She crushed them to the earth, with overwhelming, burdens o f imjMst and arbi- irary taxations. , She denied her colonial de pendencies, their 'uduUettahlf: right, to raise in parliament the voice o f remonstrance, against her unholy proceedings. “ Our fathers, in'a tone of submission, peti tioned the tlirone to he heard, on the subject o f their grievances. But in vain. Their petitions passed by tlie ear of royalty unheeded as the \vhistlings df the idle wind.

Its electriC-flash darted through the hearts o f fhree millions. It was then that suffering humanity arose in her might. It was then that the cloak o f subservience was thrown off and the panoply ofresislaftce was girded on. “The performance of the grand drama com mences. The death of slaves, or the fife of free men, is the plot. Nations are actors. Trajic scenes of horror and despair,— scenes animated by the bright beams of hope, are presented. The curtain drops.
