An English Paper on America.
THE Liverpool (England) Post speaks of the message of President Grant, as one that “bears all the marks of national content.” “There is no excitement in it.” “All is calm and satisfaction. Here, at least, is one great democracy soberly and efficiently doing its duty in the world; developing its resources; living on and re-applying for the enrichment of the nation the profits of industry and the accumulations of enterprise; surveying all other peoples with kindliness; rejoicing in having helped forward peace and civilization” by arbitrating foreign difficulties and settling down to domestic work with business-like resolution. The message exhibits “a great republic filling one of the grandest places in the world with a dignity that could not be excelled by the most ancient and stately monarchy.”
