It was a noble enthusiasm among the people; but it was—anybody could see through it, for it was the veriest gauze—all an aristocratic sham. It did not mean anything for human freedom.

These farces were played off all through the British Islands; and the poor British people—who, from long habit, I suppose, go where their betters go, when allowed to—joined in the movement, and American anti-slavery societies were everywhere established. Even chambermaids and factory-girls contributed to raise a fund to send English missionaries over here to enlighten the North about the duty of the South to abolish slavery. Some of these scenes were sufficiently vulgar; but they were sometimes got up, in some respects, in fine taste. One

Their voice has conjured up a power No fears can daunt, no foes arrest, Which gathers strength with every hour And strikes a chord in every breast,— A power that soon in every land— On Europe's shore, on ocean's flood— Shall smite the oppressors of mankind And blast the traffickers in blood. Oh, where should Freedom's hope abide, Save in the bosoms of the free? Where should the wretched negro hide, Save in the shade of Freedom's trgiven. Bards of Freedom's favor'd land, Strike at last your loftiest key, Peal the watchword through the land, Shout till every slave be free.

We Americans cheated ourselves most egregiously when we thought England—once the head of the slavetrade, and only a few years ago the front of the abolitionism of the world—would turn her slavery-hating back on the only organized band of slavery propagandism on the earth! Poor fools we! Just as though the British aristocracy—the true name for the British Government—meant anything but interference and trouble for us when her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland chaperoned the gifted Harriet Beecher Stowe through the court of her Majesty, simply because Mrs. Stowe, by writing a great dramatic novel against slavery, could be made a cat's-paw to pull the chestnuts of the British aristocracy out of the fire! Yes, abolitionism suited the purposes of the British aristocracy just then; and lords and ladies swarmed at negro-emancipation gatherings at Exeter Hall. On all such occasions three standing jokes were played off, to the infinite amusement o
