CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Mn. EDITOR-Low happens it that in an age
which boasts of its humanity and civilizatiort/
an amiable individual who has stepped
suffering
the advocate and protector for the
brute, is held up by some of your cotemporarie!
pointed
as an object of ridicule, and markedly
out as a lawful victim of their resentment,lo
set of the greatest ruffians upon the face of th!
earth. Surely no one possessing the least sprit
of humanity can have beheld without horror 06
disgust, the cruel usage to which horses and other
metro-
cattle are exposed in the streets of the
polis ? And can such treatment be justified all
the score of either justice or humanity ? IS, I.
just or humane to ill treat animals which mini;
comforts

Deeply impressed with this idea, and urged Oil

by noble feeling of humanity, a ma"
forth in the Senate and implores the protectio?
o. f a law in favour of animals, whose hard lot it
is, too often, to be exposed to the most wan,
barbarity. Whatever may be the opinion °`
certain editors, such a law was thought useful b:/:
the great majority of our Senators. That
should awaken the indignation of the rutfiana
creatures/
whose wanton barbarity it was intended to ret
press, cannot create any surprise. But wha.„.
must fill every one with astonishment is, Ow
editors of public works should, in this coualrlf
and in this age, devote the columns of their Pub'
lications to ridicule and vilify a mall whose hue;
mane intentions can awaken none but sentiment
of admiration and of sympathy in every vvellregr
lated mind ! When Mr. Martin so courageensll
set about enforcing the law he had introduced oda
so much resolution and courage, I shudder°,
at the idea of the dangers to which he most ne
cessarily he exposed, in the discharge of $o 9t,
, r
duous and so dangerous a duty. I feared
we 'l2O
him, because I knew the brutality of the t
against whom he must have to contend. Th.%
were, of course, the only enemies I could imag.3lslo,
he would find in his way. But men of e"

of course, place them high among the low and e,

ciples must make them rank very low among
more polished and refined classes of societY
