Gentlemen, there ig another question concerning our ‘oreign relations on Wich a great deal of misapprehen- ‘on has at various times and very lately prevailed. 1 mean Lhe question of Mexico. It has been said that thore bas beex intervention ju Mexice, and that we in seme de- gree wok part in tbe intervention. Now, ‘hat word inter. vention is unluckily employed with a great d al of license ant confusion to express a great many different kinds of pre- coeding. There is an mterveution certainly when a Power the subjects of which have been wronged asks redress for these subjects, When their property has been unjustly taken, when the persova of their subjects have been injured, dat is an iniervcntion quite jusifialle and often indispensably mecersary, (Hear, heur.)

(Cheers.) ‘TRE AMERICAN QUE=TION. Well, gentlemen, 1 come now to another question.—a question interesting to us all—a questiva on which I must beg for your attention, because 1 Wish to expiain somo circumstances in which the character of this country I ‘think bas been maligued. 1 am speaking of what has oc- curred in what a few years ago were tha United States of America.

But there was another reason, L confess, that weighed me—our peo ere suffer ing, and suffering very tly, for the it of the ma- terial which was the great support of their industry. Jt ‘was a question of self-interest whether we should not break that blockade; but, in my opinion, the name of ngland would have been for ev r infamous if for the sake of inverest of any kind we had violated the genera luws of mations, and made war with ihuse slavehoiding Slaks of America Against the federal States.
