THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR'S ANTI-
SLA VERY SPEECH.

The friends of the coloured people on both
sides of the Atlantic will read with intense gratifi-
cation the speech of his Excellency the American
Ambassador on slavery and the war in America. Re-
presentative Governments reflect both the virtues
and the vices of the people. Less than thirty years
ago the American Federal Government so power-
fully reflected the vice of slavery that the Presi-
dent, nearly all the members of the Cabinet, the
officers in the army and navy, and Indian agents
were slaveholders. At that time the American anti-
slavery newspapers stated that, with one exception,
all the American Ambassadars were slaveholders.
The. exception was, I believe, Mr. Cass, the Ambas-
sador to France; yet, though he was from a free State,
he made a, bid for the vot,s of the slaveholders for
the Presidency, and by pamphleteering and in other
ways he succeeded in inducing the Kingof France to
decline to ratify a treaty against the slave trade,
though it had been signed by the French Ambassador.
A reference to three of the American Ambassa-
dors to England will show the spirit with which
they were all embued down to the time of Mr C.
F. Adams. Mr. Stevenson was a Virginian slave-
holder, Mr. Dallas was in sympathy with the slave
party. This he evinced, when residing in Phila-
delphia, in a marked manner. A hall had been
erected by the anti-slavery friends, in which to
hold anti-slavery meetings. It was burnt to the
ground by a mob. At the trial, on the question
for compensation, Mr. Dallas contended that no •
compensation ought to be made, because the hall
was burnt down by a very respectable class of
people, and they were not a mob ! Mr. Buchanan
was distinguished for the Ostend manifesto. He
favoured annexing Cubato the United States, wait-
ing only till the fruit was ripe. If we contrast
with the policy of these officials that of the Ambas- •
sadors appointed by Mr. Lincoln, and their suc-
cessors, it will be seen that the anti-slavery virtue
of the American people has been reflected by the
Federal Government. The present Ambassador
to Russia, Mr. Clay, a Kentuckian, emancipated
his slaves, and established an anti-slavery press
in that State, which the slaveholders seized,
picked up, and sent to a free State. Mr. C. F.
Adams was nominated by the Free-Seil party for
the Vice-Presidency, and the value of his labours
as Ambassador are known to all. The earnest
anti-slavery speech of Mr. ReVerdy Johnson, in
which he declared that slavery had no founda-
tion in morals or Christianity, that the object of
the Southern Confederacy was to protect slavery,
and that the vile system died by means of the very
weapon forged for its protection, is important,
whether regarded as expressing the views of the
Federal Government, or his own deep convictions.
But it shines with a clearer light when contrasted
with events which took place some twenty years
since, and to which I will briefly refer. A slave
woman escaped from Maryland, the State in which
Mr. Reverdy Johnson resided, and which he repre-
sented in the United States Senate. The Rev. C.
T. Torrey was arrested and tried for aiding in the
escape. The anti-slavery friends, knowing that he
would be tried by a slave-holding judge and a
slave-holding jury, determined to secure the ser-
vices in his defence of the ablest legal slave-holding;
advocate in Maryland, as the only hope of saving
him from prison; and they were successful in ob-
taining those of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the present
ambassador. But his influence, and knowledge,
and eloquence were unavailing. Mr. Torrey was
sent to prison and died in prison. The peace-loving
and liberty-loving spirit of Mr. Johnson is a maul-
' festation of the spirit and policy of the AnleriCaa
people.—Anglo- American 7 imes.

The bodies recovered from the central shaft Of
the Hoosack tunnel were in a remarkable state of preset-
vation. Although they had laid at the bottom of the shalt
for almost a year, all but one were readily recognised 131
their friends. It would seem from the appearance of tllO
bodies that they must have known of their peril some ttntA
before death ; one of the party was partly undressed Oci
another had his hands over his face.
