Yes Cromwell had force and sagacity TO get that
done which he had resolved get done, and this is
the whole truth about your admiration, Mr.. Carlyle
Accordingly at Drogheda quoth Cromwell

of action. ! forbade them 10 spare any that were
in arms in the Town, and | think that night they

the officers and soldiers being fled over the Bridge
into the other part OF the Town; and %here

of ST Peters Church 10 be fired. when one of them
was heard 10 say in the midst of the flames God

al am persuaded that this is righteous JudG'
ment Of God upon these barbarous wretches who
have inlbrued therhauds in much innocent blood;
and that it will tend prevent the effuson OF blood
for the future. Which the satisfactory grounds
TO such actions, which otherwise cannot but work
remorse and regret. " Ihs hath oeeh al

Certainly one not of the rose water or treacle kind
Mr. Carlyle says such measures cut to the heart
of the war and brought peace. Was there the"
no CRYING OF Peace, Peace when there wasno peace
Ask the Irish peasantry why they mark that period
with the solemn phrase Of Cromwell's Curse
For ourselves though aware of the mistakes and
errors in particulars that must occur we believe the
summing up of Il mans character IN the verdict or
his time is likely to be correct We believe that
Cromwell was "a curse as much as blessing III
these acts of his We believe him ruthless, ambi'
tous. half hypocrte, few men have courage or
want of soul to bear being wholly So, and we think
il is rather TOO bad at us In our time Tor cant
ing. and then hold up the Prince OF Caners tor our
reverence in his dimly seen nobleness.' Dimly,
indeed despite the rhetoric and satire OF Mr.. Carlyle
In previous instances where Mr.. Carlyle has acted
out his predeermnat:ons as TO the study OF charac-
ter we have seen circumstances favor him at least
sometimes There were fine moments, fine lights
unon the character that he would seize upon But
here the facts look Just as they always have dc IN
6eed ascertains that the Cromwell family were not
mere brewers or pebeians but e substantial gentry
and that there is not the least ground for the common
notion that Cromwell lived at any time dissoiutc
life. But with the exception OF these emendatons'
still the history looks as OF old we see man oi
strong and wise mind, educated by the pressure OF
,reot occasions 10 station of command; we see him
wearing the religious garb which was the custom OF
tho times and even preaching to himself as well as
to o,hers-ior well can we imagine that his courage
and his pride would have fallen without keeping up
the illusion; but we see Heaven answering his
ipvocations in any way that interfere with the
rise of his fortunes or the accomplishment oil bis
nlnns. To ourselves the tone of these religious hold
ipgsforth is of stuff sufficiently expressive they all
ring hollow; we have never read any thing OF the
sort more repusive TO than the letter TO Mr. Ham
mond which Mr.. Carlyle thinks such noble con-
,ras, to the mpiety of the present time. Indeed we
cannot recover from our surprise at MIR. Carlye's
liking these letters; his predeterminaton must have
been strong indeed. Again we see Cromwell ruling
with the strong arm and carrying the spirit of mon
ercly 10 an excess which no Stuart could surpass
Cromwell, indeed. is wise, and the king he had pun
ished with death is foolish Charles is faithess, and
Cromwell crafty We see no other difference. Crom-
well does not in power, abide by the principles that
led him 10 ii; and we can't help-so rose-water i'm
becile are wel-admiring those who do: one Lafay
cite for ns,ance--poor chevalier so despised by Mr.
Carlyle-for abiding by his principles, though I'M
practicable, more than Louis Philippe who laid them
aside 50 far as necessary Ito secure peace 10 the
kingdom and to us it looks black for one who kills
kings TO grow to be more kngly than king.
The death Of Charles l. was boon TO the world
for !, marked the dawn of a new era, when Kings
in common with other men, are TO be held accounta
BILE bv God and Mankind for what they do. Many
who took part in this act which did require cour-
age and faith almost unparalleled, were no doubt
moved by the noblest sense of duty. We doubt moi
this had its share in the bosom councils OF Crom'
well Bu, we cannot sympathize with the appa-
