Indications durig the past eur lead us to infer a disposition of friendliness towards ‘upon the part of England.

Honor to bim who pursued it so well; honor to the man who digcovered it for himself. Yes, roy friends, ee {t was said of Napoleon, that he would go down to posterity with the code ‘which bears hig name in his hand, so it may be said of Abra. ham Lincoln, he will descend to future ages holding in his right band that immortal proclamation. Be it yours to make it sure: be it yours to give it effect: be it yours to convert it into a reality. Rest not, pause pot until ‘every negro, who is made logally and ‘constitutionally free by that inetrument stands erect, his shackles gone, invested with the dignity of a maa and clothed with the privileges of a citizen. (Applause, and cries of ‘We ‘will.”) He Dad nothing but scorn and contempt for Northern copperheads who sympathized with the rebels. Mr. Thompeon then proceeded to speak of alleced want of ‘sympathy of the peopie of England with the North in the Present struggle. There were thoee in Kngland who would gladiy witness the defeat of the North: put there ever wae a time when the great masses of the English people did not sympathize with America jn all efforts to realize that which was excellent and good. He men- tioned the ignorance of the masses of the English people in reference to the political history of the country, who ‘were positively bewildered by such terms as “Jocofocos.”” “wooly beads,” “pewter muggers,” &c.,&c. He (the soeaker) was not ignorant of the meaning of those terme, for be kvew a great deal more about American than sbeat Engli:b politics, and went on to eay that be had all the “plat‘orms’’ by heart, and could give a history of their hae and the fate which they rerched. The papers pubd- issbe:! In this country that were most widely disseminated in Fogland did not give the moet just repreeentation of the troe state of things in America. He would undertake to say that pot ene jn @ thousand in England knew by what combination of elemente Mr. Lincoln was placed in the Treeidcntial chair. Mr. Linooln’s speech fromt he stepeot the Capitol, on the 4th of March. 1861, was not clearly understood by the people: of England, for he was careful to prove to the South that tp hie hands their interests: and institutiens would be safe. The speaker then alluded wo the subsequent: bean 5 a legislation of Congress, und aid that tne people of England had become con- vinced that the nation bad entered upon the path which the Pathfinder had found, and that it would ever cease to provecute it until it ended in universal freedom. He attributed the want of sympathy with the North to the activity of the secession leaders in England, who, tp every Jostance when they attempted to hold pub- hie meetings tn the large cities, failed to get a crowd to- gether, while, cn the contrary, the moneter meetinge held by the Emancipation societies’ were attended by thou- sande. Mr. Thompson exhibited large placards or ‘*poet- ers” to the audience as physical evidences of the efforts made by the Engiish mbolitionists to enlighten tbe work- ing classes of Fngiand upon the nature of the American struggle. (Some of these bills exhibited negroes in chains and the indentations in thetr backs cause! by the Jagh.) In some cages those bills were carried by mev ona board behind and before (they called them ‘sandwiches’? in London) who paraded the streete, and. in one instance, Stood in front of the beadquarters of the Confederates, whose apartments were contiguous to the office of the American Legation, i the most fashionable equare on lordon, Mir, Thompson spoke of Jackson, the colored coacbman of Jeff Tavis, who visited London, ond wae a guest at hig house, and described how Jackson attended @ meeting of the Confederates. and was intro- duced to Mr. Mason, the rebel envoy. The speaker com- mented upon the epeeches made by Mason, especially the one detivered at the banquet given by the Lord Mayor, who {nied t0 €ecure an election ag President of the most Prominent ecciety of enrceons, in consequence of his re- ception of Mason.. He charged Mason, nt a public meet- ing held son after the banquet, with being author of the Fugitive Slave law and the chief inatigator of the crusade againet tbe hero and martyr of 1830, John Brown. tn corclusinn he said be bad a message to the American people, which was, that they must pot rest until slavery was destroyed.
