Jewels of these islands may as we'll be offered
to the highest bidder. Hear and "Ques-
toni The gentleman says "Question;"
the simple fact of his interruption shows
how closely sail to the subject under de-
bate.
AMERICA NO LONGER CHICKEN.
England may not be accustomed to this
kind CT talk but it is big time she IN,
derstocd thatAmerica ceased to be a chicken
when she smashed up all the European
navies by that little naval sea fight at
Fortress Monroe, which the Times, IN its
geographical avisdom, locates at the mouth Of
the Potonaae! Do you suppose that the
American president would have allowed The
French Minister to have gone to RichmCnd
without the sanction of the Administsa'
ton? The least thought would explain to
you that Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Reward
planned the whole affair, and in acknow~
cdgment for the services rendered by France,
the President pays the Emperor the high
compliment OF going on board the French
frigate at Washington e; the first time it
was ever done by any President. The Min
lister most likely went down to tell Davis
that the Emperor was ashamed OF bis ac-
quaintaDce.
WANT OF SYMPATHY WITH AMERICA.
Why is it gentlemen, you see nothing in
America to commend? Why do you LOOK
so dsheartened at the announcement OF the
fall of New Orleans? Does it remind you
of the picture of General jackson? Why
is it you continually do cry that the next
mail will bring another Bull Run? l will
tell you, gentlemen it is because the wish
is the thoughL's father. Federal victories
make you miserable; hence you pray every
night for feIeral reverse5. Everything
against US delights you. Everything in
our favor you disclaim. You would iIlunl-
nate al London, If you dared to, il McCiel-
Ian was defeated at Yorktown, No won
der you object to my mentioning Yorktown
It certainly has some pleasant memories to
Eoglishmen. Mcclellan has been before
the town about the same time that WASH
ington was in another country, and the trai>
tor Davis will, most likely, not wait so long
to give up his sword as Lord CORVALLIS
did On similar occasion.
POWER OF OUR ARMY.
Our army is full of Washiugtons and
Kosciuskos and Lafayettes. Faraday saw
the thunder storm 10 the dish of water.
Watts saw the power of steam as the kettle
sung its song OF triumph over toe hrewcod.
So the true Union man felt 10 bis bones the
destiny God has ordained for bis chosen
people. 'Ich Diem" was his war cry as
well as that of the Prince of Wales. The
almighty dollar has furnished you with
many sheer. The almighty cotton has
also stimulated your sarcasms; out in future
we intend to make you respect the almighty
Union. The reserve power Of America is
terrible. Every soldier is voltaic battery;
every officer q steam engine 10 bres ches, for
the future to be of American Manufacture.
Our revolution is war of ideas, war Of
freedom, war for oppressed mankind.
There is more brains 10 Northern hands
than in Southern heads-that is why We
take the belt.
ENGLISH PHILANTHROPY.
Even Wellington ard Bonaparte begin to
pale, with their one.bsrrel artillery cam.
paigns, when compared with our revolving
arms. Eugiands idea of liberty is freedom
for England and slavery for all mankind
| mean, providing it pays. Otherwise, then
slavery for England and freedom Tor all the
world. 1t is only question of money.
India gave mankind Conscience Greece
added Reason Rome, Will but America,
possessing conscience, reason, and will, took
out patent for Energy and Truth. When
England engaged passage on board the
Secession pirate che accidentally got into
the wrong boat, and postecity will refuse to
pay back the passage money.
RECEPTION OF THE SLAVE TRADE TREATY.
If you have the least spark of honesty
about slavery, why don't you praise our
people for abolishiDg slavery in the District
of lGiumbia? Why do you not get up
an cheer for Mr.. Seward for making a
treaty aith Lord Lyons to put down the
slave trade? Havc We not given up ano-
tber pojnt-tbe right of search? Owing to
our wonderful activity Englsnd will find
that our people will overhaul the most ships
and by that means no doubt prove that the
Slave trade is mostly carried en- by English
ships and English capital, armed by some
of the leading disciples of Exeter Hall.
Could every mans internal care be written on
his brow,
How many would our pity share that raise our
envy now?
THE NORTH NOT APPRECIATED.
The simile is most applicable to some
Christian nations. What a howl would
have passed through England had the
Northern army been guilty of the brutal
atrocities perpetrated by the rebels at Ma
nassas and elsewhere Using the skulls of
our brave officers for spittoons, boiling Of
their flesh to get their ribs for castinets, and
sending tokens made from the bones of our
brave men to the fends in the shape ofwo.
men, who seem to have acted like SO many
tigresses during this terrible civil war.
May God lace mercy on their souls: Yes
Perish ye traitors and knaves,
Ye changers of men into slaves, '.-a1-
