do SO, if viewed from a Christian
standpoint. must be commended by
every person possessed of the true
elements of humanity. Gov. Upham

revengetul passions Of humanity; and
those who censure and scorn his last
service in the cause of common hu-
mainly must do SO against the
thunderings of Divine teachings from
the Mount, and the governor can
much better afford to listen to their
rawlings than they can afford to rave.
