THE ISLANDERS OF NORTHERN TRAITORS
TO your fatterng illusions. Sir, to my acts
in the Department Of the Gulf, L will answer
single word. When left that Department, |
sat down deliberately and put in the form OF
an address TO the people Of that Department
an exact account Of the acts had done
while there; and / said to them: You know |
have done these things; no man can deny
it. l have waited mole than three months
and l have not heard any denial from that
Department that these thirgs were done. To
that fact point as the justification OF your
too flatterirg eulogy, as an answer forever 10
every slander and every cslumny.. The ladies'
of New Orleans know whether they were iaie.
Has any one Of them ever said sho was not'
The men OF New Orleans knew whether their
life and property were safe. Has any man
ever said il was not The poor of New Or
leans know whether the money that was taken
from the rich Rebels was fed out to them.
Has any ono Of them denied il? (APplause.l
To that record point as tho only answer
shall ever make to the calumnies that have
been poured upon me, and upon tho oihceis
everywhere In that Department that aided 60
successfully In carrying out every effort Tor
the good Of the country. (Applause.)
AN ,ccouSr TO RE REMEMBERED AND SETTLED
HEREAFTER. s
But there is one thing say frankly, that
do not like the appearance Of l refer to the
war made uprn our commerce. 1t is not the
fault of the Navy, or Of any department OF
the Government; but it is the fault OF our
allies Pardon me moment for am speak
ING now to tho merchants OF Now York, as
this ia a matter on which have given some
reflection. Pardon me while we examine to
see what England has done. She agreed TO
be neutral. tried TO demonstrate TO you
that she ought to have been little more
But has shc boen! (Cries ol"-No! no!)..
Let US see the evidence Of that "No!' ln
the first place, there has been nothing in the
Union cause but what her orators and states
men have maligned There has been nothing
wa bayo done that has Lot been perverted by
her press. There has been nothing ofsympa'
thy or encouragement which she has not at
forded our enemies. There has been nothing
which she could do under cover OF neutral
itv which she has not done to help the Rebel,
(.That il truer) Nassau has bosn naval
arsenal for private Rebel boats to reft in
Kingston has been a coal depot, and Barba
does has been dancing haN TO fete pirate

my friends, what cause my countrymen, nae
she so to deal with usi What is the reason
she has so dealt with us! Il it because We
have never shown sympathy towards her O,
love to her people; and marx me here;
draw distinct line between the English peo
pIe, tbs masses, aud the English Government
L think the heart of her people beats re-
sponsive to ours (Grsat applause.) But
know her Government and her aiistocfacy
hate us with hate that passeth all under
standing. (toud chcs,s) | say let US so'
! il We have given any cause for this! Yo'
remember when the famine overlook tn
, Irishman of 1s47, and the Macedonian frigat
carried bread to feed the poor when Englant
. was starving. And when her favored heir ap
> pearcd here, in this very house, We assembled
|, and gave him such welcome as Northern
, gentlemen give to their friends. and his pre-
. sent admirers at Ricmoud gave him such
{ welcome as Southern gep,icmeh give to thel
Q friends. loud laughter and npplause.) An
$ the George Griswold has gonc from the cit
n of New York, to feed the starving poor
4 Lancashire, and it was only by Gods blessin
a that she was not overhauled and burned b
i the pirate Alabama, fitted out in an Englis
Q port. (Applauso.) Yet, today we hear th'
!. a steamer Is being built at Glasgow for th
d Emperor of China, daughter and applause
o and at Liverpool, another ono for the Emp'
J. ror of China. But don't believe the EII
q peror cf China will buy many ships iro'
u Great Britain, until they bring back the sill
b they stole from bis palace at Pekin.
20 Now learn from the late correspondent
t of Earl Russell, that the British have put tw
o articles of the treaty Of Paris in compact wit
Q the Rcbels-frst, iha; enemies goods shall |
covered by neutral flags, and there shall
free trade at the ports, and open trade vii
N ueutrals. Why didn't Great Britain put u
= other part Of the treaty in compact; namel
that there should be no more privateerlng!
