The Downfall of England.
SPEECH OF GEORGE i. TRAIN'.
Tl;e Boston Bulletin gives the follow .ug
report of a speech cUy delivered by I
CfeoKOR F. T'ift a D -ton Yankee, be-1
fo:e ilic Brotherhood of S:. Patrick, in
London. Mr. Train v. as expected here
by the end of thN mouth; but it is said
that, ju-t before the sailing of the steam
er. he was arrested in consequence of the
delivery of this speech :
Mr. Chairman and Irishmen of the
'iiolherhood of St. Tatrlck —i speak to
vou in the namvs of one hundred and fifty
thousand of vour countrymen, who are
now my countrymen as well, who are
fighting the battle of vour people as well
as my people (cheers) —the great battle
of humanity in that highly favored land,
where iibeitv means the common rights of
human nature, and where human being
are treated like men. In the nan eof the
Irish army of the West, 1 ask you to
cheer for the Union of America and the
| disunion of Ireland from Great Britain
(loud cheers.) Those cheers foreshadow
already the 1 'ownkall of Enguanb (hear.)
Englishmen are so busy plotting the ruin
of America, predicting the death knell of
the nation and praying for the downfall
j of America, there can be no objection to
inv changing the topic, and speaking to an
Bi-li audience on the Downkau ok Eng
i.and (cheers) England is supposed to
he a Gibraltar—a rock, of strength, so
grand, so powerful, so rich, that anything
1 might say would fail to penetrate her
iron armor of egotism, and copper sheath
ing ot assumption (laughter.) I speak for
the people. Ihe aristocracy have all the
lawyers to speak fur them (laughter.)
Some day men will he considered men,
and the ‘’simple annals of the poor” will
be heard in Heaven.
Fhal! crime bring crime for ever,
Strorgli aiding still the strong ?
Is it thy will, oh Father,
That man shall toil for wrong?
No! s.iy thy mountains. No! thy skies;
Man’s clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard histeed of sighs,
God save the people !
(Cheers.) When I alludeto (he downfall
of England, I mean the uprising of the
people—when men shall have voles, and
not be called the mob. The American
rebellion is the icorld's rebellion , and the
life of America is the death of England.—
British statesmen have acted on that hy
pothesis. America will live, England will
die—such is the law of nations. Pros
perity, then adversity. The antithesis
follows everywhere in nature, right, left,
up, down—abuse a man, then praise him
—strong, weak, young, old. When a
man is very ill, he must get better or die
The runner at the top of his speed must
slacken or fall. So the nation that has
mounted the last round of the ladder must
drop or descend step by step. America is
going up. England coming down. '1 he
downfall of England commenced the mo
ment the governing classes laid their plans
for sapping away the liberties of the peo
pie. Taxation without Representation
is Bodberv (cheers )
Ah! dron the treacherous mask! throw by
•The cloak which vailed thine instincts fell ;
Stand forth thou base, incarnate Lie,
Ft impel with the signet braid of Hell!
At last we view thee as thou art —
A trickster with a demon’s heart.
(Loud cheers.) Involution is catching—
like laughter, fever or speculation. One
suicide follows another; and mure mur
ders have taken place during the last few
weeks than the previous ten months.—
When an accident happens in the morn
ing, something goes wrong each hour in
the day ; one man gapes and then the
whole pat tv begin to open their mouths
[laughter j The French Revolution in
‘4S inaugurated ’.evolution in Italy, revo
union in Hungary, revolution in Poland,
and two hundred thousand shopkeepers
ranged themselves into line to stop revo
lution in London. Some revolutions are
>iient. others are noisy; the Thirteenth
Century devolution was silent—the Nor
man overcame the Saxon, ending the tyr
anny of nation over' nation. Th 3 Eights
eenlh Century Revolution was also silent,
ending ihe propuiv in man. The Barons
under lho Plantagenets, Macaulev says.
deyradid the peasants la the hvel <f the
swine and oxen they tended. When Eng
land abolßhed the slavery of the body the
governing classes commenced enslaving
the min'd. Their success may be seen by
going into the back country, and talking
with the setfs vou find there. There rre
no such people in Ameiica. Lafayette,
when riding through the crowded streets
of Boston years ago, saw the thousands of
smiling faces and the well dressed, men
that i ned the road, and asked, “ Where
are your common people 3"’ ‘‘There.”
replied the Mayor, “are all the common
people we have in America” (cheers.]
The dwarfed tree of the Asiatic was made
by continual wound.-,—the mammoth oak
of the American fore t was not tortured
out of shape by the hand of man. Liber
ty is a dwaif in England, —in America a
giant.
Columbia nerd-* no heraldry, nor strange, time
honored crest.
To stamp her name and tide clear, the Queen
of a!I the West!
The st,.r- of heaven upon her sh'eM in silver
cln-ter- shine ;
The wreaths of (a i.e that bind her brows, her
thankful mil ions twine.
[Cheers.] As superstition is credence
without evidence, as tyranny is the exer
cise of power wit!,out light, so taxation
without repre entation is robbery. Dead
men ought not to legislate for live men.
1 he founders of tour debt are gone—pos
ferity is paying for their blunders. If the
working would look in re into
books and I*--s into quart pots, they tto’d
be wiser and holler aide to cope with the
clever statesmen who keep them in the
serfdom (hear and applause) God save
the people !
When ik thou save the p'-.-pl ?
Uli! Hcd of iitrey! when ?
Not r,ing and lords, but nati, n I
Not thrones an 1 crowns, hut man ?
Flower* of the heart, oli (lod, are they !

There are six millions of able bodied
mm in England whose post lion is lower
than the American slaves. Five negroes
arc allowed three votes by the Consult!
lion, which makes a negro three-fifths of
a man ; hut in England he is not counted
so high as the cattle of the field or the
trees in the forest. Even the million of
voters on the lists have no actual repre
sentation. Thev are bought and sold as
regularly as corn, or hemp, or iron. on
can look at the share lists in the Reform
and Cailton clubs. They will tel! you to
a pound the cost of any rotten borough
in the kingdom. America is natural—
England artificial. Cod wa the engineer
of America's water woiks; England less
favored, employed man. Cod was our
gardener, man yours. Our corn feeds
vour millions as our cotton f mi-dies them
with clothes. Our institutions give your
masses hope for better days, and our revo
lution lias furnished you with a platform
for vour revolution. Parchment is of no
use; the bayonet has a sharper point than
the petition—parchment is of no use in
our day —the people must act. Vex pop

When wilt thou save the people?
Oh, God of Mercy, whan ?
The people ! Lord, the people !
Not thrones ami crowns, but men !
God 1 save the people ! thine they a e,
Thy children, as thy angels fair;
Save them from misiule and despair!
God save the people.
(Cheers.) The downfall of England :s
rapid when her colonies fall off. The
heart of royalty must be feeble when its
extremities decay. The colonies of Eng
land, for their own protection, will he
obliged to shake off the incubus of the old
country. Canada already is rolling off
the reel. The Times prepares the wav.
Lot her slide. She is useless now. We
cun do without her. Lord Palmerston

they would arm themselves. Isay if they
are men they ivill declare their independ s
ence [cheers].
The Lords are equally defiant. Sour
grapes grow thick upon the English tree
of despotism, (live Canada money and
she is loyal. Stop the supply and she
stops the Militia Bill. Canada taxes Eng
land’s manufactures, and England pays for
her army. How long will the hard work
ing men of England submit to be taxed
and pauperized to please the aristocracy I
Before the election of another American
President Canada will be a nation [cheers.]
Asa dependency, sbe is a pauper. Asa
nation she is a millionaire Ihear.] Ten
minutes after her Declaration of Indencn
dencc, America will acknowledge Canada
as a sister Stale [hear.] Are there no
statesmen in Canada equal to the oppor
tunity ? Irishmen, I call upon you for
three hearty cheers fur the Republic of
Canada ! the first President the Irish reb
el, Thomas D’Arcv McGee. [The call
was loudly responded to with additional
cheers].
Australia may be loyal now ; but war
between America and England will expose
her to danger from our Monitors. Seeing
this, up will go the Jlag, the five star (lag
that was raised over the Eureka stockule,
on the Ballarat, in 1854, when Captain
Wise and forty soldiers were shot by the
diggers, under Lawler and McGill. That
was only eight years ago, I was a mer
chant at Melbourne. One hundred thou
sand tons of shipping iron were consigned
to my house in 1853-51. The leader of
the forces on the Ballarat offered me the
Presidency of the Australian Bepublic, in
the name of the Diggers of the Revolution
(cheers). I was a man of commerce then.
I declined. Cult sent me one hundred
dollars’ worth of revolvers; the diggers
wanted them. I refused to sell ; and
while there no one can sav that I was not
a good colonist. The Irish there were
my friends. In 1855 I was a guest, when
the Brotherhood of St. Patrick gave the
parting banquet at Melbourne to William
Smith O’Brien [loud chcer-J. That dis
tingui.-hed Irishman and lover of liberty
toasted in eloquent words America, and
gave my naqie therewith 1 replied, and
those Ir;-h cheers still ring in my remem
brance [applause |. And Irishmen are
always welcome when 1 think of those
cheers, and the Irish Brigade who are
fighting the bade of liberty over the sea
[cheers.]
Australia wdl soon be a nation. Hur

Stand together, brothers all
Close together, close together :

Close up together, tight together.
Peace, no noise, but hand in hand ;
Let cairn resolve pervade your band,
And wait till nature’s God command
Then strike together, all together.
(Cheers). Twenty years ago O'Connell
was at the zenith of his fame. I allude to
the time when he forced from a Tory min
istry Catholic emancipation —(cheers)
when he opened the city corporations to
Catholics, and was elected the first Catho
lic Lord Mayo r of Dublin. This was the
time bo swore that Ireland should have
her House of Peers ami House of Com
mons. His Repeal speeches are monu
ments of energy. He showed where £l,
id 0,000 were expended to buy rotten bor
oughs for Engli-h representatives, where
£15.( 00 was oj*en!y paid for a borough,
and £>,ooo for one vote, or an ofiiceof 2,
000 a year if (he vote could not be bought
with gold. 1 liese were the days when
twenty peerages, ten bishoprics, seven jud
ges, at, and whole regiments were given to
officers of the army and navy if they would
vote for the Union. All this came out
and more 1 {•• >wed how 700,000 bad
petitioned against the Union, and only
3,000 for it; hut then England had 13,-
dOO soldier-, in Ireland,so says the history
.f < • Connell -poke a 1 ! the-e truths
twenty vears ago. He showed the injus
tice of making Ireland jay interest on the
English National Debt, which he called
making Inland pag for the knife with
which Ln>d Cistlereeigh cut his throat. >ir
Robeit Peel and the Duke of WC iington
stated that iht-v brought in the Catholic;
Etna’ ciiiation Bill to avert civil war.

And murder, fame and strength a!ike.

178,1-4; she would have had with usual
increa-e of population 9 h 000.000 in 1851, j
and 10.200,000 in IbG’i. But -ho had but
0,515,774 in 1857, and less than six mill
ions now; where have they gone? Go
ask the grave yard cd the Irish poor.— ,
The balance have fled to America, where
abundance awaits them and good will
cheers on their well paid labor (cheers).
0 God! look down upon the land which thou
hast loved so w ell.
And grant that in unbroken truth her children
still may dwell;
Nor while ti e grass crows on the hill, and
streams flow thrruch the vale.
May they forget, their fathers’ fuel, or in their
covenant fail!
God keep the fairest, noblest lanl that lies he
re itn the sun—
Our con: try, our whole country, and our coun
try ever cue !
-loin hands and be a nation
Unite, to free your fathers’ sod.
It matters not to me.—
At different shrines you kneel to God—
Cannot you all be free ?
Cannot you join to break the chains,
To strike for manhood's right?
O ves, you’!! ne’er more slaves remain—
For Ireland’s sake unite !
(Cheers).
Look at America—our army is yours.
Union is as essential to you as tons. Ire
land forever ! Three cheers for the land
of the brave. The spirit of Ireland is
again alive. You cannot crush it. Nino
times England’s confiscation edicts Lave
thundered upon her people—seven centu
ries of continued injustice, outrage, mur
der ! —yet Ireland lives again in the 150.-
000 Irish soldiers in the American army
(cheers). Tim Sixty-ninth still cheers for
Corcoran. The Chicago Montgomery
Guard still cheer.; for Illinois and the
West as th y fclight at Lexington ; Shields
was backed by Irish at Winchester; and
the Irish Brigade at Fair Oaks stopped the
rebels in their advance. The Massachu
setts Ninth, and the Pennsylvania Sixty
ninth wore Irish regiments [loud cheers].
All hail, then, Irishmen, as you live your
lives over again in the army of (he Consti
Union [loud cheers]. Our army is your
army. I.et Catholic and Protestant com
bine for Union. Ye do not inquire, when
the Irishman volunteers, whether lie be
Protestant or Catholic [cheers].
Unite, and by die famine graves,
By your sires’ sacred dust,
You shall not, w ill not, long be slaves—
You’ll break your chains accursed.
The tyrant Saxon s-->oti shall quake,
At banded millions might;
The time is nigh—arouse ! awake!
For Ireland’s sake unite!
[loud cheers],
England’s downfall commences when
America closes up the ranks, and peace
cements Union and perpetuates Republics
and universal suffrage—when “rank is but
the guinea stamp,” and “ a man’s a man
for a’ that. ” These cries must shortly
come into fashion ; Canada fur the Cana
dians, Australia for The Australians, and
Ireland for Irishmen [loud cheers]. What
distracts your country ? Shall I tell you ?
[Yes]. Well, then, it is a firebrand that
England knows how to use—a firebrand
thrown into your ranks whenever you talk
of nationality. [Name] That firebrand
is religion [bear, and cheers]. Now, my
idea is that so long as you permit this
bone of contention to distract vour coun
cils, so long you will remain in slavery,
and bo what O’Connell told the Parlia
ment—alien in manners, alien in language,
alien in religion, and alien in the very
land that once belonged to Irishmen [lend

There are 451,000 operatives in the 2,-
800 cotton mills of England, and they re
ceive but 10s. 01. per week, or Is. Gd. per

Mark well the hand-writing over the

Horrible Indian Massacres in Minne
sota.
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 22.
We can no longer shut our eyes to the I
| fact that the Sioux Indians have commenc
! ed war upon settlements on our own Iron
| tier, and have massacred hundreds of men,
women and children.
1v a letter from Fort Ridgelv, 20ih, 111
M., we learn that 31 r. Wykoff, acting Su-
I perintendent, on his way to the upper Si
i oux : gem-ms to make the annual payment
met a messenger six miles from Ft. Kidg
, ley, Monday morning, announcing an out
I reak at the lower Sioux agency, ami the
murder of all the whites in the vicinity, ex
cept a few who had made their escape.
Cant. Marsh with 45 men immediately
set out for the agency, leaving 25 men at
the Fort. In the evening 17 of the men
returned to the ferry opposite the Agency.
Capt. Marsh encountered a large body of
Warriors who opened fire upon him, and
; after a few volleys a large body of Indians
ambuthed in bis rear,opened upon him im i
mediately, killing a large number of bis
I men,
A retreat was attempted, in which it was
thought expedient to make a crossing of ■
the river. While in the water a volley l
was fired upon Capt. Marsh, who
atc-ly went down. Besides the captain, 3
! sergeants and 4 corporals are known to
be killed and a largo number of his com
mand.
Monday night, was a night of anxiety at
this garrison. Every precaution was taken
to protect the Fort.
The light of the burning buildings and
grain stacks lighted up the entire horizon.
Escaped citizens came in during the night,
giving accounts of horrors 100 terrible for
the imagination to conceive or appreciate.
Mothers came in rags and bare footed,
whose husbands and children had been
slaughtered before their eves. Children
carno who had witnessed the minder of
their parents, or their burning alive in
llieir own bouses.
Every species of torture and barbarity
the imagination can picture seems every - '
w here to have been reported to.
A letter received bv Gov. Ramsey from
Thoa. G. Galbraith, U. S. Agent, dated
Fort Kidgely, Aug. 20th, in whic^Lesays
all the Sioux are up in arms, indiscrimin
ately murdering every white person, and
devastating the country.
Neither age nor iex are spared. More
than one hundred persons are known to be
killed, and he believes at least 1,000. lie
says be cannot go into the horrible details
of this wholesale massacre. It is worse
than the imagination can picture.
The same letter states that recruits were
constantly coming in, and at the time cf
writing there were 200 armed men at the
l ort. The roads between Fort Kidgelv
and ibe Agency, and in the direction of
New I Im, are lined with murdered men,
women and children. From 300 to 100
women and children scaped from their
homes for miles around, who are mow in
thase barracks.
Air. J. J. 1 orier, ol Alaukelo, a member
of the last Minn. Legislature, strived here
last evening on a mission to the Governor
from the cir/.eus of that place to procure
arms for their defence, lie gives us the
following reliable news of murders near
New Ulm :
Monoav morning the people of Manketo
beard of the first murder, and of Indian
outrages. Many disbelieved tbe reports,
having been previously alarmed without
cause.
Porter was one of the committee ap
pointed to go to New Ulm and learn the
truth as to the reported murders. Ho ar
rived at New Lira on inesday morning,
and found the people making preparations
to bury five persons who had been murder
ed between Vancy and theAown. Others
were being constantly brought in, the bod
ies most horribly mutilated.
He went into a room and saw four woun
ded person*, horribly mutilated and in tho
agonies of death.
They were cut with hatchets in the head,
arms, <fcc , and one little girl was out
across the face, breast, and side. A little
boy was dreadfully cut up, also a middle
aged woman. In an adjoining room he
saw a child with its bead cut off, and six
teen other gashes upon its person, and
eleven others similarly mutilated—most of
whom were Americans.
When Mr. P, left New Ulm, at 2 P. M.,
on Tuesday, tho people were fully aware ot
the danger, and had resolved to defend the
town to the last. The women were taking
care of the wounded. Men were in the
streets drilling w ith such arms as they pos
sessed. Some had fowling pieces and ri
fles, and others were learning the bayonet
exercise with pitchfoiks on their wav to
Manketo.
Mr. P. was overtaken by men who left
New Ulm at a later hour,and reported the
Indians had attacked the town at 5 P. M.,
and burned several buildings. Indians
numbered about two hundred mounted on
ponies. Firing still going on. Several
citizens seen to fall, but no Indians. The
people all gathered in thickest part of vil
lage, and had barricaded the streets.—
This is the latest advices.
Governor Ramsey issued veslerdnv a
proclamation, calling on the militia of tho
valley of tho Minnesota and counties ad
joining the frontier, to take hoiscs and
arms and equip themselves, and at once
report to the officer commanding (he expe
dition, now moving up Minnesota river to
the scene of hostilities. Officer command
ing the expedition has been clothed with
full power to provide for all exigencies that
may arise. Ho says this outbreak must bo
suppressed, and in such a manner as will
forever prevent its repetition.
Mounted riflemen iu great numbers aro
prepared to move at once from liamsev
and adjoining counties, and in a very fovv
days the work of exterminating tho trioux
Indians will begin. It is impossible to
learn the names of the killed whites.—
These extracts were taken from letters re
ceived by the Governor yesterday and
contain the latest reliable information we
have.
Alderman Daily of St. Paul, writes
from Fort Ridgely, 20th. lie mentions
the case of Dr. Humphrey and family,
living at the upper agency or Vellow Med
icine, who, fearing an outbreak, fled from
their home, but were pursued and overta
ken by Indians at a bouse into which they
all ran, except a little bov, who ran into
the bush and escaped. He saw the Indi-
ans shoot his father before lie got to the
door. They then attacked the house and
burned it to the ground with all that were
in it.
Several other letters received here yes
terday, show that an Indian war has been
inaugurated, which sinks into insignifi
cance all other Indian wars which havo
occurred in this country for thirty years.
Later At counts.
St. Paul, Aug, 23.
Parties from Minnesota Uiver reached
here last night, and state that scouts havo
estimated the number of whites already
killed at about live hundred. Their opin
ion is based on the number of bodies they
discovered along roads and trails, and on
the supposed massacre of all whites at the
agency.
It is believed that all the missionaries
have been killed. Ihe civilized Indians,
or those who Lave discarded the blankets
and leggins, are said to have exceeded
their savage brethren in atrocities.
Mr. Frenier, an interpreter who has
spent most of his life among the Indians,
volunteered to go alone to the Indian
country, trusting to his knowledge of the
Indians and a disguise to escape detection.
He dressed and painted in savage sty le
and was successful. After traveling 45
miles, to tlie upper agency, he arrived
there in the night. The place was liter
ally the habitation of death. No Indians
! were discovered. He visited all the hous
' e, saw the former occupants lying dead,
I some on the door steps, some msidj and
others scattered in vards. Ho went to the
house of lion J. R. Brown and recognized
I every member of bis family, eighteen in
number, all murdered.
Frienier also visited Beaver (.'reek,
where he found fifty famiii s had been
killed. He visited almost every bouse and
1 found and recognized bodies of nearly all
[ their former inhabitants. Among those
recognized at Agency were Mr. Givers and
family, Mrs. Galbraith and children, I>r.
Wakefield and fanrly, John Fadder’s fam
ily, John and Edward Wagnar, and two
Missionaries, liev. Hr. Williamson and
Itev. Mr. Roggs.
Ex Gov. Sibley, now marching to the
relief of Fort Rldgely, reports that the
Sioux band are united in carrying out a
| concerted and desperate scheme, and ho
' sa\s be will only be 100 happy to find that
the powerful upper bands of Vauktons and
other Missouri Indians are not united with
; them in their nefarious enterprise.
Mr. Frenier writing lo the Governor,
Aiig. 2 Ist, from Henderson, says; Ho
I left Fort Uidgely to day at ;> a. in.; when
be left there we r e 2,000 Indians around
the Fort, and the wooden buildings were
| burning. He thinks Indians of different
tubes are still joining the Sioux, and they
present a most formidable array.
