red with the blood OF thousands shed
upon the tle,feld in opposing his
internal scheme of usurpation. We say
nothing of the alleged ulterior crime of

But taken as naked question of rebel
lion and treason: when did Great Britain
ever fail to visit the last vengeance of the
law upon her own traitors, whether at
home or abroad Let the times produce
us one instance fit to be drawn into COM
parison for q moment with our own re-
bellon, and it will have ransacked history
to some purpose. Why, less than thirty
years ago, 1--WE presume that is recent
enough to be called "modern bistory,") J
in the Canadian Rebellion of 1888. Great
Britain stained the scafolds Of that Prov
ince with the blood of fourteen convic-
ted rebels" (three of whom had been
American citizens, transported twenty
seven, and banlshed without forms OF
trial about two hundred more. Upward
Of 750 political prisoners" were con.
fined at one time in the jails of Montreal
alone. That is the way England pun
ishes ebellion-wheneve she finds her
self strong enough to put it down. And
yet " modern Europe affords but one
precedent for capital punishment in such
case % Oh, Pecksnifian moralist of
the Times, is there any hypocrisy too
gross, any lie too barefaced, for the
consummate brazenness Of your counte-

In the Irish rebellion of 1898 it is
notorious that England hung men in
droves, after drum-head Courts martial
and judicial " Courts Of Inquiry" This
was done months after the insurrection
was effectually quel!ed, and when the
disproportion between the powers of the
Government and the feeble forces Of the
rebels was SO great as to take away all
pretext orexcuse for severity, as safe
guard for the future. The pages Of
"modern history are stained with no
blooder or more cruel record than the
political vengance which heEnglishmeh
of 1898 visited upon their own country
men and blood. Atrocities are there
recorded such as make the blood tingle
with horror. Even othe fendish cruel
ties of the Southern rebels toward our
loyal prisoners have their parallel in the
treatment experienced by captive Irish
men in those days, as we'll as in slow
starvation and suffering of the American
Revolutionary prisoners murdered in the
hulks of Jersy prison ships and the mar
tyr-holds of Wallabout Bay. Verify, for
a nation with such a history to be
preaching mercy and moderation to US,
is monstrous example of "Satan rebuk
ing SIM" No., no, Mr.. Bull, we know
you little to we'll to accept either your
facts or your advice, without question.
Keep your charities at home, for the he
roes of the next Irish insurrectlon or
Chartist uprising, for you will need it all
one of these days. And ifany additions
reason were needed for hanging the head
of the rebellion, there are many who viii
find it in the fact that England wants
him pardoned. 10 dioa eaJ e.at
