THL HUNGARIAN STRUGGLE.
MEETING AT STAFFORD.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
A numerous meeting of the burgesses of Stafford was
held in the County Hall in that to,vn last night, to ex-
press their sympathy with the Hungarian nation in their
present struggle against the Russians. The chair was
taken by the Mayor, James Tumock, Etq., at seven
o'clock. In opening the proceedings,
The MAYOR alluded to the particulars of the present
struggle, pointing out the reasons ss hy that nation hsd
a right to the sympathies of this country; and expressed
his pleasure in acceding to the requisition which had
been presented to him to hold this meeting.
The Rev. Mr. SPEERS came forward to move the first
resolution. The reason why this meeting, and such
meetings as these, he said, had been held, was not a de-
sire to meddle with the affairs of foreign nations, or to
interfere in continental wars, but the desire of England
was to see Europe in peace, and it was with reference to
this end that these expressions of public opinion, that
mighty engine which had been always so efficacious in
all great questions throughout the world, had been called
forth. The whole of the struggle on which they were
now called upon to express their opinion gave a II st de-
nial to the statements which had been circu-
lated so extensively and maliciously, that Hungary was
properly a province of Austria. Hungary had
always been independent, and thank God, always would
be independent of Austria, though for many centuries
that empire had done all it could to extinguish the Meer-
ties and freedom of the Hungarian nation.—(Hear, hear.)
This country was deeply interested in this struggle, for
if we refused to sympathise and to aid these brave men
in their efforts, what right had we to expect that we
should always be able to preserve cur liberties untouched
ageinst the attacks of despotism. He did not wish that
England should draw the sword in this struggle, she was
suffering too deeply at present from her inter-
ference in foreign wars, but what ho desired was
that England should teke advantage of her
moral right among the nations—a power for which
we must remember that Englishmen would one day havo
to be responsible—to effect that amelioration in the affairs;
of the world which it was her proper duty to do. He,
thought that if the chivalrous spirit of the Hungarian
nation were grafted upon the stock of European society
great benefit would accrue to Europe from that inter-
mixture. He was not such a lover of peace, although
ho detested war as much as any one, as to say that war
was the greatest evil. No; he thought that the crushing
of such a nation as the Hungarian, whose history was
full of so many stirring reminiscences, and so many
noble deeds, was a much greater evil than any war.
The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the following
resolution:—

SYMPATHY WITH THE HUN-

GARIANS AND ROMANS.

The following admirable speech was recently de-
livered at a meeting held at the Town-hall, Man-
chester, John Potter, Esq., Mayor, presiding :
The Rev. Dr. VAUGII AN, who on rising was warmly
received, said—" I am happy in being permitted to
take a part in the proceedings of this meeting. It
is not often that I can feel at liberty, as a minister of
religion, to connect myself very prominently with
these public expressions of opinion upon national or
international questions; but. I understand that our
object is peace and not war—(Hear, hear)—and I
have vows upon me, which require that, as far as in
me lies, I should be a man of peace. But in propor-
tion as I am a man for the use only of peaceful means
for the settling of disputes, I feel that I am bound only
the stronger to bring that class of means into the
most vigorous action.—(Cheers.) It is a very easy
thing to lament over the atrocities of war; but if we
mean that wiser and better agencies should accomplish
the work we intend, we are to look to it, that we
bring these agencies into the kind of play that may
accomplish that purpose. And now, sir, I cannot
prefess to be an adherent to what is called the peace
principle, to the extent of saying that the greatest of all
possible calamities is war. I do not believe it; I be-
lieve that there are greater calamities than that. I
believe at the same time that it is a dire extremity,
and that very few wars that have taken place on earth
will bear looking at for a moment in a moral aspect.
I feel that in proportion as I go far in that direction,
I ought to do my best to put discountenance on that
barbarian mode of settling disputes by a war of one
man against another, and that I should try to bring
in modes of adjusting these disputes—intellect with
intellect, heart with heart—that are proper to civilised
man. —(Applause.) Sir, I join with the gentleman
who proposed the resolution that I am called upon to
support, in expressing thanks to Lord Palmerston for
the manly English way in which be gave utterance to
a sublime truth—a truth that relates to the power thlt
public opinion may be made to take along with it.
Yes, sir; but if that public opinion is to be powerful,
in the same degree it must be proclaimed. It will
not be potent in the world whilst it is pent up in
men's breasts. It must have its proclamation as from
the house top, and in the open day. The evils it
has to counteract are abroad through the world,
stalking unmasked at noon, and if public opinion is
to counteract thse opinions, it must be then as un-
masked as they, and as little familiar with fear as
they—(Applause)—and it is a sublime truth that
public opinion should have this power in it. It is a
power of its own order, and it is without armies, it is
without constables, it is without authorities of an
artificial kind, of any sort; and yet, sir, its very
breath is law ; its very look is penalty the weakest
apparently of all powers, it is by God's Providence
the mightiest of all.—(Loud applause.) .If you ask
me how this comes about, I think I see a little vs ay
to an answer. A man may not care greatly about
being feared—there are proud men who like to be
feared ; he may not care greatly about being hated ;
but let him be despised—let him feel that he is loathed
—let him be obliged to admit that he is execrated by
the intelligence and virtue of man, and that, be sure
of it, will be torture to the very soul.—(Loud ap-
plause.) It is a wise and kindly provision of the
father of our nature that it should be so; that man
should not be placed in isolation and independence of
the sympathies and feelings of his fellow-man—that
he should be so constituted as to feel that the
contempt of his fellow-men is as gall and
wormwood to his nature. Now, this mighty en•
gine we have ; we are come together this day
to wield it ; and only let the contempt of this
great empire be aroused, so that it shall here
find unmistakeable expression, and I marvel much if
even Austrian pride is not made to cower before it;
I marvel if even Russian barbarism be found to be
wholly impervious to it; and as to French vanity,
that I am sure will be cut to the quick by it.—(Loud
applause.) But, sir, we have no right to expect that
our men its power will do the things we wish them
to do, except we take some such posture as we are
taking today, and allow it to be clearly seen that we
mean to hold them justified in their doings. We have
no right to expect that they will go into courts and
cabinets and speak decidedly there, it' meetings like
this do not speak decidedly at home.--(Hear, hear.)
It is to expect what is unreasonable to expect. I say,
therefore, that these men should be regarded by us as
powerful, in this intervention for the independence
and the separate rights of nations, only in proportion
as they can point to their back, and let it be seen that
there are millions of enlightened and free hearted
men, who have put them upon the work to plead for
these nations. Now, sir, I understand that it is our
object to-day to give a kind of moral authority and
power to the expostulation to the English Ministry,
on behalf of national independence and national free •
dom.—(Hear, hear.) But, sir, it may be said,
" Have you a case warranting this movement ?" I
think we have. I believe we have as strong a case
as could be culled out by the most skilful historian,
from the history of Europe for the last three hundred
years. The Hungarian people, whose condition has
especially moved us to this meeting, are a people
occupying a sort of border country between the eastern
world and western Europe ; and all border people
have had a restless life of it. They have been familiar
with peril, familiar with hardship, in fact, familiar
with everything that tends to make anything hut a
very silky people—that is, with everything that tends
to nurture men into hardihood, and to make them
thoroughly men. These Hungarians are the de-
scendents of those races who, two or three centuries
ago, formed the grand rampart between the then
towering force of the Turkish empire and the civili-
zation of Western Europe, and many a good fie.ht
did they maintain in these regions, to hurl back that
force and to shelter the European nations, our own
among the rest.—(Applause.) As a consequence of
this train of circumstances they have become, as es e
now find them, a people of much more than ordinary
amount of manly intelligence, self-reliance, and
energy. The Austrians (the Viennese especially),
being placed in circumstances where they could lean
upon the lap of power and indulgence, have, for the
most part, borne the fruit of such circumstances,
and are found to be effeminate, abject, and
feeble. In fact the history of these Hungarians,
as compared with the history of many other
countries, bears a striking resemblance to our
own. Yes, they have their Magna Charta, even as
we have ours; and what is more, seven years before
our English barons extorted that charter from the
English King, the Hungarians had their charter.—
(Applause.) The National Diet, thus secured, has
been in their history very much what our own
National Parliament has been in ours; and then their
local associations and authorities, inseparable from the
condition in which they were, as a people that must
have liberty, in order to be always up and ready to
act against a foe—these local institutions have nur-
tured them in political intelligence, being the schools
in which they have been educated, even as in our
own Anglo-Saxon experience. It is true that they
have been a part of the Austrian empire for some
time ; but they became a part of the Austrian empire
by compact, and not by conquest. They became a
part of that empire upon conditions which required,
that the Emperor of Austria, before he placed a
step upon that throne, should avow, in the presence
of the God of nations, that he would respect the in-
dependence of the kingdom of Hungary. Sad it is
to be obliged to feel, that this respect consisted
rather in words than deeds ; that again and again
efforts were made either to put this independence
in abeyance or to cripple it in many points,
but in no instance could it be crushed. It remained
for the wise men of Austria, within the last twelve
months—auspicious period for such a work—to at-
tempt to crush a liberty which previous ministers did
not dare to attack.—(Applause.) We know what
the result has been. The Austrians, having subdued
' insurrection as they deemed it, at home, go to put
down the independence assumed in that section of the
great Austrian empire called the kingdom of Hun-
gary. The Hungarians meet them at the border to
say it should not be so ; We have been independent,
our fathers were so, our children shall be so.'—
(Loud and continued applause.) Well, the battle
came on, and as you might expect, compared in point
of valour in the ranks, generalship at the head,
statesmanship over the nation, patriotism everywhere,
Hungary is triumphant, and Austria is seen rolling
back, defeated, upon Vienna—(Enthusiastic applause)
—confessedly beaten, utterly despairing of raising up
anything within themselves that could put down this
Hungarian movement. Why, sir, if ever a cause
was fairly tried that should determine whether a
people should be independent or not, I think these
Hungarians have shown that they deserve this inde-
pendence, seeing that they could appreciate it—
fight for it—die for it.—(Loud and continued cheers.)
If they do not deserve the freedom which they claim,
then I am bold to say that Englishmen do not deserve
the freedom which they possess—(Hear)—for I know
nothing in the shape of exception that can be brought
up against the series of patriotic men who have strug-
gled to perpetuate independence and freedom in nun.

" That this meeting views wile the deepest respect
and sympathy the present struggles the Hungarian,
nation for the right of self-government, which they had
for many centuries wisely exercised ; and further
dges itself by every legitim rte and proper means to
testify such sympathy, and to support the cause of the
Hungarian people.
The Rev. Mr. HILL seconded the resolution. Ho was
delighted to see all parties and all sects uniting, not only
at this meeting, but also all through the kingdom, to ex-
press their sympathy with struggling liberty. This was a
debt which not only England, but also all Europe, owed
to Hungary. In pest ages, when the Turks had assaulted
the liberties and religion of Christian Europe, the tide
of invasion had been rolled-back by bravo Hungary; and
what cause of complaint would she have against this
country if, in this great struggle, the aid of that people,
whose boast it had always been that theirs was the land
of freedom, was denied to them? He hoped that such
would not be the case, and if he might judge from the
present assembly, there was not much fear that any
such blot would rest upon the escutcheon of England.
Mr. METE YARD, who was greeted on his appearance
by repeated cheering, came forward to move the next re-
solution. He thought that he could not better introduce
himself to the meeting than by reading to them the
prayer of Kossuth over the dead bodies of the Hungarians
slain fighting for their country's freedom, which was re-
ceived by the meeting with repeated and enthusiastic
cheering. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to de-
scribe to the meeting the details of this struggle up to
the present moment. In reading the accounts of these
events, ought not the heart of every Englishman
to revert back to the times when similar struggles
were being carried on in England—to the times
of Pym, Hampden, and Cromwell, to the events by
which our present liberties of thought, of action, and of
speech, were secured? and ought not every Englishman
to sympathise with the efforts of a brave nation, who
strove to emulate us in the blessings of freedom ? And
he was proud to say that sympathy had not been want-
ing throughout the length and breadth of this country.
Edinburgh had met, Birmingham had met, all the great
educated towns of the kingdom had met, and it was not
too late for the burgesses of Staffurd to show that they
were not behind the rest of their fellow-countrymen in
the cause of freedom and liberty. . Sympathy was the
duty of every nation, and nobly, he was glad to say, had
this country spoken out in the cause; but, alas! she
had been outstripped by her daughter, America.
in this question. This very day had ho learned, and
a proud man he was to be able to announce such a fact
to such a meeting, that America had recognized the
independence of Hungary.—(Greet cheering.) Would
to God that England had been the first to lead the
way in such-a noble course; would to God that she had
not to follow any nation I But still her course lay
open, and he heartily prayed that she would not hesi-
tate in proceeding on it. He would scarcely dare to call
the attention of the meeting to the great commercial ad-
vanteges which a recognition of the independence of
Hungary would offer to this country. One of Kossuth's
first steps had been to throw off all commercial restric-
tions; there would no longer be an Austrian tariff nor
despotic custom-house; but Hungary, with its admiration
for the English character, might be converted into a va-
luable ally to this country. The lion. Gentleman con-
cluded by moving the following resolution:—
" That this meeting solemnly protests against the in-
terference of Russia, and the slaughter by her armies
of the Hungarian people, who had in no ways given
any cause for war; and further to express their abhor-
rence of the infamous cruelties and crimes committed by
the Austrian Generals and troops upon a brave people,
who have resorted to arms only as a last resourse to
maintain the indefeasible right of all men—self-govern-
ment. And, also, that this meeting expresses its admi-
ration of the great generals and statesmen, who have so
nobly directed the Hungarian cause,—Kossuth, Georgey,
Bern, Dembinski, Aulich, and others ; and fervently
desires that a continuation of the same resolute wisdom
and undismayed courage, which have hitherto distin-
guished their efforts, by the Divine assistance may be
brought to a successful issue."
Mr. COOPER rose to move—

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news.
oaper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put !at
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of Igo. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoxe, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the ellcacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair!' much stronger and more luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. G.'s
itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 115. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough."

CY.I One half the world are desolately single, and the other
.opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, Cr a
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble. regret tm-
eomtprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
..nd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and jnstice demand that health shouldform an item
n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted bonen or

for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

SYMPATHY WITH lIIINGARY.—Meetings to express
sympathy with the struggling Hungarians have teen
held in several of the principal towns of England. We
are glad to see a movement on foot, the effect of
which is to give Liverpool an opportunity of uniting
with the citizens of the metropolis and other
places in this expression of public feeling. A
requisition, addressed to the mayor, has been placed
on the table of the Exchange News-room, of which
the following is a cdpy :—" We, the undersigned, do
hereby request you to call a public meeting of the in-
habitants of the borough, to consider the propriety of ex-
pressing sympathy with the Hungarians in their struggle
for independence, and especially to protest against the
invasion of Hungary by Russia." The requisition has
received a very largo number of signatures, including
the names of some of the most respectable and influen-
tial gentlemen in the town, of all parties.—Liverpool
Albion.

STATE OF GRAVEYARDS IN CLERKENWELL.—In
no place is a Worm more necessary than in the district
of Clerkenwell, where graveyards are completely
hemmed in and closely abutted on on all sides by dwell-
ing-houses and workshops, in many cases deriving light
and ventilation solely from these pestilential places.
The over-crowded state of one of them has been made
the subject of a Government commission (I allude to
Spa-fields); the others (four) are scarcely in a better
condition; an examination of them is imperatively nc-
cessarily. My attention, as district surveyor, has lately
been called to the state of the vaults in St. James's
Church, where, through quite open gratings, piled in
rows, are to be seen coffins seven or eight deep; the
graveyard is literally crammed. Strange to say, inter-
ments still go on. Extensive workshops are being
erected on the adjoining properties. The attention of
Governmentis now being directed to this subject, and
the nuisance must be summarily dealt with. Any fur•
ther interments should be interdicted, the vaults sealed,
and two feet of concrete placed over the graveyard..—

" That a petition be prepared, to be signed by the
chairman of this meeting, humbly to petition her Most
Gracious Majesty, through the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, to acknowledge the independence of
Hungary, and to take such measures as in her wisdom
she clay think most fit to maintain the rights of the
Hungarians as a free people."

He li-egged to congratulate Stafford on this expression of
opinion upon such a mighty struggle, which was so
nearly connected with the question of our own liberties
end freedom. It was, then, the interest as well as the
duty of Englishmen to stand forward mightily at this
juncture, to arrest not only the liberties of Hungary but
of all Europe, to drive back the northern despot to his
own limits, and to render the freedom of the world se-
cure from his attacks. With the independence of Hun-
gary the independence of ell Europe would fall—
from Hungary to Constantinople, from Constanti-
to Persia, and from Persia to ilindostan, were but short
steps. England should not be backward to seize this
opportunity of restraining the power of Russia, as well
as of forwarding the cause of freedom, and it was with
these views, and with his whole heart and soul, he cried
" God save laungary."
Mr. PEPLOW felt himself honoured to be called upon
to second this resolution, which he thought was the most
important of the evening. Ile congratulated England
upon her present position, dignified and tranquil,
and he thought that it was in her power to in.
terfere with mighty effect in this question. But it was
necessary to consider what must be the consequences of
English interference. Suppose that Queen Victoria
should acknowledge the independence of Hungary, and
that after that Russia should persist in her tyrannical
intervention in this family-question, what must we do
then ?—(A voice from the crowd, " Fight," and cheers.)
Certainly, we must be prepared to follow up our recog-
nition by an appeal to arms, to back up sympathy with
action, and, though he himself was a lover of peace, still
he thought slavery a greater evil than war; to oppress
the souls of men was worse than wounding their bodies,
and with these views he, for one, would never hesitate to
say "Fight manfully in such a cause."
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolutions, which were
carried unanimously amidst loud cheering.
After a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his conduct in
the chair, the meeting separated, with three cheers for
the Hungarians, and three groans for Russia, heartily
given.

PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM.—Yes-
terday evening a preliminary meeting, fur the formation
of a Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association in
the parish of Lewisham, was held at the Beehive Tavern,
Sydenham. The attendance was remarkably good. The
Rev. William Linwood took the chair at eight o'clock.
Mr. Elliot proposed the first resolution—" That it is
desirable that the members of the National Reform As-
sociation residing in Sydenham, form themselves into a
local association, for the purpose of extending the in-
fluence and promoting the objects of the Council." Mr.
uggle, though patience
might soon be the cry.
Miller seconded the resolution. He was willing to devote
what he could spare, both of his time and his money, to
the service of the association. He had been a subscriber
to the Anti-Corn-law League, and from its success he an-
ticipatedbe
rcithateeiirnedt,he
He only regretted that the place proposed was not more
central. To ensure success nothing was wanted but
perseverance. The resolution was then put, and carried

unanimously. The thanks of the meeting were , then
voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated about
ten o'clock.

niatous vote of the board of directors.

• nary case. It is nothing of that kind. It is a case
involving interests of vast amount. Oh yes ; and
there is another feature besides, Mr. Mayor, and to
my poor heart it is a noble and a tender feature too.
There is a religiousness in the heart of these men that
is quite refreshing, when contrasted with the cold-
heartedness on that subject of so large a portion of
Europe. I have read but recently a prayer uttered,
for the first time, over the grave of the slaughtered
ones of Hungary, by that hero for the hour, Louis
Kossuth.— [ Ile whole meeting here rote and con-
tinued cheering and applauding most enthusiastically
for some time ] I feel that I should like to read you
this prayer.—(Loud cries of " Read.") Kossuth is
upon his knees, and the graves of his slaughtered
countrymen are beneath him. The Rev. Doctor
then, amidst the breathless silence of the meeting,
read the following prayer :
" 'Lord! God of the warriors of Arpad! Look down
upon thy s-rvant from thy throne of stars—look down
upon thy servant, for the prayer of millions ascends to
heaven from his lips, magnifying the mysterious power
of thy omnipotence. My God! thy sun is radiant above
me, and beneath me are the bones of my heroic brethren
that are fallen in battle: the heavens are blue above me,
and the earth beneath my feet is red with the holy
blood of the sons of onr ancestors. Send, 0 God! the
genial rays of thy sun, that flowers may spring from
this holy blood, that the bodies of my brethren may not
perish in lifeless corruption! God of my ancestors! God
of the nations! open thy ear to the voice of our warriors,
for in it thunders the arm and the spirit of a brave
people, bent upon crushing the iron arm of tyranny. As

from sin! My God! a people of slaves must not live on

Great Father of my father! Mightiest of the mighty!
Almighty, thou the God of heaven, of earth, and of the
sea! Lo! a nimbus of light rising from these bodies
irradiates the front of my people! God, in thy mercy,
bless their dust! Let the ashes of our heroes rest in
sanctity! Do not ahindon us, great God of battles; but
magnify thy power over us! "
(Loud applause.) Thera surely cannot be a heart in
this assembly that does not sympathise, I had almost
said to agony, with the spirit of that man, and mar-
vellous it is to me—greatly marvellous—that this fine
old English speech of ours, that seems as though it
were constructed to breathe no sentiment contrary to
freedom and to humanity, that this should be dese-
crated through any channel supposed to express
public opinion, by being employed to pltch up ex-
cuses for oppression like this, and accusations against
men like these.—(Applause.) I cannot comprehend
it. The extent to which this is done Ido not know,
1 but that it is done at all is to me a mystery, and a
grief of no ordinary kind. If I might say further,
would say that this is a question in which you, as inn
of Manchester, have your interest. Do you think
that the autocrat of Russia means, by coming in thus
upon Hungary, to do the bidding of Austria—intends
to serve Austria? He is wiser than that. He means
to serve that power only to the extent to which it can
be a new instrument, whereby he can influence the
condition of European society at large. He means to
serve that empire only thus far, and its own idiotic policy
has brought it now to this blessed alternative—that
henceforth it must be virtually, if not nominally, a
mere appendage to Russia, or must sit down contented,
losing the Hungarian kingdom.—(Cheers.) Then,
sir, let any one look at the map, see where Hungary
is placed, and ask himself, " Does the Autocrat come
down, think 3 ou, nearer and nearer to the Black Sea,
to Constantinople, and have no ambitious eye in that
direction ?" We have heard, indeed, of the failure of
resources, and of the narrow means of that power.
Part of that I believe, but I am afraid that our great
townsman has over-coloured the picture of Russian
poverty and weakness; I am afraid we may err some-
what on the other side through his guidance, though
the substance may be true. Certain it is, that the
great mortification of Russia has long been, that
through British influence, its power is checked so
forcibly in these directions. Let that power prevail
there, and your traffic through these regions is no
longer safe—your way to your great Indian empire
is no longer undisturbed. We have been built up
upon the fact of possessing that empire, of our pos-
sessing this traffic, of our having it secured. Strike it
away, and in the artificial state in which we are, misery
dreadful to think of is inseparable from its loss. It is
not then for us to encourage, it is for us rather to
check, by all the moral power we can bring to hear
upon it, tendencies of such a power. Hungary has
now markets that are compratively open to you ; but
let Russia come in, and then there is the Russian
tariff, and some of you I presume know what that
means.—(Hear.) The only idea of free trade that
Russia has is, that one Russian may buy and sell
with another, and that is the only idea on the subject
that you will be able to get in there for some time. I con-
fess, however, that these economic notions, these
relations of things to the mere material interests of
men, are not the great thing with me. It is not to be
concealed from any man who will look at all patiently
at it, that the clear, the avowed purpose of the Em-
peror of Russia is to come in, as an instrument of
destiny, according to his view, to check human pro-
gress, to stereotype God's creature man, to narrow up
into as small a space as possible all liberal ideas, to
exert the authority of one will over all wills, leaving
no liberty to conscience, no sacredness to person, no
safety to property, but making the will of himself to
be the sovereign law over all these human wills. But,
sir, there is nothing European in all this. It is not
merely oriental, it is the worst form of orientalism. It
is a kind of orientalism for which you have to travel
over the broad flats of Tartary or Mongolia; and are
we to allow these things to come down like a flood
upon Europe, without even our moral power being
put forward to check it ? I think not. That Austria
should have asked aid from any quarter to settle an
international dispute we hold to he wrong; but that
such a power should be called in to do it aggravates
the original error. Yes, and I cannot but as a man,
look on this with fear and with pain. Give me the
amount of the tyrannical sway in any people, and I
will give you the amount cf social and moral corrupt-
ness in that people. Tell me the force of the reign of
terror that is there, and I will tell you the degree in
which all virtuousness is taken from virtue, in which
all crime is raised to the place of virtue, where the
natural interests of right and wrong are in danger of
being eradicated and destroyed, where men are taught
to consider all things right that may help the weak
to counteract, to elude, to spoliate, to damage
the strong, that are everywhere working against
them.—(Loud applause.) It is a cauldron .of these
awful passions that is called up wherever this kind
of power prevails • and I say, therefore, to
Russian power " Back, back to thine own land,
back and bring not thy blight upon the fair face of
our beloved Europe."—(Loud cheers) But I cannot
easily suppose—for though I talk thus, I have the
reputation of being somewhat of a moderate

it, and all I have to say to it is that, come tyranny
whence it will, it is " the thing my soul hateth," and
had I a thousand lives to spend, I think I could
choose that the last breath of the last of them should
be spent in allowing me to look tyranny in the
face, and to say, " Tyranny, I hate thee."—(Loud
applause.) Yes, sir, further than this I say, that
I never execrate tyranny so much as when I find
it in connexion with men who can take upon their
unholy lips the sacred name of liberty. But, sir,
when I look over the wide field of history abroad
upon the earth, and upwards to the past, I am obliged
to conclude that, if popular excesses have sometimes
slain their thousands, monarchical excesses have slain
their tens of thousands.—(Loud applause.) But
there is this ; the excesses of a free people have al-
ways been the exception, not the rule ; whereas the
excesses in other quarters have too often been the
rule, not the exception. Again, too, the tyranny of a
free people carries its own corrective along with it ;
for there is an element of inconsistency that must,
after the passion is over, shame men from the prac-
tice.—(Applause.) In the other case it is not so ; it
is only in harmony too frequently with the very basis
upon which the power rests. I want not autocracy,
I want not aristocracy, I want not democracy;l
want all these blended wisely, justly,

sir, I believe that we are on our way to that, have
years, in
England of ours. If I were to trespass fur-
ther—(Loud cries of '° Go on," from all parts of the
room)—I ought, perhaps, to say a word or two about
' the doings of our old friends across the water—Re
publican France in Republican Rome—that
very priestly people at home, with such zeal for
priesthood there ; but, sir, I am not here to utter
one word to-day disrespectful of any man's
creed. Whether a man be a priest after the type of
Rome, after the type of Oxford, or after my own sort,
somewhat after the type of Geneva, if he must be a
priest I think he has got pretty much enough on his
own hands, if he will attend to that duty; and if there
are secular men to whom he can entrust a portion at
least of secular care, I think he would be wise in do-
ing so. That the citizens of Rome are men who
ought to be thus entrusted, is a conclusion at which
