allowed to fellow-Chastimis ? And now, my brethren, before
travelling nearer home, let me suppose • cue to occur in
them distant antes of ours. Let us suppose that the pre-
sent lip well subdued, and that peace is restored.
But thee as he no doubt this rebellion has its chiefs—
them who have silently circulated throughout the whole of,
at one pneidency, and pampa more, evil principles,
to ourtuloondhave organised multitudes not merely
for rislaig.4o,o mesa woe rights, but for the total overthrow
of our dfor the cruel massacre of every one who is
naturally apposition to their designs. Let these, by God's
mercy, be prostrated and tranquillity be restored by what
they may call a
rebellion
Yet the chid promoters and
planners of the may escape unhurt. Let us, then.
that these have taken refuge in the states of some
Mocking lint weak power of one of the princes who
surround our territory—end that they are not only sheltered
but welcomed with applause, so that they bold public
meetings, where they are called the true him& of India,
and subscriptions are openly made there for future
attempts upon our British provinces. Let um sup-
plies that there • mem is open to them, at which
they may print their inflammatory tracts and incendiary
be scattered over all India ; that thence, without
they may &match arms and ammunition into the
besot of country; that there they may freely plot and
compire_ epithet thepeace of our distant dominions, thence
Elwin without es end enter our territory organised

Now, Isa you, my bream, are you, as people of this
oeuntry,or is as govesnmsmt, prepared to permit this P Sup-
posing the nation to be • weak power, whom we
could at once subdue or overmans do you think we should
tolerate such ? I hardly ihink we should be Ratio-
ned with the answer that It was only • politial and revolu-
tionary movement on the pert of men who wanted indepen-
dence, and that they had a right to seek it; that they had
bees, indeed, unsuccessful, but that theirs should be
considered only •• political crime ; that they see m-
enses', and that the honour and the conatitution of
the protecting nation demanded • liberal treatment of
them ; adding • boast that they were too strong in their
national stability to fear similar dangers. Would this
be tolerated, with, probably, another rising before us, in
which the use of the torch and the poniard was freely recom-
mended and the committal of every atrocity forbidden even
In war freely anticipated ? Would not the whole nation rise
indignantly at the idea that a handful of assassins should re-
ceive shelter from a weak power, and we permit them the full
liberty of and attacking us whenever they pleased P
No, tt never would be permitted. Even at the cost of • war
we would not allow melt • refuge to asuman'. And this de-
terminates would be spplauded,independent of all considera-
tions of revolting atrocities committed by the rebels. It
would be taken in connexion with the mere armed mutiny,
and attempt to overthrow our empire. Let us, then, fairly
apply to others the principle that would be followed in our
own case.
