to receive sentence. Ten years banishment was the
punishment pronounced; and that if he shall attempt to return before the
expiration of this term, he is to be marked with a hot iron for the
first offence, and for the second to be _hanged_. No passport was given
him, so that he was left to be hunted about from place to place, like
the most degraded criminal. This worthy man, whose name was Maguin, has
a wife and three children, for whom he has now no means of procuring a
support. [Wilson's Tour, 2d ed. page 325.]

These atrocities were practised by those who claim to be the only
enlightened and liberal characters of our day--by Unitarians and
Socinians--by men too, whose complaints respecting bigotry and
intolerance, have been the burden of many a long article, expressly
designed to represent orthodoxy as peculiarly relentless and cruel.

A large number of Swiss pastors have been driven into banishment, by the
inquisitorial proceedings of those who style themselves the _liberal_
party in Switzerland. Many of the exiles are now residing in different
parts of France, mostly near the frontiers of their own country--others
have found a home in different parts of Switzerland.

One of them is now in that place where the wicked cease from
troubling--and another seems rapidly advancing to it. M. Juvet, who

having been banished from his own canton, sought an asylum in another
canton: this was refused. He then retired to Ferney Voltaire, and
pursued his labors. He was at that time weak from a pulmonary
consumption; but he ventured on an excursion to L'Isle of Mantrichen, to

attacked and pursued by the populace, from town to town; and at Le Isle,
where he arrived quite exhausted, and in profuse perspiration, he was
thrown into a cold dungeon, with only a chair and some chopped straw, on
which to pass the night. His friends were not permitted to give him
either food, fire, or clothing, and in this state he was detained
fifteen hours." For two months he was confined in the prison of Yverden,
under circumstances of severe illness and medical attendance was denied
him. After leaving the prison, he was presently arrested and expelled
