THE AMERICAN QUESTION-A FRENCHMAN &

M. Henri Martin, the distinguished historian of

ber of his eontrymee, during the meetings of the Social
Moos Association, has published his impreseions of the

tog the old town with the new. Lastly, and above all, the
superb basaltic mass of Arthur Seat—a great rock 700 fen
in height, overlooking the city, the country, and the sea.
There is not, in point of picturtique beauty, any city in
Europe trial to it, nor, perhaps, in the world. Superior as
to its picturtaque site to the city of the Seven Bills, Edinburgh
shares with Rome this anion, which is no common one,
that if everything is not absolutely beautiful, nothing is
absolutely commonplace. . . . .
"Gnat Britain presents a singular spectacle. The upper

by old tradition of policy, are almost entirely for the South

States. The popular clam= Influenced by the sentiments
of justice, by the purely moral sentiment, are almost
entirely for the North. It is • marked contest between
Tenoning (I do not say reason) and sentiment. The friends
of the South ban leas courage in expressing their opinions
than then of the North. A meeting in the interest of the
South was lately called at Sheffield—the centre of
an industrial population of 200.000. A hundred
persons collected, and amongst that hundred some
tame only to oppose. . . . . M. Gamier Pages
and I had wished to express in • few words ear
seutimente as Frenchmen at the antislavery
ealled for Mr. Beecher; but the crowd had already
lined in each • deaso mass at all the entrances of the great
ball that it was imperil& for us to eater. We were
obliged to contest onnelvem with oar good intestine, and
to remain minded with bearing outside the nosemall
thunders of applause called forth by the abrupt and bold
eloquesom of an orator who neither canines nor flatten his
audience, but who stirs it like • billowy son . . .
"In • word, the MOOING of the tans was immense. All
this is very miguilleativa. Sian then Henry Beecher has
bad the nurse* to beard the lion in his den, the Southern
party in Liverpool, the oily large tows where the South
seems really to have the majority, and where commerce and
shipping have unlined the balance to its side. Mr.
Beecher spoke there in the midst of a tempest; bat he
ruled the tempest ;he compelled the public to hear him.
Why cannot Mr. Beecher come to Paris or to Lyons! He
learn what, France is, and he might satisfy himself
that amongst us public opinion is not in favour of then
who armed the Florida. We have not yet acquired the
right of holding free public meetings ; but we shall come Ito
that, if it plena God."
