scarcely know which most to hate-the oassness
of the murderer or of the king, who afterwards
took him TO his bosom. One OF the tirst acts OF
James. through the nstigation of Cecil. was to de-

man as James it was nol difficult 20 awaken hatred
of such one as Raleigh James was coward
Raleigh was brave. James wished to purchase

solely 10 the honor Of England. With James learn

onlv its material and beginning. Cecifs next step
was TO bring by the false accusation of treason the
head OF Raleigh TO the block; and now that the
details of this attempt are known, it is impossible
not to hate Robert Cecil. He hoped to implicate
RALEIGH in treasonabie plans BY the testimony of
Lord CoRHAM And to do this he had only to Sc
cure the aid of lawyer sufficiently shrewd and
base. and such one he found in COKE.


Raleigh then found himself accused of being

The lustre which gathers, in the eye of the ju-

by the brutal malignancy with which he assailed

The release of Raleigh was no doubt fastened

would still have been relieved by his wonderful in

Immediately after his release, which DR.. n.
was compelled to say was purchased with money,
Sir Walter again turned his attention to this coun-
try and sailed for Guinna: and then the per6dious
treachery of the despicable creature who filled the
throne was made apparent. The object of the ex
petition Of Raleigh was the glory of Eng land: and
every particular of it was laid down by James,
and committed to him under the injunction of
perfect secrecy. And, difficult as it is of belief
DR.. H, said it literally true tina. the royal brute
had done this with the deliberate intent of laying
the same plans before the Spanish Minister, that
Raleigh might be foiled and made victim in his
expedition against Spain. And he accordingly
round them there prepared for his reception.
Raleigh returned to England and then sent
proclamation TO the King, prepared at the instance
OF the Spanish Minister, denouncing the whole ex-
pedtion He was then thrust again into the Tow

his wife, who was imprisoned in her own house,

find evidence upon which to convict and sentence
him to death. And when he could NOT do this he
had recourse to the old sentence, and resolved
upon that to doom him TO the scah1old He had

himself of that omission.


His execution was described as most SOLEMN and
