Mr.. GiadstCne en- the COufedeeacy.
The following is thas portion Of Mr. Glad
stones speech on American affairs, recently de
Ivered at Newcastle, which has created Sc
much sensation in England:
We have suffered before. We have
gone through the very sgonies Of this dsmem
bermsut against which the Northern people O
the United states are now striving. We have
gone through it. and now know that it was noi
bad thing for US ter all Hear, hear. But they
have not gone through it, and say let us bear
with them al We can let rs maintain toward
thema kindly temper letus not allow ourselves to
| feel the smallest irritation when We see our
/ selves adversely criticised on the other side OF
4 the water and let Us Be very cautious about in-
/ dU.ging IN adverse criticisms uDOn them on this
/ side Of the water Hear, hear Depend upon
| 1t that that course, steadily pursued, viii bear
| its reward and il is q course which upon ey-
| cry ground OF courtesy and christian feeling
/ they may expect that we should continue iu
/ They are our kin. They were, if they are not
now, our customers; and We hope they will be
| our customers again. A laugh But they
have shown also, when their good feelings could
| have far play, tEst they entertain warm
affections toward England Whatever mo
mentary irritation may cross the mind
of that people, never let Us forget their
4 4 n
Let every Englishman engrave upon the tablets
OF bis heaTt the recollection Of that memorable
day and If occasionally he feels tempted to
anger by seeing his country misTeprehendsd OF,
It may be, misTepreseutsd, let him calm bis ten
dsncy to excited sentiments by that recollection.
Hear, hear. 1t is the more necessary to do
this because I think We are pretty much of one
mind as to what IS 10 come. We know quite
well that the people Of the Northern States have
not yet drank OF the cup they are still trying
to bold It far from their lips-the cup which ali
the rest Of the world see they must nevertheless
drink Of. We may have cur own opinions about
slavery we may be for or against the South
but there is no doubt thai Jefferson Davis and
other leaders Of the South have made an army
they are making, il appears, a navy; and they
have made what is more than either-they have
made nation. Loud cheers 1 cannot say
that have viewed with any regret their failure
u establish themselves in Mary land. 1t appears
to ne too probable that if they had been able to
establish themselves there the CONSEQUENCE Of
their military success in that aggressive move
ment would have obtained power in that State;
that they would have contracted actual or viz
tual engagements with that political party, and
that the existencs Of those engagements, hamper
ing them IN their future negotiations with the
Northern States, might have created new OBJ
stacle TO pesce. Hear Now, from the
bottom Of our hearts we should desire that no
new obstacle to peace shOuld stsrt up. We may
anticipate with certainty the success Of the
Southern States, so far IS regards their separa-
ton from the Moth. Hear, hear. / cannot
but believe that that event is es certain So any
event yet future and contingent can be. Hear, |
hear Bat il is from a decided feeling that
that great event is likely to happen, and that
the North will have to suffer that modification,
that 1 earnestly hope that Eagiishmen viii do
nothing to ii hict additional shame, s0rr0w or
pain upon those who have already suffered
much, and who Will probably have to suffer
more. Hear Il may be that time might
arrive s. hsn il would be the duty of Europe TO
Offer the word of expostulatiOn or friendly aid |
toward composing the quarrel. If it be even |
possible that sUcn time should arrive, how i'm !
poriaut that when that word IS spoken it should |
address itself TO minds not embitteIed by the |
recOllectiOns that unkind things have been said
and done toward them in Europe, and, above |
sll, in Eag and, the country which, however
they may fad fault with it from tms to time,
has, we know, the highest place in their asmira- |
ton aud esteem. [Cheers
