Bboiheb Democrats , —Events of a most extraordinary and awful nature have traii . pired . during the Sst few weeks , through the mflaence of which , aided by the combined factions , Tory and Wide , those who have been foremost m the advocacy df the rights of mankind have been marked eat bythe harpies of Government as fit objects for proseexile those
cution , imprisonment , and . Amongst who were foremost in the holy e&ase of a nation s redemption , was to be found our jrortbr w-patnot and colleague , Peter Murray M-Douall , a stern , nuflinchinTdemcKjrat , brave in times of penl , honest in bis intentions , and of a sound and discerning jadinsent . flaring earefaUy Tiewed the circumstances over , and seeing the necessity of filling up the Tacancies that may occar from time to time in the Executive Committee , we recommend to the country the following suggestions : —
. firstly— To take into consideration the necessity of filling up the vacant seats in the Executive , instanter . Secondly—Out of the whole list of Candidate put in iomhtation , those li re that hare the greater comber of votes to be held in reserve , and whenever there occurs a vacancy , the candidate amongst the five who had the greatest number of rotes to be called to the vacant * eai , and so in succession until the last of the five should be called , if there should occur successive vacancies . But in all cases the rightful elected member to resnme his seat if he is able and willing to do so . Brethren , we are aware that this is an addendum to the plan of organization . This Jine of policy , we believe to be in strict accordance with the principles of the people ' s Charter . But as this matter appears
to hs to be one of very great responsibility , we must await with anxiety the sanction or rejection of these suggestions by the votes of the Association . As the pro Um .

UBA 3 HNSTON . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Warwick and Leamington , it was resolved , " That tne thanks of this meeting be given to the Executive pro . tern , in the hope that they will continue in that office until the fate of the other members is decided . Twelve shillings was handed in for rafile tickets for the General Defence Fand ; half a crown for ditto , from Mr . W . of Warwick ; and five shillings for Mr . White ' s snpport . Money matters having been settled , an interesting discusaon was held on the question— " What would be the duty of the Chartists in the event of the Corn Law League renewing their agitation f and ultimately the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this meeting being convinced that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the
working classes without a repeal of many other bad laws and legislative protection for our labour , we , therefore , cannot sympathise with , or countenance the Corn Law League or any other party who wHl not agitate for the People ' s Charter , and" which , in our opinion , is the only means of securing evenhanded justice for the whole people . That we deem it tfae duty of the working classes to avail themselves of every opportunity that presents itself to propagate and defend the principles of the Charter , and to cultivate public opinion in favonr of it by all peaceful and legal means , by reason and argument , and by their urbanity apd rational conduct towards all those who may differ from them in opinion . That seeing the working classes are unjustly deprived , of the right of citizenship and the use of -ibe public
buildings , for which they are taxed and which are supported by their industry , we hold that whenever a public meeting is called in any building that i 3 public property , for lecturing , &c , they ( the working men ) should attend and there maintain the right of the majority to approve of , or reject any chairman that may be proposed ; and that the usages of society requires a chairman to preside over all such meetings ; bnt , in case of lectures being delivered in private buildings , we hold that such affairs should be regarded as private property , and that parties delivering lectures under such circumstances lave an undoubted right to make what arrangements they please , and should not be interrupted . The discussion was smpported well by Messrs . x-awfred , Stanley , Grantham , Arkins , Wild , Donaldson , and others .
STBOTJD . —In this town , as elsewhere , the friends of true democracy have had , and still contbne to enconnter , many difficulties , and opposition of no small magnitude . Our little crew , having suffered worst from want of employment , felt much discouraged and indifferent as to the result of their eier obtaining their political rights . Our pilot being " Troth , " our helmsman " Justice , " and our compass " Love , " we waded on through many difficollies , and partially passed through the cesspool of corruption , when we ventured to hoist the colours of true democracy ; and , nailing our colours to the Bast , we have commenced battering down the tents of tyrants by means of subscription books beiog taken into the camp of the adversary . We hope every maa of liberty and love to his country will make it a duty to contribute to so noble , so patriotic , and so good a cause . Mr . Millsom , of Cheltenham ,
lectured here on the 20 : h , and gave great satisfaction . If every man worked like him , the rights of the poor would speedily be obtained . Since he commenced kemrme , he has walked 1 , 500 miles at the expence cf himself . Our weekly meeting was held on Monday night , at the Globe Inn . The following resolutions were moved and carried unanimously : — u That we hail with delight the noble example shown by the men of London , and pledge ourselves to woik with them , to accomplish the g lorious -victory of right over might , of justice over injustice . "— " That we deem it contrary to the rules of the Association to elect a fresh Executive until the time is expired , which , according to Article 14 tb , ib in February , 1 & 45 ; and that we consider the Executive pro tern ., in London , quite sufficient until such time as the members of the Executive are at liberty to cooperate with it . "
BlBRTBYR TTOVXI *—At the usual weekly meeting of the Charter Association , Mr . Matthew John in the chair , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — ' That we , the Chartists of Merthjr Tytivil , deem it our bounden duty to use every means in our power to snpport the families of our patriotic brethren that have fallen victims to tne iron band of tyranny ; and fnrtber pledge ourselves never to cease our exertions tiL ! they are restored to their homes and their families , and the Chsrter the law of tbe land . " As a token of their sympathy they have sent £ 1 to the office of t * ie Evening Star , that is , 10 s . to Mrs . Ellis , and 10 s . to the National Defence Fund .

Burley , seconded by Mr . J . Webster , supported by Mr . W . Beesley , and unanimously adopted .

MANCHESTER—Carpenters' Hall—On Sunday last , Mr . Tlios . Dickinson , the Manehester Packer , delivered two powerful lectures , in which he showed up the folly of attempting to pat down tbe agitation for tbe Charter by the display of military , and the calling into requisition an unconstitutional police force , who act in tbe deuble capacity ef bludgeon-men and hired spies . Mr . Dickinson then gave a lucid description of the evils resulting from class-legislation , and showed most clearly that nothing but tbe adoption of the People ' s Charter would give anything like permanent relief to the toiling millions . The lecturer then
alluded to the connection between Church and State , and related several anecdotes in illustration of this part of the subject . He concluded by a feeling appeal on behalf of those parties who had been pounced upon by an arbitrary Government for their advocacy of the great and good principles contained in that imperishable document called the "People's Charter . " The afternoon lecture was we ! l attended , and in the evening the spacious Hall was crowded , and the lecturer received the thanks of bis numerous auditory , who retired highly delighted , after a liberal collection had been made to meet the current expences of the Hall .

John Miller "was , unanimously elected delegate to the Metropolitan delegate meeting , to co-operate with Mr . Maynard . A deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr . O'Connor , with a letter of condolence from the members , in bis late affliction , and also requesting his assistance in this locality at tbe first convenient opportunity . The thanks of the locality were given to Mr . Cleave , for presenting us with , fifty Pamphlets and one hundred Circulars , the proceeds to go to the victim fund . The evening was spent in discussing , in a friendly manner , the best means to be adopted to agitate for the Charter in this locality . It ia earnestly requested that all members will attend on Monday next , at half-past S 6 ven o'clook , when a discussion will be opened , —What are the probable means to ba used to gain the Charter ?
Mile End . —Thto locality still continues weekly to increase in numbtrs . Spirited and enthusiastic lectures are delivered two or three nights in the week ; each adding some new members to our ranks to assist us in the good old cause of Chartism , which , notwithstanding the recent persecution , holds up its mighty and unconquerable head above the waves of prosecution . Newington . —A . numerous meeting of the Chartists of this locality took place at the Crown and Anchor , Walworth , on Tuesday evening last , when a rery animated discussion took place . Several persons very ably addiesaad the meeting , which broke up at a late hour , highly satisfied with the proceedings . —Mr . Rainsley was announced te lecture on Tuesday evening next , on the People ' s Charter .
BIRMINGHAM—Aston STREET . —On Sunday night , Mr . Cowan in the chair , after a long discussion , in which Messrs . Sanders , Linden , and Williams took part , a resolution was passed , requesting the council to convene a delegate meeting of the district , to consider the best means to be adopted for the obtaining a better organization . Gkand anc Glorious defeat op the Anti-Corn Law , and Complete Guffrage LEAGUes . —The town having been plentifully placarded by the Anti-Corn Law League , calling a publio meeting Of the friends to cheap bread , for Tuesday night , half-patt seven , at that hour the publio office was crowded to excess . On the secretary to the Anti-Corn Law Association , making his appearance on the platform , Mr . David Potts moved that Mr . Follows , hair dressdr ,
Momnonth-atreet , take tho chair , which having been duly seconded , was carried unanimously , amidst rapturous applause . Mr . Follows said he hoped , as they had eiected him to the onerous office of chairman , they would allow every one a fair opportunity of expressing their opinions upon the important matter they were called upon to consider . He then requested the secretary to read the placard calling the meeting . The Secretary of the Birmingham anti-Corn Law Association then read the placard as desired , and proceed to state that , having been the chief instrument in calling the meeting , he considered it to be for the free traders only . Mr . Sanders said it was probable there were many persona present who did uot rightly uaderstand what was meant by fiea trade , and that it would be better for all parties to be heard ,
whether free traders or not , for that it was only by discussion that truth was elicited . At this state of the proceedings , Mr . Bright , of Rochdale , and Mr . Paulton , anti-Corn Law lecturer , accompanied by two magistrates of the borough , ascended the platform . Mr . Smith Linden said , that he believed that certain parties who originated tho meeting thsught by getting Mr . Gaorge White out of the way they could steal a march on the Chartists , but he could tell them he was not afraid of Panlton , Acland , or any individual they could bring forward to defend and expound their nostrums . The Chairman then called upon Mr . Bright , who commenced by stating , that there was a time when there was only one party of reformers Lin Birmingham , bnt be was sorry to find that they were now split up into sections . The
country used to look to Birmingham as a centre , and he believed now , with Manchester , the two would do more than all the other towns in tbe kingdom . The latter , at present , took the lead , but would willingly resign the honourable position to the men uf Birmingham . [ Mr . Josh . Scholefleld , M . P ., here ascended the platform , and was received by cheers from the respect ables , and a volley of groans and hisses from the working men , amidst cries of " Where ' a White ? " ] Mr . B . said they had all heard of the pattern turn-out . . at Ashton and elsewhere . Who bad caused them ? ' The Anti-Corn Law League had been instrumental in preserving the peace of the country during the recent strikes . ( Great hissing , and cries of " Who stopped the mills ? " ) Many , he said , had been forced from the he land of their birth by the iniquitous Corn Laws , and
gavea long rigmarole stery about Joseph m Egypt . ( 'Any old woman would tell us as much as that , " and great laughter . ) The meeting now showed symtoms of impatience , and Mr . B . said had he been in Manchester he could have obtained a hearing . ( Cries of " Stephenson's square to \? it 1 " ) Yes , he would tell them some thing about-Stephenson-square ; the disturbances which took place there were caused by the money of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos , sent down by Dr . Sieigh and ChaileB Wilkins , barrister-at-law . They never would be prosperous without a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( " The Charter . " ) He then made the moBt vituperous attack upon the leaders of the people it has ever been our lot to hear , charging them ¦ with being in the pay of a Tory government , whose tools they were . The meeting would hear no more , and Mr . Bright sat down .
Mr . Farkes , Christian Chartist , then rose . He thought the gentleman who had just sat down had taken up a deal of their time in useless rigmarole . He did not believe the parties advocating the repeal of the Cora Laws were honest . If they were , why not assist the working men in getting the Charter , and then they coald easily repeal the Corn Laws ? Mr . B . had said there was no other law which pressed upon the industry of the working clasaea but tbe Corn Laws ; but he could tell him that the laws of entail aad primogeniture pressed , heavily upon them . He would not give up his right to tbe Suffrage , and he contended that the Corn Laws never would be repealed until we had the Charter . He said it had become fashionable with " gentlemen" of late to charge the working men with tyranny . Judge Tindal , in the recent trials ,
had done the Bame ; but those individuals may go a step too far in their abuse . He hoped they would go for nothing less than the Charter . Mr . Saunders , in a speech replete wUh good sense , mo ^ ed the following resolution : — " That we , the inhabitants of Birmingham , in pnblic meeting assembled , do consider the corn , provision , and every other law that presses on the industry of the people obnoxious , and ought to be abolished ; but that this meeting feels satisfied that they never will be repealed until the People ' s Charter becozaea the law of the land . And we call upon all sincere lovers of liberty to use their utmost exertions in every ward to return members to the town
conncil pledged to cany out the above principle . " This was seconded by Mr . George Ellis , and carried ¦ with three dissentients , amidst great applause . Tbe meeting was then addressed by Mr . Wm . Parkea anil Mr . Linden , asd a vote of thanks was given to tbe Chairman . Tbe Chairman in returning thanks , said he iras sorry to have heard the working classes abused as they had been that evening by the Corn Law party . After cheers for White , O'Connor and the Charter , the meeting quietly' dispersed . So discouraging was the reception the Leaguers met with , that though they bad a hest of Bponters in the rear , they dared not bring more than one of them forward .
KIREHEATON . —The Cbaitists of this place met on Sunday last , iu their room , whtn the regular routine of business was gone through , and Mr .

Moved l 8 h—That the ChartiBta of Scotland be Incorporated into a National Association , to be conducted by an Executive Council of Beven , who shall be ohosen and reside in Edinburgh , the Secretary only to be paid for his services , and that a sub-Secretary be appointed , in each of tbe large towns , to correspond with the Executive Conncil , and give such advice and information as they may think useful . Such sub-Secretaries to have the power of attending tbe meetings , and taking a part in the business that may come before the Executive at any time they please , or may deem
necessary . " II . —That the Seoretary shall receive £ 1 per week , until the Association is fully in operation , when he shall have a permanent salary of 30 s . per week , and whatever he mayreeeive for lecturing or otherwise serving the osuse , to go to tbe funds of the Association . The duties of the Secretary shall be to conduct the correspondence of the Association , and superintend thu publication of a monthly periodical to be called the ' Scottish Chartist Pioneer , " which shall be a record of the progress of the cause , and contain as much useful information regarding the movement , ascau be collected . The price to be twopence . I II . —That Mr . Robert Lowery be elected Secretary pro . tent , and that all the localities in the country be requested to transmit him a statement of the number of copies of the Pioneer they will require , with the money in advance , this being necessary to ensure the stability of the paper .
IV . —That we recommend those parties who have adopted memorials to the Queen , to have them transmitted to the Committee in London , for presentation ; but we cannot advise snob places as have not adopted them to incur expenoe in getting up meetings for that purpose , and we instruct the Secretary to write to the Committee , requesting them not to spend their money in useless procesniocB at their presentation , when it is so much required for the defence of those who are about to be tried for the advocacy of our principles , and tbe support of their wives and families . V . —That in consequenct of the Conference which is to be held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December , not being convened , in accordance with the principles of Universal Suffrage , we cannot approve of the Chartists sending Delegates to take a part in its deliberations .
VI— That we impress on the country the necessity and duty of raising a Fund for the defence of the Scottish Chartists who are about to be brought to trial , and for the support of their wives and families , and that after a sufficient sum bas been collected for this purpose , that a National Fund be established to provide for the dtfanoe of all who may suffer for the advocacy of our principles , and all bums obtained for this purpose be sent to the Secretary , with instructions as to to how it is to be applied . VII . —That we recommend the Chartists to maintain the sacred right of public meeting against any illegal
interference of arbitrary aathority , by taking care to call them , on a ll occasions , in a proper manner , according , to law , and when interfered with to take proper evidence of the same , and meet and take means to prosecute the parties , and-petition Parliament to impeach the Home Secretary who sanctions and supports such arbitrary infringements of our constitutional rights . VIII . —That we recommend that the members of the National Association pay one penny per month , to enable the Executive to carry on the business , and engage lecturers for the promulgation of our principles , and the advancement of the cause .
IX . —That no lecturer be recognised or employed by the Chartist body unless he can produce a card of membership , and a certificate of good moral character from tho locality to which he belongs . X Tha' no great object affecting the general interest of the Chartist body be decided or acted upon by any mere section of it , unless the opinion of the whole bas been consulted , and a decision given in its favour , through the medium of the . officers appointed . XL— -That we call on the people of Scotland in every town and village to raise money by subscription , and every other advisable means , to liquidate the debts incurred by the late Central Committee for Scotland , so as to relieve their worthy Treasurer , Mr . Robs , from the heavy liabilities incurred on their behalf . We also recommend the various committees to urge upon the agents indebted to the Chartist Circular , to pay up their several accounts immediately , and to remit them to Mr . George Roas , Prince ' s Street , Glasgow .
In the hope of a ready and loud response to our call , aware that yon feel the necessity of establishing an organ , and defending your opinion through the press , v » e present to you the
PROSPECTUS OF THE SCOTTISH CHARTIST PIONEER , TO BE PUBLISHED MONTHLY , PRICE TWOPENCE . The " Chartist Pioneer , " as its name imports , will be unceasingly devoted to establish the principles contained in the People's . Charter as the law of the land , not less from our firm conviction of the just rights of the unrepresented , than from our conscious feeling that the happiness of every clasB depends on the establishment of justice in all their political affairs or institutiens . In pursuing this , cur determination , wo will not allow ourselveB to be tempted to the right ^ ojrjhe left iuto the crooked paths of expediency : firmly , but temperately , we will ever insist that the one great principle of equal right shall always take precedence of every other political subject , being convinced that it is vaiu to expect good laws from a faulty and unjust representation , and that knowing the machinery to be wrong and s » orn oul , it is foolish to spend our time in altering and mending its imperfect work or produce , but that we should rather remove its imperfections ,
which ara tho cause . In conclusion , we ask every lover of Freedom , to ponder on the various circumstances connected with onr position ; on the practical plans we here lay before him ; on the design of the publication announced in tho above . Prospectus ; and we are convinced that he will be no and ioing . Whoever wishes to labour in some good and " honourable cause , that his life should be passed in advancing bis country ' s good , and after death that his name sbuuld go down to posterity in connection with st / inething great , glorious , and good ; let him remember that the earth presents no scene more sublime , nor man no attitude more ncble , than that of a person asserting his sacred rights , and struggling to be free from the bondage of oppression . Let every fireside and workshou become the schools to leach these rights and
duties . Let mothers teach tfceir children the dark catalogue of the gufferinga at : d wrongs their fathers and themselves have borne , so that they may bear the numory of them as lessons unto J . fe'a last breath- Let fathers think they ever see their children ' s tioy hands uplifted , tl . eir wives' beating , breaking hearts and tearful eyes , praying and pleading their manhood with all the eloquence of woe , to aave thtsm from slavery and its sorrows . Let the old hoary-headed man use his last remaining powers to urge the sacred duty ; telling those qround him that he deemed this advice tb . 3 richest legacy te could leave them . Let young and old thus joining , breathe one fervent prayer to heaven for help and strength to break oppression ' s bonds ; scatter to the winds the power of man ' s destroyer ; and on their ruins build the Throne of Right and Justice unto ail .

FREE PRISONERS . Quis ialia legendo temperet alachrymis . TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE . ' Sir , —I will not offer you any apolop for th \ 3 letter , for I think , that upon perusal , it will 03 found to contain matters which describe the oondition of the people of Scotland , more cloarly than any publication has yet done , and that iu consequence it must have the effect of arousing us all to greater pity and greater exertions in the cause of so many of our fellow men , who are enduring every extremity of woe . ; I extract from the seventh report , just published , on Scotland and the northern division of England . The first point is that which may be expected , that is , that the prisons are fuller than ever , owing to the universal distress . The next is an entirely new
f 8 ot—the springing up of a class who call themselves " free prisoners , " a term hitherto unknown , but sufficiently expressive , as the sequel will show . These persons are so entirely without hopo or prospect in this world , that on the expiration of their sentences they voluntarily constitute themselves prisoners ; gladly coasent to undergo separate confinement , ten hours of hard labeur , and the hardest fare , in exchange for the boon of the prison shelter . No less than forty of these reside in the Glasgow gaol for long terms , somo a year , some a year and a half , some two years -. they are orderly and exemplary in their conduct , submissive , industrious , and thankful , never onco crossing the prison thresholdnever com plaining either of the monotony , or labour , or diet , and devotiog to over hours of toil their othec
time . . Whatever may be thought of the lawfulness o { this , its mercy is as paramount as its necessity ; ton if these voluntary captives be denied admission , they forthwith commit a crime , and the gates open befora them . It imperiously declares the need of a better provision for the poor , than the scanty one now doled out by the kirk session ; and it proolaims the humanity of the excellent governor , Mr . Brebner , who is described by some of his prisoners as a father more than aa " a master . " Indeed , but for his interposition , very many must have sunk under the extremity of their privations . . As , sir , you hava been compelled frequently to hold up to publio condemnation , the stern character of several governors of prisons , so will you do the just act of making kno . vn the merit of men like the governor of the Glasgow gaol . ' _
I proceed togive the evidence of a prisoner , whioa shows how incumbent it is to enact an efficient poor law for Scotland . It is given in her words , aad heart-rending those words are : — " My parents were deoent , honest people . I waa married very young to a sailor . When he went to sea he assigned me part of his wages every month . I had sore tronbie after he left , for work began to get soaroe , and my little child fell ill . I went to tha agents to ask for my husband ' s pay , for I was sora distressed from grief and fatigue . The ship was lost off China ; all hands were saved ; but , as was the custom in such cases , the wages were stopped . This was heavy news for me , for I had neither work no 5 money . I bore on for some time , trying to get work , however trifling ; but there was no work to be had
for me and hundreds more . I had heard of a female htuse of refuge in Glasgow , and I determinod to seek food and shelter ihere . I took my little boy in my hand , who is about nino years of age , and walked the twenty miles to Glasgow . When I got to the house of refuge , I showed them my marriage lines , that they might gee I was a douce , decent body . The matron was very kind to me , and said sna grieved for me , but that the house was not for such as me , but for poor misguided women—prostitutes and the like . My heart waa fii to break , and I said to myself , that I maun be wicked before I could get a morsel of bread . The matron took pity on me , and she let me stay one night , aiid gave me a supper and a breakfast the next morniDg .
Wo walked back again the long toilsome way to Greenock . I had nothing to buy food or shelter with . My boy was weakly , though nine years old , and I had carried him many times on my back , when he complained of his feet . I sat down on a bank and cried bitterly ; but my child , who was aye a douce olevor lad , and had been weel instructed in the Sunday school , little aa he was , was my comfort , When he heard me say , ' we shall die of want ; ' well , mother * said he , ' then we shall go to granny , in heaven ; and we'll want no food there . ' He took off his jacket , and pulled off hia little shirt , and said I Bhouldl pawn his shirt , for that would bring something ; and so it did , and we got a night's shelter for thai time . "
Cau anything be more pathetio than this—any words better chosen than these of the poor Scotch woman ? Do they not go to every parent ' s heartdoth not the 6 i ' miliiude of her case to Hagar ' s strike every one ; but with this difference , that no angel came to her in her distress , showed her no well , and she av length—who can wonder , and who can blama —fell into crime , that her Ishmael might not perish , in the Christian desert ! Is it possible that , in the face of narratives suoh . as these , and with such narratives I could fill your journal tor » year , that any other subject can be thought worthy of our consideration ? What avail 3 the decoration oi' our towns , the grandeur of our
palaces , the strength of our bridges , roads , arsenals ; the wide arch of our empire ; our colonies , that stud aud circle the world , when our people seek shelter in onr prisons and force an entrance to them ; when they rather break iLto them than out of them , when their hardest labour , their hardest fare , are sought as boons by the sons and daughters of destitution I What is it , that our merchant navy is counted by a tonnage of millions—that the navy of the state ha 3 borne 150 , 000 seamen , carrying conquest to tha limits of the earth—that onr army has taken the capital of bur enemies—that our exports are fifty millions—when wailing is in our streets , famine is our cottage houst-kcliia , and cur refuge in prison !
Is not oar wealth penury , oar glory decay , oas strength debility ? Is it possible that any other object than a remedy for such desolation , which the annals of each day confirm and augment , can fill the thoughts of pur statesmen , who rciring to their stately halls , can sleep without dread visroas of squalid ana pining multitudes , sometimes expiring in silence , at other timoa breaking out into fteble insurrection—their strength for good or evil , unavailing through long emaciation ! Can they sloop to conbider progresses and pageantg
and baubles , barbarians ' ware , wnere victory is dafeat , aud defeat shame ? Let us hopo better things , and ourselves resolve to bend every thought , to restrain every faculty , to devoce every resource to the supply of the sorrowing multitude of our brethren , to the averting of desp air irom their hearty and danger from ourgglve ^ jGu ^ othtrwise , in Milton ' s words , we must J » dtjjr / ftji | Pv _ " by the irresistible might of weakne ^^ jL ^ r ^^ gv ^ N ^ Your most obedient ser ^ rjtj ^ ' ^ . ^^^ v ^ A
