GEO. FRANCIS TRAIN ON LORD
BROUGHANI,

On the 10th inst Mr. Geo. Francis
Train attended meeting at Arnold
Place Hall, Deckhead, Londou, where
the audience insisted upon his speaking
when he paid his respects to Lord
Brougham after the following fashion:
aEngland worships many gods, but
none more than Lord Broueham-
cheers land the Derby-day. fGheers
and laug gFter. The fulsome adulation
which you have lavished on Lord
Brougham tonight is as i'll timed as
the worship you bestow on the Derby
day. E0h!] Lord Brousham is the
most overrated man in Europe! ECries
of ne, no, and hear Brougham the
Great has become Brougham the Little.
The peoples champion has sunk into
the advocate of the aristocracy TOh,
and eleri-i We oiseers. The encese sere7eta.
iuentslawgers has changed into thessyco-
phantic Lord. His speeches, twenty,
thirty aud forty years since showed un-
doubted intellectual vieor- [cheersl +
but his Social Science platitudes are as
barren OF ideas as they are replete with
vanity, 10h, and hear. On the three
occasions [ have waded through the
many-colored essays which the Times
records under the endorsement of full
some leader, and each time l returned
my notebook to my pocket without
gaining point worthy of record [0h,
and bosh. Any schoolmaster would
give you a better essay in day s notice;
but any schoolmaster could not get the
essay into the Times. Hear The
fact is, Lord Brougham is good Illus
tration of wisdom gone to seed, Laugh
teri He wrote himself out years ago,
and talked himself out before | was a
schoolboy. His range of thought is
llmited-his style is stif-his manner
isms are painful. Hear. He is an
intellectual cucumber gone to seed-too
ripe for our age; we liked him better
when be was green; laughter England
worships MIN for what he has been; his
Social Science Congress is the weakne
of his dotage-a natural admiration So
ciety, of which he is the mutual admi-
ration--the sun surrounded by innu-
merable mstual admiration satellites
[Oh, and hear The old, You tickle
me and [ will tickle yon system. Hear
and. laughter You do these things
we'll in England. Lord Brougllam was
the associate of WiIberforee, Buxton,
Stephen, Clarkson and Zachary Macau-
lay. In the great abolition scheme
Eleud cheers he was in at the birth,
and was alive at the death, to graduate
as worshiper of treason, oh, a friend
of the slave owner, mo, hater of
America, no, ] and has been guilty of
preaching secession even in the House
of Lords. Cries of no, and voice,
''That accounts for Mr. Trains attack. I
You say no; and yet you cannot have
forgotten his speech a few nights siqce
to the peers when, speaking of Mr..
Seward's clever treaty ON the slave
trade, he spoke of it as a treaty made
with the Northern Government. Hear
hear. What does that convey? Why,
that You have already acknowledged
the Southern Confederaoy, and the
House of Lords is in communication
with the abolition Broug cham s personal
friends, the negro-breeding traitors Ma
son and Slidell. TOh, and cheers i
Treaty with the Northern Government!
The insult is palpable-and the more
SO because made in the House of Lords
The treaty is with the United States OF
America cheers as a whole not as a
part. Mr.. Adams is our Minister, not
Mason. Hear. Who doubts that
Lord Brougham's S intellectual power is
on the Wane when he makes such mis-
take. 1--WE years ago he ihsulted Mr.
Dallas, in the presence of the Prince Con-
sort, by personal allusion to the black
delegate who was present at the Con-
Fgress. Hear. True he called to
apologize, but our Minister refused to
see the old hbeler of our people. Only
two years ago he insulted the American
people because of slavery, and now in
suits them again for trying to abolish
Iit, Hear, and Shame. 1t is high
time.that Lord Brougham was laid upon
the shelf. His time has passed. Lord
Brougham, the Social Science toady of
the Peers, is no longer the once be-
loved Henry Brougham of the people
[ Cheers and dissEnt.] There goes
Brougham S carriage, said noble Lord
TO Sidney Smith. You see the B OUT
side. Yes replied She wit, tat there is
