Another Speech from George T.
Train on the Rebellion.

From the London American, January 8.
WE are pleased to notice the great revul-
sion of feeling in this country in favor Of
peace. The press is less warlike, and the
speakers in the discussion halls, where pub
lic opinion is manufactured, more conciia-
tory. Although appearances have been
against it, we are convinced that the great
mass Of the English people are friendly to
America, and as anxious to shake hands
with the Americans as the Americans are to
shake hands with the English and be friendly.
We warmly reciprocate the kind forget-and-
forgive leader in Mondays Times.
We were pleased to see at the discussion
on the American question, in the lslington
Debating Hall, on Saturday evening, that
the large audience repeatedly applauded the
speakers who favored the Federal Govern
ment. Mr.. Train, by his recent recantation,
as the journals call it, on the Trent affair,
seems to have entirely regained his former
popularity. Many Of the country papers
have reproduced from tho London american
his speech, with highly complimentary COM
ments, believing, as they say, that it fore
shadows the action of the American Govern
ment. His predictions as to the certain
downfall Of the Copper Head Conspiracy,
and Of the triumphant success of the Federal
Government in preserving tho Uuion, the
Constitution, and the laws, are likely to be
soon verified by incoming arrivals. He
mapped out a chart in the debate alluded to,
for the rising generation of the West that is
worthy Of consideration. The audience
seemed determined to have him take part in
the debate, although lie told them he came
to listen, not to speak. We give an extract
of that portion Of the speech bearing on tho
future:- lErsts- I'D -.
Mr.. TRAIs.-Can the South subjugate the
North? That is the way to put the Ameri-
can question in an understandable way to
Epglishmen. Can three millions Of disor-
ganized traitors overpower twenty-five mil
lions of united patriots or, in other words,
is it possible for four hundred thousand slave
owners, who have succeeded 10 euslaving
four millions of blacks, bring again iito
bondage twenty free States, and make slaves
OF the free citizens of the North as they have
of the white men Of the South? P-ocrasti- (
nation may be thief, but this time you will
find him an honest man. General Time is
the best officer We have in Cur army-next
in rank is General Patience! Wait few
mails longer, and England shall be satisfied
hat the Americans have not disgraced their
fathers. The flag already floats \
over thirty-two States, and even while !;
peak think hear booming over the ocean
he sweet music Of the Union cannon play
ng the artillery requiem of Death to Trea-
ION Omnipotence is with us-there is no.
uch word as fail. Providence is always on
be side of the strongest battalion. The voice
II the Union cannon is the voice of God.
Dur camp covers three million square miles, !,
Dur army is the army of freedom through
'ut the world. Europe wants more air, and
America isfghting for millions in this hcmi- |,
pbere as we'll as for millions in that. +
" In vain, our kindred shores to part, 4
Arewaves between US thrown;
The tide which warns British heart
Is that which fills our own"
Applause We fsh. for millions of Union J
