I pass on from the sanctified portion of the jury which I have latterly addressed, and I call the attention of you all to the next member of the sentence:-- “The cold-hearted and cruel Camden.” Here I have your prejudices all armed against me. In the administration of Camden, your faction was cherished and triumphant. Will you prevent him to be called cold and cruel? Alas! to-day, why have I not men to address who would listen to me for the sake of impartial justice! But even with _you_ the case is too powerful to allow me to despair. Well, _I do_ say, the cold and cruel Camden. Why, on _one circuit_, during his administration, there were _one hundred individuals tried before one judge; of these ninety-eight were capitally convicted, and ninety-seven hanged_! I understand _one_ escaped; but he was a _soldier_ who murdered a _peasant_, or something of that _trivial_ nature--_ninety-seven_ victims in one circuit!!! In the meantime, it was necessary, for the purposes of the Union, that the flame of rebellion should be fed. The meetings of the rebel colonels in the north were, for a length of time, regularly reported to government; but the rebellion was not then ripe enough; and whilst the fruit was coming to maturity, under the fostering hand of the administration, the wretched dupes atoned on the gallows for allowing themselves to be deceived. In the meantime the soldiery were turned in at free quarters amongst the wives and daughters of the peasantry!!! Have you heard of Abercrombie, the valiant and the good--he who, mortally wounded, neglected his wound until victory was ascertained--he who allowed his life’s stream to flow unnoticed because his country’s battle was in suspense--he who died the martyr of victory--he who commenced the career of glory on the land, and taught French insolence, than which there is nothing so permanent--even transplanted, it exhibits itself to the third and fourth generation--he taught French insolence, that the British and Irish soldier was as much his superior by land, as the sailor was confessedly by sea--he, in short, who commenced that career which has since placed the Irish Wellington on the highest pinnacle of glory? Abercrombie and Moore were in Ireland under Camden. Moore, too, has since fallen at the moment of triumph--Moore, the best of sons, of brothers, of friends, of men--the soldier and the scholar--the soul of reason and the heart of pity--Moore has, in documents of which you may plead ignorance, left his opinions upon record with respect to the cruelty of Camden’s administration. But you all have heard of Abercrombie’s proclamation, for it amounted to that; he proclaimed that cruelty in terms the most unequivocal; he stated to the soldiery and to the nation, that the conduct of the Camden administration had rendered “the soldiery formidable to all but the enemy.”
