Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-06-11

Another speech BY George Francis Train.
At a late meeting in London, whore the
tone Of the speeches and the sympathies Of
the audience were decidedly in favor of
secession, Mr.. Train was called out by
some Of his friends who were present.
Always ready, he came forward and told
the Englishmen some plain truths which,
it is hoped, did them some good. He spoke
of foreign interference in the war and
said; .t.4- ,a i.-
England and France interfere in the
American war? OfcOurse nOt--why should
they2 What right have they to interfere
Let England and France mind their own
affairs and leave America 10 settle their
own disputes. The precedents mentioned
by two speakers where England inter
vened in the South American Republics,
bear n6 analogy 10 this case. It is posi-
lively insulting to mention the three
closer powers Of Paraguay, Venezuela, or
Central America, with the more or less
United States Of America And why did
England interfere even there2 Because
they were weak and she was strong. Bel
gium and Greece were better precedents;
but those powers also were too feeble 10 re-
sist You say France intervened in the
revolution. Even 50 ; but there is wide
field between the Revolution Of the colo
nies against England and the Conspiracy
in Secessia against the country.
A VOice-Where is the differeuce?1
Simply, one people revolted on the issue
that taTdtiOn ioithout representation t0ds rob
berry, while the other conspired against
the very laws the SOUtherners made theme
selves. Possessing more than an equal
representation, they went in for more by
robbery, ignoring taxation altogether
Such men as Lafayette, and De Grasse,
and Rochambeau, are again well repre-
sented in another age, by the Count Of
Paris, the Duke of Chartres, and General
HavelOek, and a dozen great names who |
are fighting in the cause Of freedom.

Look on if you like, and commend or cen

own side the fence. We seek not your
friendship, we fear not your enmity. En-
emies never betray you-the amhush-the
betrayal comes from your friend. Eng

strong ones.
CUPIDITg THE ENGLISH RULEOF ACTION
The honorable speaker makes fearful
admission when he says that England has
put up with insults for more than Fifty
years, instancing the Maine boundary, the
Oregon question, the San Juan difficulty,
and the overhauling Of ships in the Gulf.
So much the worse for England's bravery,
if these were insults, which they were I
not, and as England is ever ready to at
tack weak powers, it follows that England
was afraid Of us. oh and derisive \
laughter You may sneer, sir, but Eng
land never acts but from motives of inter
est or fear.
An opium war in China, or a Fillibus-
tsring Expedition to Mexico, fight with
the Affghans, or an attack upon the In
dians Of the Southern Ocean, just suits
the taste Of your people Give as money, Il
give us land, give US trade or judgment is

tian nation. When you wanted money

ABsURDITY OF FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
Intervention in American affairs with
whom2 The North or South Not the
South for Yancey says it is Impossible.
Besides it would be declaring war against
the United States Not the North, for
America is not to choose an arbitrator in
the hour of victory. Wonld Hsveloek have
allowed Prussia to have intervened as he
was going into Lucknow Would France
have allowed America to intervene in IA
vor Of Austria before SOlferino Would
England have allowed Intervention in the
Crimea as she was walking through the
Redan and Malakof into Sebastopol2 Not 4
mite Of it. Let Napoleon do so wild thing /
as to dare interfere in our affairs, and you /
may purchase his crown for a shilling. /
Let England desecrate our soil by invasion |
or intervention, and even the crown jew
els of these Islands may as well be offered |
70 the highest bidder. Hear and .Ques-
ton" The gentleman says question:
the simple fact of his interruption shows
hog closely sail TO the question under de-
bate.
POWER OF OUR ARMY.
Our army is full of Washingtons, Kos
eiuslos and Lafayettes. Faraday saw the
thunderstorm in dish Of water. Watts
saw the power Of steam as the kettle sung |
its song of triumph over the frewood. So 1
the Union men felt in his bones the desti-
