The Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1822-1829, 1823-02-07

sch extracts as will shew the base aud
malignant spirit If the writer. n may
serve as a foretaste Of what the reader has
10 expect, perhaps, il we previously .nc,i-
ton that Wellington is consignedto Hell for
having gained tine battle of Waterloo. The
heartless mockery aud insult of the yenera-
bic monarch thus begins
" A hotter farmer n Ter brnsld dew from lawn,
7rerm king lrit a rsaln undonr
he died bai lelt Ia, sublrer still rhnd,
One half as nad--nnd tother icgs bind"
| This allusion In the awful calamities with
which it pleased Providence TO allliet the
hing, Ia the evening fhis days, is humane,
geniienlanly aud amiable. But the writer
delights 10 re,el in the revolving theme
lie omlts no opportunity of recalling, with
brutal levity, The mournlu tuh 10 our re-
collection. In the I'D Stanza we have the
following lines
:. While thus TIN, spake, The angelic caravan
Arriving like rush OF mighty Wind,

Some SILVER stream tn,s .angcs. Me, or Inde,

So much for the moral dcccncy, the
common feelings of humanity, in speaking
OF the dead. Gracious God Till We had
this evidence OF the Iact we should have
thought no wretch could be found 50 cal
lous, so brutal, as To sport with mental and
bodily infrmlty We should have tho't
that an aged monarch, stricken with blind
ness, and the intellectual rs well rs the Vi
sual orb quenchcd in night, might have
found a sacred refuge, il not in the grave,
AT least IN the sanct'ty OF his Affections
W. should have thought that the mclan-
choly condition to which the nscruiahle
viii of Providence had reduced the roy; |
sufferer wound have disarncd even The
rancollrof political hostility, & that the eve
which might have looked fierce defiance ut
him IN his pride of power would drop tears
over the venerable aud mairslic rum. But
We have been Taught another lesson. We

memory in death. There i, something so
i shocking, 50 revolving in the idea Of sport
! ing with human inirmlts something which
the heart 50 instinctiyrly ahhors, that no
eensurc, however indignant, no reprooi,
however austerc, can equal what is felt II
such brutality. WcIrayc the ohious crime,
! therefore, 10 its proper tribunal.
There are other passages Of this dctes-
table production which we shall quo:c, Ia

We have no intention of indicating the
political conduct of the late reign from
such calumncs as these but we may OBJ
serve that the blood which was shed, and
the slain that pcrishcd tthc aIIusion is cyi-

wars that grew out Of it, were certainty
