Andrew Jackson and the people Of America the
first to stretch out the hand Of fellowship Louis
Philippe when he rode down the elder branch Of Cases

and Daniel Webster and Henry Clay spoke in favor of
sending supplies Of and ammunition to the Greeks
lie advocated that missionary should be sent
TO Hungary, and that should enter into
diplomatic relations with her We understood the
speaker TO say that the American republic not t to

bad taste and should be left to the American people to
settle II themselves. But he thought that the
American people, were open to foreign criticisms
other people and he thought they the people of Eng
land had right because they interested in the
question 10 take up and give their assistance to cman
cipate the black people OF this continent George
Thompson invited here by 100000 of people; but it
Is said he wanted at home by his constituents

more than he wanted the Tower IIamets Although
England said Douglass has it, laws OF prmogcnture,
it, aristocraey its rags and workhouses has slaves
He rejoicod that Englishmen would not hold thefr
tongues although they required to do it by the
pro slavery faction Of this country, and he partcu-
lary rcjoiced that there a denomination of
Christians in England, that had taken the subject up,
and that dcnomnationt the most influential and wealthy
had determined in future to deny the use Of their pull
pits TO American dvines lie (Douglass) took the
ground that STAKEHOLDER ought to be allowed to live.
and that the who advocated excused should be

ceved; but II not light they had enough Of that
already But Il was IRE they wanted and he hoped they
would get IL. lie had confidence that they would be
made TO feel II before long and be held up to the
seorn and detcstston Of the people of Hng-
land They had especial right to call on England
England that planted 1t here thst made il more i'm
peratvc on her 70 assist in getting rid Of t. Let Us
then asnay, invite the aid of English friends TO
tear down this accurscd institution.
