LORD PALAERsroN on THE Dissolution
Lord Palmerston, in speech recently at a
public meeting in London, says:
Gentlemen the third event which, though
not accom- plished, is, l fear, too far advanced,
is taking place in another quarter of the Globe;
/ mean America. (Hear, hear.) We have too
much reason to fear that that Union, which
has existed not much less than a century, wi hich
has conduced to the happiness and pros perity
of our kinsmen on the other side of the At
Iantic is likely to be broken and disrupted L.
1t is not our business TO express, in regard to
that event, any other feeling than this-that t
we wish, from the bottom of our hearts, that
those disputes, whatever they may be, may
be settled by an amieable understanding
tcheers)-an that, whether that Union is
destined to remain unimpaired or whether
those States are determined TO separate in TO diff
ferent communities, our present prayer is that
the result may be Brought about by amicable
means-be it for maintaining the Union or be
it for dissolving the union-(hear, hear)-and
that the world may be spared the afflicting
snaetacie Of a hos tile conflict between brothers
and brothers. (IIear. hear.l
