that the expectation of gold be also prohibited,
and then there would be nothing to meet our bills

versed, When thu French Minister, Citizen
Genet, undertook to make an address to the
people of the United States, complaint was
made to his Government, and he was recalled;
and law was passed preventing for all time to
come any interference Of Foreign Ministers in
the politics of the United States. I want to be
understood; have no evidence that Lord Ly-
ous interfered at ALL but the correspondence says
that certain leading politicians of New York
cvne to him and desired that be should do
what! That be would advise with his Govern
ment not to interfere! Why nots Because it
would aid the country-they would spurn it, and
would be stronger than ever to crush the rebel
lion, and I'VE and our party shall be crushed
QUIT" Great laughter and cheers. 78

the people felt against England. They knew
the heart Of this people to be true to the Con.
stitution. They knew the people would not
brook any interference from England, and they
ask the British Minister to use the power of
British diplomacy to get other nations to in
terfere, and Great Britain to keep out of sight
