Excerpt from The Second Town Hall Meeting on the Vernacular Press Act Disloyal subjects in India. (hear, hear.) When they considered the language which the Go vernment of India thought proper to use, lan guage clearly indicating that the country was on the eve of a rebellion, when actually the country was in peace, and contrasted it with the language used by the Marquis of Dalhou sie when handing over the country to his suc cessor, Lord Canning, when the country was on the eve of the Mutiny, we can well excuse many in hesitating to take part against the Government in the absence of full knowledge as to the real state of the country. One could not well make out exactly what the Government of India intended to do, to prevent this rebel lion, which seemed so imminent, or to put down this seditious violence of the Native Press, now directly provocative to rebellion, unless they had power to deal with it in a most summary manner. Desperate diseases required desperate remedies. But fortunately the lan guage of the Blue Book was to be taken figura tively, or with the greatest modification, at least, as regards Bengal. Any one who had knowledge of the real state of the country must have seen that the language was exag gerated. It was not therefore so remarkable that Mr. Gladstone and the others who acted with him did call it in question. And seeing its character, they were most patriotic in doing their utmost to rectify the impression which these words and the consequent passing of the Vernacular Press Act, were fitted to convey. For few things are more damaging to the welfare of a country than to represent it always on the eve of a rebellion. All who persist in so representing it, deserve no thanks from the governed or the government. Mr. Gladstone.
