brought by the logic of events which torced

I'd our guesi it uuut bo more agreeable to re

represents the pi! lie c jr.ncier.ee, iovmg justice,

liut we believe il mainly due to the eilorts of
this class that she in still in a position to render
an alliance between us possihio. We reccnne
this influence in the check ll bus given to South
ern sympathizers among them, and we take
pl-usuru in believing thai it has boon under
pressure of Ihe same intiucucc that England
withdrew from all alliance with lha attempt to
place an Austrian throne upon the ruins of
wiser lt-puhlic an attempt which shocks the
public sentiment uf this country, and lav emiLeni

And while we aro making this recognition of
the generous and consistent support we have
received Irom tho liberal party abroad, whose
labor for us is a part only of their great works
in the general ini.resls ol humanity, we cannot
silently pas uv.r the services rendered by their
l.-llow-luborcrs on our own soil setvices wniou
have been only indirectly recognized, and in
most scanty measure. What to-day is the posi
tion of the men who tor the past thirty yetrt
have worked to bring our practice iutoconlormi

who, iu the snuggle against established and
