a fresh outburst of personal hatred, OF winch me-

10 receive party Of excursionists. and TO
talk to them in an easy way, he Is accused
Of playing the dcmagOguc. Ii is probable ne
viii survive the accusation. His last spee'h
was in the man,a sensible and good speech OF us
kind The tag at the end, about the wakng-stick

sometimes attempts. 1t is mistake. because
be happens to be unusually deficient IN a
sense Of humor in Of the ludlcrouS also,
which is moi quite the same thing. He touched
briefly on a good many subjects; among others,
there was a passage with particular Interest Tor
Americans-tat IN which he referred TO Lancashire
and Che conduct Of its people daring our Rebellion.
"Noman" said sir. Gladstone, "who belongs to that
county, can look backward on that part of its his

What was ii that induced the people of that county
brought y very large portion of them. almost to the
verge of starvation-what was it that induced them
conteutedly TO remain deprived OF the raw material
upon which they were absolutely dependent for the
decent, tolerable comfort and subsistence OF them
selves and their famlies2 Why was it that they
never for one moment lifted hand or voice in de
fence ol q cause which they thought to be The cause
Of slavery; but, the contrary, gave their strong
and iirm adhesion to the cause which thoy thought
was he cause of freedoml What WIS Il that led to
that magnificent and heroic sc'f-denial Why. was
it not that de.piscd thing which is called sentiment,
which God Almighty has given 20 human nature, to
back mp our weak convictions, and TO give force and
energy to them whom they are enlisted in q cause
which our reason has told us is q right cause j!
The question Nh Gladstone ASKS is one winch the
English Turks who disappr0ye of tire sentiment
