When Iallude to the downfsll Of England,
mean the uprising of the people-(hear)
when men shall have votes and not be call
ed the MOB. The American rebellion is the
worlds rebellion, and the life Of America is
the death of England British statesmen
have acted on that hypothesis. America viii
live, England viii die-each is the law Of ma
tions. Prosperity, then adversely. The au-
tithesis follows everything in nature right,
left. W, down-abuse man, then praise him
strong, weak, young, old When man
is very i'll be must get better or die. The
runnerj at the top Of his speed must slacken
or fall. So the nation that has mounted the
last round of the ladder must drop or descend
step by step. CCheers) America is going
up, England is coming down. The downfall
Of England commenced the moment the gov
ering classes laid their plans for sapping away
the liberties of the people. TAXATION WITH

Cloud oheers.) Revolution is catching
like laughter, fever, or speculation. One
suicide follows another; and more murders
have taken place during the last few weeks
then the previous ten months-When an ae-
cident happens in the morning, something
goes wrong each hour in the day-one man
gapes and then the whole party begins to
open their mouths. Laughter) The French
Revolution in torty-eight inaugurated revO-
luton in Italy-revolution in Hungary-re-
voIution in Poland, and two hundred shop
keepers ranged themselves in line to stop
revolution in London. Some Revolutions
are silent--others noisy, the Thirteenth Cen
tury revolution was silent-the Norman over
came the. Saxon, ending the tyranny OfnatiOn
over nation. The Eighteenth Century revo-
luton was also silent ending the property in
man. The sBarons under tie 5Plantsgenets,
Mscauley says, degraded the peasants to the
level Of the swine and oxen they tended
When England abolished the slavery of the
body the governing classes commenced en-
shaving the mind. Their success may be seen
by going into the back country, and talking
with the serfs you fnd there. CHear.) There
are no such people IN America. Lafayette,
when riding through the crowded streets Of
Boston years ago saw the thousands of smil-
ing faces and the well dressed men that lined
the road, and asked, "Where are your com
mon people ?" "There," replied the Mayor
"are all the common people We have in
America. a" (Cbeors 81
There are sic millions Of a5ls-Jodied men in
England aohose position in lo,0er than the
American sJareS. Five negroes are allowed
three votes by the Constitution, which makes
a negro three-6fths of man but in Eng
land he Is. not counted so high as the cattle
of The field or the trees in the forest Even
the million of voters on the lists have no act
ual representation. They are bought and
sold as regularly as corn. or hemp, OF iron.
ou can look at the share lists in the Reform
and the Carlton Clubbs They viii tell you
to pound the cost of every rotton borough
in the kingdom. America is natural-Eng-
land is artificial. God was the engineer Of
America s water works-England, less famed,
employed men-God was our gardiner-man
yours Our corn feeds your millions as our
cotton furnishes them with clothes. Our in
stitutions give your masses hope for better
days, and our Revolution has furnished you
a platform for your Revolution. Parchment
is of no use-the bayOnet has sharper point
than the petition. Parchment is Of no use in
our day-the people must act.
The dO,0qtaH Of England is-rapid when
her colonies fan of. The heart of loyalty
must be feeble when its extremities decay.
The colonies Of England for their own pro-
lection, will be obliged to shake of the incu-
bus of the old country. Canada already is
rolling off the reel. &
Before the election of another American
President Canada willbe nation. (Cheers)
As a dependency, she is pauper. As na-
ton she is a millionaire. (Hear) Ten min

America viii acknowledge Canada as Q sister
state. Hssr) Are there no statesmen in
Canada equal to the opportunity
DEATH has come MoUREIEG is in the Pal
ace. FAMINE is knocking loudly at the door,
The raven is still croaking evermore. These
are fulfilled. The last is fire, and
that comes when the scenes of 1880 and '36
are on the stage again- (Cheers) Who
then can save the corn ricks? Who then
can stop the rawlings Of the hungry7 "Damn
the people, said George ", "shoot them
down, the monarchy will last my time. ."
(Shame) That game is played out shed one
drop Of blood, and the French Revolution will
in England loud cheers)
The mouauchies of Europe, like gaTuIuous
old men, are propping each other up with
the hope of the downfall of America. Hear
them chatter and try to stand firmly on their
weak legs-sans teeth, sans eyes, sans every
this. (Cheers) Each saying to the other,
Republics are dead Hiserere Dominsl
Ameries is divided-the Union is gone--but
I am with the people. (Cheers.) I believe
that right is right, since God is God-and
right the day must win. To doubt it would be
disloyalty; to falter must be sin.
