Well gentlemen, after having said this much, / come
to that which particularly touches the state Ct this
district and community. We stand here al time
when but for one unfortunate event it is probable that
yon and your work people would alike ba Ui )yng
great prospect (Hear, hear) That one unfortunate
event you have described in this address-and in my
opinion truly described-as a dtpoTabe struggle, 10
which the two sections OF the great American Republic
engaged. 1t is, gentlemen, dep0reb- stfug-
gle. Hear bear.) We are not OF those, if sNCh there
were, who envy the greatness Of the nericdn Pepub
lie. (iledr, hear We c0ud have ! zen well cO0teut

ally increasing in her wealth and strength (Fiear
hear Wesh0uld have retained the consciousness that

Of the most Itnd'y AID peaceful relations hear
hear aud the admiral on with which we regard the
energy of that nation (hear haar) would have been
totally untinged either by envy or by fear. ("Iear,
hear, and cheers But this struggle has come about
through fault Of ours and | cannot but feel that the
position and attitude Of this country with respect TO
the United States have not been on the ether side of
tie water quite impartally and fairly judged (Hear
hea")
Now, gentl men. am not going to make this mat
ter OF complaint. Let Us sympahiz3 with our Ameri-
brethren in their difficulties hear, hear let
allow that under the excitement Of those Icultie8 ard
Of desperate and agODlzng conflict, the minds Of
in that state OF tranquility which renders them
the best judges OF the conduct of their ueghb0rs under
such circumstances. Hear hear) The proportions OF
objects alter before the eye ard expectations formed
and thought to be just. which, in dispassonate
moment will be and fit to have been unOunded.
(Hear, hear) Why, gentlemen, there was demand
made upon ug by the public voice in America at the
outset of this deporabe struggle for what called
sympathy. Wei, now, what the real meaning OF
that Gemand-at least if | can understand il-and |
hope that in what | say shall not say word ncon-
sstent with that raerna feeling which desire to cher
sh towards all men, and especially towards our kindred
beyond the water But practically what the meau-
ing OF that desire and that call for sympathy? Why,
It this: That we should take such course by our
language and by our public acts, as would place the
100000 of men, or the l0O00G00-I care not which
you call hem-ef the South, in permanent hostli With
US. (Iear, hear.)
We'll, n0W we may have our own opinions and i'm
agne we have our own opinions about the irst utons
Of the South /" hear, hear, ard applause-as unfor-
tunaiey may have our own private opinions about
the counenance that has been given to those Institutions
in the North-(' hear, hear" and applause but that
is reason, gentlemen the side the other why
should adopt of conduct that s to lay the
foundations OF alienation Of feeling and permanent hos
tty between ourselves and those who may hereafter be
great nation claiming to enter into peac Iu relations
with US. {" Hear, hear" and cheers Why no doubt
if we could say this a contest OF slavery freedom
there Is not in the length AID breadth of this
room-there perhaps is hardly a man in ali England
who would fer momeot hesitate upon the side which
be would take bear, hear but have no faith in
the propagation Of institutions tie point of the
sword. f. Hear, hear, and cheers) 1t is not by such
that the ends OF freedom be gained Hear
hear Freedom must be freely accepted, freely en-
braced. Hear, hear) You cannot invade nation in
order to convert its institutions from bad ones into good
oDeS and our friends in the North, have think,
made great mistake in supposing that they bend
all the LOrr0IS of this to phanthropic ends Hear
hear)
Now, gentlemen, there are those among US who think
-and cO1ess, for one have shared the apprehension
that if in the of the vcissitudes of the the
Southern States of America shoad serd an embassy to
Washington, aud should say ' Very well we are
ready to lay down arms On one condition we are
ready to renew the compact We ready to make it
perpetual and attach to it every security and guarantee
you can imagine for your holding US FAST but upon
conditon-that you shall assure US that there shall be
interference with domestic institutions All.
