: AAA4 Concerted llounfebanlE Geo, 4. Ira IN
D George Francis Train told the EneIisI
some home truths during and after III,
Trent Excitement, for which we give him
. due credit but since his return to thi.
|: country he has given daily recurring proofs
} Of his total absence Of both deeency and
common sense. He is afflicted with diar-
rAea Of words more than any person we
have ever known. Besides being shallow
pGted and rattle-brained, he is crammed
full Of the mos ridiculous self-conceit.-
The last proof Of this may be found in the
following absurd but genuine letter, late
y addressed BY him to the "society Of Co
gers" Shoe Lane, London. Read it
"REyERE House. Boston, Sept. 25, '62.
DEAR CoeERs IL am knocking the bot

Sincerely, Z G. F. TRAIN. o
Even the "COgers,p of whom the writer n n
this silly and bombastical efPusion was 4
sworn brother, could not stand this, and h
rOmptly wiped off the disgrace which ST
icy imagined attached to them, from their Ia |,
mpOrary differentiation, by adopting the Is Is
flowing resolution: "
Resolved, That we, the members Of the 81
ogers' Society having read the letter Of q
r. g. F. Train, dated Boston, September n
J, 1862 cannot refrain from expressing
II surprise and indignation at being in he
ted to become accomplices to a double OF
aud-hrstiy, to assume to speak in the VI
me Of the English people, and, secondly, no
give Mr.. Train credit for qualities con- Ge
airy to our own estimate of his character. IN
lat we further emphatically and implicit rel
disavow all participation in the views ur
Mr.. Train with respect to the institu- up
ms oft this coUntry-institution to which wa
are fervently and loyalty attached, be- olU
use they assure to our fellow citizens Of the
classes, an amount of Freedom of tho't, Vo
eech and action, combined with order en-
d security for life and property, such as riff
by no other people on the face die
the earth" Blu
By another resolution, Mr.. Train was Ge
animOusly expelled from the Society, RI; RI
! were he ever to return to England as mil
threatens, (which it is perfectly certain the
