'l'hese men are at the mercy of Turkey. and might, if the Sultan choost to do so. ho sent to the exeutioner and their places be easily sup plied, so that in their death the country would suffa* but. little loss. The Sultan is .what the Christians of the Puritan faith, who live in the New England States, would call a worsethatn heathen. He has not as good an idea of the Iruths of the Christian religion as the most ignorant of the negroes at. the South ; yet. with nil this, lie possesses the Christian virtuos-charity-nmercy humanity--"mngnnaimity. and exercises them towards his ignorant. he1then suhjects. Look on that picture-now on this In nn enlightened country. where Christianity is the only religion, and where a party formed on a platform of great moral ideas isin power, a mail charged with the crime of having led sit insurrection, and whose trial hais been refused, though asked for ever so miny times, is held in prison; still there is no voice lifted by any one of the leaders of-the party of-great moral ideas asking for release.
