consummated by this last insult and out

of a large number Of citizens of all par

furnish an occasion, such as is contem-
plated by the constitution.
And whereas, some of four sister States,
aggrieved like ours, are preparing meas
ures for their future security, and for
the safety of their institutions and their
people, and both patriotism and the
necessity of self preservation require
us to deliberate upon our own course of
action:
Now, therefore, |, Thomas 0. Moore,

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

As the Queen Of Ensland's oldest son has
made his appearance among Us plain Repub.
lcans, il is matter Of some little interest 10
recall the manner in whCl, the heir TO the
English Crown first obtained the title ol
Prince Of Wales, aud the history Of each who
bore il in former times.
Wales, a. no doubt majority Of our read.
ers are aware, was first annexed 10 the Crown
of England BY Edward |. That great and
warlike monarch saw with mure clearness
than any uf his predecessors had done the
great advantages TO be derived from the un.
ion Of the three Kingdoms constituting the
island Of Great Britain under one head, and
determined. II possible, 10 accomplish u. IL
:. the very beginning OF his reign he sought
quarrel with Llewellyn, the sovereign OF
/ Wales, who had favored the faction OF De
! Montfort. and, under pretence Of depressing
certain disorders on the frontier, marched an
army into his country. Not liking 70 reduce
brave enemy TO despair, he posted this ar
NV in such d manner as 10 cutuif the Welch
from the valleys and shut them up ia their
mountains, where they we're reduced to the
verge Of starvation. The unfortunate Llew-

cxpected. the exactiOns Of the English soon

Llewellyn was slain, chased his brother and

was annexed TO the Grown, and from that
time gave title 10 the King of England's
eldest son. These events happened 1880 q
1883.

in no way distinguished. while he still bore
that title. After his accession 10 the throne

nothing but his hatred to his father. That
amlable Prince returned the sentiment of his
dutiful son with interest. He became King
in 1877, when his son Frederick became
Prince OF Wales, and was the sixteenth.
Frederick died before his father in l75f,
and his son George, afterwards George
iii, became Prince of Wales.
George was the seyenteenthPrnce of Wales,
and succeeded to the crown in 1850. In
l762 his son George, afterward George w.,
was born. He was the eighteenth and the
present Prince is the nineteenth.
Of the Princes Of Wales some have been
travellers before. Edward Invent to France

the greater part ofhis time on the continent.
Henry, afterwards the sixth Of the name, was
born abroad. His son Edward fed abroad

Wales. Charles III. fled while his father was
still alive. George H.. while Prieee, never
travelled, neither did Frederick, nor George

York, and his grandfather, the Duke Of Kent
was Governor Of Canada. But neither of
these was ever Prience Of Wales.
