This is a glorious contest. Ii is not SIMPLY ano
solely a fight for the black man--it Is not merely
war between the North and South, but II Is a
mighty, glorious conflict between freedom ana des-
potism throughout the world. II the North had
only the South 10 contend with, we should be soon
done with this war. But it Is the South, backed NJ
by aristocratc Pro-Savery Europe and aristocrstic
Pro-Slavery England that We bsve 10 contend with.
IL is Pro Slavery England that supports tne Rebels,
that supplies them with arms, aud ammunitlons and
ships aud with which TO carry out their
slsyeboldipg slave breeding conspiracy. need not
say TO you, MIR. President, that there are two
EnglsnGs-Anti.Slavery England and Pro-Slayery
England; Anti-Slayery England that emanelpaied
her 500 900 slaves and the England that objected or
opposed as there was any chance OF success,
that glorious act; the England that speaks TO day
In our favor in the voice Of John Bright, William
X. Foster, aud that noble man and noble orator
George Thompson, and the England that holds the
rens of power and and sbuses that power as il
