himself for having issued proclamation, ana lor oe-

Mr. B. Osborne-I must, at this early stage, protest
against the language made Of and the sentiments
expressed by my honorable friend the member for Fins
bury hear, hear who has altogether prejudged this
ouestion He talks Of reliable information which be
has received from certain friends of his but am also
IN possession Of relistle information which gives the
direct lie TO the statements made by the hon. gentle
man. laughterl am not only in position to deny
that any of those Ourages have been committed III the
Southern States, but, If this were the proper time,
could point TO ourages cOmmuedby the militia OF New
York in of the Southern States occupied by the,
where the general commanding, on the pretext that
one of his had been pOso ed by srychnine, issued
an order of the day threatening TO put slave into
every mans house TO ircte the slaves TO murder their
masters Such was the general order Issued by Gen.
Butler Therefore, don't let us be led away by old
wives tales into appeals to that very powerful and
very dangerous element IN tbls House mean the TX
eter Hall feeling. Hear, hear.) do hope the feeling
Of the House will be strongly expressed against any
thing like debate upon this subject at the present mo
meni general cries OF "Hear, hear j. and the bon.
gentleman Will not be tempted TO follow my hon.
friend but will rather initiate the Judieous silence
which the noble lord has always maintained on this
point. l''Hear,' and a laugh.l
Mr.. Bright think nothing could be more iniudi-
eious or more unfortunate than to read from private
letters accounts of particular outrages sad TO be COM
xnitted in America. We know, before war is termin
ated there or anywhere elre there will be Outrages
enough; but OF this think may be quite assured,
chat in the North ss well in the South and in the
South quite as much hs in the North there will he the
greatest possible disposition TO avoid anything which
can bring about quarrel with this country. (Hear,
bear.l Nothing could be more unfortunate for the
South nothing could be unfortunate for the
North whatever quarrels there NAV be between the
two sections Of the American Republic than that the
uuarrel should extend TO this country feel confident
that we not anxious TO remain al peace with
both the sections Than they are TO continue good
terms with u.s. 10 the policy which the noble lord has
snnounced-that Of strict neutrahty-I agree cor
daily as any other member Of this House, and think
Ct would be wellf that policy not confined merely
20 the Government but If individual members OF the
Houfe were as fr az possible adopt the line of
action. Hear, bear.) IL Is an unhappy thing that
these dissensions should have arisen but let hope
and hope STILL that among population more extern
ayely educated, probably than the population OF any
Other country In the world it may yet be possible 10
surmount the difficulties which have arisen IN that
country without those extensive cruetes which a.
ways accompany civil war. With that expression OF
