A REPLT FROM THE DEN.
"As to the English people, they profess, we •are aware, a horror equal to ours for those -crimes which are prepared among them, to be executed among up. ##'*'" I n London there are held meetings where assassination is glorified. In London are sold atrocious libels in which the murder of the sovereigns of Europe is elevated into a system, in which thrones, altars, armies, laws, the magistracy, society, ; and God himself, are dragged through blood and mire. Such Saturnalia surpass even barbarism."—L'EjlPEßET/E NAPOiEON 111. ET Angleterue. "We encourage assassins! Fair Sir! Have no fear. No hold has the murderer on sympathies here. England loathes an Assassin and. loathes him no less, "Whether shameful by failure—or great by success— "Whether hiding from sight—or set high on a Throne— "Whether killer of thousands—or killer of one— Whether bribe, or revenge, or the hope of a name, ■ -Or the dream of a "destiny," "damn him to fame." . Whatever the prompting, whatever the, end— Has he slaughtered a People he swore to defend; Has he banded with ruffians like him to strike - .At a brother Assassin—we loathe him alike! E'en where, Cain-like, by Providence guarded from ill, With a mark set upon him that no man may kill; ■ Where prosperity seems all his projects to crown* "We've no faith in his Favor—no fear of his Frown; Undismayed by his Fortunes— unawed by his Fate— We smile at his " Destiny"— watch him, and wait.
