speech at an agricultural show at Buckingham
bin which he made the following allusion TO the

/ Il is impossible for rs to consider ths con

north Of England ct q moment when We our

now do, without feeling the conviction that the

I 20 ou5r any opinion on the probable duration Of

times civil wsrs in history which psrtskes Of
mat characteT-be 1t the thirty years war, for
instance, or the struggle between Athens and
Laeedemon-were wars of unexampled durs-
ton, and wars that begin from indefinite causes.
without any precise object, are the wars that
last the longest.
Hitherto the manufacturing population of the
north OF England have been sustained in their
great calamity by the beneficial action Of the
existing Law and by the natural and spontane-
GUS charity OF those locally connected with

sure that on that occasiOn-if such an occasion
should arise-the great landed interest in eli its
classes wilt remember what they owe to their
suffering fellow -eountrymen- They will not,
under shOse circumstances, consider whether the
nsnufacturing population were their best Gus
toners but vii ] remember that they are our
brethren IN misfortune, and in so doing they
"lil prepare not only to fui6l the highest duty,

ICheers l think that in tbs position we are
placed la on this subject with America It is i'm
possible for as as Euglishmen to view what is
passing IN that country without feeling more
than ordinary emotion.
Far be it from me to make use Of any express

fearful and slmost unprecedented struggle which
Is now being carried on but whatever may
Representatives, may be the fate of the United
States-this may be said, that they havs GER
tainly increased our confidence in the energy
OF human nature, and that is a great exploit to
have performed; but, gentlemen, / think we
must ali feel that history has taught Us that for
else IS wanting than confidence in the energy Of
human nature. 1 think EngIishmeR cannot at
this moment but remember that those who pre-
oede US have achieved as great results as ever
were accomplished in America. Our predeces-
s0rs established this State and this society On

only freedom with order, but progress with ira
ditiOn. This has been the source Of our strength
and, although it does not become US TO pro-
claim it TO America, yet. while we treat them
with respect in their fearful struggle let US, as
be proud of the strong society Of
which we sTe members, the strength of which |
can only be attributed to the wisdsm of the pTiu-
ciples On which it is established. Loud cheer /
