Meetings, lectures, ETC., in favor Of Prcsi-
dent Linco1n's emancipation policy, are OF
daily occurrence in all parts Of England, and
an imposing demonstration was to take place
at the Ampitheatre at Liverpool, the day the
Hibernian sailed. The resolutions and ad-
dresses to President Lincoln, which are to be
proposed, enphatically approve Of his anti
slavery policy. A crowded meeting on the
subject was held at st. James Hnll, London,
on the 18th. The speakers indu1ged in bitter
inyectiSes against the Lord Mayor and Mr..
Mason for the late affair at the Mansion House
banquet, and i resolution condemning the
Lord Mayor was unanimously carried.
These demonstrations hare greatly excited
the ire Of the London Tines, and 1t improves
the opportunity to howl after this fashion:
From the London Times]
It is matter of very serious import that
the grand old cause Of the anti-slaye-trnde and
antf-slarery movement should be thought to
have degeneratcd into mere cat's-paw to Mr..
Seward, and that one Of the most glorious
bands Of disinterested philanthropisis which
be thought to hare sunk into few dupes Of
President Lincoln, advocating measure which
is not freedom to the blacks, but Is, as far as
possible, massacre to the women and children
of the whites. We ask, therefore, publicly,
whether there is the least truth in the sugges-
ton that these people have ever received the
authority Of Lord Brougham, or the Bishop
Of Oxford, or Sir F. Buxton, or any
other nan Of ancient connection with
| this question, to associate the name Of
Brougl!am, Wilberforce, or Buxton with their
present doings. If they hare, let us have the
| the public to let 1t be known that these
Northern political demonstrations are but
| cuckoo eggs, fraudulently laid in the old

In case like this, the snppressio teri is scarce

Perhaps the very small dogs who hare takel

such vain efforts to initiate the roar Of the oil
