About n century ago there nourished n nabob Of

British contingent OF Warren Hastings for S4oc,ooo.
After considerable bloodshed the coveted province
was annexed. For his share in this injurious
transaction in real estate Warren Hastings was I'M
peached for high treason. His peers acquitted HIM,
the East India Company pensioned him, the learned
bodies gave him degrees, &C.: he was made member
OF the Kings Priyy Council, and nj the mature age
or eghtytwo Warren Hastings died In peace and was
buried N Westminster Abbey with I'M n ..nnd
that his crimes were not committed with sensh
views, bnt for the glory Of England. Is there, them
different moral code for the crimes of nations anu
the crimes of individuals No. As politicians or
statesmen we have no right TO do things at when
we should blush US men Was it right FOR me unlled
ago one OF our fellow citizens plotted to steal CUBA
and he was elected to the Presidency. buchanan
did not misiuage America any more than Hastings
nsjudged England. Both were rewarded for their
political immortality. Burke, pleading the canse 81
the colonies, said, 1T Is not what lawyer t.lis me

70 do.n Having given numerous instances OF
the political immortality OF England The lecturer

Having held up Judas Iscariot, Captain Kidd, MT.

a stanch republican, and in conclusion more Than

Beside the parties at whose special request the
lecture was repeated not more than hundred per-
