THE FREEDMEN.

Sir Morton next gave an instance of
slaves receiving their freedom, and he said
he would mention the name because it
would show that the facts could be inquir-
ed into. Col. Drury, one of the most
promising men of the southern army, on
the day that Lee surrendered called to-
gether his slaves, about one thousand in
number, and addressed them to the effect
that be had done the best for them hither-
to, and henceforth. hey were free men.
If they would continue to work for him he
would give them as high wages as anybody
else, and would put their children toschool
They were only three who left. GCheers.
He (Sir Morton) came home in the Scotia
with one of those estimable men, like their
friend George Thompson. prolonged
cheering. He was a member of the So
ciety of Friends, and told him that he was
coming home from the South, where he
had been on a mission of mercy and
he (Sir Morton) told him that he had
taken from the Society of Friends fifteen
thousand pounds sterling and had dessi-
mated it in. the most judicious manner
among the freedmen of the South, and
they would feel ready to wish that some
others would &c and do likewise"
TCheers.1 He thought it would be q
graceful and right and proper thing that
the whole church, without any restriction
and of every denomination, should join
together and do something in that work.
They recollected perfectly well what the
North did in regard to our starving oper-
atives during the cotton famine. ECheers.
The North wanted no help from England,
but it would be a graceful thing, a right
thing for them to do in that work of mercy
to which he had referred.

looked on anything in sculpture so simple
and so great. For me, as 1 recall its saw

l am so proud an Ohio man did it hat 1
scarcely dare trust my enthusiasm to
words. Figure TO yourself an Indian,
naked but for the skin of a wild beast that
encircles his loins, half clinging to the.
1.-THE, strong body, half falling from it.
He moves furtively forward, with a tread
so lightly that a twig would not snap un-
der it nor a dry leaf rustic; one elastic
foot leaves the earth far behind the body,
the other s~ustains the trunk, that from the
launches stretch eagerly forward. In his
left hand, advanced, with the instinct of
pursuit, is the bow, with two or three ar
rows while the right hand knots itself
firmly and unconsciously in the thong
about the neck of the savage dog at his
side. This is the group-so simple, and
so loyal to all the facts of Indian life, and
to the great truth of art, which is above

image of it which the first glance gave
you.
The man assumes to be nothing more
than the dog, though he controls him; the
dog confesses no nferiority, though he
submits. Indeed, he is all mute assertion
to the effect that he is as wise as the In
dian, but that the Indian has a momen-
tary advantage in seeing the game, and it
is better for both that he command at
present. Beyond this the dog is not a dog
to do homage to any Indian of his ac-
quaintance. The group not only expresses
the character of an individual Indian, but
also the sentiment of sylvan life, about
whichrwe have had SO much sentimental
ity. As you look at it the woods grow up
around you, and the wind roars through
the heads of the pines, between the poles
of which crouch the wigwams the prairie
expands aud stretches away; the water
birds fly up from the sedgy creeks; the
wild thing that the wild man follows leaps
into the tangle of the swamp.
The sculptor's boyhood on an Ohio farm
gave him that love of primitive nature
which men of cities Yainly affect and he
Indian life in the further West,
while perfecting his ideal for this group.
Consequently, his Indian is not a fine gen
tleman savage; not a Greek Sioux with a
Roman nose, but a sylvan creature, un-
by the vices of civilization; as
Boone or Kenton might have seen him.
War, and its image, the chase, are his pas
sions, and from their impulse comes his
sole intellectual beauty, which, indeed, is
scarcely higher, as l limited, than that of
the dog at his side.

SIR MOTION PETO AT HOME.
Speech Of Sir Morton PetO at Bristol,
November ISGh-A Glowing Pane
gyrtc on America.

H-H
Sir Morton Peto delivered a long speech
at Bristol on the 18th OF November, de-
voted mainly to a review of his tour in
America From the full report of the
speech in the Times, we make the following
extracts :
1900 RAPID GROWTH.
Sir Morton passed on to speak of the
treatment he received in the United States,
and the unbounded hospitality that fell to
him there. He received kindness withuot
precedent. and had the amplest oppor-
tunity given him of knowing everything
he desired to know; and it Was his own
fault if the desire for knowledge was not
more than grati6ed. He went there at a
most interesting epoch of the history of
America-at the close of the most ire
mendousi struggle known in modern times.
He did expect to lind exhaustion, and So
ciety somewhat d~isarranged; but he saw
nothing of the kind. [Cheers. There
was nothing throughout the whole of the
great country that would have led him to
suppose such a struggle had existed. Sir
Morton enteredinto statistics which showed
the rapid growth and development of some
parts of the United States, and he instanced
thecity Of Chicago, a few years ago a mere
dot on the boundless prairie, but Which
had advanced from q small village to-a
vast city, with a population exceeding a
quarter of a million, and with public
buildings finer than any city he knew of.
Sir Morton referred to the public works of
the place, and especially a Continuance for
carrying off a nuisance that existed. And
in addition to hepublic works heinstanced
q magnificent university which would be
an ornament to any city. There was no
subscription, and all had a right to it. No
distinction was known. Each particular
denomination appointed its own theology
cal tutor, and the secular education was
open to all alike. CHEERS Sir Morton
also alluded to the vast growth of Boston
and New York. To understand America,
he said, they should 90 there, and no man
of business entering life should consider
his education complete until he had paid
that country a visit.

Inc LONDON correspondent oil Jhe Chl-
cago Tribune, under date of November
9Th, thus speaks of British statesmen
LORI PALMERsToN.
He was the most popular and the most
petted man in England. He had all the
prestige of old age with all the buoyancy
of youth; an aristocratic name and
lineage, with a democratic manner toward
the people; he was plucky, gay, witty,
loved a good dinner, was a good walker
and rider, kept open house for any person,
citizen or stranger; distinguished in any
thing, knew when TO talk and when to
hold his tongue, had a wife who was as
good a politician as himself, kept all his
faculties about him, laughed at adversely,
and walked hand in hand with success.
He was the Englishman of the age. He
represented the acreage of thought and
moral courage-not the highest, like Cob
den and Mill and Goodwin Smith. Since
his death 1 have had occasion to travel
over a large portion of England and all
men mourn him, and turn to one another
with an anxious look and say, "When
shall we get another pilot like him ?"

THE WAR Am SLAVERY,


Just a few words about the war. 1t
was from the very first a war of princi-
pie Slavery was at the bottom of it.
Hear, hear. AT the same time he was
bound to tell them that those who origi-
mated the war did not at the commence
ment of it see what would be its final ter
mination. There was a letter of Mr.. Lin
coins which he wished every one of them
had read, and before he said another word
let him say to them that the character of
that great,man had never been appreciated
in Europe, and when they came to read
his letters, messages and dispatches Just
published in New York, as he had read
the greater part of them; they would rise
from the perusal with a profound appre-
citation of the man, and thankfulness to
God that such a man lived in such a time.
Now, who fought in that war There
had been an impression throughout Eng
land that the war was fought by merce-
naries, but it had been shown hat ninety
per cent of those who fought in that war
were native Americans Icheers and two
thirds of the remainder were of the Ger
man element, and the other third were
Irish; and after enlarging upon this fact
and adverting to the manner in which the
widows and orphans of those slain in
battle were cared for, Sir Morton Peto
next said that he went to Illinois, and
found in every part of that great, fruitful,
and glorious district that he could not
speak to a man he met in regard to the
war and its results, but that the tears
would trickle down his face, and he felt
that the great heart of America wal one
in all that question and as to its settle
ment. ICheers So that East, and West,
and North, and even South, he believed,
would concur in the one sentiment in re-
gard to it, now that the war is settled.
rCheers.l 90.

THE COMING MAN IN ENGLAND.

The long lull in politics will now lie
broken. A storm is coming on, the in
tensity and duration of which no man can
calculate. He who held his hand over the
Cave of the Winds has fallen; a genuine
classical tempest will soon rush out and
work its will. Earl Russell, who forms
the new Cabinet, is only the sack at a
pinch" He is not the coming man. Nor
is John Bright. He is too good, too radi-
cal, too outspoken. In travelling about
England, L am struck by the u~npopulGrity
of John Bright. His position here is m
thing like that of Wendell Phillips in
America. People of average moral earn
estness hate him and fear him. They
know he is a wondrous orator and clear
headed man they know he tells them
terrible home truths-and that is the head
and front of his offending. John Bright
in a certain lofty and invisible way IS the
coming man of England, or, rather, he has
already come. He is the great political
censor. His influence is ihcalculable. But
there is no more chance ofhis being Prime
Minister han there is of Wendell Phillips
b ing President. The coming man is
WILLIAM EwART GLADSTONE. l sha-l
have more to tell you of him hereafter.
When Parliament opens 1 shall attend its
sittings, and shall give you personal de-
scriptions of him and the other great lights
of that BODY.

THE ABSORPTION OF THEARMY.

Then as to the army. There was a
wonderful thing in the absorption of that
army. The United States army was
/, 100000 strong, and General Grant had
told him at st. Louis he had mustered
s75, 900 men up to that day. He stated
that he did not mean to have more than
$4,000 men, and if their friends of the
South were sincere they would bring the
army down to 10000. [Cheers.] If these
men could go and be absorbed in civil
life, it must show that the country pos
sessed resources such as were never seen
before, and which nations in Europe
would do well to initiate. Loud cheers.

PRINTER SOLDIERS IN CHICAGO.

Sir Morton went on TO give an instance
of how the soldiers were absorbed into
civil callings, and he said that in Chicago
ne went over a large printing establish
ment, belonging to a gentleman who was
for some years a secretary ofthe Embassy
in London. Talking to him about the
war, he said that forty-seven of his CON-
positors were all of them soldiers. "That
man" said he, pointing to one, was a
major, that one a captain-that a ~lieuten-
ant-that a sergeant /; !" but they were all
at work as quietly as if they had never
left the comp0sitor,s desk. He (Sir Nor
toni asked what he did QofeFs they left
him. "oh," he replied, "BmTe them a
written undertaking that their situations
should be opened to them when they re-
turned" [Applause.]
INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
About the reconstruction of the South,
one thing that occurred to him in his visit
to America was his interview with the
President. He was a man who, if once
they were brought iuto contact with him,
they would never forget. He was one of
natures true nobility. He had not only
talent and mind, but, thank God, a heart
as well. TCheers. Andrew johnson was
almost a southerner, though he had not
been treated very well by his own oun
trymen on account of his upholding the
Union. But it wa a good thing for the
South that Andrew johnson knew how to
forget and forgive, and he was meeting his
brethren in the South in a way that such
men should be met. He did not refuse to
take them back to his confidence. If they
only said, ~ am sorry for what 1 have
done; 1 am ready to take the OATH the
Presidents answer would be simply, sMy
good friend, you are p~ardoned" tCheers.
He (Sir Morton) had read one of those
pardons, and the condition was that if the
party having that pardon should have a
Slave; or abet slavery, that pardon would
cease. Loud cheers.
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1865-12-02

He had there cast aside the influence OF
the priest, and was to a certain extent his
own master. He received two dollars a
day, if he only took the position of the
merest laborer. The honorable baronet
went on to remark that when he talked to
some friends in America respecting the
matter they laughed at it, and said, "Why
does not England put her w strong
hand upon it and put IN end to it? Zap
plause. They were not in a position to
do Us any injury, and we could afford to
show them our pity" [Cheers.]
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
He then adverted to the correspondence
between Lord Russell and Mr.. Adams,
and expressed his belief that it would not
end in war. loud cheers. Such was
not the intention of the American people.
lCheers. They had no idea of the KIND
lapplause; and when at New York the
other night he was asked to give an add
dress to the Union League, he labored
hard TO show how important it was that
two countries, advanced in civilization,
possessed of half the commerce of the
world-of the same race and ancestry-of
the same language, of the same laws and
the same literature, bound together by the
same religious ties, should be upon AMIGA
bic terms, and remarked, if these two ma
lions were to imbrue their hands in each
blood, it would be going back to
the time when barbarism ruled instead of
Christianity. Loud applause, the whole
issemblage rising to their feet and cheer
