would have been honorable for the noble Lord, and happy for the thousands who have since killed unnecessarily, if he had considered that moderation is the mark of wisdom, and humanity an ornament to the highest sta- tion. These are the sentiments at least which have governed the Congress and people of the United States. They have wished that this war, into which they entered with reluctance, might be distin- guished by the humanity with which it was conducted, and that compassion might heal the wounds that were inflicted. The records of Congress, my Lord, are filled with proofs of tender care and attention, not only to the wants, but to the comfortand ac- commodation of their prisoners.
 "We have wished in vain to find such instances in the acts of the British government, for un- happily all we have seen on this subject is, the public declaration of the governor and general who was chosen to commence this war, that the American officers and soldiers should be treated with equal indignity, and all devoted. without distinction, to the most ignominious fate, in terms too low for us to repeat. We have never heard of this proceeding having been censured by the government from which he derived his author ity. Neither has the invitation to the Indian savages, at public treaty, to drink the blood, and feast upon the body of those whom you called your subjects, been ever disavowed.
 "Tt is an universal complaint, that the practices of those in authority under you, have been conformable to the principles of these public acts.
 "'COL. PARKER, 8 gentleman of rank, was thrown into a com- mon jail in Boston, covered over with wounds, where he perished unpittied, for want of the com- mon comforts which his situation and humanity required.
 "tCOL. ETHAN ALLEN was dragged in chains, from Canada to England, from England to 1re- land, from Ireland to Carolina, and from thence to New York, at a time when the officers taken from you, in the same expedition, were treated not only with kind- ness but every possible ndul- gence.
 ""The barbarous treatment of MT. Lovel, in Boston, has no par allel. Of the prisoners made in Fort Washington, two-thirds of them perished by the unexampled cruelty and rigours of their cap- tivity. Even in England, the se- veritieS which the American pris- oners suffer are, according to the

 Early in his life he had taught himself to read French, Spanish, Italian and Latin.
 In 1757 Franklin was sent to England to present the case of Pennsylvania vs. Descendants of Wm. Penn, who lived in England. This business kept Franklin in England for 5 years, and enabled him to travel on the continent and meet the celebrities of all Europe as well as the British Isles, and continue his studying. He returned to America in 1762; but soon serious questions were developing between the British Government and the American Colonies, and Franklin was sent back to England to represent, first Pennsylvania, and later also Georgia (1768) New Jersey u769 Massachusetts (177O making Franklin a kind of Ambassador Extraordinary for the Colonies to Great Britain"
 Franklin acquitted himself gloriously in his famous examina- tion before the House of Com- mons (Feb'y 1766) during the De- bates on Repeal of the Stamp Act-when he was asked 174 Questions; regarding which the 'Gentlemen's Magazine (July 176D says:
 "The questions are answered with such deep and familiar knowledge of the subject, such precision and perspicuity, such temper and yet such spirit, as to do the greatest honor to Dr. Franklin, and justify the general opinion of his character and abil- ities."
 Franklin remained in England aiding Pitt( Chatham) in his noble efforts of conciliation; but with the breach widening, he sail- ed for America March 20th, 1775 and was on the high seas when the fighting began at Lexington and Concord (April 19, 1775)
 On May 9th, the day following his return to Philadelphia, Frank lin was chosen a member of the Second Continental Congress.

testimony of every one we have seen, of the most greviOus kind. Stripes have been inflicted on some, to make them commit the deepest of all crimes, the fighting against the liberties of their cot1la- try. Numbers are now grooming in bondage in Africa and India, to which they were compelled by menaceS of an immediate ig- nominous death; as contrary to every rule of war among civilized nations, as to every dictate of hti- manity.
 "Tt is with the greatest regret we mention these cruelties. For the honor of humanity we hope they will not be committed again. Your Lordship must know, that 1t is in the power of those we have the honor to represent, to make ample retaliation upon the numer- ous prisoners of all ranks in their possession; and we warn and be- seech you not to render 1t their indispensable duty. Upwards of five hundred British seamen have been generously treated, set at lb- erty by our cruzers in these seas, and sent at the public expense to their country. We trust, you will think yourselves bound to dismiss an equal number of sea- men, taken in the service of the United States.
 "'We also desire, that a person appointed by us may have per- mission to furnish the subjects of the United States, who are in your prisons, with the necessaries they may want from time to time: and that a general cartel may be immediately settled, by which the unfortunate on both sides may be relieved as soon as possible from the miseries of imprisonment.
 "'We must beg a speedy answer, that we may transmit without de- lay, the determination of your Court to our Constituents.

8 towering World-figure for half a century before the outbreak of the Revolution. His writings were translated into many languages. Foreign universities had given him degrees. Monarchs, states men, scientists and scholars of Europe had vied with each other in seeking his acquaintance and doing him honor. Fashionable so- ciety courted him, and clever women were as delighted with the wit and genius of Dr. Frank lin as were the men.
 Just as Washington seemed providentially trained for his mighty part, so was Franklin wonderfully trained for the pecu- liarly important part he played in winning American Independence and founding 8 new Nation.
 At the age of A Gin 174S) Franklin had made a competence in his printing business with a yearly revenue of about 2,000 pounds. To enable himself to give his whole time to study and public service, he then entered. into a partnership with his fore- man, David Hall, who was to run the business relieving Franklin of all care of the printing office and paving him 1000 pounds aIl-
