Gods law, while falsehood is the DEVILS counsel
Give me sneers and let me be honest, or give me
cheers and make me a traitor. England ap-
pauds secession aud Kisses unity and patriotism,
not because she loves the South more, but the
North less. Ny words may annoy you, but my
points will force you to admit.
ENGLAND JEALOUS OF AMERICA.
How absurd for the learned speaker to say that
America is always insulting Er and. If it is
true, why not resent it2 When tfs gauntlet is
thrown down, why don't you take it up? No,
Mr.. Chairman the fault of oul people is they
think too much of England, else they woal3 ~
feel so sensitive at your most manly,
ous unnatural conduct hate your iou
are misinfosmed. It's the teslder WHO enyles the
younger nation.
The father in England is jealous of the son who
is growing up to overshadow him. no more prom
inent trait crops out of English character. The
First George hated the Second, the Second dis
liked the Third, and the Third George was al
ways at war with the Fourth Pitt and the King
were always plotting against Fox and the Regent.
Royalty gives the fashion-nobles copy and hate
their first born sons the landed gentry follow
and dislike theirs, and the middle classes, under
the barbarous old feudal laws of primogeniture,
initiate all the vices of the aristocracy, without
copying any of their virtues. Hence the envy
and jealousy of the father towards the son who
will supersede him in the entail. This is the evil
Of prmogeniture such is England. The aris-
tocracy rule. The middle classes assent, and the
people are called mob
This diversion have made to prove that the
bears the father no il-will, while the contrary
is proverbia individuals are too much like
States not to apply the simile to nations. Eng
land, the father, is jealous of America, the first
born. But the child bears no envy against the
parent. No America neither fears you nor
hates you. Her annoyance at your strange treat
ment arises from affection, not revenge Besides,
victors bear no malice against the vanquished. 1t
is the punished who brood revenge not the pun
isher. America has always been the VICTOR
England was defeated on both occasions. There
fore, it is England who broOds over the dis
grace, not America, country that was never con-
quered.
ABsURDITY OF FOREIGN INTERVENTION.
Intervention in American affairs With whom ?
The North or South? Not the South, for Yam
cey says it is impossible. Besides, it would be
declaring war against the United States. Not the
North, for America is not so low as to choose an
arbitrator in the hour of victory Would Have
lock have allowed Prussia to have intervened as
he was going into Lucknow? Would France
have allowed America to intervene in favor of
Austria before Solferino Would England have
allowed Intervention in the Crimea as she was
walking through the Redan and Malakof into
Sebastopol? Not mite of it. Let Napoleon
do so wild thing as to dare interfere in our af-
fairs, and you may purchase his crown for shil-
ling. Let England desecrate our soil by invasion
or intervention, and even the crown Jewels of these
islands may as wei be offered to the highest bid
Der. [Hear and Question: The gentleman
says Question; )" the simple fact of his Interrupt
ton shows how closely sail to the subject under
debate.
AMERICA NO LONGER A CHICKEN.
England may not be accustomed to this kind
of talk but it is high time she understood that
America ceased TO be a chicken when she
smashed up all the European navies by that little
naval sea fight at Fortress Monroe, which the
Times, in its geographical wisdom, locates at the
mouth of the Potomac Do you suppose that
the American President would have allowed the
French Minister to have gone to Richmond with
out the sanction of the Administration ? The
least thought would explain to you that Lincoln
and Seward planned the whole affair." and in ac-
Acknowledgement for the services rendered by France
the President pays the Emperor the high compli-
ment of going on board the French frgate at
Washington-the first time it was done by
any President The Minister most likely went
down to tell Davis that the Emperor was ashamed
of his acquaintance.
WANT OF SYMPATHY WITH AMERICA
Why is it. gentlemen, you see nothing in Amer
lea to commend Why do you look so dsheart-
ened at the announcement of the fall of New Or
leans? Does it remind you of the picture of
General Jackson? Why is it you continually do
cry that the next mail will bring another Bull
RunP will tell you, gentlemen; it is because
the wish is the thoughts father. Federal yicto-
ries make you miserable; hence you pray every
night for Federal reverses. Everything against
US delights you. Everything in our favor you
disclaim. You would illuminate all London, if
you dared to, if Mcclellan was defeated at York
town. No wonder you object to my mentioning
Yorktown. 1t certainly bas some pleasant mem
ories to Engshmen. Mcclellan has been before
the town about the same time that Washington
was in another century, and the traitor Davis will,
most likely, not wait SO long to give up his sword
as Lord CORVALLIS did on similar occasion.
POWER OF OUR ARMY.
Our army is full of Washingtons apd Koscius-
kos and Lafayettes. Faraday saw the thunder
storm in the dish of water. Watts saw the power
of steam as the kettle sung its song of triumph
over the fre-wood So the true Union man felt
in his bones the destiny God has ordained for his
chosen people. Ich Diem, was his war cry as
well as that of the Prince of Wales. The al
mighty dollar has furnished you with many
sneer. The almighty cotton has also stimulated
your sarcasm, but in future we intend to make
you respect the almighty Union. The reserve
power of America is terrible. Every soldier is a
voltaic battery; every officer steam engine in
breeches, for the future to be of American man
,ifacture Our revolution is war of ideas, war
of freedom, war for oppressed mankind. There
is more brains in Northern hands than Southern
heads-that is why we take the belt.
