Earl (Lord John RusseArs Speech on the Var an the
United &ates-Engtarc1's idea of the Restoration of
the Union.
From the London Times October l5.l
The noble Earl Russell visited Newcastle-0n-Tyne to
day. and the subject of most enthusiastic reception
In the afternoon he met by a crowded meeting of
the inhabitants in the Music Hall, Nelson street, and
was there presented with an address. The banquet
which took place in the evening" served in the Town
Hall, the ladies of Newcastle occupying the side gale
RES after dinner. The Earl of Durham occupied the
Chair supported his right by the Right Honorable
the Earl Russell, the Right Honorable 7. E. Headlam,
M T., Mr.. W. u. Beaumont, M. p, the Attorney
General (Sir w Atherton) Mr.. Henry Pease, M P,
Mr.. w ID. Seymour, Recorder Of Newcastle &C., &c.
After disposing of the usual loyal and patriotic toast
the noble Chairman gave the Health of Earl Russell"
prolonged cheers)
Earl Russell then rose amid storm of applause
When silence restored his Lordship said
Gentlemen it is with feelings of the deepest gratitude
that rise to acknowledge the toast which has been
drunk 1t has been my fate to have taken part in many
during tolerably long political life, and
take this appreciation of yours, of a set of
lightened, testimony that have done nothing to
impair the honour nure the interests of my country
loud cheers) Gentlemen let us look for moment at
another part of the world-from Italy of another
try which, for my part have also observed with the
greatest nterest-the United States of America 1t
appears to me that it would be great misfortune to
the world If that experiment in free government which,
though not carried in exactly the principles
our own, was conducted on principles which had been
devised with great wisdom. 1t would be- / say a very
great misfortune anything should happen to that State.
(Cheers)
am sorry to say that those events have happened,
and we now see two parties cOntending together not
upon the question OF slavery-though that believe is
the original cause of the cOnictno contending with
respect to free trade and protection but cortandng as
many States of the Old World have contended the
side for empire and the other for power Far be it
from US 10 set ourselves up judges in this matter but
cannot help asking myself, affairs progress in the
contest to what good end can it lead Supposng this
contest ended by the reunion of its different parts and
that the South should agree to enter again. with all the
rights of the Constitution, should we not again have
that subject of slavery brought in along with them p
(Hurrah) That subject Of slavery which caused, no
doubt the disruption, all agree must later
cease from the face of the earth. (Cheers
Well then, gentlemen, you will see if this quarrel
could be made up should not have those who differ
ed from Mr.. Lincoln at the last election carried back
into the Union, and thus, later the quarrel
would re-commence, and, perhaps, long civil fol-
low! On the other hand suppoSing the United States
completely to conquer and subdue the Southern
States suppCsbg that should be the result of long
military confic-suppOsing that should be the result
Of years OF civil War-shoud not have the
teral prosperity OF that country in great degree de-
strOyed should see that respect for liberty which
has so long distinguished our North American breth
and should not those Southern yielding
to force, and would not the North be necessated to
keep in subsection those who had been conquered and
would not that very materially interfere with the free
dom Of nations? And, if that should be the unhappy
result to which We at present look forward ii by means
such as these the reunion 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 cannot be avoided.
! Gentlemen, l have made these observations to you
upon matters have said deeply affecting ALL but
not upon matters in which the Government of this
try has any immediate power Or indeed any immediate
interest. Had they been cases Of that kind it would
not have been consistent with my duty as Foreign Sec
reary speak to you n detail upon such SUBJECTS but
with regard TO these duties only point out to you
If it is disturbed by assertions of nationality, by
sertions of authority the other side, by conflicts and
Disturbances occurring almost daily in parts Of Europe
well in America (cheers in these cases it is the
duty of the Foreign Minister Of this country 1t is the
duty Of the head of the Government Of this country tC
watch closely to what happens to respect the inde
dependence of ali foreign but not to let go any
part of that prudence and vigilance which becomes
ministers Of England at this time; not to impair an.
part of the influence of this country, because that nu
ence may be used in the Of freedom and human
-("Hear, hear" and cheers NOT to lower 10 an
respect the power Of this country because that powe
may be absolutely necessary to preserve the freedom
'f Europe to vindcae the independence of nations an
s to guard her own dignity and freedom. (Cheers.)
a. Much has been said on the continent OF Europe
IS dsparagement of my noble friend who is now at tt
head Of the Government but, on examining thos
structures have never been able to make out MOI
than this that be was reckoned be too susceptib
with regard to the interests of his country. (Cheers
It shall be at little pains to vindcate him from such
,f attack Hear, hear.) On the contrary own th'
o my noble friend has constantly devoted bis attention
= keep clear and unsulIied the honour OF Engand-(a
It pause)-to keep unnjured unmpared the interests
1t England (cheers and is my privilege to help him
n that great task. (Cheers)
