A.. p TavIor wished to state the reasons why
10 thought the House ought not to agree TO me
motion Of the honorable member tor ouhdeLl ,.
Hear hear.l The honorable gentleman had KEPT
his motion dangling before the House lof some
time and what had induced him FINELY t. BRING 81

tured to think that the honorable gentleman Eaa
selected very nauspicious tine tor bringing iof-
ward his long deferred motion The honorable
gentleman should reccoilect the maxim, that prov
idence fights on the side of The strongest oattal
ions and that the 20006, eco Of the Nor'h are 10
likely to be put down by the 100000 or
of the South incumbered as the latter were W..

ellis was suddenly transferred to the North when
the late disuniOn took place between the States.
Attacks of the lnostIinconsistent and contradcto-
~ character were kept up against the North with
the utmost perseverance and luminosity. They
were denounced ss tyrannous and dctat0rla-
We were told they could not carry on war because
the money was raised, we were told that they were
extrayagant and spendthrift The N~rth had been
pronounced as hypocriticalin protesting to n2nt
for the freedom Of the slaves Opposition cheer5.J
But as soon as the United States OF America had
freed from the stain of slavery the central Dis-
trict of Columbia, they were accused tHeh Oh i"t
dealing fairly with the South. lronicai cheers
Judging from the speech OF me mono doIe ilioti
Der for Sunderland, and the progressive Stei,S he
lind taken on this question, it was evident that,
when he spoke of meditation, he meant the rec,
IGNITION ofthe independence of the South, ana IN
terVeDtion on the part OF this country win mat
object mo, mol Intervention meant nothing
bur war with the United States. Hear, hear, and
cries Of No, no.'I Now, he Mr.. Iaylorj con
fessed that he never heard sucn Iremehouou5 Il
sues raised with apparently little consciousness
of the importance of the motion which he had
made as had been displayed by the honorable gen~
tieman that night lie Mr. Taylor lad never yet
rhead Of q war in which there was not Dl00dsht"i
and suffering felt, but was that reason why tins
country should rush to the struggle now gong on
in America Why, our war with Russ IN the
Crimea-that with the Chinese-our intervention
in Mexico and the many other difficulties we had
created by our interference in the affairs OF other
states, were but chips in the pOrridge as COM
pared with tho tremendous results which war
between this country and the United States would
occasion. Hear hear.l Modem history could
show uothiug that would be at all comparable to
it. 1t wou. be Just fratrIedal as the
war now going between the NOrthen and
Southern States. Itwoud be Il which would
strike terror into the hearts OF all the friends Of
progress and liberty, but would be reloced in by
those who were the lOes of freedom. II ear hear.
He denied that the working classes held those
opinions which the honorable gentlemen seemed
to think they entertained on this question A.
an instance of fire contrary he would remind the
House that Il meeting held at Blackburn the 9TH
er day when proposition similar in spirit to the
one submitted by the honorable member for Sun
derland wes moved, a resolution Of precisely OPP
posite character was put to the meeting and al

the attitude assumed at the present moment by
the suffering people Of Lancashire was one of the
finest that the history of our country presented 10
to ur admiration. Cheers That people Were eX.
posed to privatiOn5 from causes beyond their own
action and control; nevertheless they exhibited
an attitude of manly patience and resignation
which was most praiseWorthy They regarded
with the utmost patience their little savings d ally
decreasing and with no hope in the future but
the justice and benevolence of their more world
~ favored countrynen to stand between them and
actual want, Hear, hear.l The attitude OF that
people was truly magnificent, when, amid ali their
guerings they refused to assent to an Intervention
in America, from feeling that such an interieI-
ence would bring stain upon the auti-slaYcry
flag of England. Hear heur.1 The present strife
in America was no casual one which had sudden
ly broke out. 1t had been long expected 1t was
the Nemesis of that system OF slavery which con
demned as chattel property four millions or hnman
beings because they were guilty of a skin not
colored like our own" The war between the North
ana the COQLn was LDGH lueVlIhDlG. Al was SdltI
that North America cared nothing for the
slaves. Opposition chsers.l He regretted to say
that nothing could be more true Tie rs

The Northern States had not virtue enough TO
care for slavery of the blacks, and only rose to
sense of its own nfamy when they found that their
freedom and independence were closely bound up
with their own immediate interest They had
placed upon their statute book one OF the most in
famous laws that ever degraded a civilized state
namely the fugitive slave law. Hear, hear II
The North had given up all that it was possible
for them to give up to cOnciate the saveh0ldihg
States OF the South, but they would not allow the
curse Of slavery to be extended over the new States
Of America. Hear hear. But supposipg that
the South, either by their own prowcss or our az.
sistance, became Independent, it would be mere
ly an armed truce--a postponement Of the war
When either party tet strong enough, tbeA wond
renew the contest. Two things were required by
the system of slavery of any community by which
it was cherished-a fugitive slave law ana COLI
tinual extension ofterritory. These the Northern
States would not allow, nnk the consequence was
that every yard ofdebatable ground would be the
nucleus Of future war. We had neither the right
nor interest to interfere, and if we had ii WOIld
not be in the interest of humanity to do So unless
we could help the North and the South to solve
the uuestsou of slavery. To interfere would be
but giving facti0us encouragement to the South
and stimulating the North to increased bitterness
and anita goaism against this country. 1t was
enough to irrltatG the North against us that the
nation which had spent twenty millions to emGn
cipate her own slaves should he discussing III Par
lament the propriety OF encouraging the estab
Iishment of a State based upon a system ofhunHn
servitude The opinion of lIr. John Stuart Mil
"a mime entitled to great weight in that II GU 80
was that if we drove the free states of the North
to submit to peace founded on the separation OF
the Union we should have to fight the Slave States
themselves at a great disadvantage, no Longer
with the North as an ally. He hoped that the
Hyuse would give n decided negative to the prop,
osition Of the honyrable member for Sunderland
end that such question would not be again sab,
mtted to it, involving discussion which not
creditable to England, and could not fail to be
garded as an insult to America Cheers
