Broughams. no Wilberforces and no Buxtons
in the audiences that addressed, and the rea-
son was that there are not any such men in
England. applause and laughter.) The stock
has died out. Laughter)
But there is other good stock vet left
There is something they call Lord Brougham
left. 1t is not glorious old Harry Brougham-
it is Lord Brougham. Laughter There is
the name of Wiiberforce, for the sake of the
father still yet courteously honored in the son.
There is Buxton-the name-(laughter)-
and it Is perfectly true that if England Ia to
be judged by her dignitaries or her nobility
by her merely eminent names, England is not
with us. But if England is to be judged by
her middle class-if You please to say it, by
her influential class, she is with us. Great
applause AT any rate l am not deceived, for
never supposed that any other part of Eng
land was with US, and have not come home
deceived, as the writer in the Times supposes.

Mr.. Beecher here names some thirty news

ship by literary services in the cause of the
North. He closes with
THE FUTURE.
1t has pleased Lord Brougham-who is not,
think, any longer responsible for what he
says-tO cay that the American people are q
mob. Let it be ours to show that an American
mob is more decent than O British aristOcracy
Tremendous applause. We are proud of our
common schools; we are proud OF our citizens
they make Let it not be pride and mere vanity
on our part, but in all the attributes Ofidelty to
our conviction at home, patience with our en-
emies abroad, let us show to the world one
more thing; that while, with free institutions,
selfgoverning people can acquire wealth
from the bosom of the earth, as no other ever
more cheaply and more fairly than any other
while they have power to put down for
eign enemies and subdue the most terrific
intestine foes that have ever yet afflicted
and tormented peOple-while we are exhibit
ing that, let US also show to the world that un-
der crowns nor cOrOnets, nor under any edu-
Gated influence, is there another class of people
on the globe that are SO temperate, so self-re-
straining, 80 just and SO generous in their sem
timents toward foreign people as the great
mass of the common citizens of America, ZAP
plause.) The day is coming when nations are
to feel each others hearts more nearly-when
more and more themes for national discussion
are to be those that turn upon the moral SEN
timents-those that are allied to common ideas
and common feelings for we need no other.
We do not need Great Britain for any material
reasons. For moral reasons we need her.
And say more than that-for moral reasons
she needs us. For the sake of man, and for
the cause of God, for che hope of civilization,
these two nations of the earth, carrying q civil
ization which is derived from and which
carries with it the common people, and they
are uplifted in civilization-these two great
Protestant Christian nations all forbid that we
should ever cross hand in strife and struggle.
with slow steps, to look to the rising sun,
while even in Russia her frosts begin to glitter
in that light that ere long shall melt them, let
not these foremost of nations that have stood
in witness for liberty. and all other blessings of
free government, fall out by the way; but
shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, bearing
and forbearing with each other, loving or hop
ing to love by and by, let them stand together
to bear out to every part of the earth the in
fueuce of Christian civilization and human
liberty. (Great and long continued applause
