PROTESTS AGAINST POLITICAL PRISONERS BEING TREATED AS ORDINARY CRIMINALS.
Ottawa advices state that amongst the letters received by Mr. M. F. reply to the danke which he sent out re- cently to a number of leading Canadians at the request of the Dublin Freeman’s Jour- nal, is one from Halifax, in which he lays down and argues at length the theory that in the treatment of prisoners a broad distinction must be drawn between political prisoners and or- dinary malefactors; and that an act of par- liament does not necessarily induce an ob- ligation in conscience. The Coercion Act in Ireland is but a police regulation and it is regarded as an odious tyranny; hence it cannot make a moral act au immoral one. If a government really and truly wishes to carry out 4 police regulation, it must do so in a manner to respect the honor and_ in- tegrity of its victims ; otherwise it breaks the moral law, sins against commutative justice and violates the fundamental prim {ciples of government. Always and every- where, even in uncivilized nations, the politi- cal prisoner enjoys immunities denied the criminal, but when a_ political prisoner only embodies the hopes and voices, the aspirations of a nation, the shame of treat- ing him after the fashion employed with sordid criminals is only equalled by its guilt. * His Grace concludes ; We in Canada would soon put an end to such tyranny. Could the indignities of Clonmel be perpetrated in our jails, they would be razed to the ground in twenty-four hours. Ne

ee John Bright and J. G@. Whittier.
In adespatch from G. W. Smalley, the London correspondent of the New York Tribune, in regard to the death of John Bright, occurs this passage that will be read with interest wherever the names of Bright and Whittier are honored :
What Mr. Bright liked, I have always thought in poetry-—-at any rate, in modern poetry-—was the sentiment rather than the poetry. There is no evidence that 1 know of that he cared much for the delicate art of Lord Tennyson, or for Matthew Arnold in all his force and purity. His favorite among living or recent writers of verse was Mr. Whittier. Mr. Bright and Mr. Whit- tier had much in common. Both were members of the Society of Friends. Both were abolitionists, and there were other likenesses on which I need not dwell. Mr. Whittier’s anti-slavery verst had endeared him to his Euglish co-religionist, whose en- thusiasm embraced much more than the anti-slavery verse of the American poet.
He admired the simplicity, the cour- age, the fervor in a holy cause, the
faith in great things which are among Mr. Whittier’s best gifts. He admired him altogether, quoted him, talked of him with delight One night at dinner—I! may be indulged in saying it was at my house — Mr. Bright turned the conversation tu Mr. Whittier. The ladies had gone to the drawing room.
** Of course you read Whittier.”
‘* Yes, I have read him.”
‘* But I mean, read him often. {Do you mean to say that you don’t kaow him by heart /”
‘* No, not much by heart.”
‘* Not his best things? Don’t you know ‘Snowbound.’ Can’t you repeat it #”
And upon a general admission from the four or tive that were present that no one of them could repeat it, Mr. Bright’s eye kindled, he got up, walked to the fireplace, pat his back against the chimney-piece, and declaimed the whole poem. I can see him as he stvod there, his beautiful face lighted up with the glow about him and the deeper glow within him; his voice subdued to the size of the room, but not less rich, deep, melodious and truce thaa if roiling out to thousands; his gesture, net frequent but decisive, and sometimes dramatic. Mr. Whittier never heard his own poetry so re cited. thought I should ‘ell him of the scene. I never did; but I hepe some one will tell him now. When Mr. Bright had 'tinished we went up stairs. He carried | Whittier with him, and talked of him to ithe ladies as he had talked to us; not, as I isaid before, critically, but with deep feel- ‘ing and real apprehension of what is best in him. Nor did it endthere. Mrs. Proc- ter, the delightful young lady of eighty, as Mr. Lowell cailed her. was there; alert, fresh, energetic, keen-witted as she always was. | think Whittier was new to her; not familiar, atany rate. She listened intently. When the company broke up she drove Mr. Bright home—gave him a lift is the phrase here. I saw her again not long after, and she told me that he repeated Whittier to her in the carriage all the way to Piccadilly; and when they had arrived, kept it standing ‘a minute or two in front of his door while
he firrishéd what Ne,had én hand.
