ANOTHER SPEECH ny MIR. TRAIN.


, Mr. Train on EngIand's NcutraII.
tynnd Gen. BWtIIcr's PI ccla MIA
tiOn.
We find room only for the following
extract Of one OF M. Trains recent
spcerhs:
!, NEUTRALITY.
Mr. Train Neutrality signifies weak.
ness. All sthall minds hesitate. Lack OF
decision shows lack of power. Generals
who win battles are not neutral men,
Neutrality on the American Rebellion is
taking sides in disguise. The man who
is soit on the American Question is soft
on all questions. l des2ise soft Ameri
cans as well as soft Enplishmen. 1t is
impossible for an honest man 10 be neu .
trail lie who is not for me is against me.
The Indian Thug is remarkable for his
neutrality until his garoIte is round your
neck. The Camancbe chief is a neutral
to your face, while his scalping knife
sleeps in his belt. Dumollard, the Flench
murderer, was neutral before he des.
troyed his victims. There is no half way
between patriot and a traitor. The wo,
man who permits the esst familiarity
has already lost the foHhdalion of her
virtue.
Let her remain neutral in the presence
Of the liber;ine and she is los.. The
Young man counting his employers mon.
icy must not b a neutral-if he does not
wish TO end his life upon the gallows.-
The coat / have made tits exactly the
neutral bankers and leading Americans
abroad, who are waiting foi victories be
lore hosting Secession OF Union flags
The garment Is not out of place on Eng
lan's back. Neutrality in England is
treachery. Americans say, "England,
with all thy faults, we love still!' Eng.
Iishman suy. "America, with all thy vir.
tues, we continne to hate theev' Strong
men choose sides; weak men arc ALWAYS
neutral once an idiot, always 6h idiot.
The world is packed with fools.
Neutrality IS itnbeciliiy, 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 Savior
was not neutral. England for
three generations has been unjust to
America. lie that is unjust in little is
unjust in much. The maxim comes from
an ancient and respectable authority -
Unjust in small matters for half centu-
ry, England was just ripe for being un-
just 10 great matters during our Revolu-
lion. Neutrality is disguise-asSs5sins
are neutral before they use the poignard.
The tiger in The jungle is q neutral be-
fore Re plunges 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. BUTLER's PROCLAMATION.
A love Of fault finding is no proof ot
wisdom. Your criticisms on General
Buffers proclamation are as just as your
pretended love for America is honest.--
Critics, says Wycherly, are like thieves
who, condemned to execution, choose the
business Of executioners rather than be
hung. Your distortion of the New Or.
leans proclamation is worthy of the peo-
plr that were AbOlitoniss when they
thought, by preaching that doctrine, they
could break up our Republic Pro
Slavery advocates when they believed
that we should preservS the Union. The
proclamation you have dishonesty trans.
lated. Do you mean 10 say that You be-,
leve Gen. Butler issued the order for i'm.
moral purposes? Do you really under
stand its wording to signify that uubri.
died license was giveh 10 The Federal ar.
my? The very idea is contrary to the
instincts oi our nature, insulting to the
American people, and outraging The SEN
eeo Of our race. You give the order a
meaning never intended. Il was unfor-
tuuately wordcd. but the spirit Of the or
/: der was proper one. Ladies hold the
remedy. Let them remain in doors, lei
them behave like women. not like human
,igresses. The terrible slaughter Of our
soldiers will some day lay heavy upon
r their cOnsciences, Women who go out
OF their way TO insult Federal officers whr
have treated them with every courtesy, by
pouring hot water ou. of their windows
when they pass, or throwing vitriol il
their faces. on the pave, or 80 far unsex'
ing themselves as 10 strike an officer, ough
not to object, when martial law is ordered
to proclamations that enforce sivility
where rudeness was 80 naked.
J, The municipal law permits no disorder
r in the Street. Women breaking i, ar,
sent to the calaboose. That is the terrible
4 order-nothing more, nothing less-,ha
arouses England and provokes this de
bate. Lord Palmerston takes advantag,
II of it 10 have another fling at the Ameri
}. cans, and Gregory and Walsh are ma;
d With delight. Lord Carnarvon also bring
out Earl Russell, and all the newspaper
clap their hand 10 joy--snd you, gentle
J. men, echo the sentiment Of The land D,
J. you remember picture in the Illustrated
: News during the Sepoy revolution?
s do; and three fsatdrts we're prominent
cannon, English officers and sepoy mes
% sengers bearing flag Of truce. Thi
. picture has another side: the officers con

D, truce tied around they we're blown towar,
y the camp from whence they came.
