rcn himself was to be trca' ed with the greatest
possible respect and courtesy compatible with
safe custody The manifesto was to demand a
new election andthe restoration of the rights Of
the majority. The next northern mail brought
confirmation Of great Wing victory, and Of
course Je plan Of abduction and all thoughts Of
1t were abandoned. Whether it would have
been executed if the events had fallen ont, the
anticira;ian of which led to its conception, is
beyond NY power 10 know. beiierc IL WOud
hare bccE; for, although it was embraced in pas
sion, that was rot likely to cool by witnessing
successful fraud il the enjoyment Of its spoils."
