Geo. Francis Train, the great champion
Of America in England, has been arrested
on a charge Of melting treason to the Brit

his rashness deeply lamented. His crime
consists in using the following eloquent

in secret meeting:

America and the Disuniou of Ireland from
Great Britain. Loud cheers.) Those
cheers foreshadow already the downfall of
England. (Hear.) Englishmen are so

aristocracy have all the lawyers to speak for
them. Some day men will be considered
men, and the simple annals of the poor will
be heard in Heaven. (Cheers.)
