APPEAL TO THE FRIENDS AND syMpATH1zERs OF THE REV.
JOHN M'MAHoN, NOW A STATE PRISONER IN CANADA.
At meeting of sundry citizens held at Lafayette Indiana
the 10th day of August 1867 for the purpose of organic
ing proper the liberation of the Rev
erend John McMahon, State prisoner in Canada,
the undersigned Executive Committee appointed to
superinend such might accomplish the object
and cooperation and action among those interested III
the fate of the above named sufferer.
1t will be remembered that the Rev. John McNlahon, a
Church at Anderson Indiana seized as prisoner by the
British forces at the battle of Rdgeway during the Fenlan
invasion of Canada last year. and subsequently tried as
Fenan raider by Provincial Court which, in the face OF the
strongest exculpatory evidence found him guilty, and
fenced him to be hung-a sentence which was afterwards
committed Imprisonment for life at hard labor; under
which he serving State convict IN the State prison
at Kingston Canada West
AS the circumstances connected with the trial of public
nooriety deemed necessary enter into details here
Suffice say that it clearly shown the accused
non-combatan and guilty of greater oense than that of
administering spiritual consolation to wounded and dying
of the Fenan forces in the battle and that his connection
with the invasion was accidental and compulsory.
In view of these facts and the cruelty of the
adudged against him. his has excited wide and
sympathy throughout the country Private petitions to the
British authorities for his pardon have been numerous but
have failed and may be said to be of avail The only
probability Of receiving has freedom lies in the intercesOn Of the
United States as q nation.
For this purpose the Legislature of Indiana passed joint
resolution last winter nstucng the Senators and repee
aves from that state their efforts in Congress secure
his liberation. This resolution has been presented to the
House of Representatives and it, and all other petitions IN
behalf of the party have been referred for a 10

Senate in which body there probably doubt of its sue
cess is very sweeping measure and all calculated
increase the confidence of the Pope in the Italian Govern
ment to whose protection he has been turned over by the
willy Emperor of France. The Ministry made the passage
of this question of life DEATH and the all but
unanimous vote in its favor in the popular branch of the
National Legislature reveals the great religious revolution
that has taken place in Italy and the indifference of even
the protested friends of the Church to its TEMPORAL welfare
The great majority by which the bill was passed seems to
have been the result of kind of compromise between
Ratazz the Minister and the leader of the Opposition by
which, probably the latter is to some political oye
