chester, at which magnificent speech BY MIR.
Fox has excited general attention. The Times,
advocated BY Mr.. Fox, has attacked his speech in
Q most subtle and ingenious way, chasing him
among the enemies of reform, ON the pretence that
he goes too far, and frighsens people away from
reform. Ii is not In England as it is in France;
the enemies of popular righ;s cannot crush the
energies and stfe the voice Of the people by crying
out " mad dog" or socialism" because there Is
no socialism in England; such q paper your
Tribune would find no readers, it would die iu.
stantly ur der the load of public disgust There
fore, as there Is NO socialism in England, and the
bovgeofsie themselves sre the advocates Of reform,
as 1t would be too laughable to attempt to put
down the popular movement, by afixing to it a
name tious to all, and the resort is had to another
dodge The corrupt church and the members who
fatteD with It on lgotten spons, the great OPP
ponents OF REFORM and unable TO resist its onward
course by any other means, they affect to be will
ing to admit q moderate reform and cry out
az ainst all realrefo the Times does, by saying,
Don't 90 too far, you will frighten the folks. !"
II they could but get up the show Of socialist
party and succeed in working up few hot headed
madmen to talk about guillotines, and massacre,
and plunder, and division of property, and equal
purses, they would be delighted, they would raise
their counter cry, and have name and prstext by
which to trample down their opponents and per-
petuate their own iniquity II your New York
massa would star. his journal among them, they
would, 10 doubt, pay literally and handsomely, If
he would promise to drive few hundred work.

really was such party.
The other occurrence, the speech of Lord
Pa!merston, has created more attention abroad
in continental Europe, than in England pro.
per. Coming from q cabinet minister it has
fallen upon the desptt courts Of the conti-
Dent, as sort of counter declaration and mani.
festo against the declaration Of the despots
of their Jealousy and hostility against England In
this view, as Q counter-blast il has some imp)r-
tarce For the fact il now beginning 10 assume
mere and more deveope meat, that the ,onfe!era-
o a. 40 ne n
putting down the people and every shadow OF
stitutional liberty in Europe, are turning their
eyes with ind snant frowns towards England, aud
saying 10 themselves, that constitutional liberty Us
il exists in England, with free press, discussing
oUr conduct and measures, ought not, ald must not
exist any longer. In this attitude OF things the
speech of Lord Pamerston, sparkling with freedom,
and liberal views and sentiments, wonderful for
cabinet minister, and honorable TO him as a man
and an lrishman, possesses some signi icancy 1t
will have the effect Of making Lord Palmerston
more honorably known and more esteemed than he
has ever been till new The cultivation of friendly
relations between the United States and England,
is Of the highest Importance at the present tine
for the sake OF human progress and for maintaining
a barrier against the overspreading of medieval
darkness, and the establishment OF Oriental des-
po,ism in Europe. The sympathies of these two
nations and governments, and only Of those two, on
the side of liberal principles, are identical The
enemies OF nations and OF national ghts would pro-
mote with gladness, and contemplate with ecstaoies
Of Joy the least collision, enmty, or jealousy, be-
tween these two great nations. IL is much, there
fore, to be desired, that in the coming election of
the Chief Magistrate in the United States, the
people will be Influenced in their choice by correct
views on this important point as they are in their
bearing upon the future welfare OF so many other
distant nations The vote of an American, in the
remOtest regions Of that vast empire, may tend TO
pull out Of prison, or TO put lnto prison, thousands
Of patriots and great minis in all the nations OF
Europe.
