Answer:
Before answering this question, let us ask what is the meaning of the word, Rebellion. To fight against the Government, to aid and assist those who are resisting the authority of Government, to set at nought, and disobey the orders of Government with a view to resist its authority, or with contempt and disrespect to infringe the rights of Government, and disregard its prerogations; in any, or in all of these, I take it that RebeIlion consists.
LET US CLEARLY RECAPITULATE THE ABOVE.
1. To fight with. or oppose, the servants, or subjects of Government.
2. To neglect, and set at nought the Orders of Government, with a view to resist its authority.
3. To aid and assist or in any way take part with those who are in open opposition to Government.
4. To shew a turbulent disposition, and such as is likely to lead a lawless riot, and disregard of the Authority of Government.
5. To swerve at heart from respect and loyalty to the Government; and in times of trouble, to withhold from it an active support.
In that sad year, 1857, there was not one of these forms of rebeIlion which did not find a place. There are but few men in truth, even amongst the best of us, who may not be convicted under the latter head; which though in appearance of little import, is in reality of no smaIl weight.
