aad exciting them against tbs lives and prop
srty Of thair masters, wss confession to the
world that the subjugstion Of the South was
acGndogee as hopslees. Hear, hsar) Sir, ths
Americas President has solsmnl7 invoked tbs
iudgHsas of EBrope upon that proel8matisns
and We in this house are beund aot 70 evade
giving q regposse 20 thAt invocation. Sir, what
judgment can We in this Christian assembly
prGuounce GEOn It except to den0uncs it as one
OF the mest atrocioas crimss against the laws Of
eiVilzasisn and humanity which the World has
ever sesa3 ("Oh l' and cheeTs.) Sir, to me it
is Elatier of establishment how aRy Eagish-

or philanthropy, but a stern military necessity.
W aat does such necessity mean D5es it

Is a great srirae. L''Hsar, hear" from an hsn-

I say tits the very highest iniqaity ia the

Now, SIR is there anything in the dispatches of
ogr farsigB Secretary which I have thought
more ersdita5le 70 aim than the BromDtness with
which be laid bare the strocity Of that Droela-
matio1, stigmaEsing it 60 the American Gov
erumsnt ss an act, not Of humanity to the slave,
but Of veagsuce against his MASTER. believe
it WAS thst proclamation which destroyed the
very last chance Of English sympsthy with the
North. Yes; there Is 10 doubt tkst Eaglish-
men hats slavery, but there ia enc other thiag
which they also hGia What they abomiuats
besides slavery, sad almost more than anything
else, is cant Hear, hssr And on this Occa-

cious, far too souud-hearted, to view with any
thing but feelings Of disgust the transparent de-
vice Of those who sought TO perpetrate a war Of
ex e-miaatisn under the cant of philanthropy.
Tho Government Of the North, having played
their last desperate card, and that having been
followed by fsilare and disgrace, profess row
still to cherish the delussn that the Union is 10
be recovered By war. Bat let me ask this
simple 9ussteR. When you have half a Bil-
lion Of zsn in arms, On the ons side, TO safoycs

man sworn 90 resist il, what becomes Of the

metzmorshossd int military tyranny; the
President is more irresponsible sesp0t than

their financial stsssi In three years they have
