THE SOUTH THE ENEMY OF ENGLAND.
What was the Mexican war but South.
ern institution to get new slave laudsi-
What were the fiiiibustering expeditions
against Cuba but Southern institutions !
Where did Lopez hail from where Walk.
er! where did Lynch law, the Bowie
knife, and the duelist originate but in the
South! Is not repudiation purely South
ern institution? Who was it that showed
their sympathies against England in the
Russian war but the entire Democrat ic
party, which for forty years has been a
Southern institution! The Wings were
with England, but the Democrats cheered
the Russian arms. These are all Southern
institutions, and certainly negro slavery is
not an institution of the North. Where,
then, does England find food for sympa-
thy with the damned traitors in this hell
born conspiracyg Was it the North or
South who sent the contributions to Ire
land in their distress? Hear, hear.) Was
it the North or the South who put the
flags at balf-rnast on the death of Have
locks (Cheers.) And tell me, gentlemen,
who received the son of your Queen with
open arms, but the proud children of our
Northern country Boiling over with good
will to England, we took The Prince and
embraced him, because we loved this old
land and its mighty associations. (Cbeers.)
We loved to mix our history and lose il
even in yours. (Cheers.) We loved your
Christian Queen. and showed all these
things in the warm and hocest reception
we gave her son. Loud cheers Ali this
was in the Forth, but when he crossed the
border into the slave country, he FASTENED
away quickly for fear of repeated insult!
Yes, gentlemen, it was in the capital of
the so-called Confederate States, Richmond
that the Prince oc Wales feared the action
of the mob, and saw for The first time he
was not welcome 10 the land where once
his ancestors ruled. Hear, and true.
.-..,l !. HIS PLATFORM. -, .s, .
Here is my platform: Take Japan and
China for a model; that is, live a few
years by ourselves; [eheers;] clap an ex-
port duty on our cotton and tobacco, and
The Morrill, tariff. rob, and no, no. De-
stroy the port of Cbarleston-make Sc
bastopol of its forts and block up its chan
nels, and give Beaufort or Savannah all
its commerce. Partition the State and
inkblot her name out of the map. THear.
Build the Pacific railroad and establish a
line of swift steamers between San Fran
cisco and China. Make New York the
stock market of the world. Establish
military schools; have decent army-it
looks respectable when you want review.
Laughter. Augment the navy, and give
Spain hammering for her impudence in
landing in St. Domingo. IHear.] Wait !
till she gets into Mexico, under the guaran-
tee of France and England, and gets the
military roads built; then let the Northern
and Southern army close up and take Gu
ba as a dependency, and carry out the
Monroe doctrine. [Hear, hear.
Our strength is shown by this contest.
Six hours of such rebellion would have
changed dy nasty in France; six days in
Austria, Prussia, or Spain. Six weeks
without Minister would capsize the Eng
lish Constitution, but after six months of
America begins TO show her
strength. -.,...-..-- - - ..
OUR COUNTRY. 2
Christians hate Iscariot Romans despise
Cataliue. Americans loaihe the name of
Arnold. So will the Southern pirate chief
tains in their exile be marked with con-
tempt by the patriots of the Constitution
Separation is impossible! Annihilation alb
sud! Who ever heard of twenty millions
being annibilated?
2 HOW WE STAND. .,.f-.
The North flourishes amid the clash of
arms-stocks rising, bullion increasing,
ships launching, factories building. corn
shipping, while the South is paralyzed, and
the world wondering where it is all to end.
Why do consuls droop day after day unless
there is some terrible secret in Downing
street, Why does France borrow two mil
lions on the bank Of England unless France
is about to lead an army somewhere? Yer
lily the times are changing, and it may turn
out that America is not only the richest
country, but possesses one half the COM
mon sense, three fourths the enterprise,
and seven eighths the beauty of the world.
Laughter and loud applause.
Our Gun Is now Loaded.
