the people Of England and the rnost gratifying
to me! II was that in which | heard your
Washington praised, and sorrow expressed that
il was England which opposed that glorious
cause upon which is founded the noble fame of
that great man and il was the addresses
numerous they were, indeed--in which hope and
resolution were expressed; and that England
and the United States, forgetting the sorrows
OF the past. will, indeed, in brotherly love 60
hand in hand to support the eternal principles Of
International law and freedom on earth.
Yes, indeed, sir, you were right to say that
the justice of your struggle, which took out Of
Englands hand mighty continent, is openly
acknowledged even by the English people itself
The memory OF the glorious day of New Orleans
| must OF course recall 10 Your mind the memory
Of wrongs against which you so gloriously
fought. Oh, let me intreat YOU bury the hatred
of past ages in the grave where all the crimes of
the past lie buried with the Wondering ashes
of those who sinned, and take the glorious
opportunity to benefit the great cause Of hu-

One thing let me tell you. gentlemen. Peo-
pie and governments are different things ia such
a country as Great Britain is. II is sorrowful
enough that the people have often to pay for
in history that even the people Of the United
States made kindred people pay for what its
government sinned. And, remember that Won

Britannia, and that the people of Britannia can
react upon the course OF its own government

be as it is, uniting in the direction not to allow
foreign interference with our struggles on the
continentw would become almost sure guarantee
of the victory of those struggles; and, accord

the most practical benefit to the noble people of
Ireland also, because freedom, independence, and
the principles of natures law could not fail to
benefit their own cause, which 80 well merits
the sympathy of every just man; and they have
also the SYMPATHY know it-of the better
half Of England itself.
Hatred is no good counsellor, gentlemen.
