John RrIght a. RIrmInshnm.

The following from the speech Of John
Bright, on American afFsirs will be read
with interest:
81 came here tonight intending to say
no single word as to the question between
the North snd South in the United States.
Ny opinion is that the unanimous iudg.
ment Of the people Of England, so far as
that is ever shown on any public occasion,
is in favor Of the course which her Msjes-
ty's Government have publicly declared to
be their intention to pursue. 1 believe
that, looing to the past usage of this
country Wiih regard to the rebellion Of the
Greeks against the Turks, and with regard
to the revolt Of the Colonies Of South
America against Spain, that it can be
demonstrated that these cases afford no
support whatever to the argument that
we are permitted to recognize the South,
and that il such recognition did take place
now it could only exaspeFste still more
the terrible strife which exists on the
North Ameriosn continent and would
spread that strife over Europe ITSELF
| 1Cheers.l Now, sm myself Of the opin-
| ion, and nave been from the first, that the
people Of America, 60 numerous, go power
full, 80 instructed, so capable in every way,
would settle the difficulties of that cont.
uent without asking the old countries Of
Europe 10 take any share in them. be-
lieve that in the providence of the Su
preme, the slaVehOlier, unlaught and un
| tescAable by fact or argument or Christ
ian precept, has been permitted to com

suicide upon himself. rCheers
Sir, will not say of this question thst
1 look forward to the time when 1 shall
stand on this platform with my honorable
colleague, and when he will join with M
for he is honest enough and frsnl
enough to do tbat-When he will joiI
with me in rejoicing that not slsv

Tloud cheers, that the Union has been com

heIdaho Gold Fever.

People who are in danger of getting
Idaho on the brain would do veil to ponder
the following from the St. Louis Democrat
Idaho is the fascinating charm now
tempting thousands from valuable pur-
suits to distant and proftless adventure.
The ultimate results will comprise the
rapid growth and development of that ter
ritory to be won, however, by the sacrifices
Of generation Of pioneers. For centuries,
the saera auri fames has been among the
most potent Of agencies for the discovery
and settlement of new lands and evident
ly its work is not yet done. Even the re-
cent experiences Of California and Colo
rado cannot deter hundreds from becom-
ing the victims, emphsticslly the UietinIs Of
new "gold fever Migration to wild
districts and the reducing Of them to cul-
turo are blessing to the race, and when
wisely undertaken are most creditable to
the emigrant aud pioneer. But the multi
tuies who flock to far-off realms fer gold
are only made the unwilling and suffering
instruments in work much better prose-
cuted with less Of sacrifice and distress.
The most of them leave positions Of decid-
ed usefulness and happiness to become the
drudges and stepping stones Of others. In
gold producing countries labor soon be-
comes meanly cheap, relentle5sly ruled
and crushed by ospital.
Experience has perfectly demonstrated
that the chances of amsssing wealth at
gold hunting do not surpass those Of me-
chanies and lsborers remaining at home
and that the masses of the adVentUrers
reap chiefly Disappointment having in
frequent instances sacrificed fair pros
poets, and in many competency, at their
business in the States.
AS to Idaho, the gold regions are much
less extensive than were those opened to
the California emigrsn6 and, except at
and near the few settlements, the country
is in possession of hostile Indians, who
are especially iRimipal to whites prospect
ing for gold. The hostility is cherished
also against agricultural settlers, who are
thus limited, on pain Of ineurring immi-
nsnt risk, to the districts already ocou-
pied.
Gold mining is the severest Of manual
labor; unhealthy, uncertain in its results,
and accompanied by the burden of paying
fabulous prices for the merest nece5ssries
Of life.
The miners need few merchants or me.
