DIALOGUE.

H. (An English gentleman of great respectability, a teem-
dear fellow, you know I wish per-
ber of the Carlton)—My
dition here and hereafter to all Yankees; but did you not
begin this infernal row?
S. (a Southern agent)—Of course we did. Everything
was at stake. A scoundrel of the old country scattered
books up and down the States against Gigmanity. He
preached the doctrine of the old Scotch ploughman, " A
maw, a man for a' that." He canted about a judgment
of God which came upon the French nobles of the last cen-
tury for denying that doctrine. Certain fools at the North
fancied he was in earnest. They believed what he told them,
and said that they should act upon. Idiot parsons went
so far as to say that the words we Use on Sunday about
a person who was put to (Leath as a slave being • the
corner-stone of the universe were true. What could we
do ? It was a matter of life and death. We raised the
shoot for Gigmanity. We affirmed that slavery itself, not
the person who suffered the death of the slave, was the
corner-stone of the universe. These are our watchwords.
In this cßuse, and not, as some foolish friends of ours re-
present, to vindicate our right to hire our servauts for life,
we have drawn the sword and flung away the scabbard.
11. (much affeitcd)—Erave and noble men Champions
of our interests al well as your own I You have not been
oraetly the friencki of England. But we feel that we may
e
embrace y' uas ours. Let us join solemnly in drinking tb
toast, "The Cause of Gigmanity and Slavery, civil u
re-
ligious, all the world over.'

Viscount Palmerston still lingers in town, though
it i 3
understood the knotty political problem of the
day was solved, so far as our Government is concerned, at
the last Cabinet. Indeed our Foreign Secretary has already
taken his departure for his shooting-lodge in Scotland.
The Premier, the Home Secretary, the Duke of Somerset,
and cue or two other Ministers still haunt the metropolis.
