JOHN FURLONG ALIAS JOHN HOB
SON--To you must address myself. Pain
full as is the task of discharging the duty
which has devolved upon me, under any cir
cumstances. 1t becomes much more so when
directed to one, whose crimes are as aggra-
vated as yours are. Your offences are OF the
blacklist die, unattended by any one solitary
circumstance, which can extenuate or
excuse aggravated, that COM
misseration for your sufferngs is almost lost
IN sense of justice The victims OF your
cruelty were unofepding, and therefore me-
rited no punishment; they were unresising,
and therefore could have excited no resent
ment; they were IN your power, and there
fore had claims to your protection: but you
received the order for their extirpation with
apparent cheerfuness, and entered upon its
discharge with alacrity an' zeal. If the Al
mighty himself. through the medium Of his
holy scriptures, had not condescended 10
communicate the fact, that even for you, mer
CHESS and unrelenting as you have been,
mercy and forgiveness may be found, our
feeble reason would not accreCitit. But he
has said so, and beseech you to avail your.
self of the means The holy ministers of
the Gospel will seek you in the recesses OF
your prison, and will instruct you. They
will teach you to supplicate Tor mercy, ano
tell you on what terms it may be found
they viii pray with you and for you. May
their Instructions and their prayers be not
unavail,ng.
But perhaps you too have chung to the
hope, that executive clemency may be e1-
tended to you.
In some cases it would be cruel to take
from the suffering malefactor. that ray OF
hope which has she'd its feeble light upon the
gloom and darkness of his prison, and af-
lorded him ray of consolation even upon the
confines OF despair but In your case il would
be yet more cruel were | 10 permit you lon
ger to solace yourself with hope that must
never be realzed.-Learn then. if you are
not already assured of the fact, that for you
there is 90 hope of escaping the punishment
due TO your offences.
With this assurance then, prepare your
self, during the short interval which remains
to you in this world, for the awful trial which
