induces as TO give the following full repsrs Of
hia remarks:
l, for one, said the right honorable gentle
man, exercising my own poor faculties as best
could, have never felt shat Eoglaud had an,
reason connected with her own civil interests
for desiring the disruption Of the American
Union. Can understand those who cay thas 1t
is for the general interests Of nations that no
State should swell to the dimensions of con.
tinent Can understand those who say--and
l confess it to be lay own opinion-that Il is
greatly Tor the interest of the negro race that
they should have to do with their own masters
alone, and not--as hss hitherto been the caae-
with their Own masters, backed by the whole
power OF the Federal Government Of the Unit
ed States: lCheers Bscsuse, pray observe,
that that has been ;he etate of things thai has
subssted here;oioro, and 10 which some. n
think mistakenly, in the interest of the negro.
have thougbs Is desirable to return. Tie laws
by which the slaves have been governed have
been laws made not by the Federal Governn ent,
bpt by tue owners of thoIe elaves; but the en-
tnrcemens ct the laws made by the owners Of
the slaves has Dct so5ted 10 the hands of the
owners OF the slaves alone. They have had
right--a constitutional right by the Constiiu-
tlon OF the United Staies-to be supoorted
against their own slaves in the execution OF the
laws that the slaveoWDers have made, by the
whole poves OF the American UlIon, l car,
therefore, very well undssstip the argument Of
tboae WHO think thai 1t is particularly TO bs de.
sired In she intesesta Of the cegro race. the.
che American Ulion should be reconstructed =
But must confess, for reasons that need net
now explain, that do not think that England
has bGd any Interest In the disruption of that
Union; my OWL private opinion IL that it was
rather the interest Of Eaglsnd that the Union
| should continue, l kpc~ that Il is not an
opinion generally sharedi bus at any rase,
gentlemen, whatever view We may take Of that,
think we ell feel that the course which her
Msjesty's Ministers have endeavored 70 pursue
namely, that OF maintaining strict neutral.
ity under all circumstances that have heretofore
passsd-has been a right course, and has been
the expression Of the general sense Of the
community, tCheers.l
There Is, Ond there can be no doubt, shat
where two parties are i1 great evaporation, IL
10 not ssail unlikely that he who observes
strict neutrality will offend both; because, in
point OF faos, the state Of mind 10 which h!s
oonducs is likely tobs judged of for the moment
0y either disputsnt, is nota state of N nd in
which 1t is fair that We should expect from them
perfectly impartial conelusionsg But what we
may naturally expect is this, that en- honest
course Of neutrality will be recogaiz sd-thal
course; ] mean, which we have pursued up to
this day--Uill be recognized after this unhappy
struggle has passed away, and when the circnm-
stances shall be calmly viewed. Bat | must
confess that 1t appears to me that II either parsy
have right to hnd fault with US, Il is the Con.
tederale rather than the Federal party. fHesr,
hear.l mean this, II we have deviated at ali
iiom neutrality, our deviation has been against
tue Confederate rather than the Federal party.
Inc conrse we have taken has been this: We
nave preserved perfect neutrality but we have
permitted the export Of arms and wsrlike etores
--We have permitted II to Two parties-to the
Ccntederatss, all Of whose ports were blockaded
~ the Nofthern feet; and TO the Federals, who
have had perfect power to import whatever arms
aOd stores they pleased. l Jhink that course
has been the right and jus. course; but think
the very statement of the fact proves that al
any rate we have not displayed q bias unfayoF-
able to the claims of the Northern Ssates.--
lCheers Bat now, gentlemen, would for a
noment make an appeal to you on behslf of the
people OF the Nofthern States--I mean SO fsi
% regards our appreciation Of their positjons--
| Sreater aiioSances are TO be made for heat and
exaspeFation In the state Of public opinion ip

perhaps could ever fairly be claimed by any other
nation. Oniy consider what their previous his
tory haabeen. They have never drank the bitter
cup Of misfortune, disappointm ent, and mort6-
callon. They have had but to will that thing
should be done, and ID was done. Their course
has been course Of prosperity and advancement
