But the circumstance shove all others that merits our attention, snd Pros the brightest prospects to our view, is the remarkable sad convincing proofs with which these trials furnish of the change that has taken place in public opi. Mon. Tyrants in ail countries, and in all ages, have been fully swore of its importance; hence their un ceasing effotts to direct it in that channel, which they thought would be most conducive to the sepport of their arbitrary measures: since the general diffusion of the benefits resulting Irons the (moutons DISCOVEIiY or TKINTING, this teak bra become infinitely more . difficult. Formerly learning was confined to a very narrow circle, now it has "not only entered into every hamlet," but even " into every hovel ;" hence, Sir, a. flew order of men hove arisen in the State, Cr! pressing forest d to that political importance which the services they render it tatty...them ; who, however rauchcor raption may affect . todespise, will ultimately, in spite of leery opposition succeed in securing for them selves and their children the benefits of that Coned - Mien, to preserve which their forefathers repeat. d• bcought its violators to the scaffold, and as 'l9 lesson ; to posterity, made TYRANT. feel that to in- Isrltits sacred boundaries was the high road of pre ferment—to the BLOCK. You will at onceperceive,] Sir, that I allude to the vast body of tradesmen and mechanics who crowd our towns, and fill, ewe : work:. shops, who generally possess more reel political and :religious infofotation, than those van dein filson' them as beings et an inferior order.

It is by means such as these, which hive . now become general thrisieboat the country, bat the present system of despotism will bd isid prohrate Whir the dust, assisted, no doubt, ma. tetially by the bard hand of oppression,which arrests the wages of .the laboarer and mechanic, Jo pamper vice and luxury, and feed the bloated minions of corruption. • The supporters of the present unjust system of "'Taxation without Representation," are in the same situation as travelivrs, who find them setvet unespeetedly benighted on some desolate heath, not ]hosting whick, hand to tern Though they had succeeded in their attempts is shackle the Preto, till even the very Members of the Holy Alliance had blushed at its degradation, 'bey had still insurmountable berriereopposed to the perfection of their system . . It woeld be necessary, like the.
