MIR. Chairman, there was once.a kino of Fn;-

people of Eng land on that class of which am one

But, oh, how trembling despots are in these
days! have seen some of them-I have weigh
ed them IN these very hands of mine Formerly
they broke only their words; now, we are sub
Jecied TO the consequences of a breach of their
sworn oaths-and every tie is broken-eyery

The praises of God are mingled with curses
against despots, and oppressed European nations
shake their chains, and bleeding nations feel their
degradation. [Cheers,l This is the present
STATE OF the European continent, at least for the
greatest part And still, there are men who have
regard for despots, but who are silent in regard
to the duties due toward humanity. THear
hear.l They speak of regard to tyrants, but are
silent about the danger of mankind"
Now. In the United States, ruling principle
Is that OF non-intervention in European matters
say 1t Is very wise in those who established
prnclple, TO follow it out; but, neither those who
established, nor those who followed it. were
aware ofthe meaning it had; their principle was
the intervention, the recognition, the acknowledge
ment OF the right Of every nation to dispose of its
own domestic concerns. [Applause] And they
held 1t as right not TO interfere in the internal
affairs OF any country-if such country choose
TO be a republics it shall be; if it choose to be
monarchy, 1t shall be; if it choose to be despot-
ism, even, it may; it depends solely on lis own
will, only let it not be false, but free will
Lliear hear.] That is the. princple-the SOW
ere'gn right of every nation to dispose of itself
But this Is not the non-intervention which would
be dehned by these words: Il do not care what
ever be the fate of humanity; whatever the dis
Posal OF the world may do with Europe, or with
It's liberty, because my principle Is non-interven
ton.' That, say, is not non-ntervention; it is
the letter-ot-marque to despotsm; it would be an
assurance to society to carry with certainty, the
victory to despotsm. EAear, hear. | suppose
