Mr. E. 0. GREENING, one of the hon. secretaries, read an address of the executive committee congratulating the members and friends of the association on the auspicious termination. of their labours. Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH, who was loudly cheered on rising, delivered an address " Upon the Civil War in America." He commenced by remarking that although the time had not yet arrived when an impartial history of the struggle could be written, we might hope to understand its real im port and the real consequence of the victory, and to read as far as mortal eyes might read the counsels of Providence in this the great event of oar ago. In sketching the rise of slavery, the speaker remarked that the demon, having gained a foothold, towered up in colossal strength and laid his terrible hand on the moral life of the American people. As Northern society was in its structure and principles essentially Christian, so Southern society was as essentially anti-Christian, and at the same time and for the same rea sons, essentially barbarous ; though it might profess, and even unctuously profess, a belief in a Christian creed ; though it might keep a Christian clergy to preach slavery ; though, perhaps, if secession had won the day, it would have had an established church to support the slave prin ciple. (Loud cheers.) In its slave code it denied the fun damental essentials of Christianity, and it was based upon cruelty. It denied to its victims all conditions alike of moral and intellectual manhood; it denied them what the worst of heathen slave states had not denied them--the hope of emancipation. For the purposes of rapacity and crime this slavery was systematically effacing the image of the Maker from millions of human beings, although amidst even religious professions and prayers. (Cheers.) Pretending to set intellect free from manual toil, and direct it to higher ends, it produced no intellectual fruits what ever, except the statecraft, the sole object of which was to extend and propagate slavery. It could not produce intel lectual fruits because tho noble aspirations which led to the discovery of truth could not deal with brutality and injus tice. No doubt there had been lavish hospitality, which had brought golden words from those who shared it in the houses on Southern plantations, as there always was where prodigality was fed by tho sweat of another man's brow. (Cheers.) No doubt the graces and blandishments of South ern ladies often won their admiration, as was the case with the Roman ladies who saw their slaves crucified. The patriotism of the North was the patriotism of a Christian community, the patriotism of the South was that of a heathen republic. In the political field slavery found an organisa tion ready made for it, a weapon prepared for its band in the democratic party. Washington and his friends fought, as Englishmen had, for the Great Charter, but there was another party, of which Jefferson was the leader—an off shoot, not of English patriotism, but of FrenchJacobinism. This party made war in 1810, and carried into power Gen. Jackson, the American counterpart of the Dantons of the French revolution. Never had the name of democracy been more abused than by its connection with this party. (Cheers.) The churches of the wealthier class, thinking no doubt that so long as they held fast of orthodoxy they might lot morality go—(cheers)—or rather, because they had no real faith in them, but only a traditional creed, bowed under hypocritical professions of political neutrality to the dominant iniquity of the hour. If there was a con stitutional right of secession, of which no trace whatever could be seen in the articles of constitution, this was not the exercise of that right. (Hear, hear.) But it might be answered there was a natural right of rebellion. That there was a natural right of rebellion against hopeless tyranny, for the purpose of recovering freedom, he ad mitted—(hear, hear)—but he did not admit that there was a natural right of rebellion against a free government, in which no grievance was hopeless, for the purpose of making the great masses of its people slaves for ever. The negro labourers in the South had no part in the secession which was to rob them of their last hope of emancipation. They were entitled to the protection of the State ; so were the white people. How, on the whole, did the North bear itself in this war? How did its love of law, its patriotism and humanity endure the severest test which can be ap plied to the character of a nation ? The answer to this question was as important as the actual issue of the war. There would be "anarchy" —so said that wisdom which was wise by precedents, and which in choosing its prece dents was guided by its passions. (Laughter and cheers.) Never, through the whole of the conflict, fiercely as the passions of parties were inflamed at the North, was public order seriously disturbed, except by the savage Irish at New York, and on that occasion it was quickly seen that there was force enough on the side of order, and that the belief in the omnipotence of the New York mob, however time-honoured, was not true. (Laughter.) He witnessed himself the last presidential election. No occasion could be more trying to the self-control of the people. He had said before, and repeated now, that the day passed off like an English Sabbath. (Cheers.) Of tyranny of opinion no doubt there was too much in America, and wherever else human nature had not yet learnt the highest of moral lossons—perfect respect for conscientious difference of opinion. But the tyranny of opinion in America, in the midst of a dangerous civil war, appeared to him very like the freedom of opinion which other Aountries enjoy in time of perfect peace. After the " anarchy" there was of course to be "military despotism." Yet not a shadow of military despotism fell on the scene, not a thought of trea son—so far as appeared—ever entered a general's mind ; and when, on a single occasion, a victorious commander stepped beyond a general's province and entered upon po litical negotiations, his soldiers, though he was their idol, showed at once, that they had been citizens before they were soldiers. (Hear, hear.) Those soldiers, as had been justly remarked, had been readers, and when men were readers it was difficult to use them as pra3torians or Zouaves. (Cheers.) The fears, natural as they were, of the predominance of the militarispirit and the ascendancy of the military over the civil power, had so far proved totally unfounded ; the ascendancy of the civil over the military power had, on the contrary, been maintained in a manner very memorable and full of comfort. Gen. Grant had been foremost in reducing the standing army, and by his noble avoidance of military pomp and everything that might inflame a military spirit, done his utmost to preven t the advent of sabre sway. (Cheers.) The American Pre sident became almost a dictator during the war. At all times the power of the President was greater than was commonly supposed. If the constitutions of England and America were compared with regard to their forms and sub stance, that of America would be found to approach more nearly to a popular elective monarchy, and that of England to an aristocratic republic. Yet how few had been the errors in the exercise of authority; and those who declaimed on the fickleness of democracy might be challenged to produce from history an instance of a government so supported and obeyed through such trials and reverses. It had been said that the armies of the North were "hirelings." There were foreigners in the army no doubt who, unlike many whom we employed in the Crimea, were striving to make the country they served their honie—(choors)—but that the mass were American husbandman, woodsmen, and artisans, the world must begin to believe, now it was seen they returned to the plough and the axe, the work shop, and the loom. Referring to the manifestations of opinion and sympathy in England, the speaker said the Conservatives must not think that they could sancti on violence till the law was settled in their own favour, and thenceforth permit it no more. They would find that vio lence had let in subversion of law, that the party which, in the long run, had most reason to dread the inroads of physical force was that which, in the long run, had not physical force on its side. When that strange epilogue of the civil war—the Jamaica massacre—was about to become the subject of a party contest, it could not bo forbidden to PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. ask whether the nobility which cast in its lot with slave holders was a nobility indeed—(loud and continued cheers) —really transcending in nobleness the natures of ordinary men, so that the world still needed it aneiE• must maintain it as the - type of exalted humanity and cynosure of honour, or whether the day was not arrived.when society must let chivalry rest with the dust of the Crusaders, and take up with homely justice. Nor could it be forbidden to ask whether it was well to let the state impose on us spiritual guides, when, in a most manifest contest between good and evil, they almost unanimously took the side of evil ; and, after going up to their pulpits to preach a religion of purity and mercy, came down to stand with atheist sciolism in defence of slavery. (Cheers.) The sympathies of our privileged classes in this matter had been but natural and inevitable, and would scarcely have deserved or excused one bitter word, had they only said frankly they desired the downfall of institutions. opposed to their own, instead of talking about sympathy for the weak, and respect for national independence, and anxiety for the triumph of free trade. (Laughter and cheers) Mr. Goldwiu Smith concluded by noticing the influence of this association upon English opinion, and rejoiced that its last words might be looking at the inevitable results of the conflict—" Slavery is dead everywhere, and for ever." (Enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. G. S. LEFEVRE, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Goldwin Smith, and Dr. SANDWITI seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud cheers.

A PARTY SNOWED-UP.—On Thursday week (the morning of Forwood's execution) several vehicles lef t Faversham for Maidstone. One containing a party of four commenced its return journey about 4 o'clock, and on ap proaching Stockbury stuck fast in the'road at a spot where the snow which had fallen during the day and the pre vious night had accumulated to the depth of five or six feet. Seven other vehicles were also stopped by the snow at the same place. The horses were extricated, but the carriages had to be left and dug out the following day. — South Eastern Gazette. Henry J.

The conflict between the principles of Protection and Free Trade in America dates back to the formation of the Union itself, for the Nor thern States then exacted certain monopolies in trade and commerce as the price of their consent to Southern de mands in regard to labor. While, in. after years, the South steadfastly subordinated all questions to the main idea of preserving and extending its peculiar institution, the North was equally pertinacious in pressing its system of economics upon the country, nun in building up for its own benefit huge manufacturing and trading monopolies. This condition of affairs might have continued to exist even beyond the present tine but for the entrance of a new actor upon the scene. The states lying west of the Alleghenies were comparatively unimportant and power less until within the past fifteen years ; but European immigration and the unceasing outpour from the Eastern and Southern States have at length given them a nu merical preponderance over the other sections, and a con sequent majority in Congress. The, motives which induced the Western States to commence hostilities with the South were similar, but not precisely identical with those which actuated their allies cast of the Alleghenian range. The same passionate veneration for the Union in fluenced both sections alike ; but while the latter opposed Slavery on abstract grounds, the North-West felt the • tyranny of the institution, and resolved to destroy it as the nearest and most oppressive of monopolies. Having crushed Southern monopoly in labour, the West turns its forces against other monopolies eLsewhere. The war between the South and its Eastern and Western op ponents is concluded, another contest has already com menced, wherein the South and West will be firmly allied against the monopolies and protective policy of the Eastern States, and the late Message of President Josessos is the declaration of war inaugurating this new campaign. The two paragraphs in the centre of the Message protesting, in the PRESIDENT'S own words, against "monopolies, perpe tuities, and class legislation," express the feelings and wants of that action of the Union to which Mr. jortssost politically belongs; and they have called forth the appro val of his "Western fellow-citizens in a higher degree, per haps, than any other portion of his Message. In thus stating the present position of parties in the United States, I am not " taking sides" with or against any section, geographical or political. The ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES, I believe, regards the Union as "one and indivi " Bible," and it designs to avoid in its columns, as far as possible, the use of such terms as " East," "South," and " West." But the existence of these sectional divisions cannot be ignored while laying down the proportions of the politico-economic revolution now commencing in the United States. This task might have been left to your English contemporaries, but the press of Great Britain seems resolved to ignore the existence of any portion of the Union west of the Alleghenies. There are three "centres" in the American Republic, three capitals as it were :—Washington, the political ; New York, the com mercial; and Chicago, the centre, or representative, of pro duction. During the war, the correspondents of the English press, with a single exception, avoided the scene of active operations, and compiled their let ters front the reports of American newspapers, or from such " hearsay" evidence as they could pick up in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston—that is to say, hundreds of miles away from the nearest battlefield. And this same policy continues to be pursued by them. Repre sentatives of the English press in America confine their investigations to the comfortable and easily accessible cities above-mentioned, while they almost ignore the ex istence of Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati; a policy tantamount to regarding Liverpool, Dublin, and Glasgow as the' chief representatives of English interests, and taking small account, if any, of London, Manchester, and Birmingham. While this short-sighted system con tinues, Englishmen must expect to be kept in almost total ignorance of a country and people with whose prosperity their own is so vitally connected. The Western States are complaining that by the incon siderate "class-legislation" of the older Northern States and the incubus of local monopolies, the vast and fruitful regions bordering the Father of Waters and his many tributaries, have hitherto lost the advantages which ought to accrue from superior fertility of soil, excellence of Climate, and greater population. The grievances of the West, in fact, aro of the most practical and easily under stood character, and they necessitate a radical amendment at xo very distant date. To use the words of the Chicago Tribune-the most influential organ of the press in the great West—" When a farmer has to give three bushels of corn to send one to market a distance of ono hundred miles; one hundred bushels to get a pair of boots; one thousand bushels to obtain a suit of clothes ; or two tons of corn for a too of coal, it is time for him to look around and see what is the matter." The system maintained by railroad and steamboat corporations is followed in Con gress itself, and, to a great extent, by the Federal Govern ment. The Comptroller of the Treasury recommends in his late annual report that Congress should pass a law compelling all the National Banks in the Union to redeem their bills, in what ho calls " the great commercial and financial centres of the country—New York, Philadephia, and Boston." Should this advice ho followed, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and ether Western cities, will re ceive a sudden check to their prosperity; for the points of redemption being distant a thousand miles, Western bankers will be forced to keep a largo proportion of their funds in the far East, to the manifest detriment of the manufacturers, producers, and traders in the region of the great lakes and the Mississippi Valley. The like system of "class legislation" and "monopoly" has been carefully followed in the appointment of Congressional committees, Western representatives being excluded, as a rule, frem fair participation in those important branches of legisla tion, and yet the Eastern States are merely the factors and - agents of that section of the Union which is building up Eastern prosperity and supplying a largo portion of the outer world with tho means of existence. Such a condi tion of affairs cannot possibly continuo ; and the agitation now prevailing in the regions of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers, presages a very early and radical settle ment of this long-standing injustice. Tho policy of the Western States on this question will bo the subject of a future communication to your columns. I confine myself to-day to the mere statement of the grievances alleged, and would add in this connec tion that tho interests and aims of the South are identical with those of the West upon this issue. Both sections are producers and consumers, and they have a common into rest in selling their produce at the lowest rate in all markets, and in buying in the cheapest. A large number of respectable young men from all parts of England are emigrating to New York in the numerous steamers which aro now plying between various English ports and the United States. This exodus appears to have arisen in consequence partly of the ease with which Now York can be reached from England, and from the accounts constantly received of the 'wealth of the United States, and the scope there for enterprise. ESTIMATE OF PROPABLE COTTON SUPPLY. Messrs. Ellison and Heywood, cotton brokers, Liverpool, have issued their monthly cotton report, and annual review of the cotton -market for 1865. It is a document of great length, very elaborate in its treat ment of every point interesting to the trade, and the lateness of its appearance is accounted for by the great research which was necessary for the accurate compilation of such a document, some of the facts em braced in it having to be waited for till the last moment before publication. The following extracts give an estimate of the probable supply of cotton : " The new year opens with the promise of a healthier and more remunerative trade than has been experienced for several years past. The doubt and uncertainty that still surround the future of supply will tend to repress ex cessive speculation, and lead to a cautious and steady legi timate business. As to supply, wo look for a moderate increase upon the total import of 1865 ; less from the Mediterranean, but more from other quarters. We are yet so completely in the dark as to the quantity of cotton remaining in the Southern States that any estimate of supply from America must be more than usually conjec tural. We have assumed 800,000 bales, but should not be surprised to see that figure exceeded. Muchwill depend upon the amount of the next crop and the proportion which wo shall receive before the close of the present year. The stimulus of high prices, and the proverbial energy of tho American people, will, perhaps, produce a larger yield than seems at present to be generally anticipated, yet one that will fall very far short of the requirements of the world, and therefore render any important decline from present rates improbable. The monetary disturbances of the past year, and the high prices of cereals have exercised a pre judicial influence upon the Indian crop, more grain and less cotton having been put into the ground than in the previous season. But we have about 160,000 bales more afloat than at this time last year, and which, but for the great depression experienced in the spring, would have been shipped in time to have been included in the import of 1865, we think it highly probable that the import of 1866 will reach from 1,250,000 to 1,300,000 bales, against 1,266,000 bales last year—due allowance being made fur shipments to China. Should the arrivals from America show any important excess upon our estimate, no doubt prices would be depressed, and the shipments from India T curtailed, as was the case last year. The Egyptian crop accounts are very unfavourable. Opinion differs as to the probable deficiency, com pared with the yield o f l ast year; some authorities place it as high as 50 per cent., others as low as five - and - twenty per cent. Taking the least unfavourable view of the matter, Great Britain's share of the crop would be about 250,000 bales, against 331,000 bales. A similar reduction for Turkey, w h e nce the advicos aro equally discouraging, would give us 60,000 bales, against 80,000 bales. From the Brazils the news is very cheering, and we anticipate an import thence of about 100,000 bales more than last year—say, 440,000 bales, against 340,000. The West Indies, Peru, and miscellaneous sources will most likely send us 150,000 bales, against 131,000 bales. NEW NOVEL BY TIIE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX."
