from .China in littla more than ninety-four days. Three others—the Ariel, of Soli tons, owned by Messrs. Shaw, Low* & Co., the Sir Lancelot, anil the Taeping —sailed on May 28, the day before the Spindrift started and the Artel got into the East India Dock at noon on the 2d inst., twelve hours before the Spindrift, but had taken ninety-live days and some hours for the trip.

Boston Arthur W. I.oeke I Co. 1887. : We are indebted to James Hunnewcll, Est'., of Boston, or rather of Charlestowii, lor a copy of this interesting little volume. It is exceedingly gratifying to go back and trace the history of the parishes of Old or New England. There we see the people in their social and religious condition, where they manage their own schools and churches among themselves. It was in this parish that the Rev. Dr. Morse waft pastor, who was the father of Sidney B, Morse, Esq., of the New York Observer, Professor S. F. B. .Morse of the electric telegraph, and Richard Morse, Esq., the writer and scholar. They were brothers. Richard has just died in Europe. This volume contains much local informa- tion, interesting to the native inhabitants of Charlestowii. In glancing over a long letter from Sidney E. Morse, we met with the following paragraph, which will be interesting ft relates to the first to the genenil reader, America in vaccinated four persons of the lust century, Dr. close Near the " in England, made his celebrated dis.tenner, covery of vaccination as a preventive of small-pox. At first he was violently opposed in London by members of the medical profession, who would have branded him us a monster, seeking to bestiali/.e the human species by introducing among men the ilis- : eases of the lower animals. There was also strong feeling of repugnance to vaccination in this country and when Dr. Waterhousc, of Cambridge, in the autumn of 1800, imported vaccine matter from Fiigland, he reported to my father that he could not liml persons willing to submit lo the experiment. My father, who had probably been enlightened on the subject by Dr. Lettsotl and other correspondents in London, inviti*l Dr. \V. to Charlestowii, engaging to lind him there lit subjects for his purpose. When Dr. W. arrived, my father went with liim to Mrs. Henley's store on Main sireet, and presented the case to S. Y. S. Wilder, who was at that time a clerk in Mrs. Henley's employment. Young Wilder, having unbniiud'.'d confidence in my father, at once stripped up his sleeve, and submitted to the operation. Dr. W. then returned to the parsonage, and vaccinated me anil Richard, my younger brother. He had previously vaccinated a member of his own family, who had a poor constitution, and was in bad health ; and we four, I have been taught, were thefirst four pcrsotis vaccinated in. America. The three Charlestowii boys had good constitutions, and were in fine health; and the virus- from our arms, I suppose, was used to innoculale nil of you of that day who were vaccinated after us." a ; Chas, ProfSitaabble.t—h-Mkeping liiuiiconi, of'Cashel, Ireland, proprietor of an extensive cur establishment, huvintr over 900 horses, working 67 conveyances, which tlmly travel 4,244 miles, says that he has found, by forty-three years' experience, that he could better work a horse eight miles n day for six days in the week, than six. miles a day for seven days in the week. By not working on Sunday, he effected a saving of twelve per cent. The new magazine, Good Words, just started in New York, is edited by a company of Christian gentlemen attached to several orthodox denominations. It puts itself "on the broad platform of the Apostolic and Nicene creeds," and declares: " Tho church of God, in its highest development on earth, has passed through the Petrine age of authority, and the Pauline age of doctrine, and seems just entering upon the Johannean age , .

They led him thro' tho golden strata, On toward the King ofkings, While tho glory fell apoa hint From the rustling of their wings. They took him to that crystal sea, Spanned by the emerald bow.

Selected. — GP eorg eabody. At a meeting of the Essex Institute, held Mass., when it was announced that Mr. Peabody had given $140,000 for the promotion of the study of Natural History and Physical Science, with reference to their application to the Useful Ar.s, Mr. George B. Loring made an address, from which we copy as follows " 1 have always been impressed with the thought, Mr. President, that great men are the impersonation and embodiment of the spirit of the times in which they were born, and of the peculiar genius of the locality which they could claim as their country and their home. Human greatness consists especially in this ; and be he statesman or warrior or poet or philosopher or benefactor, the great and representative man is he who is guided and developed by this law. You find in Shakspenrc all that is grand and profound at Salem, : N . in the English Drama ; you find in Milton ment entirely equal to his generosity. He all that is lofty and sublime in that English puts the bounties of princes and nobles to poetry which grew nut of an endeavor for shame, by his great appropriation to the poor popular freedom in an early day ; you find of London. He builds up institutions of m Washington all the high qualities of pa- learning and religion in his own land, extience, courage, wisdom and sagacity which tending his charity, with a full hand, to the gave the American people the civil nnd mili- dark spots desolated by rebellion and war. tary power to found a free republic. And so Libraries and schools spring up under his the man who establishes a government, or touch. He erects no gluteiiug monuments, develops a philosophy, or builds up and uses objects of popular curiosity,— but moves his fortune, in violation of the spirit of the always for the education of mankind, for age in which lie lives, serves only as a warn- their religious culture, and lor the relief of ing to his fellow men, ami fails in his mis- their suffering and sorrow. He says 'no' sion here on earth. with all the wisdom laid down in that reNow, sir, when I contemplate the char- markable discourse of our own President " acter of that distinguished man, whose great- Walker; and be says 'yes' with that unness consists in the judgment and madam erring judgment and prudence, which have with which In- bestows iiis bountiful benefac- thus fur enabled him lo avoid unworthy obtions, 1 am always struck with tin- fact that jects." in him are combined all those qualities of For the r'risnd prudence, honesty, industry and thrift which a"BrtoehkasB t ooks." so truly belong to the town m which he was horn, and also that devotion to all those institutions of learning, religion and charity which lie close to the hearts of our people. George Peabody is the embodiment of the best industry and the soundest practical philanthropy of New England Society. What the associated men of his native town of Danvers have labored for. lor yeurs, be has accomplished belter than they all. Aud what a remarkable picture he presents ! He commenced life here as a poor boy. He had no superior advantages. He could call upon no powerful family lor aid. He was horn into no great mercantile line, in «vbo*e wellbeaten path he could travel on lo fortune. He inherited from his father and mother only the faculties which he himself was to use in carving out his own career. And it is astonishing how, as he went forth into the world, he preserved, even in the height of all his successes, these native faculties unharmed. He has been debauched by none of the temptations which great wealth and unbounded prosperity carry in their train. " Passing from his own country into the great commercial centre of the world, he has preserved all his habits of industry, all the method of his early life, and all the simplicity and frugality into which he was bom. He has boasted of no establishment; he has taken no pride in his equipage has not made himself conspicuous with his horses in the parks and on Regent street; has courted no titles; has asked for no distinction. But exercising always a generous hospitality toward his countrymen, he has been content to bestow his fortune and his powers upon the wisest charities. In his simple countingroom, from which his sagacious eye has surveyed the business of the world, on the London Exchange, and in all private and public duties, he has always kept that identity with which ha started in life. His large brain, broad enough for the best human service, ample enough for a statesman, has never yet been turned from that course which he laid out for himself in the beginning; and George Peabody of London is simply George Peabody of Danvers, developed by time and experience into all his ample proportions. '• 1 think, sir, to have received the attentions of a man like this is an honor as well as a benefit to our institution. You must have observed that Mr. Peabody bestows his benefactions on worthy objecrr, with judg- ; In n late number of your paper, you recommend to your readers the purchase of certain works, for their literary value. A sale catalogue nf books, received from London per last mail, contains several, which your readers may be persuaded to buy for their commercial rain*. One of them was purchased about a hundred years ago for $12. It is possible that it may advance in price at the same rale the next hundred yean, in which case it would prove a good investment. The first is a Block Book, the mode of printing which immediately preceded that by movable types. It may be called wood stereotype. The work is the " Apocalypse of St. John,'' comprising 4S pages only, printed A. D. 1420. Price, $2,750. The second is entitled ;'La Somme Ruralp," printed at Bruges, by Colard Mansion, A. D. 1479. Price, 81,100. The third is « Knight of the Toure," " e'nprynted at Westmynstere, the last day of Janvuer, 1484, by W. Caxton." Price, $3,080. The fourth is Fayl of Armes," by V\"illm Caxton, 1489. Prke, 81,500. The first book printed in England of which the date is certain, is "Dits moraux dcs philosophes." in 1477. Caxton, the father of English printing, resided several years at Bruges as English Consul, where it is supposed lie learned the art of printing from Colard Mansion, as he introduced it into England so»n after his return. I would remiirk that rare books are becoming more rare, and consequently increasing in price, for reason chiefly of the liberal supply of money beinr; furnished to public libraries, especially those of the United States ; a work once deposited in them, is lost to the market forever.

HONOLULU, DECEMBER 1, 1868. lltto Series, Dol.lB, $to. 12.} HKOL-KNT.I Ihaiaii i.x i 22—" A little one shall become a thousand, nud a small one a strong nation." The electrifi telegraph and the swift-sailing bring the intelligence, in thirteen days from Washington, that the President of the United States has issued his Anuunl Proclamation Hteitiner for a day of National Thanksgiving. Speaking in the name of the Chief Magistrate of that great Republic and strong nation, our Minister Resident has invited all Americans residing on these islands, or visiting our shores, to keep the day and unite with their countrymen, at home and abroad, in rendering thanksgiving to the Almighty Ruler of Nations for his protecting providence another year. We have gathered this morning in cheerful obedience to this united call of the President and our Minister Resident. Tho time has been when an annual Thanksgiving Day was a local affair, and confined to the New England States, but as years have rolled away, the fitness and propriety of such an observance has so commended itself to the dwellers in other parts of the widely extending country, that now the day has become national, and no longer local and sectional. It was first observed by the Pilgrims when they landed upon the rock of Plymouth;—as theirdeeendants have migrated westward they have annually observed the Thanksgivday, until now the song of National ing commencing to be sung in New England, is prolonged from the shores of the Atlantic, "till murmur of the Pacific seas." it loses itselfamid thefellow citizens, on these seaIt is our privilege, notes catch the of this song, ere islands, to girt they have completely died away. In delightful harmony with thirty millions of our countrymen, dwelling in their happy homes, and gathering in their respective houses of worship, we now sing : My country 'Us of thee, '*Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." Americans lose nothing of their patriotism and love of country, when they expatriate themselves to foreign lands. Perhaps, upon reflection, it would appear that in no country foreign to the territory of the United States does the American citizen retain the peculiarities of his nationality to such a degree as he docs under the mild and we peaceful sway of the Kamehamehas. Indeed, hardly feel that we arc residents in a foreign land. There is no flag, not even that of the Hawaiian Kingdom, which so often meets the eye of the beholder in Honolulu, as does that of " Tbe Star-Spangled Banner." The time has been when tho subjects of other nationalitieswould tauntingly point to that flag ami say, That the " emblem of the/ret.' No, its folds wave over the homes or hovels of four millions of slaves." That taunt can no longer raise the blush of shame on the cheek of the citizen of America. The language of the poet has become the statement of a sober fact, America is now " the land of tho free and tho homo of the bravo." No man now in any part of the habitable globe, will presume to call in quostion the bravery of the American, or cast a slur upon his freedom. His bravery has been tested on hundreds of bloody battle fields, and his freedom no man shall dispute. This brings me to announce my theme of remark on this our day ot National Thanksgiving: The United States of America, a Strong When Afay Flower, with its precious freight, first approached the rugged shores of New England, it came to anchor at Capo Cod. Then and there, in the narrow and crowded cabin of that little bark of 180 tons, a document was drawn up and signed, which has proved the basis of ovcry State government and the Constitution of the United States. This documentis so short nnd important, that I am inclined to repeat it in your hearing this morning: majority, was first expressed iv language. the bark are "Is ths Nam« or Hon, A»«a.—We whose names Lord under written, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign snd France Britain, of of Great God, King James, by the grace underlakru Ireland, King, defender of the faith, tc, having Chrlstlsn Isltn lor the glory of God and advancement of the plant the Oral and honer of our King and country, a voyage tothese presents, colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by Nation. another, solemnly and mutually, luthe presence of God snd one for body politic, It was not until the successful und happy ter- covenant civil snd combine ourselves Into a that and furtherance of the preservaUon the and in America, ordering of late civil war our belter mination sml of do constitute, enact, and by virtue here the idea of American unity and nationality was endsaforesaid-, frame such Just snd equal laws and ordinances,beacts, constituthought mosl fully established.

Tho United States were viewed as King and of ScoUand the fifty-fourth year, Anno Domini, 1620. so many distinct and separate States, and the national government as a mere confederation of independent States. The State, and not the nation, was a unit. These separate units were united by a bond, it was imagined, as fragile as a rope of sand. Indeed, this very simile, " rope of sand," was often employed to designate the American Union. The so-called Confederacy was based upon this fallacious and erroneous idea. The United States of America was not a Confederacy, but a united nation. )?our years of terrible conflict tested this question and settled it forever. The glorious fact has been proved to the satisfaction of the world. The peoples of all lands now believe that we are a nation, and a strong nation. I employ this language not in vain boasting, but to enunciate a great, grand and glorious idea, or describe a living reality, for which we are especially bound to give thanks today. All Americans should unite in giving thanks that the country to which thoy hold allegiance is a free and strong nation. It may be proper, briefly to enquire wherein consists the strength of America? DeTocqueville, the great political writer, in his work on " Democracy in America," Bancroft, the historian, and numerous other writers of ability, in Europe and America, do not hesitate to point to the Pilgrims, who went over to America in the May Flower, as the Heaven-appointed agents for laying the foundation of the great North American Republic. The strength of the Republic is baaed upon the will of the people. In America, the people reign. They are the sovereigns. It is no exaggeration of language to say the sovereign peo- There is the priceless document. There is the germ of Free, Constitutional, Demociatic and Representative Government. Fanueil Hall may be styled the cradle of American Independence, but the cabin of tho May Flower was the cradli: of Constitutional Government. Remarks a certain writer, " this briefand coma prehensive, and simple instrument established most important principle, a principlo which is the foundation of all the Democratic institutions of America, and is the basis of the Republic; and in however it may be expanded and complicated our various constitutions, however unequallypower may be distributed in the different tranches of our various governments, it has imparted to each iv strongest and its most striking characteristic." The principle was this—the will of the majority of the people shall govern.America, from 1620 to Trace the history of 1868, or from the time when the small one became strong nation," and you will find thia princi"ploa permeating the nation. Like " leaven which the woman took and hid in three measures of meal," the whole nation has become so leavened, that when the Rebel flagwas hoisted at Montgomery, Alabama, and Beauregard fired upon Sumter, there was such an uprising of the people as tho world never before witneaaed. For four of thoulong years the war raged—hundreds sands of brave patriots fell upon the battle field, and thousandsof millions of dollars were expended in vindication of this principle. The majority of the people of the United States had elected Abraham Lincoln as President. A minority declared that he should not preside over them, and so the ple.

Kings, statomen, military men, and the people of Europe and the world at large, declared, over and over again, that itcould not'be done. One British statesman declared that Jefferson Davis had created a nation. Others following the example of the late Lord Brougham, spoke of thee once United States. They did not understand or appreciate tho strength of the combined will of a majority of the people of America. The army aud navy did not form a true picture of the whole strength of America. There is a Intent power underlying our government, but occasionally manifesting itself, which is far more striking than any exhibition of physical force. As an illustration of this latent power or strength of the nation, I would refer to the intimation which the Ainericaji Secretary of State once gave to the Foreign Minister nf tho Empire of France. Mr. Seward merely intimated that the presence of the French army in Mexico was displeasing to the people of America, and with alacrity a fleet ot transports nail from Europe to carry burk to their homes the soldiers composing the army of .Maximilian. The army was withdrawn. Why' Gfl auk the Emperor of France. He is not easily frightened, yet somotimes discretion is the better part of valor. \Vlk> can be blind to the fact that not only France, but England, and nearly every nation upon the globe, has essentially changed its opinion respecting America within two or three years, or since the civil war was ended. The world has come to see and acknowledge that America is strong and potent in all those elements contributing to form a grout, free and powerful nation. Spread *f Anertraa Ideas. During the colonial period of our history, and since the United States became un independent nation, political principles have been evolved and ideas respecting the civil and religious rights of man have been wrought out, which are new to the subjects of old monarchical and aristocratic governments. It has required much discussion and the effusion of blood to establish these principles and ideas. They are necessarily aggressive and revolutionary. Previous to tho late war, European writers asserted that Americans would not go to war and fight for an idea. Never did a nation by its struggles more completely refute this assertion. " Principles not men," is emphatically the American's motto. American principles and ideas are now spreading and permeating the nations and courts of Europe. I'inglish writers now describe their own country us undergoing an Americanizing process, 'flic masses of European Society feel the throbbing pulsations of American life and agitation. No power on earth can stay influences going forth from the heart of the American people. Those influences have penetrated to the heart of India, China and Japan. Bismarck and Bancroft have negotiated a treaty establishing the point never before yielded by Prussia, (orreally any European Power.) that the subject of the King of Prussia, when ho had immigrated to the United States and taken the oath of allegiance, would thereby be released from all allegiance to the country wherein he was born, and if ne should return, would not be required to render military service. When the Prussian Minister had finished signing the naturalization treaty with the United States Minister at Berlin, he laid down his pen und snid to Mr. Bancroft, Well, you have beaten us." •' Ono, no," "laughingly replied theAmerican Minister, "you have only recognized the rights of man! " "At any rate, continued the Prussian Minister " you have got what your predecessors have always to get, but failed to attain." This Iisowna begging concession, or the acknowledgement of a right vast and momentous, as it affects the thousands, aye, millions of European immigrants to America. The telegraph announces that our new Minister to England has obtained a similar acknowl- " forever, the accomplish, and exploding, and old hackneyed but boasted saying, " Once an Englishman, always an Englishman." Thus old ideas of European state-craft are giving place to new American opinions. While Bancroft nnd Johnson are achieving such triumphs in diplomacy, look at Burlingumc, passing from land to land and circumnavigating the globe with his retinue ol Orientals, while receiving in his journey congratulations more enviable than those paid to a Roman Pro-Uonsul on his triumphal return Iroin a foreign province. Statesmen and diplomatists of young America are achieving victories far more worthy of fume nnd glory, laurels nnd wreaths, than was I'rcsar wheu he returned from the conquest of (iaul, or Titus when ho cnnic to Rome after the downfall of Jerusalem, or I'ompey when be returned from the East, having subdued the pirates of the Mediterranean nnd enemies of Rome in Asia Minor. Milton has most truthfully and beautifully remarked, * |k'nce hnlh her victories No less renoivii'd than war." Ntrmtrth of llir Amrrlrau tuvrrnnent Tested. Two memorable instances may be cited, wherein the strength ol the Government of the I'nitcil States has recently liecn severely tested. 1 rclcr not to the war, which was prosecuted with so much vigor, und to such a successful termination; not to raising of immense loans, which the government needed to carry forward the war ; but to the assassination of President Lincoln, uml the impeachment of his successor. Viewing the assassination from an historical point of view, or what might almost naturally be supposed would have occurred on such an occasion, the inference would be that the Government at Washington would have become seriously embarrassed, if not thrown into irrtricvablc confusion. But no such result followed. His successor was advanced to his high office, and nil the machinery of Government in its variouß departments moved on witb its accustomed order and regularity. So unexpected and unlooked-for a result astonished the world, even more perhaps than the victorious march of Sherman through Georgia, or the surrender ofLee. The other event is of more recent tlate. This occurred during the year not vet closed. For reasons deemed satisfactory, the llousc of Representatives prefers charges of impeachment against the Chief Magistrate of the nation, while he is allowed to exercise the prerogatives of bis office. He is summoned before the Senate for trial. He appears, although not in person, yet by one duly authorized to answer for him. ilis trial is prosecuted, from beginning to end, according to due forms of law. The whole nation calmly awaits the decision. Thirty millions of jicoplc through their Representatives', bring chnrges of high misdemeanor against the man wnnm they have chosen for their chief ruler. The proper tribuuul decides that be is not guilty. During all the period of this trial, and when the result is announced, the national Government is not impeded in its career. In no respect are the wheels of Government retarded in their regular revolutions. Even had there Iwti one vote more for bis imhe peachment, there is no reason to doubt but would hnve quietly retired and returned to the scenes of private life. 1 am not aware as the history of the world presents precisely a similar prallcl. Perhaps no event in the history of our _ beloved country has more solemnly impressed the thoughtful minds of Kings, Emperors, statesmen and people of Europe, than the trial of the President. The Government withstood the strain. It is a very convenient theory of most monarchical governments, that the King can do no wrong, when the worldknows that Kings as well as their people are liable to err. The theory ofthe American Government does not ignore the idea that the Chief Magistrate may err and commit crimes and high misdemeanors. If he docs, thenaay the people lot him be tried, and if found guilty punished, or removed from office. The American people are an eminently practical people, and when difficulties occur can address themselves to the work of removing the difficulties and remedying the evils. Tho Government is thus proved to lie strong, because it is the embodied sentiment of an intelligent and strong-minded people, expressed through their properly elected .Senators and Representatives. Material Itesonrees of the Country, I hnve, ns yet, mentioned but a. few of those elements of national strength which, combined, render the United States of America a strong nation. I hnve not referred to theimmense agricultural, mining, mechanical, manufacturing and commercial resources of the country. The brief hour allotted me, on this occasion, would scarcely allow mv time more than to allude to these various sources nnd elements of strength. They exist nnd arc inexhaustible. Our countrymen are developing I hem with astonishing vapidity. While we arc now assembled, fifty thousand laborers arc busily occupied in grading and laying the track of the great Pacific Railroad. Such dispatch in the execution of a work of this nature was never before witnessed. That road when completed and its numerous, brunches sbnll be built, will contribute immeasurably to our material strength. Tho Raw*and West, the Atlantic and the Pacific, will be united with bars of iron, easily broken."

She is independent withWhen the late civil war in her own dominions. broke upon the country like a peal of thunder in n clear sky, more than one would-be-statesman of Europe predicted the downfall of the Republic, because the national government would not bo able to secure a loan sufficiently large to support the sinews of war, pay the soldiers nnd sailors, and purchase the munitions of warfare. F'uropcan money-lenders superciliously offered to negotiate a loan at an enormous premium. They were very soon given to nnderstand that America was in no particular need of their assistance. The subject of American national finances is well described in the October number of tlie Atlantic Monthly, which hnsjust conic to hand: "< me of ihe inosl striking features in our great conflict whs ihe tinsnclHl jKiwer of the Northern Suites.

Maralion.il and Religions Strength *f the Nation. 1 have not as yet alluded to the educational, philanthropic, missionary and ecclesiastical resources of our lielnvcd country. All these combined arc imparting a vigor, energy untl strength to the nation, rendering America foremost auioug tin- nations of the earth. Our common school system is equal to any yet dovised for the education of the whole population. All true patriots and well-wishers of the country lay it down as a first principle, not to Ikj questioned or controverts ed, tliat the jwople must be educated. With the education of the masses go hand in hand the establishment and endowment of high schools, academics, colleges and universities. Never were these institutions more munificently patronized and endowed than during the last few years. These give strength and glory to the nation. Private enterprise and public legislation vie with each other in the establishment of schools and colleges, where agriculture, tho mechanic arte, �107 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1868. tactics and mining operations arc made specialities, as well as the study of languages, science and literature.

Ilis chief object may be to evangelize the world, and preach the gospel in every land, yet the American missionary is a truly patriotic citizen. If his country demand, the missionary sends home his sons to swell the army of the Republic aud put down the rebellion. As tt source of unparalleled strength to the nation, I will mention tho fact that the church is separated from the State. Churches arebuiltaud pastors arc supported by voluntary contributions. following in the pathway < Itbcr nations arehasfastbecome the leader and cxnmwhere America plcr.

In view of this fact and the support of theBibleandmission tiry cause, let no one say that America is not a christian nation. It is as much so as any upon earth. The united voice of the nation has led the nationnl Government to give expression to the feeling of national dependence by inscribing upon our coin, " In Goo is our Trust," and also in impressing upon the President the importance anil propriety of issuing a Proclamation for ft Day of Nationnl Thanksgiving.

The great North American Republic is not animated by any such controlling spirit, or any policy similar to that which controlled and urged forward Home, or the empires of an older date—Assyria, Babylon, Persia, or some of those which have since nourished. I believe it was reserved for America to achieve glory in promulgating new ideas of Government, and for her statesmen and diplomatist* to inaugurate a better code of international policy, abandoning those old principles of conquest that might makes right," and "tho end justi" fies the means." There is a growing public sentiment among nations, und the time is coining, if it has not already arrived, when a nation professing to be enlightened nnd Christian, cannot do things which would dishonor ft private, hightoned Christian gentleman. The world's public sentiment will not sanction the King of Abyssinia in maltreating a British Envoy, or Britain in sending forth armed Alabamas, or America in holding human beings as chattel shares, or Russia in perpetuating the system of serfdom, or France in forcing an Kmporor upon Mexico, or the Great Powers in partitioning off among themselves China and Japan. 1 claim for my beloved country, that she has a distinguished and honored part to play among the nations of the earth, and that her jsilicy will be pacific and mild, hononiblc and justifiable, beneficial and ennobling.

These Regents arc empowered to select a President, —upon the judicious performance of this duty the success of tho institution materially depends. To the great surprise of the friends of learning, the Board, acting iv a purely partisan manner, on the 11th inst., elected to this responsible position the Hon. Geo. It. McClcllan.
