that, I consider them, the most bloody arid
revengful people-on earth, and highly deserv-"
infj the execraUoo oi all Tnankind. Their,
uncultivated" and rude state may perhaps be
adduced by some a an argument in mitiga
tion of their, crimes.; bit this will not do:
their leaders have proved thetnselves capable
of drstinuishing between right and wrong,
and most of their efi'oVrnitics have been, the
effect of long and deliberate premeditation, .'
