Boston, spoke in the Academy of Music in
Philadelphia last night, on returning from
Washington. He made characteristic
spread eagle speech, spiccd with the usual
amount of egotism, and among other things,
said
81 have found the English people out
Ihcy are nation Of towards Slap them
IN the face; kick them; and there is no fight
III them. | have come from Washington
where | saw Mr.. Seward, and in converse
ton with him, spoke of how our vessels
the Tuscarora for instance, have been refused
the privilege Of obtaining coal in English
! ports, and | asked him why it is that British
| ships are allowed to get coal in these waters
! | would send them out as our vessels arc
| sent out.
ut is time that VIC Cmancipatc ourselves
| from our revcrcntial idea with regard to the
English nation. | tell you there is no fight
i'll them. | have told them this in their halls
| OF pubic discussion You have insultcd lis
when you thought we could not recent it, as
in the Trent affair. You threw down the
gauntlet. We gave up the men because it
suited our purpose todo so. But tho gaunt-
let is there. We mean to take it up. We
know you are towards, but you shall fight,
whether you wish to or not.
But who is it that will fight the English I,
| We Americans are educated to take a man
of our own sizc-ncvcr to strike woman
nor an old man. Therefore, we must never
| fight England; we will leave that for the
Irish to do. Applause. One of the hopes
of my life is to see an lrishman on the throne
of England.
~ will tell you that their country is trcm-
bling on the brink of revolution. The
people are thinking. All Ireland is on fire.
The beacon lights are lit. They only wait
the result Of the contest in this country, and
then all Europe is in flames. We are fight
ing for all the world We arc fighting the
great battle of humanity.
"ReSuming my statistics. that in Lanca-
SHIRE there are four hundred and fifty thou
sand operatives in the factories absolutely
starving, why is it that, after years of hard
toll, they should not many of them, have
saved enough to preserve them from this
wrctchcd condition Let me tell You the
reason. Their customary wages are eighteen
pence per diem thirty-scvcn cents, out of
which they must support their families and
pay taxes
The people are so cnslavcd by the aris-
toCracy as to he brought down to this miscr-
able condition. When there is plenty they
receive eighteen pence per day, and live;
when famine comes they get nothing. and
die. | have seen those people ready to rise
III revolt and have said to them: Wait a
little longer; there's a good time coming
your time will come one of these days The
people are just beginning to think torthcm-
selves in England.
Let me confess that have dome back
from England with a magnificent idea of
my own abilities, and am going to take
the field against Wendell Phillips, if he is
willing to risk the encounter. Applause.
Charles Sumner shall not go back to the
United Senate if my efforts can prevent it,
Cheers
Let me tell you what Mr. Seward said to
me. He said, Mr.. Train, party is not
patriotism The President said, There are
but two parties now in this country-onc
the party Of patriots and the other the party
of traitors Mr. Seward also said, The
meaneSt men are sometimes more loyal than
the greatest The slave loves his country
more than his liberty.
The Irish stands around the flag more
faithfully than those who try to disorgonizc
the army, put Mcclellan out and break up
the Administration.
Here is the whole thing in nutshell.
said Mr.. Seward You cannot stop Gods
watcr-works; the great wheels turn around,
the wheat comes down. the big millstOncs
move, and the wheat will come out good
flour in all good timc.'n
