and to give that which by native law belonged, not to himself, but to his people who occupy the land. In conclusion of this brief sketch of an interesting subject, which may perhaps become one of great importance, it may be added that from the voice of hatred and of prejudice, from those who lay their sins on the bent back of the Jew, and calumniate those who have taken advantage of the weakness and indolence of other nations, the appeal lies to the voice of genius, as it spoke in England more than three hundred years ago, on this very question of the oppression of the Hebrew :

"Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not

a Jew hands, organs, dimensions,

senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same

weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is ? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?-Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example ?-Why, revenge. The vil lany you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard with me but I will better the instruction."

May we not add in our own times a better sequel, "And if you do us no such wrong, but rather remember justice and mercy, what shall be our answer?-Surely gratitude."
