regarded Mr. H. W. Beecher as the son of the celebrated Dr.
Beecher, u the brother of Mrs. Beecher Stowe-as a gentle-
man or • minister, or an uncompromising champion of
human rigida, he was entitled to the respect of all Eng-
lishmen, and to a patient and respectful bearing. This was
the more necessary, as the telegraphic accounts of his
speeches in America had not conveyed Mr. Baschees full

yens dieseling mealy-mouthed wordsof patriarchal institu-
tions, and called slavery by its right name, and now he had
converted to his views • large majority of those who had
formerly been opposed to him. (Cheers.) Whim Christian
wakens asserted that the institution of slavery was
patriarchal, Mr. Beecher truly retorted that it was bred in
the bottomless pit. (Chests, and cries of "Beecher.") He
(the ebeimisa) respected him for his manliness, and looked
epos him as • standard by which every true friend of
liberty might well messore Mmeelf. (Cheers.)
The Rev. H. W. Baro==n then came forward, and was
received with loud and reiterated cheering, mingled with some
stray sibilance from a knot of some half-a-dosen
persoos at the back part of the meeting. He maid-

when I remember that I oame hi afterwards to build on

The reverend gentleman then briefly stated the subjects of
the lectures which be delivered at Manchester, Glasgow,
Edinburgh, and Liverpool. and eintieued :-The great woo-
fing between the North and the South when we began this
1 war was, which should control the government of the
[ terviteries-dave institutions or free institutioss. That wee
'the coed ict. It was not emancipation or no emancipation.
The government bad no business with the gumption.
The only thing the government could joie issue
on was, shalt the national Policy be free or slave.
And I call you to witness the forbearance sod integrity of
the North. During a period of 80 years the North, whose
wrongs are not from their lips but from the lips of their
enemies, has respected the toed rights of the States, eves
though they were mare civil rights and contrary to moral
not. (Cheers.) The fidelity of the North to the greet
doctrine of State rights, her forbearance under Jesuit and
provocation, her reluctance to meddle with au evil which
she hated, and her determination to hold feat to the coesti-
tudoe, are worthy of something better than • oontemptusias
mew or the allegation of /neurons national vanity.
(Cbseem) Northern forbearance is one of those thins of
which we may be justly proud. (Cheers.) It is • product
of principle. an effort of ninety, and I am proud to say that
there is such a record of national fidelity. It was for this
the North went to war. It produced emancipation, but she
went to war to save Rational institutions, to save territories,
to save those laws which if allowed to act through a series I
of pun would infallibly-first circumscribe, then suffocate,
and dully destroy slavery. Thin is the reason why that truly
honest, just, and conscientious magistrate, Mr. Lunde

fail from much speaking, but my fear is now changed, that
your voice will change from much speaking. (Laughter.)
How did the matter pass to • cooffict with the South in
place of a direct attack upon the institu-
tion' of slavery itself ! Because in an ill-advised
hoer, sooordiag to the foreshadowing of the
enlist men of the South,' they mixed Abe national govern.

the government itself and slavery. We were content to
wait the bens, as one of policy, bat when they threw down
the gauntlet and said slavery shall be established and
extended, we could not do any other than accept the chal-
lenge. (Cheers.) The polies have no right to Interfere with

dent looped his pro thin for political effect, and not
from humanity. (Hear, hear.) Why the act of issuing the
proclamation was political, but the disposition to do it was
oot. (Cheers.) Mr. Lincoln is an officer of the State, and
in the presidential chair has no more right to follow his
prints feelings than any one of your judges has a right to
follow his private feelings on the bench. A judge is bound
to administer the law, but whim be sees that a rigid Wed-
-1 nistratioe of the law goes with purity of justice, with hums-
softy, sad with pity, he is all the wore glad, because
his private feelings go with his public duties.
