LORD AMBERLZY ON TRZ ANZRICAN QIIZSTION.-
A public meeting was held is the Subscription Rooms, at
Stroud, on Friday evening, to express indignation at the
late aisamination, and sympathy with the American people.
There was a crowded audience, and great entliusisam and
usanimity prevailed. Lord Amberlay, in proposing a reso-
lution expressive of the feeling of the meeting, said if say-
thing can comfort the people of the United States at this
time of profound grief, I trust that they will derive some
consolation when they see the manner in which this sad in-
telligence has been received in Englead. There have been
tows is the course of this war when the prospects of the
Federal army were not quite so bnlliant se they are at pre-
sent. At enchltimes we may have thought it a most desperate
undertaking to condone in the attempt to effect the
restoration of the Union; but although I could not
tell in which way this war might .ad--although it
was impossible to say whether it might result in the sub-
jugation or in the separation of the South—yet it always
appeared to me that it would infallibly result in strength-
ening the power and adding to the greatness of the United
States, inasmuch as they would be delivered for ever from
the burden of a great injustice. (Cheers.) It is impossible
for any nation to continue in the perpetration of a gigantio
wrong without deriving from that wrong something of
weakness. (Bear hear.) Now that this consummation
is happily approaching,i we look with feelings of hope
towards the United States ; and if I might endea-
vour to interpret what I imagine to be not only the
feeling of this meeting but that of the oeentry in
general, I would say that there is mingled with that hope •
great deal of anxiety. (Hear, bear.) We are anxious lest
the people of the North should be led by the misguided
counsels of sanguinary men into anti of hostility and hatred
towards the Southern people. We trust that they will
continue to be animated by that love of humanity and that
kindlinss which is said to have characterised Abraham
Lincoln. (Cheers.) We trust that in all their dealing with
broken and humbled adversaries they will he actuated by no
spirit of hatred or revenge, but by one of mercy and for-
bearance. (Cheers.) They will have a great task before
them—the task of utterly extinguishing sad uprooting the
institution of negro slavery. That is one of the highest
duties that has ever false to the lot of any nation. (Hear,
hear.) The American people have had is this war to solve
an extremely difficult problem—the subjugation of the
South. They have succeeded in that, but they will have to
contend now with • problem which perhaps Is more difficult
still, that unhappy raw of Depose who have beau de-
i morally and intellectually, by so many years of
servitude, have aright to demand at their hands not only
emancipation, but also that education and those material
comforts which will enable them to use end wisely to enjoy
the blessings of liberty. (Cheers.) Thin will he a glorious
duty ; and I for my port cannot doubt that the people of
the United States will be fully adequate to its performance
—that they will perform it in • spirit of wise humanity sad
moderation and justios—and that having performed it they
will rise to • peonies even greater and higher than it Ina
ever been their lot to occupy among the nations of the civi-
lised world. (Load cheers.)
