m SPEECH OF JUDGE sPALDING.
Ma. PRESIDENT 81 said, last winter, on
| the fooEef Congress, that nothing served
so much to elevate my hopes and strengthen
my faith in the ultimate success of our gov
ernment in putting down the rebellion, as
the unremittiDg sound of the sculptor
| chisel upon the unfinished porticoes of the
| Capitol, even when the rebel army belea-
| guered the city Of Washington. Had !
known the important f ct that men of saga
| city, in England ard upon this Continent,
at the same critical period in our history,
were investing "ten millions Of
! pounds sterling in one of our
American Railways, I should certainly
evidence, quite conclusive, that our national
1 integrity WAS deemed invulnerable abroad.
All honor, then, to our noble guests for
their reasonable and striking manifes
tation of confidence in the people of the
| United States as teing both abls and will
| ling to defend, protect and preserve their
National Government
As Anglo Americans we should welcome,
| and we do welcome, to our homes and to
our hearts, all good men from the Hfather.

i we are descended from the same common
ancestry?
! Our names were bronze by the followers oi
| the Black Prince at Cressey, and of the
| gallant Henry at tAgincourt, as well as those

the indomitable valor of the English sol
der, upon those two fields of world wide
renownj "cropped OuP' in the language oi
the geologist) in many battle, fought by
their descendsnts, in. the great American
/ rebellion.
Consider, Mr. President, how many
things We have in common with English
men. The same language, the same htera-
| ture, the same liturgy, the same laws. We
| must, we will be friends, For have not oul
countrymen, in the last four years, and al
immense cost, earned the privilege Of ap-
plying to their own land, the soul-stirring
language of Cowper?

their associates in Europe have entered
upon the work of assisting in the devel-
| opment of our material resources.
With the knowledge acquired in their
recent tour from the city of New York, &c
| the great commercial marts of Chicago and
| ST. Louis, they will not be at a loss to un
| derstand why we noI0 term those resources
| erhGuStleSS.
From the single city of Chicago, there
was shipped eastward, in 1852 and 1868
| one hundred and eleven million bushels Of
| edible grain and in the same space ot
| time, there were killed in that city and
prepared for market one million three hun
| dred and swenty-three Thousand hogs, oi
| which one hundred and sixty. six millions
| nine hundred and forty four thousand
| pounds was packed, in the form of English
bacon, particularly for the European mar
| ket.
And, in the same space of time, the
amount of tonnage going East and West
over the New York & Erie, the New York
Central and the Central Pennsylvania Rail-
ways and the Erie Canal was twenty mill
ions, seven hundred and pinety-two thou
sand tons. Add to this the immense trade
| by way of the Lakes, the River St. Law
renee, and the Railways leading 10 New
England and the mind becomes confused
with the magnitude of the reckoning.

Petroleum or rock oil, in the Transports
tion of which the Atlantic 4 Great estern
Railway takes precedence of all other
modes of conveyance combined, is fast be-
ceming one of the great interests of the
country. 1t forms already large item in
our exports, and is constantly adding mil
lions to our material wealth. :.
Our coal is said, by Sir William Arm
strong, 10 be thirty-two times as great in
qusntity as that OF the United Kingdom of

bears nearly the same proportion.
have seen it stated that q single county
in Penpsy fvsnia contains more iron than
| South Wales.
The copper mines of the region round
about Lake Superior can be made to sup
ply the civilized world; and as for gold
and silver, let California and Nevada be
held responsible. They will protest no
drafts drawn on them for the precious
metals.
As to the pecuniary interests of our peo-
| pie, mean those who were recently en-
gagged in putting down the rebellion; it is
sufficient TO say that they have since the
war, loaned to the government five hun
dred millions of dollars upon very short
notice and the fact is worthy of historical
record that, during many of the days on
| which the loan was taken, two thousand
| loyal citizens, of slender means, were found
subscribing fifty and one hundred dollars
each, along side of men of wealth who of
I fered their tens of thousands.
Il is worthy of remark, in this connec-
ton, that under the auspices Of the United
Stetes Government, 3 railroad is in proces IS
of construction from the valley of the Mis-
siseippi 70 the shores of the Pacific. When
completed, as it assuredly will be, in q rea-
son6ble time, who will be able to set limits
to the carrying trade of the great lines of
communication between the East and the
