his tongue to be silent ON one truth in order
to help another. He never sacrificed one
race to aid third. When Kossnth came to
| these sh0res-yOu remember it-he pointed
to our banner and said, Stars and Stripes
without blOt-a nation without crime =
| the Magyar, could you mot spare one
thought for four millions of slaves, more
| utterly wretched than your own serfs -
And he answered: "I would forget, the
negro, would forget the whole world be-
side, that I could save Hungary !" 0'Con,
Buckston told me that O'Connen entered
Pasliament in 1880 alone, having toiled
twenty years to go there. " The anti
slavery cause was SO weak" said Buckston,
that the only men to speak for it were
myself and Lushington; and we made q
set contract that one should always be
present when the other spoke, and should
cheer him and he should cheer me.n Laugh

At that moment O'Connell entered the
House. Twenty gentlemen, who
were called the West India Interest, the
Bristol party, the Slave party, went to him.
Said they: go Cornell, twenty-seven votes,
you have not one--twenty-seve votes if
you never will 60 to Free Masons' Hall
with Buckston and Brougham, if you are
never fou-d at an Anti Slavery meeting
there-an this solid column on every Irish
opponents" 1t was terrible temptation,
says Buckston. A man might almost be
pardoned for yielding. But, said he, O'COn-
nell turned; said he: Gentlemen, God
knows that have the most hapless censti-
tuency upon which the sun ever set, but
may my right hand forget it's cunning and
my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
before to help Ireland l keep silent on the
negro question" Applause. Never, said
Buckston, from that day, never did Lush
ington and myself walk out of the lobby
that O'Connen did not follow us. Again,
they sent him 9lOOO once from New Orleans,
the shareholders to the Catholic Repeal AS
ISOLATION the bill was laid ON the table of
Cancellation Hall, and the Liberator took it
up; said he, "God knows how poor we are,
how much we need it but, thank God Ire

planter who asked admission to the House
of Commons, he refused it. Said he, "I
do not think a STAKEHOLDER ought to be re-
ceived on terms of equality by a civilized
aongp sa h. A aRpa an Boston session..
came to his door, receiving him with both
hands, as was his wont. With genial hos
pitality, says he, "Sir, you are welcome.
am glad to see anybody from Massachusetts,.
1t is a free State. Walk in. You are a well
come guest" And he drew him into his
speak of slavery, Mr.. O'Connen. 1 would
like to discuss with you the justice of that
institution" Sc Discuss anything" said
O'Connell, "under this roof-any thing
but before you discuss the justice of one
mans owning another, just let me lock up
my spoons" Well, left him in 1871 or
1912, in London. He was standing between |
the Wing and Tory parties. He had fifty
votes that followed his bidding, called
O'Connelps tail The Tories and the Wings
were contentling for ascendency. Earl Grey
was reported to have said to him: What
do you want There is carte blanche.
Shall we repeal the statute of 1920, and
make you Lord Chancellor of Ireland? 1t !
is yours. Shall wc so further, and make
you Lord Chancellor of England ? 1t is
yours. Only save the Wing party" Beecber
once said, forgetting his calling -[laughter]
that we did not need empty words, we
needed deeds-forgetting that there are
times when words are the strongest deeds.
[ Applause.] Here was man of words; and
L left him standing in LondoD-this repre-
sentative of ten men-locked up in an upper
chamber, and he held the Tory party in one
hand and the Wing party in the other, and
was deciding to which he should give in.
