iug In New York ihs other day. We give an
extract Of bis speech.
He administered proper and merited re-
buks TO that Ensllsh 0ocknsy Rosbuek. whose
speech ct Lord Palmerstou's banquet was 20
disgraceful to himself and 20 outrageous to oil
the 0ner feelings Of gentlemen. Gen. Mitchell
Gays:
Last evening had almost decided not to ap.
pear before you TO day, but this morning
picked up = newspaper, and in that paper
read speech made at banquet given to Lord
Pslmerst0n by Mr.. ROebuck, (gr0aus for Roe
buck,) aud now want to tell you what Ros.
buck said at that meeting.
He said be bad no sympathy with the North
and its struggle, tecsuse our cause wss an un.
righteous and immoral one, and could not sue
ceed. tell you our cause 10 the greatest one
In which the sword has been drawn. This war
o0s,s US thousands OF lives and thousan 10 of
millions OF expenditure; II has cost US blood
without limit aud money without stint. What
do We get for 1t all! Why. we are fighting for
u grand prinoiple-the liberty Of the world,
the Integrity Of this nation; and Il this integri.
ty be destroyed, liberty 10 lost forever 10 hu
lnsnity. But Mr.. Roebuck says 60 on divide
the United States. That shows the cloven foot.
Why! They have been too iasolsnt, too strong,
too independent; they took "Juhn Bull" BY
the throat aud held him, aud said to him, Do
US justice" (At this time the Sxty-ninth
regiment, headed by Col. Corcoran, passed into
the Park, interrupting the speaksr)
Nothing could have been more gratifying TO

sufsrtngs since; you know what be has suf-
fered for bis country how be has resisted
every effort to induce him to leave ioath

how to stop and welcome noble hero suffer

regiment. Give him brigade Of forty rsgi
menin. (Cheers.) wish To tell You what Roe.
buck Was aiming at. He was trying to sxeIte
the envy aud sntipathy Of the world towards
us he was attempting 70 turn the interest Of
the people Of Eagland against US. In the dlvis.
ION OF this country Englaud will be prontsd.
But lot me tell Roebuck that when be begins
the game of splitting and dividing, It is q gams

We will preserve II at all bszsrds and risks and
