of English history, Mr.. Davies well
knows, is lined with the bleached
bones of men who have had the cour-
age of their convictions, and died for
them. Mr.. Davies is convinced that
there is before himself "moraI ana
political crime" His duty at once
become clears. 1t may be said that he
will talk and will not fight. They
who say these words do not know the
depths of heroic soul. me vast en-,
ergy of solemn conviction, contained
in the language of these pamphlets
the "thunders of white silence,"
must, by an memorable law, burst
into action. Trifiers only, like NANCY
dogs who whine and bay at the moon,
! quarrel with events by a mere lip SER
| vice. Men, like the author OF these
pamphlets, first trumpet the call to
duty, and then pass into the silence
and energy of action, leaving the con-
| sequences to God.
Mr.. Davies, has for a. year, been
stimulating natives and whites to at
I tempt the restoration. Does ne IN
| tend to abandon them, and suddenly
retire to his secure English abode?
| Does he intend that they shall act on
| his convictions, and that he will not
| act himself? DIR. Johnson said That
Hume loaded blanderbuss against
| Christianity, and left shliilng 10
| hungry Scotchman to pull the trigger
| after he was dead. Will Mr.. Davies
prime these people for forcible restora-
| ton and then skip to safer CLINE
Will the presentation of copy OF
! these pious pamphlets, be q sufficient
consolation to the poor native, who
may act on Mr.. Davies convictions
and find himself in dungeon Mr..
| Davies should be the first man to crum-
tel
dynamite, and vindicate the courage
of his convictions. Upon his own
steed, with the energy of the Scotch
Covenanters, who, as McCaulay said,
defiantly marched to the mountains,
| with one hand holding aloft the ban
ner of the Church, and with the other
allaying cutaneous irritation, he Will,
either at the head of those whose
hearts he has fired, or alone with the
vast invisible and invincible major
ity which God has given him, dash
into and break up Col. Soper's mer-
cenaries, and prevail against the
gates of hell and of the palace yard.
Even the dead monarchy would,
surely, sit up for as moment in its
coffin, and wink its CHASTITY eye in
kindly approval of such heroism.
Mr.. Davies must succeed If he is
right. "One with God only is ma
iority.n lar. Davies never fails to
tell US that God is with him and
against us. Skeptics may say that
these letters, so precious in their de-
nunciation of missionary infamy, and
apparently surfeited with sedition,
are intended only to frighten Dole
and his associate fiendS, as the Chi
nese explode their firecrackers in
order to scare off minute devils which
infest their premises. but we believe
that they have a deeper meaning;
that they mean-to use phrase
preciate - they mean business"
| First the statesman, next the soldier.
First the pamphlet, Ext the sword.
We are, perhaps, on the eve or
great historic event. The hour is
probably at hand when Mr.. Davies
will prove to the world that the mon
archy, like liberty in its last analysis,
is the blood of the brave, and that he
will gladly stand an assessment of
his own precious fluid, in order to
furnish the sublime analysis "Craig-
sider may yet become the last rally
ing point of monarchy. AS Mr.. Da-
vies has behind him, native force
far exceeding in numbers those of the
conscience stricken poltroons who
control the Provisional Government;
as he has his own vast wealth at COM
mand; as the opinion or the world Is
with him; and as, above all, his own
and Mrs. Dominis' honor, both more
precious than the Holy Grail, to VIM
dictate, there should be no question of
his success. A rare opportunity like
this, to recover a "stolen kingdom"
is given to few, and he is thrice
blessed that the splendid achievement
will be his. IF, however, he should
fail, and fall under the volleys of
revolutionary guns, he will only sut-
fer as other great men have suffered.
If the soul of John Brown is now
marching through the corridors of
time, will not Mr.. Davies invite the
opportunity to put his own soul In
stately motion down the same corri-
doris, in friendly jostle with that of
the great slave emancipation?
! Upon the spot where he falls, If he
does fall, will not the descendants of
ROYALTY erect q commemorative shaft?
The brain of man can coin but one ep-
itaph upon it:
: "Too fondly | trusted
To throne that busted"
