datlons Fellow citizens, when we feel the
need Of it, we will ask their advice, but we look
alone to our laws for The rule of our action, and
to the moderation Of the people to prevent the
stain of useless blood upon cur hands we
advise England to remember Napoleon, and
Emmett aud O'BtIen the massacred Indians,
who only fought to throw of "A foreign yoke,
which England feared we would impose on the
South and Louis Napoleon to remember Ney
and Abdel Kador, the massacre of the Boulo-
yarde and the deportation Of one-half the mem
bers of he Assembly Of France, as the measure
OF his mercy. We are to-day nation in spite
OF their advice, their enmity and their efforts ;
silence would better become them. cave US the
trouble OF hnglng their crimes in their teeth to
expose the motives Of their unasked advice
(Great applauso.)
