Before the present campaign is over the American people will come to fully und .rstand why a i'riliah i ress and Brit is i sentiment were so uDauitnously op posed, at the moment of hiB nomina tion, to James G. Blame. Eogland properly has a twofold, wholesome, fear of this continent. The first, most natural, aud we might say necessary cause, is British solicitude for British com uerC'3. fro u the mo nent British commerce commences to decline will date the decline of the British empire. M i ress of the igh seas and mistress of the vorlJ"9 corauiero, Euylish minds well understand t: at therein, and th rein aljne, lies the secret of Bnt'.sh -upremacy. In this continent and in t!;e American people England recognizes her true antagonist fur the world's ricues. The spirit of enter prise, in every branch of iudustry, a? evidenced by ihe Yankee, pointi uner ringly to the fact that the mastery of the world's commerce has come to bj a questionable matter between the o!d and new (dispensation) conti- ne its, in inventions, in manufacture?, t in products, iu gold, America has for three-quarters of a century been mak- ng wo iderful strides hence, there is nothinge, strange in the fact, that Etig' lanJ should be wide awake, watchful, and filled with solicitude for her own welfare. This is the first and chiefest dread of American, or Yankee pro gress, under the guidance of a consum mate leader, such as James G. Blaine. In the second place Great Britain has "just ;ti i deep cause for eolicitude as to the future policy of this uatiou towards herself. The time has pasi for the Aoiei it:aa nation to be placed in-extremis as was the case in our early history when "the quarter deck of a British man-of-war constituted a floating j idgmeat seat'' for the impress ment of Ainericaa citizens; and when Americau commerce was coasid- red a legitimate ol ject of pi rat age by Great Britaia. Historv fails to note a si.'gle event w heu the American na Uouwu in trouble, either on account of dissensions, or foreign complica tions that, Great Britain has not dclib era'eiy attempted to couliscite our commerce. l'eb 1 guns had not yet opened upon Fort Sampter in '01 when British intrigue was on foot to confis cate and pilfer American commerce, stab our national credit and destroy us as a nation. Even before the rccoguition of the Southeru States as beligeren's, ia May 1861, the English government submit ted the second, third, and fourth arti cles of the celebrated Declaration of Paris alike to th3 United States and Confederate Government, having taken stepi lirst, to permit the Cou'ed eraoy to accept three of those article excepting the abolition of Privateering from the list. Our readtrs will remember how Mr. Seward was suubhed and insulted by Lord Johu Bu9sell wheu he (Mr. Sew ard) signified the willingnoss of our government to accept the whole of the Paris treaty which abolished Privateer ing on the h:srh seas, thus placing Am erican commerce at the mercy of the Confederate cruisers. Discussing this subject, Mr. Blaine speaks as follows O'l page 579 of the first vulutne of his Twenty Years of Congress: j "fhe motive of England aud France in this extraordinary negotiation with the Confederacy is plain. Th right of privateering was not left untouched except with deep design. By securing the assent of the Confederacy to the uther three articles of the Paris Con vention, 6afety was assured to British and French cargoes under the Ameri can flag, while every American cargo was at risk unless protected by a For eign flag generally the flag of Eng land It would have been impossible to invent a process more gaiuful to British commerce, more harmful to American commerce. "While the British and French Con suls were conducting this negotiation with the Confederate Stat s, the Brit ish and French Ministers were conduct ing another to ihe same purpose with ihe United States. Finally Mr. Seward offerei to waive the point maJe by Secretary Matey mnuy years before at j the da'e of tli Declaration, and to a :- ! Cfp tht four Hitichv- or the IVri f'oa- j vent ion pure aud Rimpie. But f;Ja coiild not !-j d-rs r-rfi;u?e the Con'e I erate States i uA r.ot e;;ti 'i th" i:r t : article abo'iMiin Piivat tr:n ur! h r ' Privateers must ihen!' re ie reo--! nizetl. En! ud and Fr.u.cc used .h:s fact as a pretext fvr at ; lv dec) in- '. ing to I't r'nit t!ie H(f --"on of the I United Srt.o, on i; . rent hk-t- ; time powers ot the worV, t trtv-ty ; which was proclaimed l. bt a vi-. uud : humane imp - vement of the old an i ; harsh law of nations and to which in i former years the United States had ' been inuct earnestly invited to give her j iteiit. Tnis course throws a flood of light on t he clandestine corres ondence with 'he Confederacy, and pljinly ex poses the reasons why it was desired that the right of Privateering should be left open to the Confederal cr. Through that instrumentality great harm could be inflicted on tie United States, and at the same time England could be guarded against a cotton fam ine. To accomplish these ends she ne gotiated what was little less than a hostile treaty with an Insurgent Gov ernment. This action was initiated before a single battle was fought, and was evidently intended as encourage ment and inspiration to the Confeder ates to persist in their revolutionary proceedings against the Government of the United States." Thus we assume thatGre;t Britain, conse'ous cf her treacherous aud un friendly conduct in the past, as a see- on i and pot'-nt reason, dreads to see American interests builded up under the control and guidance of a states man who so thoroughly understands the unfriendliness and treacherous self is tines? of our great temmercial rival. And while t'.it re is no doubt but these are the preat reasons why Englaod dreads Blaine and American prosperity, there also is no doubt, but that, these E iglish objectioBS are potent reason why loyal, zealous Americans should strive to place Mr. Blaine at the head of American affairs. STREET IMPROVEMENT. The Hekald takes it upon i!?-lf to remind our honorahlo city drtds that grading and filling upon our t-trrets is j only time ard treat ure wasted unless j proper precautions are taken to pro j te;t them lrom the water shed irom our Plattsmouth hills. It is a very essy matter to turn the water from M in street on the High School hill, both to the north and south, instead of attempting to conduct it to the river yia the entire length ot Main street a has heretofore been done. We have witnessed many other I streets iu our city upon which work hs I been done and money expended, wash- j ed out and ruined tdmply for the want 1 of a few hours' work iu ordinary drain age. - Also we notice the city is very prop- erly having the contractors, who are moving the dirt uj on Oen'l Livingston and Mr. Wettsncamp s lots, waste their material on'IVarl between 6th and Seventh street, making that street higher than the surface of Richcy's lumber yard, from tlu-ir lumber office to Patterson's livery stable. Anyone can readily see, at a glance, that unless waterways are placed under this grade, leading into the Chicago avenue sewer. which rnus along the entire south side of this work, it will all wash out the first heavy rain we haye, as the entire rain fall south of Main fctrett and be tween 6th and 8th btreets must find its outlet over ids piece of work. A few dollars and low hour woik would place this piece of low ground tn gooi con dition and make it, in the future, a good passable street vsbieh it h.-.s never been in times past. The IIekald ksUts that il is due the tax payer and in his interest, that, this street work be done in nn intelli gent and economical manner. Now ia is the time for our '84 city government to inaugurate a sensible f-ytem of street work. THE CCOMLET AND THE WAVE LET, An independent wavelet rushed into the arms of a Cleveland boomlet the other morning, as that individual was pointing for the Bullalo station. "Waither hence, auJ why?" sobbed the wavelet. "Out of my way," boomed the boom let, "I'm oil for the woods aud don't ou forget it." "Off to the woods" muimured the wavelet, "well that ia too decidedly utter for our forces who are trying to organize the campaign on hiyh, moral grounds." "lliyh, moral grounds!" b- o.i e 1 the boomlet savagely, edging sioewuys to ward the station, "ay, my w. ary fel low traveler through this cr.iel vale of tears, don't you go to -raining Old Har ry' riphl iu the immediate home of Grover, and ronso up the 'widdy Ital pia' aagin wilh your moral rant.
