We COPY the following from Ell Vicardgaelse of
the 10th, The first article is ably and powerfully
written. Costa RIGA has taken the sword and COM
mittsd horrible murders with the sword. Let her
abide by her own chosen arber-the We leaye
her to the tender ercies IF the sword and the mag
naninity oftstheman fdestiny. As she has madehe
own bedyso let her repose. As she wages war of e
termination agansttheN North American race let that
race wage d similar against her. Let the contest
be asiss has invoked blood forbIood and life for life.
We are willing to eonide the issue to the unQuailing
hearts and strong arms Of onr countryen. They are
competent to take care Of themselves and before they
fall a vail of sorrow viii 60 up from widowed and or
Fphaned Costa Riea. The mourning will not be con.
fined to the United States by any means and when
our brethren triumph they must and viii, let them
beas niercifq to tile murderers as lpossible, With
these remarks we append the extracts from El
