after day, and the Telegraph, the Herald, the
Chronicle, and nearly all the entire British press
encouraging the rebels on in their unchristiau
work. England has made a mistake-a fatal
mistake. To make sure that | am not in the

press, and extracts from speeches Of members oI
Parliament and the Ministry, which will prove the
hostility of England to the Federal power.
Mr.. Bell asks how we could have done other

and hiss the other, and call II neutrality. tHear,
hear, and applause.l However, it has taught
America one lesson, not to put her trust in princes,
[laughterl but to rely on her own strong arm. 1t

when the American people, in the absence Of for
eign war, get up grand review, and kill ten
thousand trait Irs on the Champs du Mars Of the
Potomac, all the world tire reLblingly stops to gaze
and oil the worlds commerce becomes deranged.
tHear, hear. Europe may fish, but America
cares not. America plays with firearms to keep
her hand in, and Europe is pale with fear; for it
has come to pass that the commerce Of the United
States with Europe sums IN each year one hun
