EoN TARNisHED

Why should not the United States
wear the proud laurels OF being the
most civilized and enlightened nation
ON earth? England, in this day OF
enlightenment, Is daily executing the
Irish people because they revolted
against their government. and 1t
shows that in this respect they have
not advanced since the days OF the
dark ages.
A half century ago, when the lead
ers Of the Southern. Confederacy sur
rendered to their conquerors, his
tory does not recod any Of those lead
ers' executions. The patriotic men,
then at the head Of our nation, well
remembered that their forefathers
were rebels against tyranntcal and
despotic monarch. and extended to
each and all the olive-branch Of
peace, and gave them a clean bill Of
freedom, and the pages Of American
history does not show where the vic
tor executed the vanqudshed in whole
sale lots.
We read with horror OF the cruel
ties pfacttced by the Spanish inquisi
tion, the French revolution, and the
beheading OF the valiant Charlotte
Corday, and marvel at the atrocities.
The recent execution of these un-
fortunates Of Erin's Isle, will ever be
a blot upon the pages Of English hds-
tory, and will be condemned by all
broad minded and christian races.
