      - ' - - WILLIAM LY 0 N MACKENZIE . This celebrated CtaaiUn patriot is now lying in * & American prison ; though his paper * published in -Bacbester , is still earned oc We hare received - * wo numbers of it this week , through the kindness -of » private friend , which , though rather old , con-^ wn Borne matter which might interest our readtrs . The dates are January 11 and 18 , 1840 . We give "the following extract * : — 1 WILLIAM LY 0 N MACKENZIE .

      RESIDENT VAN BTJREN WILL PARDON MACKEXZEE IP PERMITTED BY GOVERNOR THOMSON !!! To Hetsn . WiUiam Gilmore and Robert Christy Secretaries of Vie Democratic Union Association , Thiladdfhia . Washington , December 2 Sth , 1 SS 9 . Gteaikmen , —On behalf of a resolution of the Democratic Union Association , for Messrs . Paynter , Ingersol , and mystlf , to call upon the President of the United States , and request his attention to a memorial relative to the pardon of William Lyon Mackenzie , it becomes tut i uir to say that we bare fully discharged the desire therein errre ^ sed .

      Tiie President , who is at all times ausious Jto gratify the wishes * of any portion of the people , regrets exceEulnjlr , that in the present jnnstare of pending negoclations vnth Great Britain , it woaid be improper to inr-pjfere with t ^ e action of our courts of justice , and theref jre at present coald not decisively move in coin-Piiancs-orith your-wishea . Every possible means hr . ve "been exerted to make the confinement of Mr . Macien-3 ie a nrasinal one , and to gratify his every wish , save bis releaas . My own private views are , that if the friends of Mr . Mackenzie wonld appeal to the magnanimity of-the resident representative of the British provinces in 3 > orth Aamca , ly his request , he would be released , aad relieve the question from the embsrrassment in ¦ which it seems involved .

Poulett Thomson , I'll never d * -grade them by asking it I -was opposed to the union of republican and monarchial forces to cfcase

      HiiHam Johnston round the thousand islands , and I den ^ lie joint jurisdiction of Presidents and Governors in Monroa County . I think the hist is Mr . Van . Baren ' s , because private information confirms , and the newsppers admit the fact , that he acknowledged , - when in this s : a " e , that he had asked the liberty " of certain Present mtn . since sent over from Fort Henry , &s a personal favour to himself , and on the suggestion of the Canadian aath . rlties , had ia a manner agreed at the « sme time never to liberate me -without the consent ci ¦ » h « Briiis ' i Governor in Canada .

      BAWDY HOUSE BULLIES AND PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGES . Every house , every institution , every class , community , and society , has its peculiar privilege The privilege of society is better defined than the laws ¦ which govern society . The privileges of society are bo strong , that even the privilege of Parliament would eeffer in a contest with them . Those who h&ve directed any attention to the ¦ r ecent prosecutions against proprietors of Bawdy Hoasos , have discovered , that those infamous

      institutions stand , and are supported , upon privilege ; which pr ivilege is enforced by an all-imponant gentleman , called the " Bully . " His business is to do every thing "for the good of the House . " To sustain the character of the establishment against all-attempt 3 to lessen or undermine it . To cater for its support , and pander to its infamy . If the visitor wishes to depart , and it Ekould be for the good of the House that he should remaiu , w Privilege " decrees that the good of the House requires his presence . If the visitor , upon the other hand , wishes to remain , but the good of the House requires his departure , privilege decrees , the buily executes , end his ousting is effected .

      So much for the privilege of one Houso ; and now let us consider how the privilege of another House has been attempted to be sustained-not h the House , and certainly not with tlie consent of the House—hut by "bullies" who take upon themselves the advocacy and support of their own privilege ; which privilege , we shall presently see hovr far they would confer upon others . We beg to be distinctly understood as not interfering , directly or indirectly , with the privilege of Parliament , further than is necessary to show the manner in which fashion

      is followed and custom prevails . The lowest draw- ! ing from the highest , the humble imitating the ex- alted , and all as it were governed by one description ! of privilege- or another—the question of Parlia- i mentary privilege is now growing to an alarming f height . Those who suppose that the matter is i drawing to a close , have been inattentive readers of history , and unprofitable observers of passing events . The forces are bni being ? 5 ^? 4 WM which the battle is to be fougat—the . ' machinery is ai Jf "' complete for bringiag the issue fairly before the COIilitry . The matter will not be allowed to turn

      upon the morality or immorality of works pub- j iished by Stockbale , nor yet upon his cha-1 racter for honesty or fair-dealing . No ; the simple questions at issue are—Whether or not those who make laws shall be more \ jKiwerfal than the law I Whether the House of j Commons shall be allowed the privilege of stopping i the course of law ! Whether an individual shall be I punished for doing that out of the House of Com-

      mons , which , if done in connexion -with the House , i is rendered innocent by privilege . ? " Whether to ' libel the House shall bo a high offence , . while to be \ libelled by the Houso is privilege r « £ Parliament ! I Whether an officer—a sworn officer—ahall play with ! the law at such fearM odds as " Heads I vrin , harp you Ipso ? " These are the questions to bo put at > kfne ? if the verdict is not " revolution , " wo shall I rejoice more than many of our u more loy&l ' brethren . "

      Nothing can be more short-sighted than to allow the House of Commons to proceed in this matter as if the country responded Uj . its ussumptioa of authority . It is exceedingly necessary that , upon j such a question , the popular will should be clearly understood ; and however mendicant plac » -bunters , " bullie ? , " and buffoons may attempt to mislead the House , and thereby endanger the rery existence of any privilege whatever , we tell the House that the whole country is against them , and that their privilege never can be defined , sustained , and made reeoeeaeable , bjt "bullies" boisteronsly warring for priyilege . * t - ;* jneeting , until the law becomes too strong for their lungs , and finishes with the

      reading of the Riot Act . If ever there wasan indecent , an unmanly , an hypocritical , & deceitful interference with the constitutional right of meeting , it was that offered on Friday week , by the Bullies " O'Ccwroxi ., Hciib , Warbcrto * , and Wakiet to the meeting called at the Freemasons' Tav » rn , to petition , on behalf of the illegally incarcerated Sheriff . Never did four bnllies cut a more ridiculous figure than these four gentlemen upon the above occasion , especially Daxiel . And why hei Because , as we shewed his villany upon the question of " cheap law " and " cheap government" very recently , we can now convict him out of his own j month , upon the question of interference with public J meetings .

      Hear the words of this modern JrsnxiAS , when au attack upon the Chartists served his purpose : — *• But what , " says he , " is their greatest crime , and : what most fully proves their unfitness for what they ask for I Not sithfied vrnh calling llidr ovm meet- i icgt and carniDg iheir own resolution ? , tLcy attend I and interrupt every meeting called by other par-

      MR .. HENRY VINCENT . We must again , in the strongest terms which we are capable of using , impress upon the people their imperative duty to this man . Vincent ' s is no ordinary case . It is one of the most hardened and nnblushiDg samples of Whig tyranny and injustice that has been exhibited . Mr . Vincent was untiring , and almost unceasing in his efforts to spread the knowledge of the principles of the Charter in the agricultural districts of the south-west . He became , therefore , the mark at which the shafts of despotism were lOTelledinBtantly . He was accused , tried , and convicted , of sedition ; the sedition proved against him being , that he said to the people , at the conclusion of one of his

      speeches" To your tents , 0 ! Israel \ lU' * There is no physical outbreak with which Vwcbnt was connected ; nor is there any pretence that he was so . He is not even accused of language , in his speeches , half so violent as that regularly and constantly used by the emissaries or creatures of the respective factions , both on the hustings and in the "House , " and through the press ; yet Vincent is sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for Sedition . ' He is now lying in Monmouth Gaol , subjected to a discipline of which our readers have very little notion ; so horrible , in fact , that , as was proved upon the trial , the brave Fbost and hia associates , after every legal means had been vaiuly tried fur its amelioration , went forth with their lives in their

      hands , to effect it forcibly , and have become the victims of their well-meant , but ill-directed , sympathy . Seven dreary months of this " discipline " have passed over , and the intrepid Vikcent offers no complaint . His paper , the Western Vindicator , which had been just established , and from which alone his pecuniary resources ¦ were obtained , has been put down by the strong arm of the law . He is thus left , therefore , destitute and helpless , in the hands of the mo 3 t merciless of all enemies—« U « r executive of class legislation takingvengeancoforpolitical offences—for the sin of truth telling . With five months of his imprisonment on the last conviction yet to serve , he is now under notice of trial for three other separate indictments . Notice was given him that the new indictments would be

      tried in London ; . he accordingly made what arrangements he could for there meeting them , but his persecutors again changed there minds , and he is to be tried , as we have before stated , at Monmouth , with , special jury . This is really a case in which the people should stir . We have heard of scarcely anything being done for Vincent , while there is certainly not ono man in the whole list of victims more eminently and emphatically worthy . We beg the country to read the following letter , which was addressed privately to the Editor of this paper , and we hope that they will surely then make some efficient movement : — County 6 ? aol , Monmouth , Ftbruay 14 , 1840 . *"

      My Dear Sie , —The Whigs have served roe with two more noticea of trial . - I know noVwbat . todo I wish you would -write a few lines for me , and qb&e tbe country acquainted with my presentCpositioa ^* -1 have above five months more imprisonment ip this gw > L to terminate my last sentence of twelve months j and J am now under three notices for trial , on three separate indictments—one for Monmouthshire , and two for Wiltshire . This cei tainly is a matchless piece of persecution ; and I tbink it ought to ba properly stated to tbe country . It is another instance < f the villany and b iseness of the Whig ^ faction . I cannot bave anything like fair trials unless the country back me up .

      I have received a letter , frttn Phutford , Oxfordshire , stating , that a sovereign had been forwarded to the Northern Star office for me , and that it was announced in the Star of the 8 th inst You will oblige me if you will forward that , and any other money you way have received , to me , immediately , addressed to Mr . Owen , solicitor , Monmouth , Monmouthshire . I am in good hcilth and spirits . Give my kind regards to Mr . O'Connor . Your 3 very sincerely , Henky Vincest . , Tho Rev . W . Hill , Editor of tbe Northern Star .

      We are sure that all we can say will add nothing to the simple , touching story of oppression told by this letter . We have sent Mr . Vincent whatever money we have received for him , and we nwfst repeat our expectation that the country will ndi ^ disgrace its name and character by failing ia . duty to this self-devoted man .

      without etfery whero perceiving indications , plainly mark e d , of anarch ; , of revolution , of dismemberment and of decay of Empire . We are now in the daily exhibition of the symptoms which haVe , by the testimony of all history , preceded the downfall , either of Empires , or dynasties and modes of Government , in all ages . We have society at horn * fast merging to a single contrast of overgorged wealth and hopeless poverty . We have the great mass of the people progressing by tho , spirit of the age in knowledge and discrimination , and consequently r is i ng in the sc ale of int e ll ec tual a nd mor a l bein g , while they are being constantly depressed lower and yet lower in the scale di wiihftnt ftrter * »^* ro ~ n »/ . «;^«» ;« j :-. «^» _« .: _ _

      of social life , and deprived of all their physical enjoyments , just as their intellectual cultivation fits them for the more just and full appreciation of them . This creates heart burnings , fears , jealousies , a consiousness of wrong , and an impatience of the evils thus endured , which "flaws the heart of loyalty , " and causes thousands of famishing and discontented people' to become ready for revolt in any form ; knowing that no change can mar the lot of him whose portion now is but unmitigated misery . Henco the growling tone and threatening attitude ; and the emeutes which , while thoy harrasa and annoy the government , do but increase the evib of tho discontented , by adding to the national burden of expenditure .

      Our Foreign and Colonial relationships present a prospect no more cheering than the Home vision-Glancing at our North American possessions , we receive tbe information , from Parliamentary documents , that our burdens have been increased by a sum amounting to not less than £ 2 , 000 , 000 , for the suppression , there , of precisely a like spirit of insubordination , arising out of conscious right , which wo see every where developed here . In Iudia , wehavo gained a viotory over somo native tribes , whose ' spirit could no longer brook submission to our hellish despotism , and the expenses of the warfare must be wrung from the sweat and marrow—extracted from the very life—of the laborious , that tho idle classes may enjoy the fame and benefit .

      In the South-west , our flag has been abused , molested , and contemptuously entreated by the squadrons of a neighbouring Power ; and we have tamely borne the insult because the recklessness of class Government had so involved us , that we dare not think of war , even though it Bhould be to defend our nation ' s honour ; at least , not of any war in which there was any probability of our being met with spirited resistance . The only wars England can now afford to wage are those of a buccaneering expedition against China , or a rare exploit against a half-armed horde of Indians , who

      present us in the position of a big lad boating a little one at school ; but the instant a boy within the head of our own size appears , he may hold up his "head and spit into our face with perfect safety , while we look sheepish and wipe off the indignity with a soiled napkin taken from the pocket . It is clear that the system of legislation which has reduced the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world to this pitiable state is not calculated to subserve the ends of Government , the happiness of the people , and the integrity of the Empire . The Government which is thus harrssed , and annoyed , and spit

      upou , cannot long endure . It is tottering to its fall , and if it bo not carefully prevented , it will , in that fall , involve the nation with itself . And let us be distinctly understood to mean by " Government" not the clique of individual kuaves and fools who now govern , or any batch of Whig , or Tory , or nondescript mongrel harpiea , who may come after them , considered as individuals . We mean the plan , the system , tbe mode , of making and administering the laws . Tho whole

      system of class legislation has been tried under the j £ ost favourable circumstances , and found wanting in all the essential requisites of good government . It ia incapablo of conducing to tho happiness of the people , of protecting the interests , or of maintainfog- ' the integrity , ol the empire . The Government must fall . The Government will fall . The whole thing will go to pieces ; and the only matter of solicitude to every patriot is the preventing of the dismemberment of the empire , and the setting of the sun of England's glory .

      Nothing can do this but a change of system—in other words , a revolution ; and tho great question is "How can this bo effected peacefully , safely , and with general advantage- This is the point towards which the people-must concentrate their powers of energy and intellect .

      Tho interests of all classes of the ptople , respectively considered , form , intheaggregate , the interests of the Empire . These can be cared for , effectively , only by a Government which emanates from all classes . All classes must , therefore , have the power of governing or the general interests must bo sacrificed . The principles embodied in tho People ' s Charter are those alone

      which can secure a Government of this kind , and henee the all-impprtaht object for the people is the euaefciett of the Charter . About this all aro agreed , or nearly so ; but tho means proposed for its attainment are various and discordant . We shall next week enter on an enquiry into them , with a view to the fixiug of the public mind upon some one plan of action , by which the nation ' s interests may be best promoted and secured .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 25 . Mr .

      Mr . Labouchere said ( in answer to Mr . Williams ) , that , aa the commercial treaty with France was still under negociation , it wns quite impossible for nun . to state what was likely to be the arrangement regarding English manufactured silk goods ; at taesame time , ha expressed the opinion that he thought tb <* £ . was a good deal of unnecessary alarm on this subject ; adding that it had nover been the intention of her Majesty ' s Government "to abandon the principle of an efficient protective duty . " Sir R . Jenkins called attention to tho petition of thfl East India Company , presented on the 11 th instant , " for further alterations of duties on articles of East India produce ; " and he , in consequence of such petition , moved eight resolutions , declaratory of the expediency of reducing tbe duties on sugar , tea , && , of East India growth , for the purpose of encouragement . ' Mr . Labouchere called on the House to pause before it pledged itself to these resolutions .

      Tbe discussion was of considerable interest ; but tha motion was disposed of by acceding to the suggestion of Sir J . C . Hobhouse , to reftr the Company ' s petition to a select committee . " [ The like course , it will be observed , was pursued , on motion of Lord Ellenborougb , iii the House of Lorda ] Mr .

Lord Stanley , in a speech of considerable length , although he avowedly did not anticipate any opposition , pointed out the evils of the present system , of registration of Parliamentary electors in Ireland , and moved for leave to bring in a bill " to amend iho . laws relating to the registration of Vvoters in Ireland . " " After some rather warm discussion , leave was given to bring 1 n the bill . Mr . Hume moved for returns , to continuation of former returns , regarding the number of electors in counties , towns , &c in England , Scotland , and Ireland . After much discussion , the House divided :- - the numbers were , for the motion 87 , against ft 79—majority , 11 . .

      Sir Fredrick Trench moved for Comparative Betorna of the Expenses of Lighting tne House"bjrfrhatw called the " Budc Light" and by wax caailles . The principal Return relatedtothe expense that had been incurred , by the use of the Bade Light , fr om if » first adoption until it was last superseded by the attention of the Hon . and Gallant Member ' s p an of nsiDglws candles and green shades .. ' : Mr . Warburton hoped the Hon . and Gallant Member would pardon him for comparing him to nothing else but " a hen with ono egg . " ( Great laughter , and cries of " Order ; " during which Sir . P . Trench repeatedly . took off his hat , and bowed to Mr . Warburton . ) The Speaker was sure thai the Hon . Member for Bridport must eee he was out of order , in making an allusion to the Hon . and Gallant Member , which was t * directly personal .- * - ( Koars of laughter . )

      Mr Warburton was willing to make any apology t » to the Hon . and Gallant Gentleman , but he had « i « 4 the objectionable allusion only because the Hon . and Gallant Member had 80 often brought the subject before the House . Sir F . Trench—I never brought it before tho Hous » until the experiments were terminated . Mr , Warburton hoped that the experiments tad * " ^ terminated . ( Hear , heari ) He could say , for hfqj jgg !^ that the heat and oppression occasioned by the cawtSjfg ? were inconvenient to him .- ¦ ' r' ...

      THE USE OF GOVERNMENT . The use of Government ia to preserve the happineBs of the people , and the integrity of the Empire , over which it 13 exercised . . ; Whatever system is incapable of effecting these purposes , is noMhe system to which the destinies of a people should bs entrusted . The factions who have for ages alternately mismanaged the affairs of England , while they o ^ arrei on all other subjects , agree always in the expression of their fears for the interests of the empire if power should be vested in the people

      It is worth while , therefore , to inquire what is the operation of tlieir system of legislation ? What is the position and what the prospects of the country under the blessing of their rule ! Are the people happy ! Are they contented and prosperous \ Do we stand well , and maintain our ancient proud position among nations ? Did not the subject filj the patriodc mind -with anguish . These inquiries gravely put , could scarcely fail to raise a laugh . No man , possessing common sense , and being given to observation , can cast his eyes upon tlio present state of our affairs , whether foreign or domestic ,

      THE « NO ^ THEEK STAR" PORTRAITS . Thb specimens of the Sp len did Portra i ts of Oastler , M'liouall , and Collins , are now in the hands of our Agents , aad will bear comparison with any which the art can furnish . The disagreeable situation in which we were placed relative to Stephena's Portrait has made us cautiouB , and , therefore , we resolved not to fix tho day for the preseatation of the above-mentioned Plates until they were at fall work , whereby we are enabled to avoid all chances of disappointment . Our arrangements are as follow : — We allow till Saturday , the loth of March , for receiving Subscribers' Names . Subscribers from that period will b « entitled to a Portrait in six weeks ; to a gecoad in two months from the period of giving the first ; aad the third after another interval of two months , which is the very earliest time at which they can be perfected . In one Eior . th from the last named period we shall present to our readers the most Spleudid Plate that art can furnish of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , together with Sir Frederick Pollock , and Messrs . Kelly and Thomas , Counsel for the prisoners . "We pledge ourselves that this Plata shall be of tho most splendid description . TVe , THE " NO , itwi ? . tjm ctap" pmi-ranTS

      shall then complete our promised series of Portraits by giving full-length ones of Henry Vincent , William Lovett , and Feargns O'Connor ; and when the entire is completed , the ralue of the Star Gallery of Portraits wili far surpass the amount expended in thepurchasa of the Paper . It must be distinctly understood that none but Subscribers will be furnished with Portraits at any price . It will be seen that we have extended the time for taking Subscribers' Names one week , to give time for the due circulation and posting of some large Posting-Bill 3 we are issuing , announcing the circulation of the Star , and the splendid gifts we propose .

      Those posters have this week been sent to our several Agents in Yorkshire , who are requested to see that they are duly posted . By Monday we shall have those for Lancashire in the hands of Mr . Heywood , Manchester , who will forward them to each Lancashire Agent . We shall communicate , by post , with the Agents for Oldham , Preston , Hyde , Staljbridge , Ashton , Stoekport , Sec , &c , a 3 to the number they are to receive from Mr . Hetwood .

      During the course of next week we shall have them dispatched for Scotland , Newcastle , Birmingham , London , and the South ; and shall state in next number to whom they are sent . We again request that due efforts be made by all to give publicity to the announcements . Every friend of ours will exert himself to see that this is done .

      THE FACTIONS AND THEIR LOVE OF ORDER . If there be any cone of a moral character more bitter and more universally blighting in its operation than all others , it is intemperance . In few , if any , countries has this curse been felt more bitterly than in unhappy Ireland . Surely , then , the beaming of the day star of temperance , fraught , j » it necessarily is , with so many blessed promises # f moral , physical , social , and political alleviations of the sharpest miseries # f nature , must bring with it , to the mind of every one who is not on incarnate devil , joyful gratulation and delightful ideas . In tpVrp ¦ nir t'virftctz mm mms r avp ^ c <

      Ireland the Temperance Reformation has begun ; and not merely so , but it is progressing at ft rate unequalled in the history of the world . Father Mathews , a priest , who has devoted to it his energies and influence has , in a very short period , added more than half a million to the number of those who have pledged themselves to the cause of sobriety and good order . Tho factions , and especially the Tories , are great sticklers for " morality " and religion (!) One should expect , therefore , to

      see them showing symptoms of sincere pleasure at the nows . But not so . They know that tbe domination of the few can be supported only by the vice and ignorance of the many , and hence they view the matter with alarm and jealousy . Several of the factious papers , both Whig and Tory , have endeavoured to throw discredit on the truly glorious movement of Father Mathews ; but the following from the Age of Sunday last leaves far behind in infamy and wretchedness all its most infamous and wretched compeers .

      THE IRISH TEMPERANCE PURCESSION . Ballggrowler , Feb . 10 . This has been a great day for Ireland ! <• A glorious demonstration '' for the Teetotallers , or rather the buttermilk-totallers , for tea is an exotic very little known at Bally-growler . The Apostle of Temperance , Fatbei Matthew , arrived here in the morning , and was met by at least 20 , 000 of the finest pisautry , all piously re-Eolved to eschew pottheen , and inundate their gastric apparatus with buttermilk . Ullagone ! to this complexion bave we come at last ; Guinness is at discount —whisky is anathema—the guager has a sincere employment—the distiller lias shut up shop , and the sftW-born Baronet , Sir John Barleycorn , is ex-P « rf-riated ! But hasten we to

      THE PUKCESSION . This was headed by 100 beggars . Banner—an ampty sack . Motto" Glory to the Bio Beggarman . " Next came on a bevy of bare-legged beauties from the Bogs ; a stalwart Amazon , bearing on a pole a tattered petticoat . Motto" The parts are equal to the whole . " —Eudid . A body of Priestheens from Maynooth succeeded , with three banners . The first represented St Patrick driving th « sarpints into the sea , with Motto" St Patrick ' s sarmints Kilt the . Saxon sarpints . "

      The second a tri-colour , bearing the names of the Popish Triumvirate , Wyse , Sliiel , and More OTerrall , with the appropriate motto « f " Tria juncta in you know . " The third , a green banner , with a likeness of her M kissing very affectionately the Pontifical toe .

      MotU" O ! Rome , my country ! " —Byron . A deputation from the Socialists . Banner—representing man and woman in their social state . Motto" Lovo , free as air , at sight of human ties , Spreads his light wings , and in a moment flies . " Pope . A deputation from tho Chartssts . Banner—representing a burning castle . Motto— " Feargus for ever !" Ten thousand Ribbonmen . Banner—a harp without the Crown .

      Motto" Through Leinster , Ulster , Connaught , Munster , Rock's the boy to make the fun stir . " John Tuau in full canonicals . Ten thousand more Ribbonmen . Banner—gallows green . Motto" Down with the Orange , and up with tho green ; The sight of a Saxon no more shall be seen ! Down , down —© range lie down )

      > JL -: ' ;¦ : THE PtBDGE . :. * T ' ptedge myself in tho name of Father Matthew not to tasto , touch , or smell to ale , porter , pottheen , or any tfyer spirity liquors . I pledge myself to iifcte the Saxon heretic—to belp O'Ccnnell for the Repale ; and to obey tho Pope ! So help me tator ! Amen ! The work Is going on bravely ! A leaden image of the Virgiu is suspended to the necks of the Ribbonmen , just as occurs with the banditti of Calabria Xhe pious motive is identical , and no doubt the effect will be tho Kama . Oh verra ! . .... ' .

      The wretch who is capable of writing this detestable balderdash on such a subject , deserves richly to be pilloried , and fed with boiling spirit , till his parched tonguo and fevered brain have tasted the full sweets of all the agonies he would perpetuate , sooner than hazard , by the emancipation of the slaves of vice , the permanency of the devil ' s rule of party .

Let the most effective , peaceful measures be concentrated , and universally and immediately acted upon . We must not despair .

Let all the measures thought of , or adopted , bo peaceful : and open . No secrecy—no more emeutes .
