THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1867.

BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF ST.
PATRICK.
Under the Patronage of her MAJESTY and H.R.11. the

by those most desirous of seeing a Reform Bill
passed.

ADVERTISEII.—it is due to the Derby Ministr: to
say, that while we do not quite like the visage of the
forthcoming Reform measure, so far as we fancy we
can discern some of its features, we are willing to
wait until it is fully and fairly unfolded before we
emdemn it. Mr. Disraeli again and again assured
the house that Ministers were willing to listen at-
tentively, and to give due weight to any sugges-
tions which may be mach: with the view of improv-
ing the measure. Under these circumstances it
would be ungracious to prejudge their scheme, or to
assume towards it a hostile attitude. But while we
are willing to extend every possible amount of in-
dulgence to the Government, and not condemn their
measure before it has been submitted to Parliament
and the public, we deem it right to make some ob-
servations with the view of indicating what we con-
sider indispensable provisions in any Reform mea-
sure which the country can be expected to accept
as a satisfactory .settlement of the question. First,
everybody expects that there will be a large ex-
tension of tke suffrage downwards. To suppose
that Mr. Disraeli will bring in a bill, or resolu-
tions, having no such feature, is to suppose that
he must have taken leave of his senses. But how
shall the suffrage be extended? Shall the £7
householders, or the £8 householders, or the £5
householders, be enfranchised ? Somehow or other
no one appears to expect either of these conces-
sions. People have come to the conclusion—we
know not on what grounds—that the new measure
is to grant, in some way or other, absolute house-
hold suffrage. If it does so, it will be more libe-
ral than Lord Russell's bills of 1852, 1851, and
1864, and more liberal than Mr. Gladstone's bill of
last year. But then, if such a proposal as this be
made, we must expect to find it balanced by some
provisoes intended to prevent the utter " swamp-
ing" of the higher and middle classes. Such pro-
visoes have been recommended by several noted
Liberals. Eighty years ago, Mr. Horne Toole pro-
posed but he e proposed also
en
o t ae togiivree
electoarso. More
recently, Mr. Bonamy Price, Mr. Rathbone Greg,
wtiod e
each suffrage,ofte wealthier
and Mr. Mill have given their approval of such a
safeguard. Mr. Mill, however, only suggests six
votes each for the educated classes.
TELEGRAPII.—We are not going to quarrel with
Ministers about their motives—we assume good
motives ; we are not going to question the spirit in
which they have acted—we sympathise with the
painful plight of so many politicians debarred from
the luxury of indulging in the last infirmity of noble
minds. Mr. Disraeli may leap into the gulf which
he helped to open, and we shall condole with the
survivors. But, we ask, what claim have the pre,
sent Government—except, perhaps, their willing,
ness to become the clerks of the house—upon tha
forbearance which they demand almost as a righ-

The Committee have the honour to announce that the
EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL of
this Charity will be celebrated at WILLIS'S ROOMS,
King-street, St. James's on ST. PATRICK'S EVE, the
16th March, the' Prince of \VALES in the Chair,
and that HALLE the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has consented
to head the list of Vice-President& and Stewards, which
will shortly be published. •
THOS. KIPPAX atiG, jun., Secretary.
Stamford-street, S.

Why, for their sakes, should we abandon, even for
a moment, that great modern improvement, the salt
of the Parliamentary system, the real distinction
between the English and the American system—

government by responsible Ministers ? Why- should
we repeal responsible government for a session in
order that the Cabinet of Lord Derby should re-
main in office ? The British Constitution and par-
liamentary usage are no doubt elastic enough to
lend themselves to forms of procedure; but far
stronger reasons must be shown for acquiescence in
this particular form, if it is to have full warrant.
It is no. light thing to throw upon the entire house
the burden of responsibilities that properly belong
to Government. And for what ? That we may
discuss and adopt resolutions which, so far as they
have been explained, are alike distasteful to the
house and to the country. If, when they are be-
fore us, the resolutions do not promise a sounder
measure of reform than that sketched by Mr. Dis-
raeli, the Government must then take them back and
tell us what they really mean, or take themselves
out of office. There is no other alternative. As
we understand it, this Tory plan for the evolution
of an inadequate project, intended to " reconstruct
the House of Commons," is one that lands us in
nothing less than a Convention Parliament and a
Provisional Government.

many friends of liberty and peace are strengthened
and encouraged in their struggles for the right.
While thanking you for your labours I would join
in the sentiment recently expressed by my friend,
the Rev. A. L. Post, of Pennsylvania, published in
the London Freeman, that 14_1ngland and America
might unitedly advance in wise and just measures,
and become leaders and examples to other nations.
I will refer to three historical facts to show the valtle
of mutual knowledge between England and America.
The battle of New Orleans was fought January- 8,
1815, but peace between England and America was
concluded on the 24th December, 1814. A tele-
gram to that effect by an Atlantic cable—had one
then been laid—would have saved the lives of a
thousand Englishmen slain in that battle. In 1811
there were two parties in the American Congress—
one for peace with England, the other for war.
The latter party declaimed against England on r.e-
count of the " Orders in Council," which, though
framed against the policy and edicts of Bonaparte,
injured American commerce. The peace party, an-
ticipating that very soon intelligence might be
received that the objectionable " orders" had be en
repealed, asked for more time. A vote was taken,
and it was decided by one majority not to wait.
War was declared soon after the expected
gence reached America of the repeal of the " orderes,-0
but it was then too late. Could a telegram have
been sent to America announcing their reveal,
the peace party would have carried its cause
triumphantly and prevented the war. When Mason
and Slidell were taken from the 7 rent the Ameri-
can Government designed tcrsttrrender them if rt.:-
quested to do so. This was not known in Eugla.nd,
and a million of pounds were expended in prepar-
ing for war. Could each Government have sent a
telegram to the other that amount of money would
have been saved.
But in commencing my letter I designed to refer
to the knowledge communicated by the press in the
Southern States, and to show its influence on the
future of the Union. The slave party has alwrys
been hostile to the liberty of the press. When. the
rebellion began there were but two free presses in:all
the slave States. A free press through all the South
would have prevented secession. President John-
son's policy represents the ruling classes of the
South unchecked by the influence of a free press.
But a transition is going on. The Southern press
is obtaining its liberty. This obtained, the inte-
rests and sympathies of the people will be one,
North and South, and the Congress and the Presi-
dent one in their policy as exponents of the will of
the people.
When the anti-slavery reform began the liberty
of the press, even in the free States, had been de-
stroyed by the slave party. William Lloyd Garrison
published an anti-slavery newspaper in Boston,
Massachusetts. For this he was dragged through.
the streets with a rope and thrust into prison; but lac;
maintained this ground, and published the Liberator
in that city till the slaves were free. J. G. Birney
published an anti-slavery paper at Cincinnati. The
press was destroyed, but re-established, and after-
wards removed to Washington. In its columns in
that city " Uncle Tom's Cabin" appeared in chap-
ters. This was its origin. The anti-slavery prer,3
of John G. Whittier was destroyed by a mob irt.
Philadelphia, but the attempt to publish it was re-
newed with success, and it was continued to the
end of slavery. The Rev. Mr. Lovejoy published
an anti-slavery newspaper in Alton, Illinois, and
for this was slain by the mob. Two friends of the
slave, Benjamin Lundy and Zebina Eastman (the
latter now the American Consul in this city) re-
solved, without knowing each other's design, to re-
establish a free press in that State, and succeeded
in doing so. Eventually the whole Northern press
opposed the extension of slavery, and thus enabled
the Federal Government to carry out this policy,
whatever it might cost. But, passing from the
Free to the Slave States, I observe that in all these
either state-law or lynch-law prevented discussion
on the slavery question, and no press was free. Mr.
Clay, the present American Ambassador to Russia,
having emancipated his slaves, established in Ken-
tucky an anti-slavery press. A mob gathered and
determined to destroy it. Mr. Clay resolved to
defend it, and having made his will placed a
small cannon in the office. A few friends sup-
ported him with their presence and aid. Eventually,
while he was ill, the mob broke into the office,
boxed up the press, and sent it to a free State. He
maintained his ground, and printing his paper in a
free, published it in a slave State. It wassuspended
in the Mexican war. When I visited Kentucky I
laboured to re-establish it, but was compelled to
leave on pain of death. Six weeks afterwards
Mr. Clay established an anti-slavery paper in that
State. It was, I believe, merged in the Louisville
Journal; and this, with the Free South, published
at Newport, in the same State, were the only free
presses in the South, where the rebellion began.
Hence there was no opportunity in the slave States
of discussing the questions of liberty and union—
secession and slavery. There was no check to the
power, and no contradiction of the falsehoods of
slaveholders. There was no opportunity of en-
lightening the people ; of ascertaining the strength
and numbers of Union men ; and forewarning the
millions of non-slaveholders of the inevitable de-
struction that must come upon them from the might
of the North. A free press through
would have been a better support theh e
South
to t Federal
Government than armies or navies. But the press
was subsidised by the slave party, and secession

relegate it to its proper functions. Whilst it was
intriguing against the'liberties of the people, as it
was at presen, it was transgressing those functions.
With regard to class legislation, let them look at the
Cattle Plague Bill and the Night Poaching Act, by
-which people were taxed to find gamekeepers
for the rich. But, crowning wrong of all, let
them look at the present state of Ireland, the coun-
try which had beer. misgoverned for centuries. After
some farther remarks on these subjects the speaker
concluded by moving the resolution.
THE O'DoNOGII [JE, M.P., seconded the resolution.
He said he had just left the House of Commons,
and he could tell them as a matter of fact that the
Government had not introduced a Reform Bill. (Loud
groans, and cries of " Turn them out") The im-
pression left on his mind was that the Tory party in-
tended to carry a Reform Bill through the House of
Commons without consulting the people. They
would see the papers in the morning, and be able to
decide whether the impression on his mind was the
correct one. The hon. gentleman then spoke at
considerable length on the reform question, andcom-
pared the electoral franchise as at present existing in
some of the continental countries, in America, and
in the colonies, with that existing in this_ country,
and asked if the English nation would be content
with their present 'fractional possession of political
power. lie said that millions of the people in Ire-
land would unite with the people of this country in
advancing the common cause of reform.

--Mr. T. B. Porno, M.P., in supportingthe mo-
tion, alluded, amidst considerable interruptions to
several of the features of the reform measure pro-
posed by Mr. Disraeli, which he characterised as
wholly unsatisfactory and not of a genuine character.
He stated that it transferred no portion of the pre-
sent overwhelming power of the landed interest, but
which was carefully revised to protect them.
Mr. TAYLOR, M.P., supported the resolution, and
said that he had just come from the Theatre of St.
Stephens, and he had gladly escaped from that
atmosphere to the Agricultural Hall. At the pre-
sent time the House of Commons was thinking of
how much reform it could give them without con-
ceding too much of its present interests ; and, se-
condly, how little they could induce the people to
accept.
Mr. MOIR (of the Scottish Reform League), in
supporting the resolution, said that there was a set
of " audacious wretches" in the country, both north
and south, who spoke of the masses of the people as
having no stake in the country ; but had they no
stake ? Why, they were liable to be called upon to
sacrifice their lives in the service of their country,
and he thought that a large stake. Some time ago
he had been asked for what reason he would give a
vote to a man who could not write, and his reply
was for the same reason that the inquirer would jus-
tify the punishment of a man for breaking a law
which ho had never heard of.
The resolution was then put to the meeting and
carried unanimously.
Mr. Ernest Jones proposed the second resolution
as follows :—" That this meeting desires most ear-

nestly to press upon the Liberal members of the
House of Commons the absolute necessity, as they
regard the peace and welfare of the country, of not

consenting to any measure of Reform designed to
evade the full and just rights of the people to be
directly represented in their own branch of the
Legislature." lie said that the Tory Government
was a " Godsend" to many half-hearted Liberals,
and would enable them to accept a small measure of
Reform and then excuse themselves on the plea that
they had taken the most they could get from the
Tories. The Tories had saddled the country with a
vast national debt, and if they could have had their
way we should :now have been at war with the
United Stetes of America. They were the enemies
of progress, and whilst all the rest of the world was
pressing onwards, the Tories were standing still.

Profesor BF:ESLEY seconded the resolution. He
said he wa. in no hurry to see the question settled ;
he hoped they would not take the advice of those
parties who said, take all you can get. They were
close upon obtaining manhood suffrage in 1832, and
if they had not compromised the matter would have
had it granted them.

Mr. BRADLATIGII supported the resolution. He
said they had shown how many hundreds of thou-
sands of working men they could take out into the
streets of London on this question, and it

would show the Government that if they did
not give them the measures they asked that
they could sweep them (the Government) away
from their path. He advised them not to be

content with simply passing these "sham resolu-
tions." He trusted they would not consent to be
governed by the present Ilouse of Commons, which
was composed of tha railway interest, the sons and

relatives of the peers, and were the worthless out-
side gilt which concealed the rotten gingerbread
underneath which was predominant, whilst the

people were prevented from sending true value in
the persons of those they might desire to choose as
their representatives.
The Rev. A. O'NEILL proposed the third resolu-
tion, filled up as follows :—" That, in the opinion
of this meeting, the propositions made in the House
of Commons this evening, on the subject of the
Reform of the representation of the people in Par-
liament, are eminently unsatisfactory, and com-
pleted the proof of the present Government being

unworthy of the confidence of the country."
Mr. Councillor BURT, of the Glasgow Reform
League, seconded the resolution, which was car-

ried, and
The proceedings terminated with the customary

followed.
As the Federal military power advanced in the
South, free presses sprang up to sink again when-
ever that power was withdrawn.
But the slave system has departed, and with it
the chief motive to paralyse the freedom of
the press. Both editors and people are acquiring
new courage. Wherever in the South the policy of
justice to the black man is fully discussed, it secures
the voice of the people. A large measure of power,
owing to the ignorance and prejudices of the people,
is still in the hands of the ex-slaveholders, and they
have still a heavy hand on the freedom of the press.
This is but temporary. The North must give
character to the Federal Government, and this will
secure a free press for the South.

A grand banquet took place at Washington on
• the Bth January in commemoration of the 52d an-
niversary of the battle of New Orleans in 1815.
The Hon. F. P. Blair presided. Among the guests
were Senators Cowan, of Pennsylvania ; Sauls-
bury, of Delaware ; Hendricks, of Indiana, and a
number of others ; Hone. A. J. Rogers, of New
Jersey; John Hogan, of Missouri; Judge Charles
Mason, Thomas J. Henley, of Indiana ; Mr. Kerr,
of Indiana ; Montgomery Blair, F. P. Blair, sr., of
Maryland ; the Hon. George Taylor, of Brooklyn,
New York ; Hon. J. M. Humphrey, of New York ;
Mr. Finck, of Ohio; Mr. Akins, of the same State; C.
Winfield, of New York. The Textu3delegation were all
present; also Mr. L. D. Evans, of the sam6State ;
Messrs. Glossbrenuer and Ancona ; the Hon. Mr.
Wheeler, of North Carolina ; Mr. Niblack, of In-
diana ; Mr. Trimble, of Kentucky ; Voorhees, of
Indiana ; Judge Merrick, District of, Columbia, and
a number of others scarce less prominent. The
President was enthusiastically received, and in the
course of his speech, in reply to the toast, " The
Health of the President of the United States," said
—,4No St:ite of its own will has the right, under
the Constitution, to renounce its place in, or to
withdraw from, the Union. Nor has the Congress
of the United States, under the Constitution, the
power to degrade the people of any State by re-
ducing them to the condition of a mere territorial
dependency upon the Federal head. The one is a
disruption and a dissolution of the Government ;
the other is consolidation and the exercise of despotic
power. The advocates of either are alike the
enemies of the Union and of our Federal form of
government.

As illustrative of the transition now going on, I
will refer to a new paper just issued at MempLis,
Tennessee, under the title of The Baptist. Its
editor, the Rev. J. R. Graves, formerly published
a newspaper at Nashville, Tennessee ; he fully sym-
pathised with the rebellion, but succeeded in escap-
ing Natchez on the approach of the Federal army.
He says in his new journal, " If any look to me to
foster the fell spirit of hate and revenge that rankles
in the breasts and burns upon the tongues of some
of our brethren they will be disappointed. . . .
What can we effect by fomenting feelings of hatred
and malignity, but to sow the noxious seeds in the
breasts of our offspring that will and must inevit-
ably fruit in another harvest of desolation ? As
Christians, do we desire to repeat the scenes of

the past four years in each succeeding generation ?
Are we so earthly as to desire that our sons may
find graves upon future battlefields, and devote our
daughters to widowhood and sorrow ? Forbid it,
gracious God !"
President Johnson values the advantages of a
free press, as the interview with the American
correspondent of the Times evinces; but I do not
learn that any thing was said during the interview

By the new French press law printers and pub-
lishers will only have to make a simple declaration
of their place of residence and qualifications. It is
believed that the newspaper stamp will be reduced
to three centimes. It is not yet known whether
non-political 'publications will be submitted to the
same duty.
We hear that the manufacture of the cable for the
new North Atlantic telegraph route from Europe to
America, via Iceland and Greenland, will soon be
commenced at Liverpool, and the line will be cow-
pleted this year or next.

A telegram from Cairo announces that two large
steam tugs have passed through the fresh water
canal and arrived safely at Suez. The Isthme de Suez

an agreement with the Viceroy to construct two
ports, one military and the other commercial. They
will be separated by an immense jetty,
by a railway. The works will cost 15 traversed
millions of
francs, and take six years to complete,
