ITHACA, n. Y, MAY 20-Professor Gold
win Smith, 10 whom Sumner alluded in his
speech on the Alabama treaty, delivered
reply TO that speech last night. Professor
Smith said he spoke both as an Englishman
still loyal to his country, and also as one
hoping TO make his home for many years in
America.
He first briefly reviewed the relations be-

the late war, aud then analysed Summers
speech, argument by argument. He denied
that England in any way acted in bad faith,
and asserted that the Palmerston Govern

pier disunitec from England, would vote for
her independence. But Epglishmen would
never consent to relinquish these colonies as
equivalent for such claims as those set up by
Sumner.

Justly. He omitted to state that England re-
jected the offer of France to join in polit-
ical recognition of the Confederacy This
was strictly done TO effect the escape Of the

Sumner, throughout, was Influenced by his
hatred of slavery. He lugged his rancor
against that institution into every political
speech. His taunts against England gave a
strong blow At the very men, like Bright and
Others, who always opposed slavery, and
who had been the warmest friends of the
Mon. They would feel its effects, while
the Tory party, which had been enemies of
