~, ssla as one Of uumitigaed brutality and black
pnar!iem, Re continues:
"For wears we have been congratu,aing ourselves
that through the spread of education and the great
s,,rrlua given TO mental and moral culture, We had
made a great and glorious advancement VIC Battered
our, eIys that brutal amuseents had lunk away from
public observation, and were paronlzed en'y by a few
IDLE vsgabonds in the lowest pothoTscs; when on
Tuesday evening we were aroused rom our looDsn
6rvam by Che tmnlult and excitement with which all
classes Of en- received the intelligence respecting this
fglt. IL was il TIE devil laughed US 70 utter seorii,
exclainnlg, Here You thought sou had made great
'prog,te, did youi You tGlked with great sssisiac'
ton Of the improved tastes of your aIistocracy yon
talked Of Your schools your clresp literature, your
mechanics institutions for tho poorer ranks 81 society
There You are, all of you from peers to porers, READ
ing with far greater interest the details OF prize
'iipbt-the effects OF this mans blow upon one
'rians check, and OF that blow on another
'mans aIiii-readng such highly ineilcclul and I'M
proving details with greater zct than any ci you
ever felt in reading your Bibles This the devil has
been saying and confess the devil IL perfectly right
Abiding to the idea of supporting the national honor
TO be in any way connected with the proceeding, he
continued:
Owe were really so foolish as to think that our M
tiousl honor would be sullied if the American had
proved himself the better fighter OF the two STUN
and nonsense II the Americans can buiid better hlp
than ours manufacture better cloth, better paper, bet
ter watches better cutlery than ours they can pro
lc better scholars better artists better poets Oeer
theoogans, better statesmen than ours-li they can
give TO their black brethren more freedom than we
gave TO oure-then perhaps the national honor OF En-
gland will suffer by comparisons; but should no more
link of national honor in the present case and should
have felt more degraded had the Engllshman lost,
than sboud if from the shores OF Massachusetts or
the banks Of the Mississippi there came to TINS country
horfc or pig which should carry oil the prize ut the
| next Royal Agricultural Show
Tie Rev. gentleman then severely aninadyerted on
tie practice Of betting pointing out that It was the
worst possible way Of getting on in tie world remark
ing "Whats got over the devils back is spent under
his belly He tLen descanted the dsgraceful state
Of things existing in London On the Of the battle
1--WE talk about the Sunday in Continental cities as
| a scason of shameful deipaiion. Well, nothing Ill
| Paris or Brussels, anywhere else, could be much
more dscredable than certain proceedings which took
place in London last Sunday. Referring to yoar pa.
| pers read: We paid fyng visit TO the Round
TABLE on Sunday night, where the pariisans OF the
| Boy were in full force, and IN high glee The
BLACK Iore was also crowded from stem 70 stern, and
lucky wa he who could obtain quiet seat either in
'rirlor or bar. Betting was going on very busy.'
Tie reverend gentleman suggested that the so-caed
cergymen stated TO have been present were probably
members Of tie swell mob in clerical disguise. He
| then went on 10 remark:
"Still suppose they were clergynen. Had not
clergymen Just as good right anybody else 10 be
| theref Was the fighting right or wrong Was the
betting right or wrongl If right, then the cergymen
did sin i'll being there ray, there would nave Deen
no sin if the cergymen had got up mill on their own
account, and two of them say Hight hurchman and
a Low-Churchman ora Methodist and Baptist had
| had a regular set-to for f25 Il side"
The reverend gentleman then improved the subject
by few practical applications Of the various points of
| his discourse and concluded IA follows:
"The two champions, with all that may be said
against their ugly trade can, by their courage, their
skill their patience teach all how 10 fight the battle
with self and sin; but to the spectators no more of
them; they people to he ashamed Of. Let us hope
that such scene may be witnessed again among
| u.s. The courage and The strength of Englshnen and
American need not be tested in barbarors man
ner All men have more than enough to do in Sighting
| with tie moral evil of their own nature, and he who
| does this best is in reality a champion"
