At an immense mass meeting
! held at Frankfort, Kentucky, on
Saturday, Hon. Geo. IL, Pcndlcton
\ made an elaborate speech from
. which We take the following clio
qucnt extract;
England has had her Ireland and
her Scotland. Ireland was con.
quercd ailor many and bloody wars;
her lands wcro contiscated TO En-.
glishmon; her Catholic subjects
We're made TO pay tithcs Cor Pro.
tcstant Church; her Parliament was
abolished; foreigners wcro sent To
rule over her; II foreign Legislature
made laws for her, and il has been,
from that timc-to this, and il will
continue to be so as long as this
policy lasts, that Ireland will be II
discontcntcd and unhappy people,
and hostile province. (Choers) On
tho other hand, Scotland was tho
pet child of King James. It's laws
were preserved; its habits werc
maintained; its laws wcr incorpora.
ted into tho laws of the land; it pre-.
served its autonomy; it preserved
its identity, oven though il was in
corporatcd most closely into the
body of the kingdom 1t turns out
to-day that Scotland is the most
loyal and faithful subj ct of the
British throne.
Twenty years ago you remember
tlat Hungary was in a rcbclion.-
Kossuth led the army. Rnss:c::a was
brought &c suppress tho rebellion. 1t
was suppressed, i,ossuth was sent
into cXilc. But Francis Joseph had
learned lessons of wisdom from the
experience of the short reign. He
restored their constitution; he res
torod their customs; he sent his wife |
and children among them; he for
bore to impose impossible oaths; he
crowned himself with tho iron crown
ofSt. Stephen, and it so happened
that when the day of calamity came
when the power of Prussia, upon
the bloody field of Sadowa, under
mined and almost toppled down
the tottering fabric Of his govern
ment, it was Hungarian legions and
Hungarian regiments that stood
between him and destruction, and
repaid with their lives and fidelity
the lenity and justice of his admin
istration- (Cheors.)
Cannot American citizens learn II
lesson of wisdom from the expert
encc of the past? The Southern peo-
pie are their brethren. They are our
fellow countrymen. They are of
our blood and race. They arc brave
and hish-spiritcd people Say that
they have errcd-say that they
have sinned. Let him that is with !
out sin cast the first stone at them
lfyou tread upon thew they will
turn again and sting you, but you
meet their patience with kindness,
If you meet their magnauimity with
Justice, ifthis country and this gov
will open wide its arms and
receive them in penitencc again
they will throw themselves as upon !
.he palpitating heart of a loving
mother, they will prove the most 6
obedient and faithful children !.
Prolonged applause Nature, sue
cess, God himself commands con
of men. The father con
;iliates his disobedient child; the $
husband his disobedient wife; mem a
,ers of churches conciiate each :
,ther; members of political associa- Il
ions conciliate each other, and as /,
here is truth in our holy religion, !,
t was God who made sacrifice of !,
lis Son to conciliate us all to himself u
And shall we not be able to be re- u
onciled to our brother? Justice II
ommands it: experience approves II
t, wisdom dictates it, and my fol- .
ow citizens, God will bless it. "
