Mr. Villiers addressed his constituents on Monday, at Wolver- hampton,
in a speech containing the strongest declaration of Northern opinion yet made by a member of the Cabinet. He compared the case of the South boldly to that of Ireland. Repeal was once a great question—" Yet he never remembered one English member who was for it, or one that would not have voted any means to maintain union, or any Minister who would not have been called a traitor who had thought of yielding it ; and he did not know to what length they would not have gone to retain the Union had the eminent man who agitated that question so perseveringly not died." If Ire- land seceded to-morrow, the very men who rave at the North would arm to put her down, and, probably, while slaughter- ing Irish secessionists would keep on abusing Americans for acting so like themselves.
