said that ne regretted the death Of scott as much
as any one, but he could not give TO that death
the name of murder, nor term Lepine Riel
murderers. He could not condemn these brave
men VINO, believing they had homes, rights and
liberties TO defend, had stood up IN their
defence and Tor rher constitutional rights. They
were being overridden as were never people
before, but they mad recoled from the attempt
upon their nationality and other privileges, ana
the French Canadians OF Quebec should be proud
of the high spirited brethren they mad to boast OF

was the immediate OBJECT OF the meeting, but
