AS the Enemies of the Human Race are inces-
santly employed in devising means for effecting their
mischievous designs, so it is necessary that those whofortu-
nately are differently disposed, should exert their utmost ener-
gies in support of the cause of justice and truth, in which they
have engaged. Irresistible are the motives to espouse a righteous
cause, and faithfully to maintain it. None can duly estimate
the heartfelt gratification which it imparts but those who expe-
rience its inetlable influence. The present state of this coun-
try is deserving of a most attentive consideration, as, if the re-
ports in current circulation are well-founded, neither persons
nor property are secure, as it has frequently been asserted that
clandestine proceedings have been taken affecting the rights of
a person who had been one of the most attached subjects of
this realm—that spoliation of his property had been permitted
under the most extraordinary circumstances. As the persons
who have been named as participants in this plunder are charge-
able with the heinous crime of wilful murder, under circum-
atances of peculiar barbarity, can it be possible that the perpe-
trators of so atrocious an offence are now considered as deserv-
ing reward, who formerly were conceived to merit the severest
punishment. Many attempts have been made on MR. FAR-
RELL'S life, and, were he to enumerate the many proofs of
malevolence which he has experienced, it would fill a consider-
able space ; it is true he has never been allied to faction, as it
has always been his opinion that until fraternal love is established
amongst mankind, they cannot enjoy happiness. The fact has
been too fully proved to admit of doubt that conspiracies of a
most dangerous character have been in operation for some con-
siderable time, and, it is painful to add, that there is cause to
fear that one object in view is the subversion of the Christian
Religion. Every means that the utmost degree of malignity
could devise has been used to his prejudice—cowardly advan-
vantage has been taken of his retiring habits to give vent to
demoniac rage. What must be the sentiments of .those who
are the abettors of these fiends—they have earned for them-
selves the degrading appellations of patronisers of vice, and pro-
moters of all mischief. The most full and positive contradiction
has been given to whatever has been advanced against this gen-
tleman ; and as none would dare to come forward in his pre-
sence when called upon to attempt a refutation of his statement,
it must be admitted as authentic.
