I, and millions with mo, to-day ask tho question, Has tho Frnnllgo of this Gront Republic_fallen 80 low—is it 80 littlo respoctod out of doors— that tho claim to bo Ity citizen provokos nothing but dorision ? Can n fory mirorable miscroants —tha offsconrings of the most bigoted and be- sotted nation in Enropo,—laugh to scorn tho protection of our flag, and .shoot our citizons undor our vory nowo, without oven sllowing thom a hearing in their own defonso, and that, tog, in tho faco or our protest to the contrary ?

Thoso men who woto so barbarously murdered claimop to be American citizons, and whether thoy bo proven to be so or not. will not afrect our rospongibility in the least. They olnimed to bo our citizons, and thoy were so until they wero proved othorwise; and tho United Stoten is bound to-day to afford them evory protoction they would bo cntitled to as such; snd, when sho was unable to protect thom, she s bound to avengo thom; and, it sho do uot, I can only say that #he has arrived at that sublimity of solf- donial that a man would possers who could com~ placently smile nfter boing wlapped in tho faco und called poltroon and coward.
