%'roiu Hit Lomlou Muruing Chronicle, list July.
The .tnerirao Relegate aud Lord
Brougham.
To (he hhhtorof the Morming Chronicle :
Sir:—Alter wbt occurred at the first
meeting of tho Statistical Congress, 1 with
drew immediately from that body, intend
ing oflfer no reasons here for my course
because, from what I saw, I judged that
they would uot be wortli the {taper on
which they might be written. 1 reserved
them, therefore, for roy own Government.
Alter waiting aw hile to see what comments
tho papers would make upon the scenes ot
the Congress, 1 commenced my dispatch
t) my Government; but a friend, in whose
opinions I hare great confidence, said he
thought I ought to address the people
here in vindication of myself. Upon this
intimation (for it was rather an intimation
than counsel) 1 sat down, aud. amidst a
thousand doubts and interruptions, wrote
the subjoined communication. I was just
bringing it to a close for the press yester
day. (Thursday) wiicn 1 received the in
formation that, at the opening of the meet-1
ing on the day previous, l-ord Brougham ,
had explained his remark; at the first meet- J
tug, as I would see in a paper referred to.
and the information came with the request
that 1 would return to the Congress. 1
lead the explanation in that paper and
two otlwit, They oulv difi.'r iu their re
port* of it. hut they alt concur in utskiug j
■••* lordship disavow any iuieultoti tc show ‘
any disrespect t > tin Ami-imumi Minister or 1
(he f'lirtt'o : . nil the* u-afct !, iw
sty that he merely meant to notice an j
interest ing or a statistical fact, viz: that;
there was a negro iu tilt* assembly.
Now, 1 found myself in a very ticklish
predicament. It was not bis lordship’s
remarks so u.ucli as the reception they
met with by all tnv associates ot the Con
gress, that determined me to leave it. —
The sighs were infallible that in that body
1 could not he received as an equal, cither
in country or iu character, while the negro |
was received with open arms. Tlie.y un
derstood his loulsbip as l did. All the
pa pci's understood him in the same way,
and some of them glory in the exposure of
the American Munster, and promise them
j selves a rich treat when the President shall
| discover iu what contempt his Minister is
’ held here. All this remains precisely as
j it aid before his lordship’s explanation. —
Os course, therefore, I cannot return to
them. They would receive me courteously
no doubt—possibly, now, with plaudits;
but why ? Not from personal respect to
me or my country, but to avoid schism in
the society —to preserve its popularity. I
am ouly three years removed from an Eng
lishman. (I date from the birth of my
Government) and I have toomush English
spirit in me to thrust myself into any com-
pany upon charity.
Had the Delegates received his lordship’s
remarks with a silent smile (ill-timed as
they were,) and Dr. Dclany’s response in
the'same way, I never should have lelt
the Congress. 15u* the plaudits came like
a tempest of bail upon my half-English
spirit. Nothing, then, in the piece needs
qualification but what refers to his lord
ship’s intentions. Learning these from
his own lips, I sat down to correct it in all
that imputed to him, directly or impliedly,
wrong intentions aud wrong feelings ; but
I found that they were so often referred
to in a vast variety of ways so often inter
minghd with sentiments void against the
principal, hut good against the endorsers,
and in all respects good against the leading
spirits of Europe ai*d the Congress, and
so essential to the harmony and grammati
cal construction, that if 1 undertook to cor
rect generally, I should hardly leave it
printihlu or readable. And yet Juo piece
must now appear ; for if not, it will go
forth to all Europe that the United States
Delegate took offence, pro-slavery like,
at an old man’s playful remark, left the
Congress at its beginning, and that neith
er cxpkuati ms nor entreaties could bring
him back.
I have neither time nor patience to re
model it, much less to re-write it. I am
called away to-day; 1 should have been off
from London before. In my dilemma I
have concluded to publish the piece just
as I wrote it; not now as fairly repre
senting his lordship, hut as exactly lujire
seiitinir in v understanding of him when I
left the Congress, and the reasons. lam
at the bar now, and lam i he judged of
by the leasonablcucss of my interpreta
tions, and of my conduct founded on them,
i beg his lordship, in consideration of my
situation, to indulge me in this. In return
I beg the reader to treat as revoked, and
utterly null and void, every reference to
his lordship that is in the slightest degree
inconsistent with his explanations. 1 am
not very far behind him in years ; I have
long been his debtor, and 1 esteem him
almost reverentially ; and if lie is not debt
or for his Judicial Reform Bill to my
native State, there is the most remarkable
coincidence between the two systems that
ever occurred since the world began. It
lie is, lie ought to esteem me for my*State’s
sake. Be this as it may. we arc too old to.
quarrel-
A. B. Loxgstekt.
TO 111 k i>i;ui.ic.
Before 1 terminate my first and last visit
to Europe, 1 deem it due to my country
and myself to leave behind me a word of
comment upon a most remarkable incident
of that visit. It may be of some service
to the people on both sides oftlic Atlantic.
England owes to my country much respect
—to my native btate a little. I came
hither as a Delegate (ami, by accident,
the only Delegate,) from the United States
lo the International Statistical Congress,
now in session at this place. The appoint
ment. was made by request of the author
ities of this country. lain a native of the
State ol Georgia, the birthplace of two gal
lant Tattunlls ; the one well known to me
the other well known to England. He
was that humane and chivalrous Connno
dote who, at the peril of his commission
and his life, rescued the captain and crew
of Hope’s sinking ship frotn a watery grave
at Pciho. -lie has received much praise
for tho deed, hut not quite all that is due
to him, for iu ycildingto his generous im
pulses he forgot that his no less gallant
brother was borne from the battlefield at
Point Peter severely wounded by British
muskets. What is done in war should be,
is not always, forgotten in peace. The
Commodore’;: conduct was approved by
liis Government, f lint Government which
Mr. Dallas represents at the Court ol St.
James.
The Statiscal Congress convened; a pre
liminary meeting was held to appoint of
ficers and arrange the order of business.
All the foreign delegates were declared to
be Vice Presidents, and they took their
scats on the platform with tho presiding
officer. Mr. Dallas, a complimentary visi
tor, took liis scat to the right of the chair
Lord Brougham to the left. All things
being now in readiness for the opening of
tho regular meeting, his Royal Highness,
Prince Albert, appeared, took tho chair,
and opened the meeting with that admira
ble address which has been published, and
which carries the highest commendation
upon its face. As soon as he had conclu
ded, and the long resounding plaudits ceas
ed, Lord Brougham lose, and after a few
remarks strongly’ and deservedly compli
inetary of the address, and after calling on
all present to testfy their approval of it by
holding up their hands (!) lie turned to tho
American -Minister, aud addressing him
across the table of Ins Royal Highness,
said: “1 call the attention of Mr. Dallas
to the fact, that there 16 a negro present;
I and I hope he will feel no scruples ou that
account. This appeal to ‘he American j
Minister was received with general ap- •
plausc by the house. The colored gentle- j
mau ruse and said, “I thank his lloyal j
Highness sml your lordship, and have!
only In sav (L lam a luan.” And this !
was received whit loud applause !
Nw it t|je noble lotil'ii ad<lir to the
A out M ail Minister w, inrmii tor picas
antry. 1 must he permitted to say that the,
time, the subject and the place were ex- j
ceedingly un; ropitiotis to such sallies. If
it was meant for sarcasm, it was equally
unfortunate in conception ar.d delivery.—
If it was meant for insult, it was mer
cilessly cruel to his lordship’s heart, refine
ment and dignity, and moral sense. 1
couhl readily have found an apology for it
in his lordship's locks and wrinkles, if it
i ha l riot been so triumphantly applauded.
The European delegates understood it—
the colored gentleman understood it; and,
from the response of the latter, wc can col
lect unerringly is import. It was meant
as a boastful comparison of Iris lordships
country with the Minister’s. It was meant
as a cutting reflection upon that country ,
where negrees are not admitted to the
councils of white men. This is the very
least and best that can be made of it, and
the dignity of the American Minister’s
character and office, liis entire disconnec
tion with slavery personally, and Iris pecu
liar nosition iu the assembly, were no pro
tection to bis country from this humiliating
assault ; nay, he is selected as the vehicle
of it before the assembled wisdom of Eu
rope, who signify openly their approbation
of it. All the city papers I have seen dis
fer in their report of this matter, but they
all soften its lugged features somewhat.
The Times is the most correct, but at fault
in making Lord Brougham preface bis re
marks to Mr. Dallas with, “I hope my
friend, Mr. Dallas, will forgive me for re
minding him,” &c„ and in making Dr. De
latiy (the colored gentleman) say to Lord
Brougham, “who is always a most unflinch
ing friend of the negro.’ - 11 one or the
other of these remarks was made, I did not
hear it; the Doctor would hardly have
used the last.
Now, I take leave to say that, a Briton
was the last man on earth who should
cast contemptuous reflections upon the
United States, and the delegates the last
men on earth who should have counte
nanced them. Not one of them, not a man
on all the broad surface of Europe, can
assail that country without assailing some
near home-born friend of Ins own language
and blood, or some kinsman by short lin
eage from a common ancestry. She spreads
herself out from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, from the Gulf to the Lakes, and
through all her length and breadth, she
is one vast asylum for the poor, the op
pressed, the downtrodden, the persecu
ted of the world. Her sons are a multi
tudinous brothel hood of all climes, re
ligions and tongues, living together in har
mony, peace and equality, so far as these
can possibly prevail within her bor
ders. ‘Say what you may, think as you
may, sneer as you may at her “peculiar
institution,” she is, after all, tho good
Samaritan of nations. Do a people cry
and waste from famine ? She loads her
ships with supplies, and lays them at the
sufferers’ doors without money and with
out price. Do an oppressed people strike
for liberty/ You will find some, of her
sons under their flag. Does a wife’s cry
come across the water for help, to find a
noble, long-missing husband/ Siie tits
out her ships, her volunteers man them,
they search nearly to the Pole, leain the
husband’s fate, disburden I lie, wife’s heart
from suspense, and then lie down ami die
from tlie exposure and toils of the search.
Does she find a nation’s sloop-of-war afloat,
still sound but unmanned / She puts her.
in decent trim and sends her to her owner,
in charge of her own men, and at her own
expense. “Bear with me.” If “1 atn bo
come a tool iu glorifying, ye have com
pelled me, for 1 ought to have been com
mended to you.”
Such a nation is not to he lamifuil, cer
tainly not by Great Britiun. Her slavery
is a heritage, not a creaturo of her own
begetting. It was forced on her against
her wishes, her prayers, and her protesta
tions —screwed down upon her, pressed
into her, until it has become so completely
incorporated with the very being that it is
now impossible to eradicate it. The term
“slave, property” is borrowed, it is not of
her coinage. In all her slave States
there are not ten men living (until very
.recently, not one,) who ever made a slave
of a freeman, counting the Hottentot a
freeman. Their sin, then, is not in mak
ing slaves, but i:i not restoring them to
liberty, in courtesy to the sensibilities of
those who made them toi us. Before they
ask this exaction of us they surely ought
to have the magnanimity of Judas, and lay
the price at our feet.
]Judge Longstreet next glances at the
immense loss and disaster, which immedi
ate emancipation of the slaves in the
Southern States would entail, showing
that nine million;, at least would certain
ly be ruined by it (the slaves and their
masters,) as the first fruits of the measure ;
and hundreds of thousands, if not millions
more, in the free States and kingdoms,
■i. c„ all who are dependent upon Cotton,
Rice and Tobacco iu any way tor a liv
ing, as its ultimate fruits.|
Whatever his lordship did not intend
by tha remark—and I am ready to believe
that he did not intend to wound—he cer
tainly did intend to bring to the Minister’s
notice that England made no distinctions
between men on account of their color.
And herein his lordship was lamentably
unfortunate, for the whole scene showed
that not only lie, but all liis applauders,
made a marked distinction between colors..
Would not his lordship have liad more
respect for the fccliugs of any white man
than to have made him the object of spe
cial notice, and such a notice to men gath
orod from ail quarters of the world /
Would his lordship’s discourtesy to a
white man have been applauded as it was
by gentlemen of refinement and delicacy?
True, it bit Dr. Delany’s sensibilities ex
actly in the right place, for ho returned
thanks for it; liut the chances are a thou
sand toouc that it would havo enkindled
his ind'gnatiou. “What,” ho was likely
to have said, “is it a boast of tho nobility
of England, that I am admitted to a seat
among white men ?” His thanksgiving,
too, was applauded, a thing not exactly iu
keeping with our ordinary dealings with
white men. Aud when he proclaimed the
| indubitable fact “that lie was a man,” a-
I gain he was applauded. If any oilier man
j had arihitt in the assembly, and said tho
i selfsame thing, he would have been laugh-
I cd At, Dot applauded.
Again, his lordship pointed hitn out as j
“a negro”—that was tho word—not os j
si mo of the gnaettes have it, “a colored j
person,” ot “felon and getillcuinu j ’’ the j
‘I mu . hst if tight Now. if he had felt
a due regard lor I lie Doctor’s rank, would
he not have sottened his designation, as
the papers have kindly done for him ! 1
am told that the Doctor is a member of
the Geographical Society, and a delegate
from Canada. If so, I demand, bv all the
canons of courtesy, why he v/as not called
to the stand as one of the Vice Presidents,
and placed right betweeu Mr. Dallas and
myself] Here would have been a scenic
representation of thrilling moral effect,
more eloquent of Old England’s love of
freedom and contempt of mastery than all
lip-compliments of all her nobles put. to
gether. Or if tliAt. seat was too low for
the Doctor, why was he not placed be
tween Lord Brougham and the Chair ?
Had I seen him there, verily my own
heart would have swelled with a compli
ment to noble Old England, which no lips
could have fitly uttered. Where was the
Doctor at the l’rilice’s reception ? I did
not see him there. To what section does
lie belong ? Ido not find him alotted to
either. To how many of the entertain
ments has he been invited.
Now, in all this 1 detect a lurking feel
ing ever and anon peeping out, which con
vinces me that the colored man is yet far,
very far below the white man in public
estimation, even in Europe; and until
this is conqured, let not tho European as
sume to lecture the American upon his
duty to the slave or upon the equality of
thoraces. Why, if the thing is fated to
us, like death, can any man of common
humanity and generosity take pleasure in
throwing it in his teeth? Slavery is either
a blessing or a curse. If a blessing, why
disturb us in the enjoyment of it ! You
Englishmen ought to plume yourselves
upon it, for it is your benefaction. If a
curse, you should not embitter it. We re
gard it a blessing : why disenchant us of
delusion? You say “it is a great sin.”
1 doubt it, as I find it, and shall ever doubt,
while Paul’s Epistle to Philemon is uni
versally acknowledged an inspired epistle.
But suppose it a siu ; lias God commission
ed you to reform it? And do you think
) ou ever will reform it by eternally sprink
ling vitriol upon the master? As for
your contempt, we would rather not have
it to be sure; but if you will be content
with that we will live in peace for ever,
for it is an article in equal store on both
sides. If you cannot condescend to our
company, we will not complain at giving
a place to Dr. Delauy, and we can beauti
fy you with four millions precisely such.
But iu your intercourse with us do not, for
your own sakos, forget all the rules of
delicacy and humanity, for every adult of
us can stand up and sav, “I am a man !”
Farewell to .thee London, for a short time !
Ono more brief look at thy wonders, and
then farewell forever. Another visit to
Liverpool ; 1 like her better tha . London,
because she. likes my .people better. “In
i crest!” “Cotton!’’ It may be so, but 1
am grateful for love of any kind in Eng
land. Never in all my long, lot g life did
my heart-strings knit around a fair one so
quickly and so closely as they did round xt
lady in London, who approached me and
s aid, “Mr. Lougstreet, I must get acquaint
ed with you! 1 love your country, 1 have
several kinsmen there.” That’s natural,
that’s woman like, it is for man to draw
favors fiom a country and curse her. God
bless her ! And God bless the family in
which she said it. As Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, .slaveholders, are in Heaven,
1 hope to get there too. May 1 meet
them all there! But, whither am 1 wan
dering! Liverpool, another look at
Liverpool, another benefice to the. Eng
lish Ciman! line, and then farewell to .Eu
rope forever and forever!

P. S. I forgot to mention many kind in
vitations that I have received from dis
tinguished personages. 1 declined them
ali, not indifferently nor disrespectfully,
but because they were obviously given to
me as a member of tlie Congress, which I
was not when they reached me, and never
shall be.
The Theory of a Brick. —A boy boating
bis - father say ’Twas a j>oov rub*, that
wouldn’t work both ways, said, ‘‘if father
applies this rule about bis work. 1 will test
it in my play.”
So setting up a row ol bricks, be tipped
over the first, which, striking the second,
causqd it to fall on the third, which over
turned the fourt, attd so on, until all the
biicks lay prostrate.
“Well,” said the little hoy, “each brick
has knocked down his neighbor. I only
tripped one. Now I will raise one. and see
if lie will raise his neighbor. - ’ lie looked
in vain to see them rise. “Here father,”
said the boy, “tis a poor rule that will not
work both ways. They knock each oili
er down, but‘will not raise each other up.”
“My son, bricks and mankind are alike
made of clay, active in knocking each oth
er down, but not disposed to help caeli
other up.”
“Father,” said the boy, “docs the first
brick represent the first Adam 1”
The father replied : “When men fall,
they lcvc company; but when they rise,
they love to stand alone, like yonder
brick, and see others prostrate before
them.”
Tlic Blood is tlic Life.
No more shall the poor sufferers in our
country languish, their constitutions racked
and torn by strong anil dangerous mineral
medicines; they will come to the fountain of
health, fond in simple herbs and roots ficm
nature's storehouse. TUB MOUNTAIN
HERB PILLs, of innocent mountain plants
composed, will reach and stop their distress,
and cause the blood, renewed and cleansed, to
carry through the body the elements of health;
building up the broken constitution, and car
rying life and health, where but for them
would have been, the wreck of hope—the fee
ble moan of suffering, at last ended by the
cold hand of death. Do not let prejudice over
come your better reason ; do nut look upon
these Pills as only like others; do not let your
despair, after trying everything else, prevent
you from trying these. Tho blood must ho
