taken it in the form most deadly 10 their wrong
doors They were not prepared for war-perhaps
they shrank from entering upon against the ap
parently fatal supremacy of England. But they and
their kindred constituted large element of the
Sipahi troops Of the presidency of Bengal. They
had ample opportunity and abundant motive 10
strike blow at the very heart of British power by
originating and melting general mutiny of the
Sipahis They have succeeded in this beyond their
most sanguine expectations, and may be stimulated
by the success of their first movement to follow it IN
by instruction and by civil war radating from
Aoudh throughout Upper India.
Sir Charles Napier warned his government that in
the Sipahis the apparent tower of strength was rea,
the weakness of England. But his warning went
unheeded.
England has not borne herself meekly in the pos
session of her vast power Forgetting that she rules
at the swords point hundred and fifty millions Of
human beings, totally destitute of political rights
reduced by her to a condition Of landless and hone
less servitude-forgetting all this, she foolishy
gives herself over TO self-righteous pharisaism Of
hypercriteal faut-lindng at whatever there may be
of inequality in the social condition of other coun
tries, such France, Italy, Austria Russia, Brazil
and the United States-as if there were not in the
monstrous fabric of her Indian empire combination
of all and more than all that there is of unequal and
unjust in the social institutions of all the rest Of En-
rope and America.
England has been blind to her own position inter
meddling right and left everywhere to pluck tho
mote from her brothers eye regardless of the beam
in her own. We trust that what is now occurring in
India will teach her lesson of moderation for
bearance, and modcsty; for we wish her well
We should regret to see that magnificent empire
Of hers in the East go down in conhagration and
carnage. That would be calamitous catastropbe
not surpassed even by the downfall Of the Roman
empire and we are not prepared to say that under
present circumstances it would be of any benefit
even to the people of India themselves We take
pride in the genius, military and civil which our
own race, the men of our own bloed and kindred
have displayed in the conquest and government Of
own growth the one hand in America and that Of
England on the other hand in Asia. II was only
when England had come to despair Of subjugatmg
America that she started into greatness in Asia And
her generals, when beaten by in the Revolutionary
war, redeemed themselves by new achievements, and
under other names drank, in India.

This is exceedingly provoking but we console our

The opposition claim with great confidence the
