WHOEVER opposes popular prejudices

all other subjects, where men are without
some fundamental and scientific principlcs
to rezort to, they are liable to have their un
derstzzndings played upon hy cant phrases
and unmeaning terms, of which every party
in every country possesses the vocabulary.
We appear astonished when Wt: See the mul

ever triﬂtngthese may sound, they often
eﬀect more than the best rensonittg. But
happily for us. the prejttd'tee and ignorance,
which'gave cttsrency to this nnnsenztc, is
