until degrees the empire Of the seas came at length to
be disputed by Great Britain and France which, pre-
vously stated engaged in contest in India that finally
suited in the supremacy Of the latter
From that time Great Britain had no rivalry in the
East and no obstacle to acquiring this magnificent in
herance" but what from the opposition Of the
princes and people of Hindosan This she has it seems
finally succeeded in quelng The Nabob Of Dude the
last of the empire of the Great Mogu and
he at length after being for years tributary to the East
India Company, has fallen last victim 10 that
cradle policy which has enabled Great Britain succeed
to the mag Inheritance Of the empire Of the Great
Mogul the richest region OF the globe comprising
of people and STILL notwithstanding more than
half century of and boodshed estimated at from one
hundred and fifty to hundred millions "And then
says the Post, "what next-and next" Ay-wha next?
Persia perhaps and Egypt and China. And what next
Heaven only knows and If the Gar can be put out othe
way, who is to set limits to this boundess ambition?
Those who wish to know the modus operanA through
which tho East India Company and its partner the Brit
sh government have finally succeeded this magnificent
Inheritance may they please, refer to the British hiso-
rans of India where Notwithstanding that inveterate ma
tonay which distinguishes all British writers without
nation but disgust They will there how the native
princes were melted by British stmulants and British
inrgues to make war on each other and waste their
strength domestic bros while the satellites of this sor-
did trading company, which was inspired by any
nobler motive than the love of gain stood looking on wait
ing for the golden to take advantage OF the
exhaustion of its victims In short they Will there see
in spite of all attempts disguise obscure the truth the
process by which the richest country 10 the wc' has
been exhausted Of its wealth 70 pamper the official m 0ns
OF England.
As sample let us see how the organ of the British Pre-
mer CLOSES over the annexation of the kingdom Of Dude
" s says the Post 1--WE repeat not the annexation of
independent kingdom, for Dude was one the
privaon of people of its just rights for the rights Of
inhabitants will be better protected under British rule than
they under native 1t resembles more the at
tander of reasonable family than anything else it
just it is polite it is benefcent it is inevitable Yet it
marks strangely the destiny which is forcing itself upon
US in the East"
The whole scope Of this paragraph is marked by decep
ton, lsehood hypocrisy and that nveterate cant by
which great portion of the British press is dishonor-
ably distinguished When first the career of conquest
commenced in India the Nabob of Dude independ-
pany in its intercourse with him. If he afterwards be-
came tributary it by the imposition ofsuperor force
superior cunning and all this about "he attain
der of reasonable fami"is without any basis of truth
whatever and only assumed gloss of
faced usurpation.
But says the Post this act sis not the prvaton Of
people of Its just rights for the rights of the inhabitants
will be better protected under British rule than they
under native" AS 1t is under this mack of phlan-
hropy, this specous pretext Of propagang Christianity
civilization and liberty that the government Of Great Brit
ain seeks to justify it's usurpsons in the East North
6eyoSa lie usual limits; institute brief inquiry into the
effects of British conquest and protection in the condition
Of the people of Hindostap.
1t should be borne In mind in this brief investira
ton, that Hindostan is situated away on the other
side of the world and that we hear and know moth
ing Of what is going there except what is distilled
through the British press The princes and people of Hin
dosan have medium through which they can ap-
peal TO the justice or the symPathies Of the world and
all we know of what has been done, is doing, in
that obscure and distant region is nothing than
specou oneded report devised for the sole purpose Of
practising deception the world Thus when Of the
independent princes of Hndosan dared inroads
or cIactons of the East India Company he forthwith
denounced rebel and traitor like the Nabob of Dude
Thus too the Afghans-who but yesterday were an indie
pendent nation hunted in their mountain recesse by
the British troops and forced into something like nomi
nal subectionare designated rebels" by the Brit
sh because they have the hardhood resist the un
ceasing food Of British usurpaton In this way the world
remains in ignorance Of the truth OF things and IL s
thus that Great Britain maintains her pretensons uni
versal philanthropy in the West while violating all s
precepn in the East While pretending TO protect the In
dians Of Central America she Is tampug the Indians Of
ndostan under foot and at the OF asserting the
Independence Of one e1dnguhng every vestige OF inde
pendeuce In the other Thus too while involving Europe
IN war under pretsnce Of protecting the empire Of the
Grand Sgnior from the aggressions Of Russia she has in
the mean time succeeded in e1tnguishng the last
OF that OF the Great Mogu and possessed herself Of that
magnificent Inheritance" comprising Of 300 900
square miles
All these inrosds and usurpatons arc however shelter
cd under the broad mantle OF philanthropy The rights Of
the inbabtants (of Oude) says the Post "wi be in6
nitely better protected under British than ever they
were under native" Owing u tho causes TO whi.s We
have Just alluded s IL kno'er u actua condition Of
the people Of Hndostan under their protectors Oc-
