 DELIVERED AT THE

 ON 
 
 Wednesday Evening, October 18th, 1865, 
 
 IN THE PRESENCE OF SIX THOUSAND PERSONS. 
 
 Notwithstanding the terrible inclemency of the night — 
 the rain pouring down in torrents — the Fenian delegates 
 in session at Philadelphia are moving to and fro on their 
 important mission. You meet them everywhere, but they 
 are so reticent, so guarded in their conversation it is almost 
 impossible to know anything of their doings. The whole 
 matter is rapt in an impenetrable mystery, but the earnest- 
 ness of the men — their dignified manners — the fact that they 
 represent all parts of the country; that generals, editors, 
 
20 TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 bankers, lawyers and merchants are among them ; that they 
 pay their own expenses, represent 300,000 organized' men, all 
 tends to give importance to their action. They shrink from 
 publicity, ignore popular applause, and count no outside 
 assistance. 
 
 For the first time, the convention were moved into a 
 spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm. The President of the 
 Central Council appeared about seven o'clock and read the 
 Secretary of State's telegraphic dispatch to George Francis 
 Train denouncing the calumny of the English press. The 
 convention rose to their feet and made the welkin ring in 
 cheers for Mr. Seward, the President, for Mr. Train and 
 Ireland. The convention then at once adjourned and pro- 
 ceeded to the Academy of Music, to hear Mr. Train, and 
 headed by their band playing a national air, they marched 
 six hundred sfrong, tramp, tramp, tramp, through the rain, 
 with their Irish guards, dressed in the picturesque garb of . 
 the Irish army, carrying banners and the American flag. 
 The stage of the Academy of Music was crowded with 
 Fenian chiefs. All the Head Centres were there, but many 
 had to leave the stage and take their chances with the 
 crowded audience. 
 
 The distinguished lecturer was introduced by Lieutenant- 
 Colonel Roberts, of New York, President of the Central 
 Council, in the following words : — 
 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: — I have the honor to introduce 
 to you this evening the distinguished lecturer, who speaks 
 as a free, enlightened American citizen, in behalf of Irish 
 Republicanism. (Applause.) He is the embodiment, I trust 
 in Heaven, of the sentiment that animates the heart of every 
 true American, for liberty in every quarter of the globe. 
 Allow me to introduce to you George Francis Train. 
 
 The deafening and long-continued cheering with which the 
 orator of the evening was received having somewhat sub- 
 sided, he came forwarded in open dress — lavender kids, white

 stated he should take as his text the last slanders of the 
 London press. 
 
 ME. TRAIN'S SPEECH. 
 
 Americans! For Irishmen are as much Americans as 
 those who came to Jamestown or to Plymouth ten genera- 
 tions ago. [Loud cheers.] I would that I could pass those 
 cheers "along the line," and over the ocean to the men of 
 Ireland, who at this moment st^nd upon tiptoe to catch the 
 reverberations of just such cheers from this side of the 
 water. (Applause.) 
 
 They say that dear old Ireland has foes on every side, 
 Who envy her, her conquests, her race, her fame, her pride, 
 The Sassenach exulting vaunts all her strength is past, 
 Dreaming her intruding sons shall bite the dust at last. 
 But let them say whate'er they will, 
 
 Her banner bears no stain ; 
 The deeds old Ireland once has done, 
 She yet can do again. . 
 
 [Tremendeous excitement and applause^ 
 
 (Mr Train then read extracts from Mr. Seward's speech in 
 the Senate on General Shield's motives in 1851, about petition- 
 in^ England for the release of Smith O'Brien and John Mit- 
 chell and applied Mr. Seward's remarks to Ireland at the 
 present time. The speech was received with great excitement 
 and applause. We wish we had space to give it entire. Mr. 
 Train then rung the charges in the TYme's.last leader, calling 
 the Irish fools, tailors, ninnies.) ?hose are the words they 
 have called the northern armies these four years. That 
 reminds me of a little story that our friend here General 
 Sweeney, the one-armed Fenian hero-told me an hour ago. 
 (Cheers.) During the ' American Revolution the London 
 press used the same slang terms. The theatre was the place 
 
22 train's speech to. THE FENIANS. 
 
 for satire. The popular play was one ridiculing the Ameri- 
 can army as composed of vulgar tradesmen. One scene was 
 something like this : British officer — What is your name ? 
 John Smith. ' What is your business? Tailor. (Here is 
 where the laugh comes in.) Your name, sir ? Tom Jones. 
 Business? Printer. (Sneering laugh.) Yours? Cobbler. 
 (Loud laughter from the British audience.) Just at this 
 moment some one shouted, with a peculiar nasal voice, 
 Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! The audience were startled. 
 The voice, louder than before, yelled out. That is the best 
 thing yet. The entire British army whipped by a lot of 
 tailors, cobblers and printers. (Loud laughter and cheers.) 
 
 "A batch (says the telegraph) of demented printers." 
 Three eheers for the Irish press that can so startle a thou- 
 sand-year-old monarchy into hysterics. (Loud laughter.) 
 "A pugnacious tailor and mad hatter, a score of shopboys as 
 mad as the hatter, a few publicans and a distracted militia- 
 man." Hurrah for the tailor pugnacious that can shake an 
 empire out of its nightmare. Andrew Johnson forever. 
 (Loud cheers.) Hurrah for the Irish militiaman that braves 
 the trained cohorts of England ! Hurrah for the Irish shop- 
 boys that can make the old lady jump out of her bed in her 
 night cap and night robe to order the British army to arrest 
 them ! (Laughter and cheers.) Hurrah for the mad hatter 
 who valorously dares England to tear up Magna Charta, 
 throw the British Constitution into the Thames, and outrage 
 all the sacred rights of which Englishmen are so proud. 
 What a terrible crime (said the Times a little while ago) it is 
 to make military arrests, open mail bags and suppress news- 
 papers. Ah, Delan'e, we have you now on the gridiron. 
 (Loud laughter.) Sir John Falstaff, thank God! was not 
 born in Ireland. (Cheers and laughter.) 
 
 A wail from haunted battle-field ascends ! 
 
 As from their caverns hermit winds complain, 
 And history shudders, as she o'er them bends, - 
 
 To hear : " In vain ! In vain !" 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 23 
 
 Had I been dwarfed down in this rebellion to a pot-house 
 politician, a Chicago wigwam demagogue, a Baltimore Con- 
 vention shoddy contractor, a Cleveland caucus bunkumite, 
 (laughter), a political Major-General, or even a Senator from 
 Massachusetts, (loud laughter and cheers), what I say to-night 
 would have little effect ; but, inasmuch as I have preserved 
 my individuality while a hetacomb of ambitious men are 
 piled up along the roadside, and inasmuch as I have played 
 the patriot without demanding pay for the patriotism [cheers] 
 — defended the nation's integrity and honor without boring 
 for office or Government patronage — inasmuch as I have 
 stood by the rights of the white men, and for twenty years on 
 all occasions and everywhere defended Ireland and the Irish 
 (loud cheers, the audience rising and waving their hats for 
 several minutes) — I have certainly strong opinions on the 
 events of the age, that I will oblige mankind to respect. 
 (Applause, and bully for Train.) 
 
 I ask no favors of the public. I have no faith in popular 
 applause. I feel with Henry Clay, I would rather be right 
 than be President. (That's it.) My platform is easily com- 
 prehended. France for the French, Italy for the Italians, 
 Germany for the Germans, Asia, for the Asiatics, Africa for 
 the Africans, (laughter), America, for the Americans, (ap- 
 plause), and Ireland for the Irish, is God's law. But Hungary, 
 Poland, Yenice and Ireland, show that " man's inhumanity to 
 man makes countless thousands mourn." 
 
 The Green Flag of old Ireland, 
 
 Yes, yet thy folds shall shine 
 Across the land which gave thee birth, 
 
 As Freedom's blessed sign ! 
 What Irish heart would pour not 
 
 His life-blood in the dust, 
 To keep thee there for evermore 
 
 In tenderness and trust ? 
 
 In this connection, as pertinent to the remarks I am about 
 to make, allow me to read an extract or two from late Eng- 
 
24 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 lish newspapers, and I will make that the text of whatever in 
 a conversational way I may say to you this evening. I quote 
 from the speech of Digby Seymour, which you may all have 
 seen in the papers received by the last mail. A most insulting 
 speech by a bankrupt English barrister: — "Why, what is a 
 Fenian ? A discontented Irishman in search of a grievance* — 
 a tool for American insolence to menace the peace of Europe tvith 
 — a thing in the lash, with which Yankee buncombe threatens to 
 whip creation. (Cheers and laughter.) Was Phillips a Fe- 
 nian? No. 
 
 Allow me to quote from another authority to set the matter 
 right. Speaking of the English ministry and the wrongs of 
 Ireland, my authority says : " Misfortune teaches them no 
 mercy, or experience wisdom. Vindictive in prosperity, ser- 
 vile in defeat, timid in the field, vacillating in the cabinet, 
 suspicious among themselves, discontent among their fol- 
 lowers, piety active in subservience to their sycophantic 
 clergy, power passive but in subjugating the people, they 
 blunder on from one expedient to the other, refusing to let 
 go their hold on the throat of Ireland." Do you recognize 
 the language ? It was addressed by that great Irish orator 
 Phillips, to the corrupt ministry of England. (Long continued 
 applause.) 
 
 But to return to the speech of Digby Seymour, whose argu- 
 ment I take as that of the British government, in whose be- 
 half it was made. He says that Phillips was always loyal to 
 the throne and institutions of his country: — "Was Curran a 
 Fenian ? No ; the warmth of patriotism never consumed the 
 adamant of his loyalty." Now I will read from Curran in 
 exposition of his sentiments : — " How have the last few years 
 been employed by the English, but in destroying the land- 
 marks of rights and duties' and obligations ; in substituting 
 sounds in the place of sense ; in substituting a vile and cant- 
 ing Methodism in the place of social duty and practical honor; 
 in suffering virtue to degenerate into pleasure, and morality 
 into hypocrisy and affectation." 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 25 
 
 Do you recognize the language ? They are the stirring 
 words of Curran to the corrupt politicians of his day. Digby 
 Seymour is greatly mistaken in his authority. He then 
 speaks of O'Connell : " Was O'Connell a Fenian ? No. When 
 he spoke from the hall of Tara to ten thousand of his people, 
 he never uttered a disloyal thought against the British throne 
 or Constitution." If he did not, it was time he did. (Great 
 cheering.) 
 
 I now quote from the Saturday Review, of London: "Be- 
 sides these men and the tailor commanding, there are brick- 
 layers and watermen, clerks and printers in abundance, with 
 of course, one journalist to do the 'felony in the Irish People, 
 which is a feeble reproduction of the once famous Nation. A 
 stray militiaman or two may be noticed in the lists, but none 
 of the trans-atlantic branch of the society, which was supposed 
 to have attained the most formidable dimensions ; and in the 
 whole catalogue there is not one man of education and posi- 
 tion to play over again the mock-heroic part to which poor, 
 silly Smith O'Brien was prompted by his inordinate vanity." 
 
 I now quote from the London Times: "The priests de- 
 nounce them with the vigorous and telling rhetoric of their 
 order ; the farmers will have nothing to do with them ; news- 
 papers which might have been counted upon to defend Ire- 
 land against the Saxon, exhaust the vocabulary of contempt 
 against the too eager revolutionists. They are fools, ninnies, 
 mere tailors and shop-boys playing at treason." 
 
 Now, really, gentlemen, is it possible that fools, ninnies, 
 and shop-boys, can so frighten the great English nation, that 
 the whole British army should be called out, and the British 
 navy sent up the shores of Ireland ? (Laughter.) Mind you, 
 these are the stock terms that England always uses. Ameri- 
 can soldiers who are here to-night, they called you the same 
 names during our late civil war. They called you fools and 
 ninnies. And when they sneered at a tailor, they did it — 
 the London Times did it — well knowing the people of the 
 United States had elected a tailor to be the head of this great 
 
26 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 nation. And you may tell Andrew Johnson that this insult 
 was not intended for the Irish, but for him, because of his 
 being the chief of a free people. 
 
 Their impudence in pretending to represent Ireland is 
 unbearable ; and anything they may get at the next Assizes 
 will be richly deserved. But this is not all. Even the land 
 which is the birth-place of Fenianism repudiates them. Not 
 only is the American Government suspected of being guilty 
 of friendly intentions towards England, but leading men in 
 the States and important organs of opinion declare Fenianism 
 to be an imposture on their side of the ocean," etc. 
 
 I have other extracts here stating that Mr. Seward and 
 other members of our Government had informed the British 
 Secret Office of the Fenian movement. Now I know that 
 must be false, and for this reason. I remember (and I am 
 indebted to Mr. Gallien, of St. Louis, for reminding me of it) 
 that in 1851, when Shields came in with his resolution about 
 Smith O'Brien, Mr. Seward made a speech in reply to the 
 Irish delegation, and in that speech gave expression to these 
 sentiments : — 
 
 " The policy of England was the error of the age, and the 
 fault of her systems. This is her sufficient apology ; but on 
 an occasion like this, Ireland is entitled to a dispassionate 
 vindication, and is entitled to our respect and our sympathy. 
 That sympathy derives intenseness from the conceded virtues 
 and proverbial virtues of Irish people. The plains of Water- 
 loo, and heights of Quebec bear witness that they are brave 
 and skilful in war — like the Greeks, they have in their 
 decline enchanted the world with wit, and song, and eloquence. 
 Confiding and generous to 'a fault, while in their whole his- 
 tory does not occur one instance of the indulgence of unlawful 
 ambition. Is not, then, the tribute proposed by this resolution 
 due from the United States, on such an occasion, to such a 
 people ? I shall be answered — that question of clemency is 
 not for us but for Great Britain. This is true ; but men and 
 nations are swayed by perseverance. It may be said, that 
 
teain's speech to the FEJSTIANS. 27 
 
 while as individuals we may lawfully sympathize, we cannot 
 express these sympathies as a nation. This seems to me 
 equivalent to saying, that .we may indulge in unavailing 
 sentiment, but shall not exercise active benevolence. There 
 is only one code of morality for mankind, in all circumstances, 
 conditions, and relations, and in direct and comprehensive 
 obligations, bind them equally as subjects, citizens, and indi- 
 viduals, and sects ; but it is said that we may not lawfully 
 intervene in the affairs of another sovereign State." — This is 
 the point. What does Mr. Seward say on the subject ? — " So, 
 indeed, we may not, for judicious purposes, or even beneficent 
 ones by force, but under law of nations, as perfected .on 
 Christian principles. The several civilized States are re- 
 garded as constituting one great commonwealth, while no 
 one can rightfully encroach on absolute right of another, or 
 ■ interfere with the conduct of its domestic affairs." 
 
 He goes on to discuss that question, but I will pass on to 
 ' another paragraph : — " The people of Ireland are affiliated to 
 us by consanguinity, as we are to the people of Great Britain. 
 Surely the younger may, without offense, offer its mediation 
 upon a point of difference between the elder branches of a 
 common family. And what if Great Britain should take 
 offense ? We no longer stand in awe 6f her power, and she 
 knows that right well. If she should repulse a benevolent 
 and lawful suggestion, why then she would be in the wrong, 
 and we should be justified. But Great Britain will not take 
 offense," etc. He makes one more point. "Sir, while it is 
 thus certain that we may with confidence appeal to Great 
 Britain, the claim of Ireland upon us for intervention is un- 
 answerable." 
 
 If this were so then, I would like to know how it is to-day, 
 when Irish blood has flowed like water upon every battle- 
 field where Irishmen could fight for the Union, the Constitu- 
 tion, and the Government. 
 
 "But for our instruction and example during a period of 
 near seventy years, Smith O'Brien and his associates, would 
 
28 train's speech TO" THE FENIANS. 
 
 never have attempted to lift up from degradation his father- 
 land. We have maintained nearly all that Ireland has lost 
 by her exhaustion. Her poverty has added to our wealth ; 
 her growing weakness to our own increasing strength. Could 
 Ireland have retained or have taken back, in the hour of. 
 need, the political forces which she has given up to us, that 
 attempted revolution would have been successful." (Ap- 
 plause.) 
 
 I merely ask Mr. Seward to remember what he said in 
 1851. But knowing that the reports to which I have referred 
 were false, I yesterday telegraphed to Mr. Seward at Auburn, 
 at which place he speaks to-night ; and where he is now pro- 
 bably reiterating what he here says to me. In answer to 
 my despatch I received this telegram. I will read both 
 despatches ; — 
 
 Everett House, New York, October 15, 1865. 
 To the Hon. William H. Seward, Auburn, New York. 
 
 I address the Fenian Brotherhood Wednesday night, Phila- 
 delphia, Academy ; Irish Congress present. May I deny 
 English assertion that Irish arrests are made through your 
 advices ? 
 
 The following is Mr. Seward's reply, which was made 
 within half an hour after he received my message : — 
 
 Auburn, N. Y„ October 16, 1865. 
 To George F. Train, Everett House, New York : — 
 
 I cannot depart from my habit of leaving my vindication 
 against calumnies to an intelligent country, and a candid 
 
 world. 
 
 W. H. Seward. 
 
 - (The reading of the above reply created the wildest enthu- 
 siasm, rounds of cheers being repeatedly given by the au- 
 dience for William H. Seward, Andrew Johnson, and George 
 Francis Train.) 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 29 
 
 Now, there is the lie direct to the Morning Post, to the 
 London Times, to the Saturday Review, .and to the London 
 Telegraph. (Cheers.) You can have nothing more straight- 
 forward than that ; and I knew it must be so or I would not 
 have sent the dispatch. I believe that is the first official 
 denial of these unfounded reports that reach us by every mail 
 from across the water. 
 
 Now, it is about time for America to understand her posi- 
 tion. I am sick and tired of hearing Americans talking of 
 England as the mother-land. I thought it "had been explained 
 long ago that England was not our mother-land. (Applause.) 
 
 Three years ago I made a speech on this stage, and I re- 
 member having seen in the London press, in one day, eight 
 editorials upon it. (Laughter.) I rather think that what I 
 say now may reach them also. I want them to understand 
 that England is not our mother-land, but that the first man 
 who came to this country from Europe was Christopher Co- 
 lumbus. (Applause.) He was not an Englishman, but an 
 Italian. The second was Americus Vespucci. He was not 
 an Englishman, but a Portuguese. The third was Sebastian 
 Cabot, a. Spaniard. Then, who settled New York? The 
 Dutch. Was England their mother-land ? Who settled New 
 Jersey? The Swedes. Was England their mother-land? 
 Who settled Delaware ? The Danes. Who settled Baltimore 
 and Maryland? The Irish Catholics. Was England their 
 mother-land? Who settled South Carolina? The Hugue- 
 nots. Was England their mother-land? Who settled 
 Florida ? The Spanish. Louisiana ? The French. I have 
 looked at the record, and I tell you that to-day, from the 
 Lakes to the Gulf, and from Ocean to Ocean, we have not ten 
 per cent, of English blood in our veins. (Great applause.) 
 We have Irish blood in far greater proportion, the same that 
 has flowed forth like water upon every battle-field of the war 
 in behalf of our country. (Applause.) 
 
 You know that the wisdom of Solomon was never better 
 illustrated than in the case of the false mother, when, in order 
 
 ■ m ..' hfti " ' -» . '" " ■ n , 
 
30 TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 to determine the true parent, he ordered the child to be cut 
 in twain. We have found during this war who were our 
 friends and who were our enemies. England is not our 
 mother-land ; England is our grandmother-land. (Laughter.) 
 It is about time, as I told them in the halls of London, that 
 America should have a mother-land of her own. It occurs 
 to me that the place in which a man is born is his mother- 
 land. I happened to be born in Massachusetts, and I apolo- 
 gize to the audience for it. (Laughter.) Seven generations 
 were born under' the same roof, and therefore I can say 
 England is not my mother -land. 
 
 And allow me to say here, that if it should be said that I 
 am endeavoring to ally myself with every or any popular 
 sentiment that may arise, I would merely ask a reference to 
 the facts. I am usually against the tide. Anything can go 
 out with the stream — straws, lemon-peelings, stinking fish — it 
 is only a strong fish that goes against the tide. Just as in the 
 case of .mankind generally ; there are negative and positive 
 men in the world. The negative man goes down the stream 
 quietly, and with no effort on his part ; the positive man goes 
 up against the stream, gaining steadily, it may be only an 
 inch or two at a time ; but the people on the beach are watch- 
 ing him. 
 
 I stood alone in England for two years fighting for Ireland, 
 for America, and for the common rights of humanity. (Great 
 applause.) I told the committee who invited me here that I 
 was not a Fenian, but that I had been an Irishman, and a 
 better one than many of those whom you have elevated to 
 high positions, and who, when thus elevated, have turned 
 from you. I tell you, Irishmen, you are sneered at ; but you 
 are fools to be sneered at any longer. I say, that one-seven- 
 teenth of .this entire population is Celtic ; that you, Irishmen, 
 are American citizens, and it is your own fault, if, instead of 
 sending to Congress, miserable politicians, who will sell you 
 out, you do Dot send there next fall, one hundred Irishmen. 
 
 But to return to my text. I propose to commend to 
 English lips the same poisoned chalice which English cun- 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 31 
 
 ning had prepared for our own country. Lord John Russell 
 said (I am merely changing the word, not the sense) that 
 Ireland fought for Independence, England for Empire ; and, 
 during the late war, England applied the same declaration to 
 our own case in favor of the South. All that I ask now is, 
 that America shall acknowledge Ireland as a belligerent. 
 (Great cheering.) 
 
 The Green Flag of Old Ireland ! 
 
 A blessing on each fold, 
 More tender than the earth's green breast, 
 
 More bright than burnished gold ! 
 What Irish bosom thrills not 
 
 With patriotic dreams, 
 While here, in free America, 
 
 Thine Emerald beauty streams ! 
 
 Our Government cannot very well interfere, for we know 
 now the law of nations. England has taught us what to do 
 in such a case. (Laughter.) What our Government must do 
 is to remain strictly neutral (applause), while our Lairds, our 
 Lyndseys, and our Gregorys, fit out a hundred, and, if neces- 
 sary, a thousand Alabamas,. Sumters, and Shenandoahs, to 
 sweep British commerce from the face of the earth. (Applause.) 
 We must remain strictly neutral. We must put on board these 
 pirate ships any quantity of Enfield rifles, Colt's revolvers, 
 and munitions of war, with a view to running the blockade of 
 Belfast, of Dublin, or of Cork. (Great applause.) And if the 
 pickets already on the advance — "the fools and ninnies" — 
 can create such dismay as they have created in the great 
 English nation, what will be the condition of things when 
 O'Mahony moves with the entire army ! (Cheers.) 
 
 Ye sons of liberty, awake ! your hearths and altars are at stake ; 
 Arise, arise, for Ireland's sake, and strike for John O'Mahony, 
 Your Irish Eagle is not dead ; again his giant wings are spread, 
 To sweep upon old England's head, and on with John O'Mahony. 
 What soul but scorns the coward slave ? But liberty if for the brave. 
 Our cry be Ireland or the grave, and on with John O'Mahony. 
 
 (Great cheering, renewed again and again.) 
 
32 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 In the discussion halls of London I told Englishmen to 
 remember, when they sneered at Ireland, that they had no 
 soldiers of their own at all. And your great barristers — your 
 Grattans and Phillipses and O'Donnells and O'Connells — all 
 these men, I told them, had come from Ireland, and that their 
 great chieftains all over the world were Irishmen. I told 
 them that the great man in Spain to-day (Marshal O'Donnell, 
 the Premier) was an Irishman ? that the great man who won 
 the battle of Kinchello, MacNear, the Duke of Magenta' was 
 an Irishman ; that the leading man in the Austrian army to- 
 day, Field- Marshal Nugent, was an Irishman. I told them 
 they had produced only one great victory, and that was 
 achieved under an Irishman, the Duke of Wellington. [Was 
 he a renegade Irishman ? Yes.] The Irish do not live alone 
 in Ireland ; they are dispered from their homes. There are 
 two millions in England, five millions of Irish in America, 
 and five hundred thousand in Australia. Under marry an 
 English coat you will find an Irish heart. For the poor laws 
 under English rule brought on the famine, and starved or 
 drove them from their homes. Then America showed she 
 was Irish in heart by sending out ship loads of food. 
 
 When Englishmen asked why we did not put down the 
 war, he told them we were fighting Americans, not English- 
 men. He had been complimented about speaking good 
 English. In future we should speak the American language. 
 In Eussia the laws prescribe that the American language 
 shall be taught. This country taught the English how to 
 speak. 
 
 I told them that the leading men in Australia were Irish- 
 men; and you will find Murphy, and O'Shaughnessy, and 
 Duffy there to-day. I showed them that the famine in Ire- 
 land was produced by the poor laws and cruel treatment of 
 that unfortunate country by England, and that America 
 showed herself to be Irish in sending out ships of bread for 
 suffering Irishmen and their starving families. When they 
 asked me, " Why don't you put down the war in your own 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 33 
 
 country ? " I replied that it was simply because we were 
 fighting Americans ; that, had we been fighting Englishmen, 
 we would readily have done it. (Applause.) 
 
 When they complimented me on my using such good 
 English, I gave them to understand that, in my opinion at 
 least, the King's English in their hands was certainly not 
 more improved than in mine, and that our nation might ere 
 long adopt a distinctive language for its own' use. A special 
 ukase has been passed in Russia requiring the language of 
 that empire to be taught in ail the colonies within the juris- 
 diction of the Czar ; and, therefore, why should we not follow 
 the example thus set for our imitation ? 
 
 I told them in England that we had given them a grammar 
 by Lindley Murray, a dictionary and many other elementary 
 works on the language, and that they could not spell the com- 
 monest words. I asked them to spell "soldier," and they 
 commenced with a hess and a ho and went on with a hell and 
 a de and a hi and a he and a har. 
 
 (The lecturer, at this point, digressed from his subject to 
 notice the affected manners of certain classes in English 
 society. His peculiar representations were very amusing, 
 and we regret our inability to reproduce them.) 
 
 Why, my friends, you know there are forty different 
 dialects in as many counties in England. You go down into 
 Wales ; and there to pronounce the smallest word you are 
 obliged to open your mouth so very wide,, that the back of 
 your head resembles an island. Yet they talk of their ability 
 to speak English ! Why they know nothing about it, and 
 much less about our country. They think that that little 
 movement in Ireland is the Fenian movement. Why that is 
 but a rocket, a blue light; nothing is done yet. There is an 
 enormous power in secresy. No one knows your secret 
 movements. No one knows what the Fenians are doing. 
 There is a great power in keeping behind the scenes. 
 
 Allow me to say one word in regard to our debt. The 
 
 2 
 
34 train's speech to the FENIANS. 
 
 English have said, " Why, you are rolling up an immense 
 national debt." I say that that is so, and I ask them what 
 right have they to monopolize all the debt of the world. 
 Said I to them, " We will have a national debt one of these 
 days that will make you ashamed of yourselves." But it 
 requires only a retrospective glance at the debt of England to 
 establish in your minds the fact that she is the mere pasturage 
 of the aristocracy. It is terrible to see how they have fooled 
 the people. England has sent her George Thompsons all 
 over this country in order to emancipate our slaves. Then 
 it is our duty, as England has done so much for our blacks, 
 to do something for her whites. 
 
 Mind you, the idea has been that when Exeter Hall took 
 snuff we shoujd sneeze, and when the- London Times has laid 
 an egg we should cackle. What I propose now is that, as 
 England has emancipated four millions of our black slaves, 
 we should send out a few George Thompsons to lecture all 
 •over England, with a view to the emancipation of her white 
 slaves. There are six millions of able-bodied Englishmen 
 who are not even on a par with the negro slaves in the 
 Southern section of our country; for while our forefathers 
 admitted that a negro was three-fifths of a man, and thus far 
 provided that he should be represented, the poor white people 
 of England have no votes. England degrades them even 
 below the level of our lately enslaved negroes. 
 
 Who gets the thirty millions that are annually taken from 
 the Exchequer of England for the expenses of the army? 
 The people ? No ; it rests simply with the lords and titled 
 nobility. The people have nothing to do with it. You will 
 find that England is pastured off among thirty thousand 
 families. The whole country is in the hands of thirty thou- 
 sand families, and the entire national debt of England is in 
 the hands of three hundred thousand families. I sincerely 
 believe that as soon as the movement takes place in Ireland, 
 which has not yet commenced, the national debt of England 
 will fall like that [stamping his foot]. (Applause.) 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 35 
 
 They have upheld it by the most gigantic paper-money 
 system that the world has ever .seen ; and America for the 
 last twenty years has been giving her the means wherewith 
 to pay her national debt. Now let me tell you where the 
 trouble is. England has ruined all the nations of the world 
 — all that she could ruin being those who took her counsel. 
 Look at the sterile lands and deserted ports and empty ware- 
 houses of Portugal. England ruined Portugal by her miser- 
 able free-trade policy. Again, go to Turkey. Turkey has 
 been destroyed by England forcing her policy clown the 
 throats of that people. 
 
 You should always bear in mind that England's track 
 around the world is one track of blood. It is simply the 
 strong against the weak. Go where you will her record is 
 the same in the case of every nation she has had in her power. 
 Wherever England has coveted the division of a nation, she 
 has introduced among the people of that nation some bone of 
 contention. In Ireland, it has been religion — the Catholic 
 against the Protestant. In this country, the negro was to 
 break us up ; and now she has sent here her emissaries to 
 divide the Fenian Brotherhood by fomenting a Catholic and 
 Protestant war. Augustus Csesar prolonged a little while a 
 misspent life in a singular and most odious state ; but the 
 Koman Emperor only ruined virgins ; it was England that 
 destroyed nations. 
 
 I think it is time that the people of America should throw 
 aside the miserable toadyism of the last hundred years, and 
 be a nation of themselves, for we are now twenty-one years of 
 age. (Applause.) We have been treated badly by England. 
 You remember to have read of that little shivering band who 
 came over here that they might have freedom of speech. 
 The points of their career may be briefly summed. They cut 
 down the tree and then built a school-house. The little 
 colony grew. England taxed them. They paid the taxes. 
 Time passed on. More trees down — more school-houses-*a 
 
36 train's speech to THE FENIANS. 
 
 church. Then England taxed them more. They paid the 
 taxes. But England wanting more money to carry on the 
 war against France, imposed more taxes. They refused, and 
 asked for representation in the British Parliament. You 
 remember the rest. Out came the order — "We demand." 
 Then came the stamp act, then the port bill. Overboard 
 went the' tea and up went the flag. (Great applause.) 
 
 The Declaration of a nation's independence was read from 
 Independence Hall down here, by an Irishman. It was 
 received right from the hands of Jefferson by an Irishman, 
 and was first copied by an Irish editor. (Great applause.) 
 Let me hear no more about the Irish being here by suffer- 
 ance. They watched over the cradle of the country. They 
 have been with it in its youth, and stood by it in its manhood. 
 You will find that the very Capitol in which we hold our 
 Congress, was presented to Washington by a Carroll, a 
 splendid specimen of a noble Irishman. (Applause.) 
 
 All through our early history, it will be found that the 
 Irish were conspicuous. It was a newly arrived major-general 
 that crossed the border, and marched on Quebec, and fell 
 there — Major-General Montgomery. Sullivan, at Bunker Hill r 
 was an Irishman. Mad. Anthony Wayne, of Stony Point, 
 was an Irishman. But thus in our infancy, and while we 
 were yet a child in the cradle, we kicked England out of the 
 house. Time passed on ; our country increased t in extent 
 and population, and then England, in order to carry on a 
 war with Bonaparte, took our sailors from our ships, you 
 remember. 
 
 We told her that the flag covered the American citizen on 
 the water as well as on the land. Again we fought, and again 
 we kicked her about. Time passed on ; and then she found 
 she could not fight us with armies, for England is not a fight- 
 ing nation — she has always fought with the hired soldiery, 
 with Hessians in our Eevolution, and with Swiss soldiers in 
 the Crimea (and I had occasion to tell her people that so 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH 'TO THE FENIANS. 37 
 
 many quarts of beer and so many pounds of mutton-chop 
 would fight). (Laughter and applause.) When she found 
 that she could not fight us openly, she sent her emissaries to 
 stir up feelings of sectional strife and bigotry, and finally 
 kindled the embers of political disaffection into a blaze .of 
 civil war. 
 
 (At this point the speaker again alluded to the ignorance of 
 Englishmen concerning the current events of the day in this 
 country, and illustrated his meaning by personal anecdotes 
 which repeatedly brought down the house in rounds of 
 laughter and applause. The first illustration was that of a 
 cockney Englishman, who, after many hums and haws, in- 
 quired of the speaker, whether he was from Boston, and a 
 reply being given in the affirmative, expressed his desire to 
 know whether Boston was not one of the slave States. To 
 this the speaker replied, by good-naturedly assuring his in- 
 terrogator that Boston was noted for its abolition sentiments, 
 and that Mr. Dred Scott was mayor of that city. Another 
 inquisitive Englishman, desirous of stating the full particulars 
 concerning the Professor Webster murder case, which oc- 
 curred some years ago in Boston, informed Mr. Train that 
 he had just noticed by the last mail, that the Hon. Daniel 
 Webster, in a fit of aberration of mind, while in the prepara- 
 tion of his great dictionary, had murdered the Eev. Theodore 
 Parker. On another occasion, during the visit of Grantley 
 Berkeley to this country, while looking from the window of 
 the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, upon a fine sleighing 
 prospect (the season being winter), that gentleman expressed 
 to Mr. Train a desire to take a sleigh ride, who immediately 
 ordered John to put a couple of buffaloes in the steady and 
 take Mr. Berkeley out. " Oh, no !" interrupted the frightened 
 gentleman, "it does not make any difference to me, but I 
 would much prefer if you would use horses." 
 
 The lecturer then proceeded, referring to the higher classes 
 of England as follows : — 
 
3-8 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 You know that in England, there is the army, the navy, 
 and the church. They send the elder sons of the nobility to 
 govern India, Australia, Nova Scotia, etc. ; and the younger 
 sons must be provided for, and are accordingly sent to col- 
 lege and educated all alike. Well, then it is a toss-up for 
 which shall go in the army, which shall go in the navy, and 
 which shall enter the church. Nine times out of ten, the one 
 naturally fitted for the church goes to the army, while the 
 military man goes to the church. 
 
 The consequences are, that they have got a rotten army 
 and a rotten navy. The Bank of England is rotten to the 
 core. I do not believe that to-day Rothschild can pay a 
 shilling to the pound. And I sincerely believe, that two- 
 thirds of those rotten old documents that have been handed 
 down for three or four hundred years are forgeries, if we may 
 judge, mind you, by what we have seen. (Applause.) 
 
 Look at Canada ! No one can excite me more effectually 
 than by saying that Americans want to annex Canada. An 
 American coming from Canada to his own country, feels as if 
 he had emerged from the darkness of night into the light of 
 day. In America, we have labor-saving machines. We take 
 a tree ; staves cut, hoops on, and a barrel is' made, and for 
 three, four, or five cents it may be purchased. In Canada 
 they cannot make it at all. 
 
 Asa fair illustration of the two people, take the case of an 
 American and a Canadian standing upon the bank of a canal. 
 Says the Canadian to the American, "You can't jump across." 
 "No, but I can throw you across." "I'll bet you can't," 
 says the Canadian ; " put up your money." The money is 
 wagered ; and the American takes the Canadian brother by 
 the collar and the slack of his nether garments, and throws 
 him half way across — splash into the water. He picks himself 
 up, wades ashore and claims the money as having won the 
 bet. " No, you've not won," says the American, " I missed 
 the first time; but I'll throw you all day but I'll do it." 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 39 
 
 No, we want nothing to do with Canada. There are a great 
 many Irishmen in Canada whom we stand by ; but we do not 
 want to annex that God-forsaken land. Have you ever seen 
 an old water-logged ship coming into port from a foreign 
 country? That is England. When she comes mto port, 
 notice the long sea-grass, the barnacles hanging to her sides- 
 India, Nova Scotia,- Canada, Van Diemen's Land-all hanging 
 to the old rotten hull, and gradually bearing her down to the 
 
 bottom. 
 
 What Canada should do, and had she any independence at 
 all she would, would be to combine Prince Edward's Island, 
 Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Canada into a confederation 
 for an independent nation, under the idea of "Canada for 
 the Canadians." I have been in Australia, .and I sincerely 
 believe that Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand, South Aus- 
 tralia, and Victoria, will again hoist the "five stars" that I 
 saw floating in 1852, during that little revolution that was 
 gotten up there. (Applause.) _ 
 
 You of course, understand that these remarks are strictly 
 neutral. (Laughter.). England is now blackguarding us 
 through the press, and I will tell you, Mr. Eoberts, what you 
 might do at this time. Go over and give $60,000 to Delaney, 
 of the London Times. Then buy up Simpson, of the London 
 Post and Beresford Hope, of the Saturday Revieiv. 
 
 The way to get hold of that people is to give them a few 
 bonds, for as we have seen in the case of the distribution of 
 the Confederate bonds, there can be no appeal to their hearts 
 which will exert a greater influence than that which is made 
 through the medium of their pockets. I repeat, wherever 
 we turn in the history of nations, we find that England has 
 committed some gigantic crime. 
 
 The Detroit Commercial Convention was a damaging dis- 
 grace to America-got up by Canadians, managed by Blue 
 Noses, and steered by the English. The Hon. Joseph Howe, 
 of Nova 'Scotia, pulled the wires. Does America know that 
 
40 TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 he was one of our bitterest opponents in this war ? I heard 
 him deliver an anti- American speech in the Forum Discus- 
 sion Hall, London, where he grossly insulted John G. Winter, 
 of Columbus, Georgia, and when I rose to reply he bolted 
 from the room. I wish I had been at Detroit to reply to 
 him, you would only have found a grease spot on the floor. 
 (Laughter.) Mr. Seward made 'the only point in sending 
 Potter there to snub the Convention, and he did it well. 
 Canada has been howling ever since. 
 
 Mr. Train again ridiculed the idea of Americans wishing 
 Canada. "Why, I would not recommend my Fenian friends 
 around me to think for a moment of establishing an Irish 
 republic there. God has blasted the energies of that people. 
 Ten years in Scheiferderher's Hydropathic Institute would 
 not wash the corruption, indolence and imbecility out of that 
 miserable country. (Loud laughter.) That illustrates the 
 stupidity of the Canadians. So long as they can draw 
 money out of England they will keep on sucking. • The 
 greatest, swindle of any was the twenty million sterling 
 robbed from England in building the Grand Trunk Railway. 
 That was the last sugar-tit. (Laughter.) The capital is sunk, 
 the railroad wants repairing, the rails are worn out, the rolling 
 stock used up, and the receipts not enough to pay ordinary 
 expenses. The English party who are rolling over the land 
 and condescend to allow the American people to toady to 
 them, as we always do, are trying to galvanize the Grand 
 Trunk into life again, by bridging Niagara and connecting it 
 with the Atlantic and Great Western. Old Punch says: 
 Never chain a live man to a corpse. Those Englishmen 
 who are being banqueted everywhere, are all gentlemen, and 
 have been friends of ours, so I will not fire on them just yet, 
 on account of their having been invited and are the guests of 
 an Irish American, James McHenry, who was joint partner 
 with me in giving you Irish Pennsylvanians the Atlantic 
 and Great Western Eailway. 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 41 
 
 No,, we don't want and won't have Canada. France in- 
 tends recapturing Quebec. Napoleon bides his time. The 
 Fenian Brotherhood in Canada is organized in every town, 
 but the organization is different from the American. 
 
 England nurses her shiftless children by committing crimes 
 on other nationalities. A young law student reminded me 
 last night of the trial of Warren Hastings, the most stupen- 
 dous legal rnpckery ever imposed upon a people, the grandest 
 judicial farce ever enacted. (Applause.) The agent of the 
 British East India Company tried for that which he did at 
 their order. It was England arraigned at the bar, for the 
 East India Company was England. It was England against 
 whom the Irishmen, Burke and Sheridan, thundered, and 
 England was convicted and bearded with eternal infamy, 
 though the nominal offender escaped. ("That's so," and 
 " Shame on England.") 
 
 Her morning drum beat, to use a Websterian ; as it circles 
 the earth, passes over a track of infamy, of outrage, of carnage 
 and of blood. The London Times, speaking of Ireland, says 
 that "man is a drug, and population a nuisance." 
 
 Like Banquo's ghost see Emmet's spirit rise 
 
 And shake its gory locks at her, while she 
 "Avaunt ! Avaunt !" like Macbeth vainly cries, 
 
 And would but cannot flee. 
 
 Keturning from Moscow and St. Petersburg I passed 
 through Sweden and Norway, and here I listened to the tales 
 of the departed. I seemed to feel the presence of the Mael- 
 strom. What causes that terrible pool ? Where does the 
 water drop to? Is there another world below? I have 
 seen birds and animals that have been forced over the falls 
 at Niagara by the rushing of the waters ; but how feeble is 
 that compared to the power that draws in both the little and 
 the great? Whales from afar off are spirited into the. cave 
 
42 teain's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 and it is fatal to any ship that wanders too close to its whirl- 
 ing eddies. I should like to take a look into that subterra- 
 nean cavern. "What skeletons ! What history ! Has Lord 
 Palmerston organized a whirlpool for the Irish members of 
 Parliament ? Humanity is weak. See how the men of the 
 day are drawn into the stream. The whirlpool is now 
 almost as large as that of Norway, and the skeletons of good 
 men and honest men are packed along the cavern almost as 
 thick as in the city of the dead, or the field of a hundred 9 
 battles. The sexagenarians', septugenarians and octogenari- 
 ans, comprising the English minority, cannot much longer 
 fool the English people and Irish laborer by making England 
 a pastor age and Ireland a desert for the aristocracy (of Sir 
 John Yiiliers Shelly's stamp) by taxing the people who they 
 always call the "mob." (Applause.) 
 
 HYPOCEISY IS HER GREAT RULE OF 
 DIPLOMACY. 
 
 John Stuart Mill says, " an Englishman never feels safe un- 
 less he is living under the shadow of some legal fiction, on 
 agreement to say one thing and mean another.'^ 
 
 Lying is her chief amusement, especially when she remains 
 neutral. [Laughter.] Jefferson once said that, "he never 
 found any general rule for foretelling what England would 
 do, but that of examining what she ought not to do." 
 
 The policy of England, said Gladstone (before he wished 
 his name removed from the Confederate loan list,) is, " trust 
 in the people tempered only by prudence, the policy of 
 England toward Ireland, is distrust of the people tempered 
 only by fear." 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 43 
 
 Ireland pensively mourns her lost children who're gone, 
 
 Scattered broadcast on every shore ; 
 Some sleep in the deep, 'ueath the wild waves alone, 
 
 Bat these live to right her once more. 
 May Heaven pull down the cursed Saxon crown, 
 
 That so long hath a gloom o'er her cast ; 
 And grant you once more a chance, on that shore, 
 
 To take sweet revenge for the past. 
 
 England has copied, on a grand scale, the loathsome expe- 
 dient of Augustus Caesar for prolonging a worthless life. But 
 the Eoman Emperor only ruined virgins, England destroys 
 nations. (Applause.) Euskin calls England " a money -making 
 mob," and accuses the English nation of " despising literature, 
 despising science, despising art, despising nature, despising 
 compassion, and concentrating its soul on pence." (Laughter.) 
 
 Fenianism is not understood. It means liberty or death. 
 (Cheers.) The Order is older than the Eoman. Here are its 
 Ten Commandments, taken from the Irish record before 
 Christendom: " Every soldier was required to swear that, 
 without regard to her fortune, he would choose a wife for her 
 virtue, her courtesy and her good manners ; that he would 
 never offer violence to a woman ; that as- far as he could he 
 would relieve the poor, and that he would not refuse to fight 
 nine men of any other nation. No person cpuld be received 
 into the service unless his father and mother and all his rela- 
 tives gave security that none of them should avenge his death 
 upon the person who might slay him, but that they would 
 leave the matter to his fellow-soldiers. The youth himself 
 must be well acquainted with the twelve books of poetry, and 
 be able to compose verses. He must be a perfect master of. 
 defense ; to prove this, he was placed in a field of sedge reach- 
 ing up to his knees, having in his hands a target and a hazel 
 stick as long as a man's arm. Nine experienced soldiers, 
 from a distance of nine ridges of land, were to hurl their 
 spears at him at once ; if he was unhurt, he was admitted, but 
 if wounded he was sent off with a reproach. He must also 
 
44 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 run well and defend himself when in fight ; to try his activity- 
 he was made to run through a wood, having a start of a tree's 
 breadth, the whole of the Fenians pursuing him ; if he were 
 overtaken op wounded in the wood he was refused, as too 
 sluggish and unskillful to fight with honor among such valiant 
 troops. Also, he must have a strong arm and be able to hold 
 his weapon steadily. Also, when he . ran through a wood in 
 chase his hair should not come untied ; if it did he was reject- 
 ed. He must be so swift and light of foot as not to break a 
 rotten stick by standing upon it ; able also to leap over a tree 
 as high as his forehead, and to stoop under a tree that was 
 lower than his knees. Without stooping or lessening his 
 speed, he must be able to draw a thorn out of his foot. Finally, 
 he must take an oath of fidelity to Ireland, and swear to die 
 for his wife, his child, his home, his country and his God. 
 (Loud cheers.) That is Fenianism. 
 
 Oh, let us pray to God, boys, 
 
 To grant the day, to grant the day, 
 You may press your native sod, boys, 
 
 In linked array, in linked array ! 
 Let us give you arms and ships, boys, 
 
 You ask no more, you ask no more, 
 And Ireland's long eclipse, boys, 
 
 Will soon be o'er, will soon be o'er. 
 
 This country must have American ideas, manufactures, 
 language, and a mother country of our own, says Andrew 
 Johnson. (Loud cheers.) 
 
 England takes away our cotton, sends it across the seas to 
 her ports, transports it thirty miles to be manufactured, sends 
 it back in goods to clothe the Fenian Brotherhood. [Shame 
 on America for allowing it.] When England wants corn 
 make her pay gold for it. Make laws that no cotton shall go 
 to her ; send it out West to be worked up. That will touch 
 her. She has no heart or soul ; you can only affect her 
 through her belly or her pocket. [Loud laughter, and that's 
 so.] In the Irish famine she repealed the duties on grain, 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 45 
 
 and the idiots here called it free trade. He was not for pro- 
 tection, he was for prohibition. He would not allow any 
 manufactured goods to be imported from England. Call 
 back our 1 ambassadors from abroad, those who are listening 
 to sneers upon the country. They are not wanted there to 
 toady to the British aristocracy. Charles Francis Adams is 
 not an American. [That's so.] He referred to Bulwer's 
 dispatch to Palmerston, in 1851, as follows : 
 
 "The country is paralyzed by parties that do not think 
 there is any possibility of their uniting on any great internal 
 or external object. This of course paralyzes the Federal 
 power, if power it can be called, and leave you at liberty to 
 pursue to their consequences the project and advantages 
 which your lordship has conceded from our Central Ameri- 
 can relations." 
 
 That was written from Washington by an English Embas- 
 sador, who was shortly afterward recalled for it. 
 
 The same letter said: "If the naturalized Irish ever adapt 
 an American platform, I cannot conceal from myself the 
 serious manner in which our American interests will be 
 jeopardized." This tells the story. This Fenian movement 
 is that Irish American, platform referred to. 
 
 By this association you can be powerful. Pass resolutions 
 iike' the following : 
 
 1. Resolved, That the word English be unanimously 
 dropped, and that the words American language be used in 
 the future. (Loud cheers.) 
 
 2. Resolved, As America is twenty-one years of age, it is 
 time to establish a motherland of her own. (Applause.) 
 
 3. Resolved, That the one hundred millions of dollars due 
 for destroying our commerce shall be paid forthwith, or 
 England must take the consequences of American neutrality. 
 (Cheers and laughter.) 
 
 4. Resolved, That France is the friend of Ireland. Louis 
 Napoleon is not French. Every fifteen or twenty years there 
 
46 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 is a revolution. They come regularly, and one will be along 
 within two years. 
 
 In regard to the last resolution, the speaker argued that 
 Louis Napoleon was not France, and that, ere long, in accord- 
 ance with the decrees of a special fate which seems to have 
 manifested itself in regard to every member of the Bonaparte 
 family, he would cease to reign. 
 
 The question upon each of the above resolutions was taken 
 as they were read, the vote being a unanimous "aye," and 
 the result greeted with hearty cheers. 
 
 Mr. Train resumed : You have sounded the tocsin of revo- 
 lution, and soon an outbreaking will spread throughout 
 Europe. The two Napoleons had endeavored to draw the 
 Popes from Rome. In answer to the first, the ' Pope had 
 called him simply " Comedian" and " Tragedian," in reply to 
 his passionate outbursts. Responding to the latter, the last 
 Pope had called about him representatives from all the world 
 of three hundred millions of Catholics. The revolutions 
 come as regularly as clock work; one will come in 1867. 
 " How are you, Mexico ?" 
 
 He would say a few words about that. Mexico would 
 prove the Moscow of Napoleon III. Napoleon will fall, and 
 the republic will again come up in 1867. Have you ever 
 observed the singular addition of figures foretelling the' fall 
 of a French dynasty? Here they are: 1794 — Fall of the 
 monarchy. 1815— Fall of Napoleon. 1830— Fall of the 
 Elder Bourbon dynasty. 1842 — Death of Duke of Orleans 
 by fall from his horse, and hastening the revolution of '48. 
 1867— You can draw your own inference — Napoleon's dy- 
 nasty will disappear that year. [Loud cheers.] The notice 
 starts from Ireland, and will spread throughout Germany 
 and France in two years. 
 
 England received an attack of apoplexy in the Crimean 
 war. The second attack was that of American neutrality. 
 The third will be her death through the Fenians. [Cheers.] 
 
 England is simply an attache of France ; she drives the 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 47 
 
 coach, and Napoleon rides inside. He uses her as a eatspaw 
 to draw the chestnuts out of the fire. She has obeyed all his 
 plans and designs. She fought the Eussians and the Aus- 
 trians with France, as he wished. And now the head of the 
 Fenians is in the Tuilleries, planning for the future. [Cheers.] 
 It is with you, Irishmen, to follow out these promptings. 
 
 Some of your people may try to sell you out with British 
 gold. Thomas D'Arcey McGee [loud hisses] cannot be an 
 Irishman. A cuckoo must have laid him in the eagle's nest. 
 [Laughter and "that's so."] 
 
 Everything charmed my senses in the beautiful Island of 
 Joan. The land clove and the nutmeg, the tyre and the cas- 
 sowary, and sugar and coffee, and that most luscious of fruits, 
 the nangostine. But in this wonderful Garden of Eden" there 
 is a tree of good and evil. Have you heard of the Upas 
 tree ? It is no fable. Be careful how you approach it. The 
 poison reaches where the winds blow ; nor tree, nor flower, 
 nor shrub can live within its influence. Birds drop dead as 
 they come within the circfe, and animals and creeping things 
 are scattered among the dead. Each year the circle widens. 
 The air is heavy. What is the terrible secret ? Inquire, 
 and death ensues. There is a Upas tree in England. What 
 magic influence has paralyzed the Irish members of Parlia- 
 ment ? What is the matter with Mayune ? Has The Cork 
 Examiner come too near, and has the Dublin paper been ex- 
 ploring in that vicinity? [Laughter.] Yes, your Upas is 
 the treasury. The sovereign fever freezes the blood. It 
 destroys morality, and truth meeteth it but to die. Like the 
 down on the peach, like the virtue of a woman, once lost 
 they never return again. So, once under the branches of the 
 Palmerston Upas tree, the soul of honor deadens, and men 
 become the miserable creeping things of tyranny and shame. 
 [Applause, and cries of " Shame !"] 
 
 Your ancestors, so glorious in the eye of the world ; so 
 bountiful and magnificent to their country; so sparing, so 
 modest, so self-denying to themselves — what resemblance can 
 
48 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 we find, in the present generation (of Englishmen), to these 
 great men? I 
 
 Do yon recognize the language ? 
 
 It is the scorching sarcasm of Demosthenes, when rousing 
 up the Athenians. [Cheers.] 
 
 You can say to the rulers of Ireland : You lavish the pub- 
 lic money in scandalous and obscene uses ; you suffer your 
 allies to perish in time of peace, whom you preserved in time 
 of war ; and your mercenary court, and servile resignation 
 to the will and pleasure of designing, insidious ministers, 
 abet, encourage, and strengthen the most dangerous and 
 formidable of your enemies. [Shame.] 
 
 Do you recognize the language ? Demosthenes is exciting 
 the people against Philip. 
 
 Cast your eye upon the magistrate (Lord Palmerston) 
 under whose ministry you boast these precious improvements 
 (in Ireland.) Behold him raised all at once from poverty to 
 opulence ; from the lowest obscurity to the highest' honors. 
 Look at his followers. Have not some of these upstarts built 
 private houses and seats vieing with the most sumptuous of 
 public palaces? And how have their fortunes and their 
 power increased but as Ireland has been ruined and impover- 
 ished. (That's so.) 
 
 Do you recognize the language ? 
 
 The orator was in Athens, and Phillip was' the mark he 
 fired at. 
 
 Why all this — Demosthenes is always eloquent. 
 
 The servant is now become the master. The magistrate 
 was then subservient to the people ; punishments and rewards 
 were properties of the people;, all honors, dignities and pre- 
 ferment were disposed by the voice and favor of the people ; 
 but the magistrate has now usurped the rights of the people, 
 and exercises an abiding authority over his natural master. 
 (Applause.) 
 
 Do you recognize the language ? 
 
train's speech to the FEXL\X|. 49 
 
 Athens groaned under the biting rebukes of the eloquent 
 Athenian, as Ireland is groaning now under English tyranny. 
 
 But I have forgotten my resolutions. (Laughter.) Here 
 are the others. 
 
 5. Resolved, That Ireland is a belligerent. That America 
 (as England did in our civil war) should remain strictly neu- 
 tral, while our merchants and bankers, our Lairds and Lind- 
 says, fit out one hundred Sumters, Alabamas and Shenandoahs 
 to sweep the commerce of England fr,om the ocean, as England 
 has done American commerce. 
 
 6. And last, Resolved, That as England has shown neither 
 soul, or heart, or humanity in our rebellion, and can only be 
 reached through the belly and pocket, that we, the. Fenian 
 Brotherhood and Sisterhood, will never use any article of 
 English manufacture. We do not want protection, but pro- 
 hibition. 
 
 The two preceding resolutions were adopted with loud 
 exclamations of delight. (The audience again rising and 
 making the building shake with their cheers.) 
 
 Andrew Jackson said the Union must and shall be pre- 
 served. Andrew Johnson says the Union must and shall be 
 restored. 
 
 Wendell Phillips said we must have universal suffrage, or 
 repudiation of the national debt. Afterward he repudiated 
 his words though one thousand persons heard him. He made 
 an assertion and backed down. . I will make one which I will 
 hold fast to. Stop talking negro suffrage or the Northern 
 Democratic vote will unite with the Southern vote and re- 
 pudiate. 
 
 BREAKERS AHEAD— TRAIN ON FINANCE. 
 
 Formerly three hundred millions of currency inflated 
 markets, and everything went kiting. Latterly three thousand 
 
50 TEATN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 millions of currency, and everything stagnates ! What means 
 this apathy? Our large merchants are all short. There 
 were never so many borrowers. Our large bankers appear 
 to be flush — money never was so plenty. But long loans 
 don't take. Everybody loans on call ; hence money is used 
 from hand to mouth. Nobody has confidence. No foundries 
 building — no ships on the stocks — no factories going up — no 
 new dwellings of consequence — no industrial enterprises 
 under way — and yet three thousand millions of currency. 
 What does it mean ? The negro suffrage party want to add 
 seven hundred thousand votes to the suffrage. Will these 
 new votes, added to the white Southern vote, willingly be 
 thrown for taxation ? (No.) Will they pay Northern debt 
 taxation without a murmur when they have lost almost 
 everything? Again, will the working men's' vote,' say one 
 million four hundred thousand, out of the one million eight 
 hundred thousand, go for taxation when they do not hold 
 any of the bonds ? (No, unless they stop Southern niggers.) 
 Are these questions by germinating in the public mind 
 occasioning this strange apathy ? Again, our bonds abroad 
 are at 70. They may go higher. Already $400,000,000 are 
 held in Europe — one-seventh the whole — interest payable in 
 gold. Suppose they continue buying as evidently, if paid, it 
 is the best investment in the world. Suppose they buy — 
 $1,000,000,000,— six per cent, is $60,000,000 in gold. Shall 
 we dig out that much ? Suppose free trade becomes popular, 
 repudiation is certain. It may be this that causes the strange 
 apathy. If we are solvent, England buys our bonds, and we 
 import $150,000,000 more than we export. Gold will go to 
 200 before Congress adjourns. Would money be long with 
 the banker if they were obliged to redeem anything ? That 
 is the question. This is my conviction which I will not 
 repudiate. The loyal leaguers must still be blackguarding 
 the South and talking negro suffrage, or three millions of 
 votes will be thrown' in 1868 to wipe out the debt. (Loud 
 applause.) 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 51 
 
 Mind what I say— I believe in keeping sacred the national 
 honor. But I think it is necessary to,, do something to 
 frighten Europe from buying our bonds and the fanatics 
 from debasing our franchise. I am willing that education 
 should be the test. The debt is only safe by keeping it at 
 home. Something must be done for the South before they 
 will vote to be taxed for their destruction. 
 
 The Evening Post, an English journal, without one particle 
 of American feeling in its composition, says under 
 
 A LITTLE MORE NONSENSE. 
 
 A morning journal reports that the rise in the price of 
 printing paper is disturbing the minds of the .people in those 
 official bureaus at Washington where it is used and supplied ; 
 and it is asserted that " the Treasury authorities are consider- 
 ing a project of building a Government paper mill at Great 
 Falls on the Potomac." Does it not occur to these people that 
 a cheaper and quicker way is to take the duty off foreign 
 paper ? That will make paper cheap, not merely to the Gov- 
 ernment but to the people. 
 
 Here is toadyism that will destroy this nation. England 
 praised Thanatropsis a generation or two ago, and Bryant 
 has sworn by English Exeter Hall and English Free Trade 
 Hall ever since. Just think for a moment of an American 
 newspaper advising the Government to have the notes on 
 which their bonds are printed, manufactured in England. 
 [Shame.] 
 
 That is toadyism with a vengeance. French mission on the 
 brain has destroyed the independence of the New York press. 
 [Laughter.] 
 
52 teain's speech to the fenians. 
 
 THE DAILY NEWS. 
 
 The Daily Neivs is the only journal there that has preached 
 the Sermon on the Mount. Although at one time I belonged 
 to the church militant and opposed The News' policy, I now 
 am a member of the church triumphant. The Neivs, by 
 helping me to break up Chicago, did more- to elect Johnson 
 than all the Abolition papers in the country, and was the first, 
 to publish all your Fenian meetings. [Loud cheers.] The 
 Fenian Brotherhood will never buy The World; they have 
 voted down all articles of English manufacture. [Laughter.] 
 
 The whole Atlantic Ocean is paved with the skulls of ne- 
 groes whom Englishmen threw overboard trying to introduce 
 slavery into our country. [That's so.] He was opposed to 
 negro suffrage. He was for the rights of the white man, not 
 the black man. England has four hundred million dollars 
 of our bonds, for which in twelve years we must pay three 
 times that amount. . We must stop this going abroad or we 
 will be ruined. We had better attend to this matter and let 
 the negroes alone. We must respect the rights of the white 
 man. We have been talking negro ever since I was born. 
 By killing slavery they have destroyed the slave. Eead my 
 discussion with Cassius M. Clay three years ago, and the Lon- 
 don Times' 1 editorial thereon. I told them that I did not wish 
 to see the poor negro destroyed. 
 
 ONE MORE LIE NAILED. 
 
 The London Morning Post, Lord Palmerston's organ, says : 
 
 " The designs of the conspirators," as stated by the counsel 
 
 for the crown, "partook of the character of socialism in the 
 
TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 53 
 
 most vicious and dangerous shape. The lower classes were 
 led to expect a redistribution of the property of the country, 
 and that any man who possessed more property than another 
 had an advantage over his' fellows, which should not be per- 
 mitted. The operations of this revolution were to commence 
 by the indiscriminate massacre and assassination of all those 
 above the lower classes, including the Roman Catholic clergy- 
 men, against whom their animosity is particularly directed 
 for their opposition to the views of the brotherhood." Such 
 was the end and object of this so-called national movement in 
 Ireland, which we are assured by Mr. Barry will be proved 
 on the trial to have been " manifested in writings, both public 
 and private," which will be brought home to the accused. 
 
 I pronounce that a malicious lie. [Cheers.] The Irish are 
 not assassins. The Irish did not build pirate ships to run the 
 blockade. The Irish did not call American soldiers fools, 
 ninnies and tailors. The Irish did not bombard Copenhagen, 
 and then some generations later let their Prince Regent marry 
 a Danish Princess, and then sell out the. Danes to the highest 
 bidder, as England did in the Schleswig Holstein affair. 
 [Applan.se.] Did the Prince of Wales find something sound 
 at last in Denmark ? Hamlet would not have treated his sis- 
 ter so. Did the Irish tie Sepoy soldiers on English cannon 
 and fire them off for amusement? [Shame and groans for 
 England.] The counsel for the crown has lied when he calls 
 the Irish assassins. England cannot tell the truth. There is 
 no law for the poor; their trial by jury is a farce. I remem- 
 ber a case where one Sir John Villiers Shelley openly insulted 
 every woman in England in the Queen's drawing room, yet 
 because a poor landlord brought the charge, Lord Lanover 
 told the corrupt Judge that it must be an illusion. , [Laughter.] 
 The Onanized Baronet, however, has at last been kicked out 
 of Westminster, to make room for John Stnart Mill, as well 
 as kicked out of English society, yet The Times censured me 
 and cleared the member of Parliament. Shelley and Lord 
 Campbell own largely in The Times. Did they get some of 
 
54 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 
 
 the Confederate loan? Beresford Hope (Saturday Review 
 jn'oprietor), denies losing. So does Delane, and Morning Post. 
 Hope is the eye glared snob who called Seward an unprinci- 
 pled knave, and Lincoln an incapable pretender. I remem- 
 ber his once testifying before Judge Yardly that the flange 
 of the Bayswater Street Eail was a foot and half wide. 
 [Loud laughter.] 
 
 The English press are in the witness box, and we have got 
 them tight — a palpable hit. They squirm. They deny — but 
 nobody doubts their guilt. They say they have not lost. Of 
 course not. We, Wall street people, always put down so 
 much in the stock to the money writer. If it goes up he 
 makes. If it goes down he loses nothing. The same was 
 done in Londbn. Mason made the arrangement when I was 
 in St. James street. The list is correct as it stands, as can be 
 proved from the Southern archives. 
 
 , We who have been treated so badly by England wish to 
 take the right position in regard to neutrality. Be organized ; 
 let your movement be no failure. Ireland has not to-day all 
 the Irishmen. Tens of thousands are in the streets of London. 
 Beneath many an English coat you will find an Irish heart. 
 All through England revolution is ripe. Thousands of work- 
 ingmen will aid you. More will fight for you than will fight 
 against you. 
 
 I spoke four years ago to an excited audience in London 
 of the Sons of Saint Patrick. The Downfall of England speech 
 was copied all over the world. Shortly afterward I was in 
 jail ; they said for debt ; yet I had twenty thousand pounds 
 in the hands of .my English bankers at the time. [Applause.] 
 And some of those bankers who did the fiddling will have 
 to pay«the fiddler. [Laughter.] Mr. John O'Mahony must 
 stop the howling of the English press. Turning to Mr. Eob- 
 erts, the Chairman and President of the Central Council, Mr. 
 Train said, Why don't you send over two hundred thousand 
 dollars in the bonds of the Irish Eepublic and divide them 
 among the London newspapers ? [Laughter and applause.]

 Then they will swear by Ireland as they did by the Confed- 
 erate Government. [Laughter and " That's so."] 
 
 In conclusion let me advise you when you vote again to 
 abolish all State sovereignty, Monroe doctrine and free trade 
 absurdities ; abolish bribes to Presidents ; abolish Electoral 
 College policy, and open the President to election from the 
 people ; [cheers ;] abolish Ministers to foreign Courts, and 
 establish commercial agents instead. 
 
 Establish Father Mathew societies under the leadership of 
 my friend Carey here in every town. Shake hands with the 
 clergy,* who are really with you at heart [cheers], although 
 some of them have opposed your organization. Educate 
 your children to love God, love truth, love virtue, and be 
 happy. [Applause.] Avoid the rum shop as you would 
 the plague — [laughter] — and leave American women to drink 
 whisky under the scoundrelly advice of the family doctor — 
 and American young men to get the delirium tremens b}^ 
 1 paling around the bars of our hotels — but don't let it be said 
 that Irishmen are drunkards. No drunkard can belong to 
 the F. B. [Applause]. Swear by Andrew Johnson. [Cheers.] 
 The Eadicals intend to impeach him this winter. Elect your 
 own members of Congress, and cry Ireland for the Irish.

 Your hearths and altars are at stake, 
 Arise ! arise ! for freedom's sake, 
 And strike with John O'Mahony.

 To sweep upon old England's head,

 Train, Mr. Seward, the President, and others.) 
 
 Mr. Train having spoken for two hours, he withdrew, when 
 some of the Fenian orators came to time, and eloquent 
 speeches were made by Col. Eoberts of New York, Hine and 
 Powers of Massachusetts, Knightof Ohio, Gibbon, head Center 
 for Pennsylvania, Mr. Walsh, Gen. Sweeny,. McDermott and 
 others. The Philadelphia press was fully represented on the 
 stage. 
 
 The meeting was, in every respect, a great success to Mr. 
 Train and the Irish cause, to which the proceeds were all 
 eiyen.
