From the Buff. Com. Advertiser Of Thursday. g,
Latest FROM UPPER CANADA-Wel
learn this afternoon by gentleman from
waterloo, that every thing is perfectly
quiet on that side of the lines-the ferries |
are running as usual, and persons can
pass freely back and forth. with but slight !
examination, provided no suspicious APP
Pearance exist. Ii is presumed that all
restriction will be shortly removed if moth
Ing unusual occurs.
The statement published by US, that the
insurgents al Short Hills had been cap
tured and dispersed, is confirmed. Some
2O-all Canadians, were taken in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the outbreak, and a
number more have been subsequently ia
ken on Gull Island, at the mouth of Grand
River. These were nearly all Americans,
and physician from this side, whose
name we do not learn, was among them.
The Tamarack Swamp, extending from
Short Hills to Grand River, which was
the retreat of the insurgents, has been
pretty thoroughly cleared.
The prisoners captured have been taxi
en- to Chippewa, for trial before commits
sion. The attorney general is in readi-
ness, and the proceedings will probably
be had to day or tomorrow. The pun
ishment of those from this side, who may
BE- declared guilty, will, we suppose, be
death.
J MORBID SYMPATHV.-Someo of the DO
litical papers express great deal of sym
pathy, and shed many tears over Mr..
Kneeland's case. The Morning Post of
this city says that Abner Kneeland has
been sentenced to sixty days imprison-
ment in the common Jail, for exercising
the rights guaranteed to him by the Con
stitution of his State-for expressing his
opinion.
This and similar declarations made in
various papers, are calculated to mislead
the public mind. They convey false
impression. The truth is, Mr. Kneeland
was indicted and tried for libels published
in the Investigator of December 90,
1888. One Of the articles in that paper
we read at the time, and a more bIasphe-
nous, filthy and obscene production we
scarcely ever saw. And what made it
excessively shocking, was, that it was re-
specting the Lord Jesus Christ. To use
the language of the Independent Chromi-
Gle, " 1t would be difficult to put a SEN
tence together, which would be more
Objectionable IN every respect, to any
mind possessed of the least deIicacy, or
any regard for the decencies of life.
! Mr.. KLeeland endeavors to convey, and
has conveyed the impression that he was
convicted for the publication Of the fol-
lowing sentence:
Universities believe in god which
do not but believe that their god, with
all his moral attributes, (aside from ma
ture itself,) is nothing more than a chime
ra of their own Imagination.
Yet at other times he indirectly admit:
that it was for something beside this, BY
by stating that the offensive article was
: copied into his paper during his absence
The truth is, the article for which he was
indicted, is too grossly obscene to be re-
peated. We believe it was not even reac
in Court, but the paper was put into the
? hands of the Jury to be read by them ir
their room. This paper may be seen o
5 any time, by calling upon the Clerk o
the Supreme Judicial Court in this city
