those who were in arms against their country.
The Government had given us protection il has
given US the means to educate our children, aud

provide means for arming and equipping the re-
giments formed and being formed, and lie hoped
that the Governor would do his duty and ac-
knowledge the principle that the will of the ma
jority should govern.
