plunged thousands Of Ofinnocsnt women and sbil
dren aud unoffsHding old citizens into the most
PFsFRaz. grief over the loss of parents, suns,
brsthsrs, or friends. Gsd will yet surely visit
The authors Of these accumulated evils with
righteous retribution. Yea: we see his hand
even now in the overthrow and dispersion Of
their bsasting hosts, and in the wretched fate
impending over the bsfiled and cenfsundsd con
sPirators themselves, Public Justice will, ere
long make the punishment Of the arch criminals
