Congress. It was thus: "That Congress have no authority to interfere in the emancipation of slaves or in the treatment of them in any of the States, it remaining with the several States alone to provide rules and regulations therein which humanity and true policy may require." It is true that it was after that date that we in England took so prominent a part in the emancipation of slavery; but after the whole matter had been almost accomplished by us, what was the feeling of North America? Why, I find that most distinguished man, Daniel Webster, who represented Massachusetts as a Senator, said in 1830, with regard to this very resolution which I have quoted: "The House agreed to insert these resolutions in its Journal, and from that day to this it has never been maintained or contended that Congress had any authority to regulate or interfere with the condition of slaves in the several States." He was at that time contending against a feeling which the South exp

and Union; but at the same time it was well known that as soon as the interest of one section of the States differed from another they should secede, and the more amicably that takes place the better it will be for human nature. As an instance of what our own country has done in such questions, I would recall to your recollection that at the time we emancipated the slaves in our colonies the Dutch settlers on the Cape of Good Hope objected to it, left their territory, and settled on the Orange river; and England had since always recognized that territory as independent. Again, as far back as the year 1780, Ireland objected to our governing it, and carried a resolution into its parliament that it only recognized the Irish Legislature, and George III. as king of Ireland and not of England. We had then undergone the sad experience of the American war, and we recognized that independence, and it was only by sound argument, and not by attempted force, that we had brought them back

ple. But a most important question arose. About eight or nine years ago the English Government objected to the State of South Carolina seizing the negroes who came into port in our vessels and detaining them in prison till the ship in which they hd to the United States Government, who however, replied that it was no question for them, but one between England and South Carolina, and as it had to be arranged. But, at that very time, what did the United States Con- gress do? Why, so far o "stand by their arms,"and warned the General Government that it would be treated as a public enemy. Again: In 1829 South Carolina pronounced the national tariff "to be unauthorized by the Constitution, null and void; not binding on South Carolina,South Carolina, its officers and citizens." I quote these examples to show that the question of secession is as old as the States themselves. They agreed to form a Confederation and Union; but at the same time it was well known that as soon as the interest of

I am the last person to ask this country to interfere in any quarrel in which the United States are engaged; but I cannot view it in that light — I merely look to what will be the sufferin, and has never entertained any idea of putting an end to it. The question of slavery in the United States is one of labor; and, though having a great horror of slavery myself I must admit that it island and South Carolina, and as it had to be arranged. But, at that very time, what did the United States Con- gress do? Why, so far from expressing any sympathy with England in the matter, tthe American war, Capt.

The second American Revolution, as Viewed by a member of the British parliament. On the 25th October, Capt. Jervis, member of the House of Commons for the borough of Harwich, Essex, England, delivered a lecture to a large audience at Harwich, on American affairs. The fact has been already noticed in this paper, through a brief item from a Northern journal. A friend having favored us with a copy of the London Times, of the 26th October, we find Captain J.'s speech reported in that paper, and copy it below. It is evidently not very fully reported. It certainly does not do the speaker justice. It is plain, from the points touched upon, that there is much of his animadversion omitted in the Times. It is gratifying to see this one of the many proofs of the manner the English mind is being educated on the subject of our national difficulties. By special request, Capt. Jervis, R.A., one of the members for the borough of Harwick, delivered a lecture at the Town Hall yesterday

opulation. It may be said that we have nothing to do with cotton; that we are going to be happy in Essex all the winter, spend a merry. Christmas, and we ought to let the people of Lancashire starve until all is blue; but I shall endeavor to show you that you are directly concerned. I find that owing to this quarrel, besides cotton, a great portion of our mercantile transactions between this country and America are at a stand-still. Take the case of tea-cups and plates, which are Staffordshire ware. In August, 1860, those articles were exported to the value of 79,318 pounds; while in the same month, 1861, the extortions only amounted to the worth of 16,514 pounds; therefore there was so much less work in the Staffordshire potteries. In haberdashery the exports of August, last year, amounted to 138,720 pounds; but in this year only to 33,659 pounds; in linens, in the same months, the difference was from 228,119 pounds, to 42,279 pounds; in the iron market the amount had decre

distressing scenes that human nature can witness; and when we come to consider that throughout Lancashire the people are working half time — that is, three days instead of six--and if that is the case newspapers of the day. What has that to do with Essex? Now I say the people cannot suffer in Lancashire without you feeling it in Essex; and I will endeavor by a few figures to show you why I say so000 worth alone is exported, and of plain sewing cotton £700,000; a produce affecting not only Lancashire, but other districts, such as Lancashire. It has been said by people holding strong notions, Lancashire. It has been said by people holding strong notions, that our operatives ought to starve all the winter, rather than that we should interfere in the quarrel that is now taking place.

hole debt, from the fact that many of the States had threatened to secede. In the year 1797 we have the fact that Washington (than whom there was no man more thoroughly acquainted with his countrymen) wrote, on his retirement from office, an epistle which at the time rendered him very unpopular, to the effect that, if at any time any portion of the States attempted to carry their own interests to the detriment of other States, the Republic would break up. In the year 1825 the Government of Georgia, feeling itself ill used by the General Government respecting some Indian land, the Governor called upon the people of his State to "stand by their arms,"and warned the General Government that it would be treated as a public enemy. Again: In 1829 South Carolina pronounced the national tariff "to be unauthorized by the Constitution, null and void; not binding on South Carolina, its officers and citizens."

The traffic betwEssex; and I will endeavor by a few figures to show you why I say so. The traffic between this country and the United States where the cotton is produced, and by the manufacture of which so large a class is fed, amounted during the past year to £67,631,993, that is to say that there was over £44,000,000 of imports from America and over £22,000,000 in exports; and you cannot suddenly put an end to such a portion as £are to obtain cotton wherewith to feed our large manufacturing population.
