Did Mr.. Seward get up in his place in the
Senate Chamber and protest against it in the
name of humanity? The atrocities Of your
soldiers in India, were only equalled in their
brutality by Nena Sahib himself. When

the order to ravsh the Sepoy women, and
then level their houses to the earth, human.

rights of civilization, for our statesman to re-

proud Of those Christian officers, and no won

the crimc England is not the land to give
America examples as to the treatment Of wo-
