although We do not pretend TO divine the
inscrutabIe designs OF Deity, although we
cannot say what may be the design of the

the scale of huDa nifty, and we go down or
they 90 up still higher, we leave these
qnestions entirely to the philosophical

that when Great Britain held her supreme
acy over the immense millions of India,
attempting by the dcspOtic power of force,
TO rule il by no amaIgamation of inter-

and into a common glory those untold
millions of Eastern men, but ruling by
force; and when upon the abstract pTOPo-

that the right was on the side of the In

as say. the right was on the side of the
East Indians. Why2 Because there was
this development OF our race, making them
little less than godlikc and divine, and be-
