M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1863-11-19

thu last sixty years, and what ha
been done in the way oil emigration
Esld then turned to the consideration
elthe topics of general interest only.
y The above is q most remarkable
speech to. CONS from Lord Brougham
a1d in the presence of Wilberforce
would cauEe any one to suppose
that the mad men at Washington
would pause long enough to reflect OF
their course and conduct, when meet
ling such denunciatory language from
lsuch quarter. If the auti-slsvery
u1en of England are forced for reputa
Itf6n's sake to denounce their negro
faslies at Washington, with such Ian
lguage as the above, to prevent the
contamination that would attach tC
their names if history shonld write
them down together, what should be
the feelings Of all those in our OWL
country who have ever denounced
the intermeddling Of British Aboli
tionists with our country's politica
destiny 2 We, as Democrats, have
ever denounced this crusade against
the States of the Union where slavery
existed, as leading inevitably to the
horrid results now passing before our
eyes,and which cause the whole world,
civilized and savage, to stand aghast
at the hoirid conflict.
! Our readers well know that we
have from the first appealed to our
authorities at Washington to see to ii,
if war must exist, IA thing we never
believed absolutely necessary that
the conflict among ourselves be con.
trolleo in such a way as not to dis
grace the intelligence and humanity
Of the age and thus bring down upon
us the rebuke of all ch:istendOm.
But to such men, as Lord Brougham
characterizes our Abolitionists to be,
appeals were Of course thrown away
The excuse of the Republicans for
converting this into an Abolition
war--a war Of horrors to both the
black and white races, was to concili'
ate the anti-slavery feeling Of Europe
and thus prevent hostilities from that
quarter. ,..sr.
How we'll we have succeeded in
gaining the affections Of the European
people and the European powers by
the insane war we are now prosecut.
ing for the negro, can be but too well
seen in this remarkable speech of an
Engishman, and in the course of the
Emperor of the French in seizing upon
Mexico and planting a monarch there
in our very faces Our Northern
Government, according to Lord Brou
CHAN, an anti slavery disciple, has
got below "hate," and is only "deS.
pissed" The reasons for this he gives
in very plain language They are
worthy Of study! l-.t
1t is with the deepest humiliation
that we dwell upon so unpleasant n
subject, and the only consolation left
ua is the reflection that SO far as we
are concerned, we have from first to
last denounced acts which condemn
our national authorities, and those
who approve of them, to such cruel
donunciations, such bitter roproaches
for a want of truthfulness and want
of humanity, when subjected to the
test of ordinary civilized warfare.
"a The attempt to administer our
Government on platform of lies,
sclf-conceit, and such morality as
such a platform alone must produce,
will OF course end in discontinue, let
the victories of our armies be what
they may. One triumph but precipi'
tates us iuto another difficulty moro
stubborn OF solution than the first.
This every one is beginning to see,
but how few can solve the problem of
escape from those we already have
fallen into Crisis.
