Fhe Speech Of the Right Hon. Mr..
Gladstone, of Manchester.

Gladstone. of Manchester.
The English Chancellor of the Exche'
quer has lately spoken speech at Man
chester. 1t is q very remarkable produc'
ton, and deserves to be carefully consider.
ed now, and remembered hereafter.
The voice of Mr.. Gladstone is the voice
of the British Ministry, and We have no
reason to doubt, it is also, the voice Of the
British Nation. Lord Derby and his party
that class of men who always rule Eng
gland when her renown and glory are to
be the prizes of British statesmanship-are
now silent, because to stand up for British
interests with true craftsmanship would in
woke the Charleton clamor of negro philan'
thropy, engulphing their advocates under
the odium of sympathy for Shareholders -
Whosoever, then, desires to be we'll in.
formed in English political strategy, and
in the sympathies and sentiments of the
English people, will not disregard this voice
or be deluded by idle hopes that there will
be even tardy justice accorded to us
where nothing but cold and calculating
enmity exists and rules.
1t deserves attention, that while MIR.
Gladstone frankly avows English sympathy
for the United States and against US, be-
cause they are fighting ''for supremacy and
we for independence" he more than init
mates that active intervention and aid a.
gainst US is only withheld because he is
doubtful whether our enemy intends the
freedom of the African race.
He admits the disastrous mischief the
war has brought upon British interests,
and argues the conviction that the contest
is hopeless on the part Of our enemy; aud
yet, controlled by their sympathies at the
cost of British honor and faith, his Minis
try continues to recognize and submit to
the blockade of our ports, which inficts
the mischief, but is not effectual under the
rules which they have before the world
declared themselves bound by. All this
for the sake of the sympathy of the British
people for our enemies and their hostility
to US. Are not these things hereafter te
be remembered when this great contest
shall end, as Mr.. Gladstone knows and
avows it must end? The whole extract
from this speech is tiuged with apolegetie
cringing to the wonderful energy which hf
sees developed by the United States.
1t is thoroughly Enthusiastically English
1t does no discredit to their past history
and is the type of the history that is tt
come.
A few years, perhaps months only, ane
England will be found boastiug herself o
her friendship, when neither justice or ne
cessity requires. for us anything at he
hands. We know, as we'll as Mr.. Glad
stone knows, that the result will be wha
he proclaims; we know, too-and let ii
remember and teach it to our children
that we are not to be indebted to England
for anything, save that, by Withholding
from us her sympathy and the friendly in
ternational Offices which her own profes
siops of international law entitled Us to, VI
have been saved from the contamination o
being under obligations to her.
There are treaties of commerce hereafte
to be made-navigation and trade laws t.
be enacted-the carrying trade of our pro
ducts-the supply of manufactured goods
the products of workshops for our consump
tion, are prizes to be contended for. Whe1
that time comes let British sympathy 0
this day be remembered, to remain wher
it now is, and to hug, as now, its Yanke
fraternity with an equal and just measur
of our consideration.
There is entire coincidence of purpos
and sentiment between the Cabinets G
Washington aud of Loudon-between th
Stewards and Blairs of the one, and tn
RusseIls and Gladstones of the other--sav
only in this, that the former dare not ye
come up to the standard Of Fremont an
Hunter, where the latter and the Englis
are already posted.-Charleston Coar'e'
