Lord Palmerston's speech at Southampton
referring to the United States:
Gentlemen, the third event, which is,
fear, already not fully accomplished, but too
far advanced, has taken place in another quar-
tor of the gobe-I mean America. We have
to much reason to fear that that Union which
has now existed not much less than century,
which has conduced to the peace and prosper
ity of our kinsmen on the other side Of the
Atlartle, is likely to be broken and disrupted.
1t is not our business to express in regad to
that event any other feel ny than this, that we
wish from the bottom of our hearts that those
disputes, whatever they may be, may be set
tied by amicable understandings ear, hear
and that whether that Union is destined TO
remain unimpaired, or wl:ether those states
are determined to separate into different COM
munities, our tervent prayer is that the result
may be brought about by amicable means, be
ii for maintaining or dissolving the Union, and
that the world may be spared the affecting
spectacle of hostile conflict between brothers
and relations. Cheers"
