that it mattered not whether this part of England's
policy was Tory or Liberal. We had seen during
the last few years Italy rise from her ashes, and
organise herself into a first-class constitutional
monarchy. The whole Liberal party of England
looked on with heartfelt sympathy and delight, and
the remonstrances of England induced Napoleon to
withdraw from Gaeta, and allow Naples to become
one with the kingdom of Italy. Yet the Conserva-
tive party, in both houses of Parliament and in the
Press, could not help displaying its profound dislike
to this great movement. Again, with regard to the
tremendous strife in North America, nothing could
exhibit greater divergence than the views taken of
that struggle by the English Liberals and Conser-
vatives. It was true, that with some exceptions,
both English parties had disapproved the conduct

of the North. The Liberals had condemned the
attempt of the North to subjugate the South,
partly from a love of peace, and partly because they
considered it a crime to thrust upon a nation, at the
bayonet's point, a Government which she ab-
horred ; but the Conservatives had sided with the
South, partly from a delight at seeing a Republic
torn asunder, partly from a notion that the South
was more aristocratic than the North, and partly
because slavery was not looked upon by Conserva-
tives with that detestation which it kindled in the
hearts of all true Liberals. Again, with regard to
Prussia, every Liberal in England had looked with
indignation on the endeavour made by the wretched
King of that country and his creature Count Bis-
mark, to crush the freedom of the Prussian people;
but the Tory Press gave Count Bismark all the
countenance it dared to bestow, and actually offered
the Prussians its solemn advice not to resist the
beneficent intentions of their patriotic King. One
would have thought that no Englishman could have
looked at the infamous atrocities of which Russia
had been guilty in Poland and not sympathise,
heart and soul, with the helpless Poles; and yet,
incredible as it might seem, even there the leaning
of the Tory party towards despotism made them
sympathise rather with the oppressors than with
the oppressed, and the Tory papers were filled with
every tale which could be scraped together to the
discredit of the Poles. He considered that England
should do to foreign nations as she would have
them do to her, and that in dealing with weaker
and less civilised nations she should exert as much

self-control as if treating with great European

nations, for, as Shakspeare said—
" 0, it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant."
Whatever course might for the moment appear to
gratify our irritation, cupidity, or pride, in the
long run it must be the prudent as well as the noble
policy cf England to be always found just, gene_
rous, and humane. (Cheers.)
