public opinion. Let the nation say what
amount of respect should be accorded to him
as son Of Henry Clay and what right he has
to talk in his speeches SO pathetically about
the obseq quies Of his father which he himself
was too heartless to attend. We know no |,
what others may think Of the conduct of this
most unnatural son of an llustrious sire, butt
it seems to Us that all the thousands sounds Of
the world OF nature should be in his ears d
thousand hisses of indignation and scorn.
Where our Election Rioters and
RuGlans Come From. as /
The Dublin Evening Mail of April 18th. 1855
contained an account of the election held short |
time before in Oavan county. Ireland That pa |
per stated that it wasa contest between the Church
tof Rome and the landed gentry defending the nde-
|pendsnce of their native land. Never did apy
Human being real Of greater outragcs and perse-
cutions for opinion's sake. Mob law, violence
and intimidation were the arguments used at the
Cavan election, and many were actually impris-
oned in committee rooms and taken to the polls
by q rufian guard with the view of compelling
them to vote as "Hoy Mother Charch'' demand

also, it was stated ninety voters for Mr.. Hughes

y A lane was formed of fellows brandishine their
sticks, through which the voters going to the court
:, house were obliged to pass. The position of the
soldiers and police were somewhat altered in order
: to keep this mob back. After awhile they began
;. to seize voters and drag them into Mr.. Hughea
!. committee rooms"
"a party Of armed men went, between nine and
: ten O'Clock on Tuesday night, to the house Of an
- elector at Banagh, for the purpose Of making
- him promise to vote for Mr.. Hughes.
vi He refused to do so, and when they demanded
that be should swear not to vote for Mr.. Burrows
le and, on his refusing this also, they threw him
cross the fire, and held him there until the Hesl
