ANOTHER SPEECH BY MR.. TRAIN.
Mr.. TRAIN ON ENGLAND's NEUTRALIr
AND GEN. BUTLER's PROCLAMATION.
We find room only for the following
; extract Of one Of Mr.. Trains recen
speeches.
NEUTRALITY.
Mr.. Train-NeutralIty designate
weakness. Al small minds hesitate
Lack Of decision shows lack Of power
Generals who win battles are not neu
trail men. Neutrality on the Ameri
can rebellion is taking sides in disguise
The man who is soft on the American
question is soft on sll questions.
despise soft Americans as well as sof
Englisbmen. He who is not for is
against me. The Indian Thug is re.
markable for his neutrality until his
gsrotte is round your neck. The Ca.
manche chief is neutral to your face,
while his scalping knife sleeps 10 his
belt. Dumollard, the French murder
er, was neutral before he destroyed his
victims. There is no halfway be.
tween a patriot and traitor. The wo-
man who permits the least familiarity
has already lost the foundation OF her
virtue.
Let her remain neutral in the pres
ence of the libertine and she is lost
The young man counting his employ
er's money must not be q neutral-if
he does not wish to end his life upon
the gallows. The coat | have made
fits exactly the neutral bankers and
leading Americans abroad-who are
waiting for victories before holsting
Secession Or Union flags. The gar
ment is not out Of place on England's
back. Neutrality in England is treach-
cry. Americans say, England, with
all thy faults, we love thee still Eng
lishmen say, America, with all thy
virtues, we continue to hate thee
Strong men choose sides-weak men
are always neutral; once an idiot, al
ways an idiot. The world is packed
with fools.
Neutrality is imbecility. No man
can serve two masters. He must
either love the one and hate the other,
or hate the one and love the other
Our Saviour was not neutral. Eng
land for three generations has been un-
Just to America. He that is unjust in
little is unjust in much. The maxim
comes from an ancient and respectable
authority. Unjust in small matters
for half century, England was Just
ripe for being unjust in great matters
during our revolution. Neutrality is
disgu Use; sssassins are neutral before
they use the poignard. The tiger in
the jungle is a neutral before he plung-
es on his victim. When you wish to
destroy an enemy you FIRST conceal
your plan. Error and injustice are
neutral before becoming arrogant and |
impudent.
GEN. Buffers PROCLAMATION.
A love Of fault-fnding is no proof of
Your criticisms on Gen. But
ler's proclamation are as just as your
pretended love for America is honest.
Critics, says Wycherley, are like
thieves, who. condemned to. execution,
choose the business Of executioners
rather than be hung. Your distortion
IF the New Orleans proclamation is
worthy of the people that were aboli-
ionists when they thought by preach
ng that doctrine they could break up
'ur Republic-and pro-slavery sdyo-
:ates when they believed we should pre-
erve the Union. The proclamation
'ou have dishonesty translated. Do
'ou mean to say that you believe Gen.
Butler issued the order for immoral
purposes.
Do you really understand its word ;
ng to signify that unbridled license
ras given to the Federal army? The !
cry idea is contrary TO the instincts
{ our nature, insulting to the Ameri. ,
an people, and outragiug the senses Of !.
ur race. You give the order a mean
,g never intended. It was unfortu- a..
ately worded but the spirit of the !
rider was proper one. Ladies hold

It them behave like women, not ike
uman tigresses. The terrible slaugh- 2

eaVy upon their consciences. Women - -
