I'HE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1565.

t:ve are some of the speeches that one might natu-
rally suppose their tempers to be soured by finding
" Othello's occupation gone," and the profit-
able and plausible advocacy of the negro
taken out of their hands. There is sufficient work
to employ two or three generations of philanthro-
pists still on the negro's behalf, in instructing him,
in finding him profitable and suitable employment,
and in striving to lift him out of the degraded con-
dition to which long years of tyranny and ill usage
have reduced him. Such work, however practically
useful, will not serve for display on the platform or
in the Congress ; there is no opportunity for violent
passions and uncompromising denunciation of poli-
tical adversaries. It is therefore less acceptable to
some of the abolitionists than the thunder against
the wickedness of slavery in the abstract. But as time
goes on, it is to be hoped that these angry partisans
will cease to exercise so conspicuous an influence on
public affairs. It is said that Mr. JOHNSON is wait-
ing to learn how the public regards his recent con-
ciliatory measures before he proceeds to further
pardons, and especially to the release of JEFFERSON
DAVIS. He has given a good test in the release of
Mr. STEPHENS, the Vice-President of the Confede-
racy, but one remove from DAVIS himself, and he
has also promptly pardoned Governor HUMPHREYS,
notwithstanding his having been actively engaged
in the Confederate service. It is so far satisfactory
to learn from the news brought by the City
of London, dated down to the 21st ult.,
that both a Democratic and a Republican
meeting had been held in New York, both
endorsing President JOHNSON'S reconstruction
policy, though of course differing in their other
views. What the Congress will say on the treat-
ment of the South is the great question. Mr.
JOHNSON has shown every willingness to receive
Confederates, and to hear their statements and
wishes, and this is the only way in which he can
arrive at anything like an accurate idea of the con-
dition and temper of the Southern people. Mr.
Stephens was admitted to an interview before leav-
ing for Georgia. Governor STARKEY, who has
proved himself to be a firm and capable adminis-
trator in the affair of the militia, has been elected
senator from Mississippi. The Fenians have fallen
somewhat into contempt in the States. The Yan-
kees are too shrewd a people to be imposed upon
by the bombast about Ireland and her oppressors.
There is a somewhat suspicious circumstance about
the leaders of this heroic and patriotic movement,
and that is their anxiety to keep up the subscrip-
tions. " Give all you can," is the perpetual cry.
" Every dollar is of value," and so on, but the
more intelligent Americans are for the most part
divided between amusement and annoyance as they
watch these very transparent appeals. The bonfire
must soon burn itself out, -especially as the priests
and all who possess an influence over these too ex-
citable Hibernians exert it to the utmost against
Fenianism. Still there remain a good many who are
carried away by the vague enthusiasm of the move-
ment. It seems, however, that the Fenian Congress
has resolved to startle the world by a grand coup.
An important secret measure is said to have been
decided on ; and, of course, as a necessary prelimi-
nary, a large amount of funds has been promised,
the delegates subscribing half a million dollars,
though whether in hard cash, greenbacks, or in
verbal promises is not exactly stated. The Federal
officers, aecording to Fenian accounts, are consoling
themselves for the forced inaction of peace by

joining the Fenians.
Mr SEWARD has been making a speech, in which
he says that the President would conduct the settle-
ment of national claims with foreign nations with-
out Compromising the national dignity and honour.
Further, he informs us that he expects to see
Republican institutions all over the American. con-
tinent " vindicated, renewed, and regenerated," a
process of which some of them certainly stand
greatly in need! When this is done he will turn
his attention to other continents ; so that, seeing
ge oracle has spoken, we European pigmies may
rejoice that the Transatlantic giant has at present
rather more than he can manage in settling his own
affairs.

The Representat'on of Tiverton,

TIVERTON, Monday.

This afternoon the Hon. G. Denman arrived by
the express train, and was met at the station by a
large number of the inhabitants of the town. The
workpeople at the extensive factory had a holiday,
and the operatives turned out and gave the hon.
gentleinan an enthusiastic reception. Previous to
his arrival he issued an address, in which he said :
" The event which has plunged all England into mourn-
ing has created a vacancy in the representation of your
borough. It is with a profound sense of responsibility
that, upon a vacancy so caused, and with the requiem notes
of the great departed statesman still echoing through the
land, I venture again'to address you, and to become a can-
didate for your suffrages. I should not presume to take
this step bad I not solid grounds for believing that, not-
withstanding my recent defeat at the general election, my
services may now be acceptable to the majority of your
body. I have so recently had a full opportunity of stating
my opinions to you that it would be superfluous now to
recapitulate them. I have stated them frankly and fully,
and shall again be ready to do so on all occasions. I shall,
if elected as your representative, be prepared to give the
Government of Lord Russell my hearty support so long as
their measures shall be in accordance with those Liberal
principles in which I believe. I shall resist to the best of
my power all attempts from within or from without to
weaken that Government by prematurely disparaging their
strength or their merits before they have even had the
opportunity of proposing to Parliament those measures by
which, and by which alone, they are entitled to be judged."
In company with Mr.' F. Holl, the chairman of
the late Lord Palmerston's committee and the Pre-
mier's friend of many years' standing, the Hon G.
Denman and a largenumber of the principal trades-
men of the town assembled at the Three Tuns, in
front of which a vast crowd was assembled.

Mr. DENMAN was warmly received on appearing
at the window. He commenced by alluding in feel-
ing and eloquent terms to the loss which the borough,
the nation, and the world had sustained in the death
of Lord Palmerston. He was ready, although with
diffidence, to offer himself as a candidate to fill the
vacancy caused by the noble lord's death, and as
there were three months yet to come before there
would be an election, ample opportunities would be
afforded to the other side if they wished to bring for-
ward a candidate to oppose, him. He hoped, how-
ever, that if they did so they would give them (the
Liberal party) fair notice of it, so that the battle
might be fairly fought. (Cheers.) They well knew
his political principles, and there he need not say
much about them, except that he was still firmly at-
tached to civil and religious toleration, to freedom
of speech and cf thought, of which the late Lord
Palmerston was so good an exponent in the eyes of
foreign nations. (Cheers.)
Mr. F. nom.. addressed a few words of congra-
tulation to the assembly, and it then dispersed.
Although it was stated in The Sun of Saturday
that the Conservatives were making an effort to
bring forward a candidate, it is believed that they
will not do so, and that Mr. Denman will have a
walk over. Many of the Conservatives, it is under-
stood, disapprove any opposition to the hon. gentle-
man.
