DR. GUTHRIE AND THE INDIAN MUTINIES.--'
In the Course of the Rev. Dr. Guthrie's speech, at tho Meet
ing of the Indian Chiistian Association, held in Edinburgh
on Tuesday, he said—" I have read the history of our 040'
nial possessions, and I say that, with some bright exec.r
tions, it is a black and bloody history. - And in reference t°
India, as Well as to other of our colonies; I feel that the waY
Which we h'ave made eur conquests has often been of a' I,l°B
unjustifiable character; and I say before this meeting, 311,1
I'll say it anywhere, that had I been an Indian, and ha 4 7
been in India, I would have fought on the side of those you
call the mutineers. I would have fought for my country
I would have fought for all its liberties—l would hav°
fought for my native would have fought for ld
faith; and the very reason why I hcnot.r Wallace and
Bruce for repelling the foot of a foreign foe from Scotlan,
~w9uld have led me, had I been there, to take the side 01
the natives."
