u is now little more than one hundred years
since the last open attempt Of the fated hne OF
Stuart was made TO recover the British throne.
All who are familiar with English history know
with what ferocity and hardened, deliberate, sys-
teniatic cruelty the people who took part in that
rebellion were treated. Ii Is difficult 10 say which
ewere most merciless, the judges who presided at
the State trials, or the victors Of Cpoden. Ii was
a sor; Of race between soldiers and lawyers as to
which should be held the most ruthless An iIn-
partial umpire would have said that there was
very little difference between them, and that the
hands Of the one set were red as the swords OF
the other. The English towns poured cut their
thousands OF ignorant popuace TO behold and gut
over the last moments Of chiyalrous. but mistaken
men, who died according 10 the manifold horrors
provided by that bloOdiest chapter of bloody
code, the English law Of high treason. The last
hours OF these men were made dOubly bitter by
the "rabble's CURSE filling on their ear, the En-
glish mob hating them yindictiveiy in their COM
pound character Of rebels and Scots, most Of them
belonging to North Britain. A reign Of terror pre-
vailed, and it does not appear that the slightest
effort was made to inculcate forbearance, except
that Of the journals in the interest Of the fallen
cause, published some exquisite lines in praise Of
mercy, from Shakespeare . "Measure for Meas
ure." The "Butcher" Duke Of Cumberland,
Wellington in later age, for taking prominent
part in the overthrow Of Napoleon. Well, CEN
fury passes away, and on the appearance in Lon.
don Of man who would have been pronounced
one after his own heart by the hero Of Culloden,
the English populace rise up and lynch him. He
has murdered men, scourged women to death and
torn children away from the arms Of their Shrek
ing mothers; and the very coal beavers Of the me
tropolis Of the world assai him, for the purpose
Of inficting on him the punishment he so ri :h!y
deserves, slight anticipation Of the Judgment Of
heaven. The villanies practised on the banks of
The Danube are punished on those Of the Thames.
II is probable that not one man in four Of those
who assaulted the Austrian wretch, could have
given an Ineligible account Of his conduct, but
they knew that he had been the chief tool Of ty-
rants in putting down and cruelty treating people
who had been guilty Of 40 other crime than fight
ing boldly in their country's cause. This was
enough for them, as ii should be enough for every
man who has heart in his bosom. The pity is
that the rufhian was rescued from well deserved
punishment, and we wish that the Russian Gar
had been in the same place, and had been treated
in the same manner. Tyrants their Instruments
should be taught, that there is ''higher law
than that under which they act, and that when
the voice Of the people is engaged in expounding
it, it is really and truly the voice of Cod
Boston Times.

The Saut..Ship Canal.

The following graphic description of the
the So mot "Soo") and its one great want,
Ship Canal past the Rapids, we extract
from a ccpital letter lately written to The
Cleveland True Democrat.
l. says most truly that "Members Of Con-
gress would be astonished mt the cheapness
Of such a work" Add to that its impor-
rance 10 the whole Northwest, and we cam
not believe the House Of Representatives
will refuse to pass at once the Senate Bill
that is soon to come before their honorable
body, providing for such canal:
1--WE arrived at the 5000 Just before din
lser. From the point our first view was ia
ken, the town looked pleasant and smiling
IA a wsDau. II seemed good to look upon
abe evidences of civilization again. The
falls we're roaring before us, the water tum-
.alng down from the big pond above, over
bonlders and broken lodges. throwing the
current into a white foam, looking for all
the world like flock OF sheep running
down hill Over these pillows we could
see the shipping on Lake Superior and ~
iug az the head of the portage. 1t seemed
'bo, a stones throw from where the London
landed, to where the .Monhatfan was lying
above the Falls, waiting to receive our
freight and passengers. Almost the first
thing we did after getting ashore, was to
walk over the Portage and take a look al
the mammoth Lake. We never before was
so sensible of the miserable policy and in
excuse able shorrsghiedness Of the Govern
ment in neglecting as they have so long, TO
provide ship channel for this portage
Members of Congress wenld he asionished
az the simplicity and cheapness Of such a
work. Ii is almost within the means OF a
hundred private individuals in our own city
and quite within the business enterprise OF
most ordinary men. And yet Government
pertinaciousIy refuses to grant even the
right Of way, much less an appropriation &c
build this much needed work. Millions car
le spent annually in marble custom houses

West, which Improvement would do more

wealth of the country. than all the harboI
bsls for Atlantic, GU, or Lake coasts, thai
have passed Congress for dozens of years
Millions of capital are now invested in this
upper mining region, which with proper en-
enlargement from Government, will mol
only multiply itself, hut will open mine ol
wealth, trade and commerce to the world
But now this capital is taxed, doubiy and

Owen Lloyd for the happiest opportunity that
Yves ever put into an aspfant'S hands. You
