A thought occurs to me as ron cheer: We
lare living in an whirling age; it is no longer
the Divine right of Kings in your case, but
the Divine right of Queens and on our side
is divine right which We shall ever maintain,
of Union Now and Union Forever. The
strange fancy that entered my brain is this
Should it ever SO happen in the breaking
out of Menistrics, and the breaking down of
Governments that you should become tired
of the noble lady that has done already
more for England than England can do for
her-should it ever so happen in the strange
vicissitudes that are taking place during this
age of events, that your Queen should be
dstastcful to you-which God forbid. and
which believe impossible, then let me say
to YOU, in the name of the American people
Il hereby promise that she shall be elected
President Of the United States.
And am confident that the same spirit
that sprung up in every living breast in that
Great United North, to embrace and welcome
her proud and lovely tirst-born child, will
stimulate our people to throw aside party on
that august occasion, and place Victoria in
the White House by acclamation. The
gentleman made happy hit, by calling this
audience a republic of free men, where free
the ught and free debate, and free opinion
ruled supreme. | accept the Republican
similc and should hope that among its
citizens there are none who would commit
80 base an act, under the garb OF loyalty to
the Queen, as to breed Treason against the
Government, and ,eck with bloodshcd its
overthrow, rs some other bad citizens have
done in that Great Republic over the
way.
The more we try to please you the less
we appear to succeed. But what can we cX

DR.. Tussell gave YOU the text to ridiCule

as a Welsh wahLit)
You took it up, and told us that to make
soldiers out of farmers, and tradcsmcn, and
mechanics. and fishermen, there must be
hard drilling. We accepted your counsel
Europe poured in upon us hundreds of her
best artillery, cavalry and infantry officers,
who, bursting with the love of liberty, were
anxious to give Union battle-ook at McClcl-
lan's statI-composed of brave Generals,
bold princes and future kings-who already
have cried A Bourbon! A lIavelock ! and
let slip hupared regiments, to sweep the
madman from his throne. At this time
there is not even one Richmond in the field.
Drill you said-we have drilled. Why do
you wait so long then, you ask. We are
drilling We replied. And COW point you to
the million of drilled men that cover battle
line of two thousand miles. Your mob,

traitors, and furthermore received the Bri.

wage war against us--with almost royal
welcome,
You said, you have no money and w
will not lend youa shilling. Gentlemen, We
never asked you for shilling, And rs
observed on previous occasion, the only
real cause we have yet given you for break
ing the blockade was the taking up the cntir,
Federal loan in our own land, without ever
consulting Nr. Sampson, of the Times
Baron Rothschild, ofthe London Stock Ex
change. You said it was impossible Il
blockade our ports. Gentlemen. there neve
was a blockade so etlcctual. because thcr,
never was war SO extensive, or people so dc
termined, or administration so strong -
there is no cathartic sufficiently powerful Y
