Americans were only tnglishmen in another
hemisphere, with superior education TO them
selves. Laughter.) As he told them be-
fore, the question at issue was not a question
Of abolition or of slavery. For twenty-five
7 years they had been doing nothing but talk
ing about negroes and black men, but they
would excuse him if he stated his decided
preference for white men, and that he liked
white women better than black women.
(Laughier.) He could assure them he would
rather have one white child than a dozen
negro babies. (Laughter.) That, of course,
was only a matter of taste The English
were always telling what they had done in
the West Indies, but he had made the dis
covery that the twenty millions they paid
was only added TO the national debt, and
England, with her usual mOdesty, treated
the matter as a cash transaction. Hear

81 per cent of the cotton received In Eng
land was sent from America hence, if they
took two-thirds of the cotton, they owned
two-thirds of every negro in the country.
The other night Mr.. Yancy made a speech
at Fishmongers' Hall about freedom of
thought and freedom of speech in the South,
but he could tell them that for thIrty-three
years there had been nothing Of the kind in
the country. Hear. hear.) The Southerner
came TO New York, lectured in their halls,
and bearded them i'll their homes, yet was
treated with every courtesy; but when the
Northerner went TO the South he was muz-
zled on the very threshold, insulted in every
way and did they not, the other day, take
a British captain from his ship and tar and
feather him on the quay at Mobile They
never did that in the North.
The Northerners step by step and year by
year had always been their friends. Who
had consumed the enormous quantities of
manufactured goods which had been sent
from this country? There were twenty
millions of people in the North, and but ten
millions in the South, and it was the North
that had consumed them, and the North had
also furnished the money TO plant the cotton
in the South. The North had all the manu-
featuring interests of the country. The
mechanics came from the North. They
could not get a bale of cotton from the
Southern plantations, unless il was moved
by Northern capital, and when it was in a
Southern port it could not 90 further without
the aid of Northern ships. The thousands
of miles of railroad had been built by North
en men and paid for by Northern money.

against them. Cotton is bought by draft,
usually at sixty days. They get cash for
raw material, while the North trusts from
six to eighteen months. They are now fight

England is Secession her army is Seces-

Secession, and her bankers vote for treason;
her merchants cheer for traitors, and her
statesmen endorse all, and even laid the

with her. Hurrah for treason, Ireland
