Meagher'S Speech.

The European Times of the 26th says:-
We understand that the authorities at Dublin
are in possession of a plot entered into by
some foolish Missionaries to rescue Charles
Gavin Duffy out Of Newgate, either befGre
or after his trial. Such precautions have
been taken as would totally defeat this absurd
attempt if made.
The special commission at Clonmel has
closed its deeply melancholy labors. Mr.. w.
Smith O'Brien, Mr.. McManus, Mr.. O'Dono-
ghue, and Mr.. Thomas Francis Meagher,
have now been severally found guilty, and
by the sentence of the judges of the land,
await in prison punishment for their viola
ton Of the law. 1t is impossible to read the
final speeches of Mr.. Manus, O'Donoghue,
and Meagher, especially of the latter, with
out being struck with the lofty heroism which
has evidently been their ruling passion. Mr..
Meagher at the close of his trial said
Ii is my intention TO say a few words, |
desire that the last act Of a proceeding, which
has occupied so much of the public time
should be Of short duration, nor have ! the

MARLBORO, November l2th, 1913.

MARLBORO, November l2th, 1913.
To the Editors Of The Bugh.
DEAR FRIENDS In the Bugle of the 10th
is a note addressed to me from James West
fall, inquiring Of me my views of the "na-
ture of God and the teachings of the Bible
in reference to Slavery and War;" In most
of the meetings held in this State the past
season, by C.. G. Burleigh and myself, a
resolution embodying the above sentiment
has been offered, discussed and passed, gen.
orally without much opposition among abo-
litionists. There has been opposition, deep
and strong, amorg those who say we have
no knowledge Of the being and attributes of
God, nor Of the relations, obligations and
rights Of man, nor of any distinctions between
right and wrong, except through the Bible
and who think MAN is MADE FOR THE BIBLE,
AND NOT THE BIBLE FOR MAN.
In answer to the inquiry, ! would say, !
believe that God is Love, God is Justice,
God is Interchangeable; and whatever is noW
opposed TO the Divine nature, always was
and always must be opposed TO it. The
question may arise, How know that such
is the nature of God I i shall not argue the
question here, whether God is just, benevo-
lent and Interchangeable; nor shall ] attempt
to show the foundation of my belief in the
l do believe in the existence Of such a Be.
ing, and worship Him as my God, who made
me, and to whom ] am responsible. will
also say, that l can no more doubt the exist
ence of such a Being than | can doubt my
own existence as a human being. In both
cases my faith seems to be based upon the
same testimony, i. e. that of my W soul
Certain l am, my belief in the existence o
God has no connection with the Bible.
l know Slavery is opposed TO The nature
Of that Being whom | call God, and whom
| worship as such. A being that authorize
man to make merchandise of man, no matte
what he is called, and by whom lie is wor
shipped, is to me a Devil. The pro-slaver
priests, churches and politicians of this ma
ton of slave-breeders and slave-traders, ma,
call him God, their Almighty Father, an
they may pray to him as a God, but, in m.
opinion, no tribe nor nation of men, not eve
the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, tn
Hindoos or the Cannibals, ever had crosse
or more monstreus ideas of God than hav
the churches and clergy ofthis land who hold
{ as all Shareholders and their apolopists DE-
; that He is an Almighty slave-traderand slave
, driver. The being whom shareholders an
f their apologists worship as God, and who
they say, moves them TO hold slaves an
deal in human chattels, cannot be surpasse
. in fendish malignity, injustice, pollution an
crime, by any being wOrshipped as God b

THE FLAG OF THE New REpUBLIc.-When the
American flag was lowered by Col. Gates from
the lofty staff which was erected in the Plaza of
Tampico 10 the honor of Santa Anna, two oppos-
ing parties of Mexicans rushed forward with two
different flags, to up in the place of the stars
and stripes. One party had the old flag of the Re-
public of Mexico, and the other the flag of the
new Republic of Sierra Madre. These two par
ties commenced very animated and belligerent
struggle, which became so serious that Col. Gates
had 10 interfere and stop the quarrel, by cutting
down The flag staff The party in favor of the new
republic then offered Col. Gates three hundred,
five hundred even thousand dollars for the staff,
but he refused, and ordered it to be cut up The
party of the old republic however, having gained
the pedestal, rugged up staff, and hauled up the
eagle of Aztec, whilst the Sierra Madre Republi-
cans betook themselves to some promne mt public
building, and threw out the new banner from the
lofuest turret We further learn that the party of
the new republic offered to purchase from Col.
Gates all the munitions of war at Tampico belong
ing TO the United States but the Colonel, having
no authority TO sell, had TO decline the offer They
have, however, raised a large sum of money,
which has been placed at the disposal of distin-
guished American, for the purpose of procuring
the necessary means to carry out their plans Look
out for some decided and stirring events, which
must soon occur on the line OF the Sierra Madre -

TnE MAcKEREL FISHERY. mac kerel fishery
OF New England hasno for many years pr esented
gloomy prospect at this season, as it does the
present year. For number of years the business
has not been SO good as formerly, and now that
our fishermen have the British provinces to con-
tend with In their own markets, the business looks
despairing enough. The low rate OF duty which
the. present tariff imposes, and the advantages
which the people of Nova Scotia have over our
fishermen to take the mackerel which flood their
shores, enable them to bring to thi country large
quantities, at great deal less expense than our
fishermen can procure them-thus supplying the
market and reducing the price to a very low stan
dard Last year they began to import mackerel
from Nova Scotia about the first of September. and
about fifty thousand barrels were imported. Those
that are imported now, we understand, are of this
years catch. Twenty-Five hundred and seventeen
barrels have arrived at Boston this week from the
provinces, and should they continue to arrive
through the season in such numbers, we do not see
but that the business so far as eur fisherman are
concerned, will be entirely Frustrated. Under the
tarlfi OF 1892 the duty on mackerel was one dollar
and fifty cents per barrel now it is less than fifty
cents per barrel. We hope that those who voted
IN favor OF placing the Polk administration in
power will not find much fault if their business is
entirely ruined. Gloucester Telegraph.

The discrepancy between the two years is most
striking; the general accuracy of the journal which
gives the statement Is guaranty for It's correctness
You have, believe, a /" committee on printing
appointed by your House Of Representatives. Our
House of Commons has similar committee, from
whose second report give the following extracts !:
4 saving has been made Of 600 per annum in the
binding OF documents. All incidental printing
* 70 be done by direct order from the Speaker.
., is proposed that in future reports only Of COM
missioners shall, be printed for delivery to the
House, the manuscript Of evidence, sc. TO be de-
posted in the library Of either house for reference,
bat not to be printed. A saving Of el9,964 has
been effected oy printing papers in an absiracied
FORM and not at length, since 1874. The whole
cost Of printing for Parliament for the year lsiS
was Gi3,l73 6s 4d.; in 1896 it was 449,2sS in
1897, 44S,l27; in 1889, 445.43i. The number
ot Parliamentary papers printed in 1916 was 724 !;
IN lsi7, 757. The amount paid for warehouse
room for documents kept in store was for lS46
and ls47, G622 and 466l respectively.
The importance Of Great Britain and the United
States to each other, in commercial point Of view,
wiil be fully understood by due appreciation Of
the two following facts The United States has ex-
ported during the last five years SAYS, ,52 bales Of
cotton 70 foreign countries Of these Great Britain
has taken 5,s99347. Ii the foreign commerce of
Great Britain be supposed to consist Of one thou
sand parts, the United States takes and pays for
one hundred and eighly-one Of those pars--Ger-
many, the next best customer, taking only one hun
dred and one. In connexion with commercial SUBJ
Jects, il may be mentioned that the Germanic cone-
deration ofthe ZollVeren has proposed increased
rate OF duty on the Importation Of silk, wooen,
worsted, and mixed goods. The Manchester Cham
Der OF Commerce has addressed a memorial to Lord
PALMERsToN, asking him 70 exert all the influence
OF the British Government to avert the evil thus
threatened to British manufactures. Lord p. states
in reply that representations have been made to the
Prussian Government against this increased duty,
and that there is reason to suppose the proposed
:gdditional duties will be abandoned.
There is at last, unfortunately no room to doubt
