has merged in general praise for the
enterprise and foresight which
snatched' this great historic monu-
mont from tho ruin which time and
inattention would inevitably have
brought upon it. The walls of this
old prison have been made holy by
the suiferings of 10000 men. who
sickened and starved and died in the
cause OF human liberty. Like the
shrines of the martyrs the building
is sacred. Each beam is cross upon
which humanity was crucifed for
the benefit of the future ages, each
brick is sharp stone over which
human feet pressed n painful path
to emancipation. All praise TO the
men who have preserved this gi-
gantic object lesson for the study of
posterity, aud who have crowded
its walls with so much that is won
derful, valuable and instructive.
