This document appears to be a newspaper article from 1863 containing summaries of speeches given in support of abolitionism and the Union cause in the American Civil War. It includes the following key points: 1) The speakers expressed sympathy for the North rather than the South in the Civil War because victory for the North would advance the cause of negro emancipation. 2) They condemned slavery as an abomination and argued the conscience of free England could not countenance its extension or the principles of the Confederacy fighting to preserve it. 3) One speaker stated that England and the United States should be friends and allies in promoting religion, liberty and peace throughout the world.

only from her wonderful esecuiion on iho violin,
from the fact that she has given a good esamplo to
sex by achieving high eminence in a department

youth, she stands in tlin same class with 01c Bull, Si-
and Vicu* Tempi, ibe- li.it violinisls wo bavo bad

showed iotenso deligbl in music when only Ave

is oouldafford.she made tho lour of Germany wh{
only eight years old, giving concerts under Ihe dire
tion of her father, and surprising all by tho maturii
as well as tho skill oi her performance. She came
this eity more than leo years ogo, associated hersc
