SIR MORTON PETo.
The 18th of November was celebrated in RristoI
England. this year by the customary meeting of the
AnceOr QiberaD Dolphin (conseryatiyel and Crate
fu (neutraD societies, each of which has been in ex
lstence upwards OF century. The object of these
societies is to perpetuate the fame and in some mea-
sure TO emulate the example of Edward Colston,
phllanthropist whose name is associated with so MANY
OF the educational and other charities of Bristol.
At the annual dinner Sir Moron Peto and Sir
John Bowrng were guests. Sir Morton gave an
elaborate account Of his observations during his late
tour in the United States. from the full report of
which in the London Times take the following in
terestlng passages:
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. lie received kind
ness without precedent, and had the ampest oppor-
tunity given him of knowing everything he desired
to know; and it was his fault if the desire for
knowle &C was not more than gratifed He went
there at most interesting epoch of the history of
America-at the close of the most tremendous strug-
gle known i'll modern times. lie did expect to find
he saw nothing of the kind; ICheers.l There was
nothing throughout the whole of the great country
that would have led him to suppose such struggle
had existed Sir Morton entered into statistics
which showed the RAPID growth AID development of
some parts Of the United States Cheers, Sir Nor,
ton also alluded 10 the vast growth of Boston and
\ CIV York. To understand America, he said, they
should go there and of business entering life
should consider his education complete until he had
paid that country visit.
THE WAR AND SLAVERY.
Just few words about the war. 1t was from the
very first war OF principle. Slavery was at the
was bound 10 tell them that those who orginSted the
war did not at the commencement of it see what
would be its final termination There was a letter of
Mr.. LlncolnS which he wished every one ofthem had
read, and before he said another word let him say
to them that the character of the great man had
never been appreciated in Europe. and when they
came to read his letters messages and dispatches lust
published in New York, as he had read the greater
part Of them, they would rise from the perusal with
a profound appreciation of the man and thank FIJI
ness to God that such man lived in such a time
Now, who fought in that war? There had been an
impress ion throughout England that the war was
fought by mercenarieS, but il had been shown that
ninety per cent of those who fought in that war
were native Americans cheers and two-thrds of the
rem alnder were OF the German element, and the
third were lrish and after enlargng 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 man he
ms1 in 9 ss and its rsa but that the
great heart OF America was one in all that question
and as to its settlement Cheers So that East and
West and North, and even South, he believed would
concur IN the one sentiment IN regard to it, that
the war is settled. Cheers.
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 man who, if
once they were brought into contact with him thev
would never forget. lie was one of natures true
nobility. He had not only talent and mind but
thank God, heart as well. LCheers.l Andrew John
treated very well by his cOuntrymen on account of
his unfolding the Union. But it was good thing
for the South that Andrew johnson knew how to for
get and forgive, and he was meeting his brethren in
the South in way that such men should be met. lie
did not refuse to take them back to his confidence
If they only said Il am sorry for what have done
l ready to take the OATH. the Presidents answer
would be simply, My good friend. you are par
doned.' Cheers He (Sr Norton had read one of
those pardons, and the conditions was that if the
party having the pardon should have slave or abet
slavery, that pardon would cease. Loud chcers.l
THE FENIANs
He would say word on one or two other matters;
first, with regard to EenianiSm Laughter and
cheers What did Fenianism in America mean p
Well it meant this that number of foolish Irish
men. having more money than they knew what to
do with allowed other people to pick their pockets
LLaughter and cheers. The, Irishman in America
was different being to what he was in his own
country He had there cast aside the influence of
the priest, and was to a certain extent his own
master. He received two dollars day. if he only
took the position of the merest aborer. The honor
able 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 own strong hand upon 1t and put an end to
1t? tAppause.l They were not in a position to do
any injury, and we could afford to show them our
pity. LCheers.I
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
He then adverted to the correspondence between
Lord Russell and Mr. Adams and EXPRESSED his he
lief that it would not end in war. Loud cheers =
Such was not the intention of the American people.
Cheers. They had no idea of the kind Applause I:
