vet it shall live purified and strengthened
by the affections through which it has passed.
The principles Of Liberty shall never die,
but like the words Of the prophets, they shall
endure forever. 1t is not easy to conquer q
freedom-loying people; it is not easy to
tear from great nation the honors which they
have worn for 90 MANY years. Our mission
is not vet completed. The dearest and most
precious hopesof the race are interviewer with
our existence. The predictions of prophecy
applied to us, demonstrate clearly and
strongly that the grand design of the Re-
public is to destroy all systems of monarchi-
cal Government, and to propagate the
principles of liberty to the ends of the earth.
The j ondon Times in 1851 gravely de-
clared that the United States was only suit
ed for fair weather, and not for dark tenn
pests. The British government was unmask-
ed, driven from her position OF neutrality,
showed herself the feroclous monster that
she has always been. The heart OF every
aristocrat was glad. Since the days OF Wa
terloo no more welcome tldlngs reached them
than when they heard the mad secession OF
the southern states. hawdon declared IN
the commons, tnat the thundcr CLOUD nad
vanished-that the bubble democracy hac
burst. Lord Russell stated at an agricultu-
raj banquet that the North was fighting to
enslave the South. The hoary headed
Brougham averred that the object OF the war
was infamous; and Palmerston amidst the
resembling cheers of Parliament, denounced
the slashing Butler--the black mans friend
Ito be monster. Have these aristocratic
ruffians forgot that republics are more vigo-
rous IN war than in peacea 1t is prosperity
and not adversely that is most dangerous to
them. 1t was not in peace, that Holland
frcm community of clod hoppers, sprung
up into the robust proportions of great
nation-renowned in art, in learning, in
commerce and in glory. The Roman re-
public endured for 466 years, during which

Alps, bears aloft above the haughtiest heads
of Europe amid the lightnings and the ca
giles of the mountains, the excelsior banner

A dear and valued friend of mine, who
served with distinction through the first three
years of the war, fred by love of liberty,
crossed the ocean and engaged in the strug-
gle for Ireland, for whose independence
Grafton plead and Emmett died-he was
cast into prison, and he assured me some
time ago, that when he heard the news boys
crying through the streets, /" The North is
