press ridiculed and sighted the rspub
lican movement in England to which
there own daily denuncistions Of the
{ worthlessnesso Of the royal family give
: constant encouragement and strength
! the American press, three thou
sand miles away, recognize its
Importance and lend its moral support
to generous sympathy, as the Ameri
can Republic lends its priceless support
and a glorious and successful example
These remarks were received with q
perfect tempest OF cheers for the United
States and a spirited address 10 the Re
public Of France was adopted, in which
it is declared that the monsrchs OF Ger
many prosecute the war now against
republicanism, and not against France
and that in so doing they are guilty Of
great crime against liberty and hu
manity. against the people of Germany
as well as against the people Of France.
The address tells the people of France
that the English people have demanded
and will not cease TO demand the recog-
milton of the Republic in France until
they have wrung compliance with this
will from a vacillating and cowardly
ministry. The Msrsellaise" was sung
with tremendous effect
The resolutions o. the meeting were
wholly friendly to the German people
but were very bitter against the German
princes, as one OF the resolutions ex
pressed il, who abuse the confidence OF
Germany as well as against the not less
German princes who thwart the freedom
of England"
The secretary of the meeting an.
nounced that the number Of addresses
in favor Of peace now circulating among
the working classes Of England reached
nearly one hundred thousand, and that
they had already received the adhesion
of nearly three millions Of workingmen.
1t was repeatedly declared that the
workingmcn of England honored the
people OF Germany for their patriotism
and gallantry in repelling the assault Of
the Napoleonic dynasty upon their
country, but they implored them TO be
ware OF suffering themselves to be led
by their own passions into q practical
conflict with another great people by
whom that dynasty had now been repu.
dated. The dominant ideas OF demons
stration were that war must cease, that
the republic must be sustained. The
demonstration increased continually in
numbers and in enthusiasm, and just
before adjournment the excitement was
carried TO fever heat by the arrival OF
another procession from Mile End
bearing between the flags Of France
and the United States a huge white
banner surmounted by the cap OF lib
erty and inscribed in golden letters with
the single word Republic"
Ii is universally admitted that no
such demonstration has ever before
been seen in London, and is considered
bv thinking men here TO be the begin
ming Of a political change, for which
the government OF Mr.. Gladstone has
prepared the way and by which it will
he swept out of power if it fails to ac-
cept and assist.
II was announced that the national
association OF workingmen had been
formed in the interests OF European
peace, and that an agitation in favor Of
arbitration instead OF war, would be be
gun and carried on throughout Eng
land, and that demonstration would be
prepared before the asSembl!.s OF Par.
lament 10 which Parliament and th
government wonld be compelled to give
heed.
