EARL RUSSELL On THE AMERICAN WAR.
A grand banquet had been given to Earl
Russell at Newcastle upon Tyne. In the
course of the speech which his Lordsh p
made upon the occasion lie ALLUDED as .ol-
lows to the state of afIairS in America
Let US look for moment at no.her part
Of the world. at another country, which, ior
my part have also observed with the great
est lnterest-the United States of America.
1t appears to me that it would be a great
misfortune to the world il that expert nent
in free government, which though not car
ried out on exactly the same principles as our
own, was conducted on principles which had
been devised with great wisdom, 1t would
be; | say, very great misfortune II any
thing were to happen to that State. Cheers
am sorry to say that those events have hap
pened, and we now see two parties contend
ing together, not upon the question Of slavery
though that, | believe, is the original
cause OF the c0nilict-nOt COntendIng with
the respect to free trade and paotection, but
contending as so many States Of the Old
Wcrld have con!endej, the one side for en-
pire and the other for power
Far be it from us to set ourselves up as
Judges in This matter; but can not help ask
ing myself as affairs progress in the contest,
to what good end can it lead? Supposing
this contest ended, by the reunion Of its diff
erent parts, that the South should agree to
eater again with all the rights Of tie Consti
tuition, should we not again have the fatal
subject of slavery brought in along with them
hur' sh, that slavery which, no doubt,
caused the disruption, and which we all agree
must sooner or later, cease from the face Of
the earth. [Cheersl Well then, gentlemen,
as you will see, if this quarrel could be made
mp should we have those who differed with
Mr. Lincoln at the last election carried at the
next, and thus the quarrel would recon-
mence, and, perhaps, a long civil war follow.
On the other hand, supposing the United
States competent TO conquer and subdue the
Southern States; suppoSing that should be
the result OF long military conflict; sup
posing that that should be the result Of some
years of civil war, should we not have the
material prosperity OF that country in a
great degree destroyed? Should we see that
respect for liberty which has so long dstin-
guished our North American brethren?-
ICheers1 Would not the North be necessi
lated to keep in subjectiol those who had
been conquered; and would not that very
materially interfere with the freedom Of ma
tions? Cheers] And if that should be the
unhappy result to which we at present look
forward if by means such as these the re-
union Of the States should be brought about
is it not the duty of those men who have
embraced the precepts OF Christianity to see
whether this conflict can not be avoided?
Gentlemen, have made these observations
to you upon matters, as | have said, deeply
affecting to us all, but not matters which the
Government of this country has any imme
diate power, or, indeed, any immediate in.
terest Had they been cases OF that kind, il
would not have been consistent with my
duty az Foreign Secretary to have spoken tC
you in detail upon such subjects. But, witt
regard to the duties attaching to my office
| can only point out to you, if it is at all ne
cessary to point out, that the world di5turb.
ed by assertions OF nationality on the one
han1 and by assertions OF authority on the
other, by conflicts and disturbances occurring
almost daily in some parts of Europe, as vel
as in America Cheers lin these cases il
is the duty of the Foreign Minister Of thi,
county, it is the duty Of the head OF the
Government Of this country, to watch close
ly as to what happens to respect the inde-
pandence of all foreign nations, but not lei
go any portion of that caution and vigilance
which becomes the Ministers Of England a,
this time; not to impair any part of the in.
fluc1 ce of this country because that infu.
ence may be used in the cause Of freedom and
humanity, hear, and cheers not to lower
in any respect, the power of this country, be.
cause that power may be absolutely nccessa.
ry to preserve the freedom OF Europe, to vim
dicate the independence OF nations, and to
guard our own dignity and freedom.
