ked in mid-carcer by the South, it would have accomplished all this and more. It would have lighted again the flames of the stake and re-enacted the atrocities of the days of Cromwell. No one can doubt this who has witnessed the savage ferocity of Puritanism towards the South in this war. If it can commit such crimes against its own race, and Protestants; if it can hang, like dogs, grey haired and exemplary members of Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, like Dr. Wright, of Norfolk, and David Creigh, of Greenbrier, what would it not have done if let loose upon the trail of "pagan Papists?" And now behold the contrast! Not a decade has past, and the foreigners whom it was frantic to worry and the devour have become the objects of its special idolatry. Whereas it once looked upon the salvation of the country as involved in keeping them from coming here, it is now ransacking the continent of Europe and the isles of the sea to bring them to America.

The more wited with the retribution such a crime deserves. Mr. Creigh was an old man, the son of an Irish gentleman, whr, commanded the respect of the whole community. Mr. Creigh had a large family, who walked in the footsteps od over him in the wildest political convulsions, David Creigh could not have been overlooked. Yet this was thmal case of the beloved Dr. Wright, of Norfolk. David Creigh, in his secluded mountain home, was sought out ider the canopy of Heaven which would not justify David Creigh in killing an assailant under such circumstanceserals, and, on the late Hunter raid, they seized David Creigh for this defence of his children and himself, dr Are we to have more such victims? The case of David Creigh is not the last, unless, by our future action, w
