orm trades-unions. To be sure we do. We say to the Chinese, Stay at home. Don't come here by importation; come by immigration. We say to the crowding millions who try to swamp our trade, Stand aloof; we won't teach you. We say to the mills of Lowell, who have turned us out of doors, We'll starve you into submission. Well, it's a narrow contest. It's an unjust, it's a cruel, it's an avaricious method. So it is. Where did we learn it? Learned it of capital, learned it of our enemies. I of mischief better than any other place. As long as they work, they are not doing worse. I cannot attend to their houses. I say to him, It seems to me you do the same for your ox. That's another significant fact of our civilization. I go to Lowell, and I say to a young girl, wandering in the streets, How is this? Well, I worked here seven years, and I thought I would leave that mill and go to another; and the corporation won't give me my ticket. I have sued them in the Supreme Court, and

h the policeman's duty of blinding the eyes of the working-men, and striving to make them contented. The undertone of its preaching is the clink of the dollar. I have studied the history of the New England Church; I know what the world owes to Calvinism, to the pulpit; I have no wish to tear a leaf from its laurels; its history is written and sealed,--but God knows that, within the last thirty years, the ecclesiastical machinery of New England has manufactured hypocrisy just as really as Lowell manufactures cotton. The Pope himself, with all the ingenuity of a succession of the most astute intellects that Christendom has known, could not have devised machinery more exactly suited to crush free thought, and to make each man a sham. It was never more plainly shown than in an article published in one of the papers of the day, which arrogates to itself a semi-religious character,--the Boston Traveller of the 13th of April. It refers to Dr. Kirk's sermon on Infidel philanthropy. Wha

nt, a protest against the sombre theology of New England, where, a hundred years ago, the atmosphere was black with sermons, and where religious speculation beat uselessly against the narrowest limits. The first generation of Puritans — though Lowell does let Cromwell call them a small colony of pinched fanatics --included some men, indeed not a few, worthy to walk close to Roger Williams and Sir Harry Vane,--the two men deepest in thought and bravest in speech of all who spoke English in theienna asked, with careless indifference, Seward, who is he? But long before our ranks marched up State Street to the John Brown song, the banks of the Seine and of the Danube hailed the new life which had given us another and nobler Washington. Lowell foresaw him when, forty years ago, he sang of,--Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne; Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim unknown Standeth God, within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own.

row, nor his eyes glowing like anthracite coal; nor had he the lion roar of Mirabeau. But his presence filled the eye. A small O'Connell would hardly have been an O'Connell at all. These physical advantages are half the battle. I remember Russell Lowell telling us that Mr. Webster came home from Washington at the time the Whig party thought of dissolution a year or two before his death, and went down to Faneuil Hall to protest; drawing himself up to his loftiest proportion, his brow clothed with thunder, before the listening thousands, he said, Well, gentlemen, I am a Whig, a Massachusetts Whig, a Faneuil-hall Whig, a revolutionary Whig, a constitutional Whig. If you break the Whig party, sir, where am I to go? And says Lowell, We held our breath, thinking where he could go. If he had been five feet three, we should have said, Who cares where you go? So it was with O'Connell. There was something majestic in his presence before he spoke; and he added to it what Webster had not
