The Government, he said, nevertheless, endeavoured to im pose firm the Nation with the me e t shameful effrontery, the more tie :i were taken away, the more, it was said, the potailatium iii ereasrd. The wish to avoid the conscription indueed young me, to marry premalurely, and this led to domestic misery, and ,711- InMailtY. The Government, however, endeavcirPul to cove over %k wounds with a kind of fantastie glory. It flu: spoke o. con quest , and of at; rod sought to Aisgnise evils which were always increasing.
