ways, if not very valuable, at least as much so as ours, have 

 shown their sympathy and desire to assist our common breth 

 ren struggling for freedom on the Continent ; since the lynch 

 ing of the Butcher of Austria by the beer-men of Bankside, 

 and the general exultation of the British people over it ; since 

 the general intercommunication between the countries has been 

 made so much more frequent and speedy, and cheaper than it 

 used to be, the disposition of our people towards the British 

 has been much less suspicious, guarded, and quarrelsome than 

 it very naturally, if not very reasonably, was, until within a 

 few years. 



God grant that every tie grow constantly tighter that binds 

 us together to peace, and to mutual assistance and co-labour 

 for justice, for freedom, for the salvation of the world. If there 

 is any body who does not heartily say Amen to this, I com 

 mend him to Elihu Burritt ; and all who do, I call upon, from 

 him, to go to work for OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE so shall our 

 prayer not fail. (See Appendix, B.)
