feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid (see Table) ;

The SECOND QUINQUENNIAL BONUS (averaging 30 per cent.
on the premiums paid) has just been declared on the Life Policies
effected at this office prior to 1843, and the holders of them have the
option of a reduction in their future premiums, or an equivalent
amount added to the sum assured. The particulars in each case have
been furnished to the parties interested.
On all new Policies one half the premiums may remain on interest,
if required, for five years, and in the event of a death happening
within that period, the arrears then due will be deducted from the
claim.
The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Fire Insurances
become due at Midsummer, that no extra charge is made for the
transfer of Policies ; they may be effected for any period of time, and
if for seven years, the premium and duty will only be charged for six.

This table is not only suitable to those who, from the prospect of
an increasing income, or other circumstances, prefer paying a smaller
sum during the first few years, but Is also decidedly the best mode
of insuring with the view of securing the repayment of temporary
loans. It is preferable to a period policy, as it may be continued to
the end of life, without requiring new certificates of health or incur-
ring a higher rate of premium.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.

" Ilow we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upen that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theirseveral healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithffilly imparted,
health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation 9f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

REJOICINGS FOR THE REPEAL

OF THE CORN-LAWS.

CHORLEY.—Among the many rejoicings in comme-
moration of the passing of the Corn Bill and New
Tariff, it is not to be wondered that the festi-
vities at the Crosse Hall print works should be
marked by extraordinary enthusiasm, when it is
remembered that the operatives there employed
are connected with the distinguished individual by
whose indefatigable exertions and noble sacrifices
the cause of free trade has been brought to a triumphant
issue. This circumstance,' in conjunction with the
esteem in which Mr. Cobden is held bv those associated
with him, incited the workpeople of all ages to an
extraordinary demonstration on Saturday last. Im-
mediately on the arrival of the auspicious news from
London, the hands commenced printing on their own
account a large number of flags and banners from
blocks which had been previously prepared. In a very
short time every spare fent on the premises was con-
verted into an emblem of rejoicing, bearing some motto
or device, either complimentary to the Queen, the
Premier, and Mr. Cobden, or illustrative of the bene-
fits of free trade. At one o'clock in the afternoon the
workpeople, to the number of 654, all dressed in holiday
costume, repaired to the works, where refreshments
in the open air were provided. Mr. Heap commenced
the proceedings by proposing the health of the Queen,
with three times three, the band playing the National
Anthem. Mr. Riley then gave " The health of Richard
Cobden, Esq., M.P., and the Anti Corn-law League."
This toast was responded to with immense cheering,
the band playing, " See the Conquering hero comes."
" The health of Sir Robert Peel and the other members
of both Houses of the Legislature who voted for the
repeal of the corn-laws," was given :by Mr. Alty,
and was heartily responded to. The assembly then
formed a procession, led up by a person carrying the
portrait of Mr. Cobden, followed by the band connected
with Crosse Hall, on each side of which marched
half a dozen stout young men, each bearing a staff
surmounted by a large loaf. Next were the females
employed on the works, followed by a large flag
inscribed with, " Glorious achievement of the Anti-
Corn-law League." Then came all the other hands
in order, according to their respective branches of the
business. Returning through the town of Chorley,
the procession marched into the market-place and
formed a circle, the children inside and the band in the
centre. The healths of the Queen, Mr. Cobden, and Sir
R. Peel were again given as before, and received with
cheers which were heard throughout the town and
neighbourhood. The procession then returned to the
works, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent in
the most hilarious manner. The festivities con-
cluded with a merry dance by the lads and lasses
in the open air, on the green area within the works,
not a few elderly folk, whose gravity could not resist
the fascination, uniting in the light-hearted and light-
heeled groups. The children accompanying the preces-
sion numbered about 200, a great number carrying dimi-
nutive flags and banners, with such mottoes as—
" Cobden for ever," " God save the Queen," " No Corn
Laws," " Victoria, Peace, and Plenty." The whole
proceedings passed off with the most exuberant enthu-
siasm, as well as with the greatest order.—Preston
Guardian.
On the receipt of the news at Chorley, on Friday
evening, the parish church bells rang merry peals, and
flags were displayed from the battlements of the church,
and from the window of the Town Hall. The principal
tradesmen also exhibited flags from their windows,
and every factory was crowned with one; in fact
almost every body exhibited his joy in some style
or other, and many a time that night were the healths
of Cobden and Peel, and success to free trade pledged in
the evening potations of the inhabitants.— Ibid.
KENDAL.--A soiree, we understand, is determined
upon at Kendal for Tuesday, to celebrate the triumph of

free trade. Every poor person in the town is to be
presented with a loaf of bread. Mr. Warburton, the
member of the borough, is invited to attend.
SABDEN.—On Tuesday evening last, a meeting of the
resident members of the Anti-Corn-law League was
held, in the infant school, Sabden, when it was deter-
mined that a tea party should be held on Monday night
in the same place, after which there will be a meeting,
when a few of the members will express their sense of
the services of those by whose long-continued exertions
and many sacrifices the triumph of free-trade has been
won.

BELSHAM.—At Belsham, for a short time past, a
number of persons have subscribed their money for a
daily paper, which they met in different houses to read.
On Friday a great desire was manifested to hear the
intellig, nee, which arrived by express, and was soon
conveyed around the neighbourhood by the postman,
who tied a large loaf on his hat and walked up the row
in great state, while the inhabitants were shouting and
cheering on every side.
LAXCASTER.—On Tuesday evening the free-traders of
Lancaster met together at the Odd Fellows' Hall, to
celebrate by a dinner the triumph of free-trade principles.
EXETER.—The free-traders of the city of Exetcr, got
up a procession on Friday evening last. The procession
assembled at the higher part of St. Sidwell's, headed by
the indefatigable General Strowbridge, carrying a
standard, inscribed with an appropriate motto. Then
came the Teignmouth band, followed by numerous ap-
propriate flags and banners, among which were "Let us
not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall
reap if we faint not. Galations vi. 3." " Honour to the
Earl of Devon for his support of free trade." " Honour
to R. Cobden, Sir R. Peel, R. R. R. Moore, &e. &c. &c."
These were followed by the Exmouth band, and a long
retinue of coaches, cars, and flys, in which were the
zealous free-traders of this city ; the carriages were de-
corated with appropriate flags, bannerets, and mottoes.
The length of the cortege was aboat a quarter of a mile,
and the multitude of people which accompanied the pro-
cession, notvtithstanding it rained considerably during
the greater part of its progress, was ample evidence of
the interest the masses of the people took in this great
question, now so happily brought to a consummation.
HUDDERSFIELD.—It is proposed to celebrate the re-
peal of the corn-laws in Huddersfield by an illumination.

CELEBRATION OF THE FREE TRADE VICTORY IN
MANCHESTER —A number of gentlemen of this town,
impressed with the desirability of having a general holi-
day set apart for the purpose of celebrating the passing
of the Corn Importation Bill, got up and presented to
his worship the Mayor a requisition, respectfully calling
upon him to issue an official recommendation to that
effect. They stated in their requisition that a large
portion of the inhabitants of the town and neighbour-
hood were anxiously looking for such an announcement,
containing a nomination of some particular day, and they
were persuaded that compliance with the desire would
be universally well received. The Mayor, having taken

time for consideration, gave his answer yesterday. He
respectfully declined to accede to the request which had
been made to him, unless he should be called upon to
do so by a more numerous body of the mill-owners and
other large emphyers of labour. We believe that, in
consequence of this reply, another requisition has been
drawn up, and is now in course of signature : and we
should think that no difficulty whatever will be ex-
perienced in obtaining a list of signatures sufficiently
large to induce the Mayor to take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of recommending and nominating a day of
holiday demonstration. In some towns of far less mag•
nitude than Manchester, preparations have already been
made for a free-trade celebration, and it will certainly
seem strange if the inhabitants of a town which took so
prominent and leading a part in the great struggle for
corn-law repeal should decline to celebrate the victory
which has been achieved.—Manchester Examiner.
THE MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
SIR ROBERT PEEL.—The following address to Sir
Robert Peel, agreed to at a special meeting of the board
on Wednesday last, was, after being signed by every
director who was not absent from town, forwarded to
the Right Hon. Baronet on Friday.
_ _

" TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, M.P., &C. &C.
" We, the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and
Manufacturers at Manchester, animated by a deep sense
of duty, cannot receive from the cousentient estates of
the realm the Corn Importation and Customs Duties
Bills, which have just received the assent of our most
excellent and gracious Queen, without expressing our
joy and our gratitude.
" We feel all the exuberance of joy of those who, after
a long and constant struggle for the application of just
and unerring principles to the every-day business of
Government, see those principles applied to matters
which form the very essence of contentment and peace
in a people—a plentiful supply of the first necessaries of
life, and free exercise to labour—and our gratitude is
commensurate with the benefits obtained and the diffi-
culty experienced in obtaining them.
" We have marked with intense interest the progress
of the commercial measures which the Administration, of
which you have been the chsoß has;'from time to time,
carried through the Legislature; we have censured and
still censure some, but we have seen you attest the
success which has invariably attended every relaxation
of duties, and we have, therefore, not been surprised
that the progressive evidence of truth should have in-
duced you and your colleagues to propose that crowning
work which, in due time, w ill form the foundation of
solid peace and contented industry, not only in this
country, but throughout the civilised world.
" We have seen, too, the difficulties which you have
had to encounter; we have seen self-interest, imper-
vious ignorance, and disgusting bitterness arrayed
against you, and we rejoice the more in the enduring
lustre which your triumph over such an opposition has
infallibly insured.
" We have known from long practical experience, that
the first enunciation of sound principles, in reference to
fiscal and commercial legislation, is not to be expected
from Governments; we have known, too, the difficulties
which Governments willing to apply those principles
when enunciated, and to remove those evils which a long
course of unequal legislation has manifestly inflicted upon
the mass of the people, must expecqfrom those whose unjust
privileges are to be attacked ; we can, therefore, duly
appreciate the wisdom and courage which prompted you
and your colleagues to adopt principles for commercial
legislation which you believe to be essential to the lasting
happiness of all classes of your fellow subjects, and we
thank you for having, with true patriotism, carried
those principles into practical effect, without regard to
the sacrifices which faction might call upon you to lay
upon the altar of your country. We doubt not that
you will find abundant solace for the wrongs which have
been perpetrated towards you, in the reflection that you
have been the means of establishing a rule for legis-
lation which will endure through all time, for it is based
on truth, and which will extend itself to all nations,
because it is founded on justice and the inalienable rights
of humanity.
",We wish you many years of life, that you may enjoy
the proud fame which your patriotism so justly merits,
and behold the blessings which are sure to flow upon all
classes from the further application of free-trade princi-
ples ; and in this fervent hope, we tender you, and
through you to your colleagues, this humble tribute of
our admiration and gratitude.

REJOICINGS IN SCOTLAND FOR THE REPEAL
OF THE CORN-LAWS.

GLASGOW.—On Monday afternoon, by order of the
Lord Provost and magistrates, the city bells rang a
merry peal in honour of the passing of the Corn Bill.
AIRDRIE.—The inhabitants of Airdrie celebrated the
passing of the Corn Bill on Monday evening. Shops
and warehouses were closed—two immense bonfires were
lit up in different parts of the town—musical bands
paraded the streets—and fireworks of all descriptions
were let off by the younger part of the population, until
the evening was far advanced.
LANARIL—The moment, on Monday morning, when
the longed-for news arrived that the Bill at last was
law, the population burst forth into enthusiastic joy.
The Free Trade Committee, popularly called The
League," had been making arrangements for an ex-
tended demonstration, to comprehend all the towns
and villages in the upperward, but their plans
were suddenly broken in upon,. though in a manner
that could not but be gratifying on account of
the uncontrolable fervour of the people to testify
the joyous feeling with which they were ani-
mated. Still the League were looked up to for
direction, and they yielded to the torrent so far as to be
enabled to regulate its course. At three o'clock, by
appointment, all the different societies, trades, and or-
ganised localities, with their. flags and emblems,
amidst the stirring
mus-
tered at the Townhead, sounds of
bells, drums, musical instruments of all kinds, small fire
arms, and two or three
pieces"of cannon, which, joined
to the triumphant hurrah of the human voice divine "
made the hills reverberate. with the earthquake shout
of victory." The procession forming a goodly array of
physical and moral force, set out on a progress six miles
in length, taking in course the villages of New Lanark
and Kirkfieldbank, these places with Nemphlar, adding
very considerably to the splendour of the show. When
in the end, the procession augmented in numbers, and
accompanied by a rejoicing crowd, reached the High-
street ; the effect was truly grand. A refreshing breeze
played among the innumerable flags, and a brilliant sun
shone kindly on the congregated thousands, which exhi-
bited a mass of enjoyment such as would have made Sir
Robert Peel himself forget his sad soul-sufferings on
their behalf. The public part of the day's proceedings
concluded with an address of congratulation from an
intelligent townsman, round whom a vast multitude
formed a circle, and the different bodies marched off
with their music to their different places of refreshment,
after giving four hearty cheers for "The Queen," " Sir
Robert Peel," " Coben," and " the League,"
LARKIIALL.—On Saturday last a number of the inha-
bitants of Larkhall assembled at the Post-office, waiting
with anxiety the arrival of the mail from Glasgow,
which, it was expected, would contain an account of
the third reading of the Ministerial free-trade measure
in the House of Lords, but were disappointed ; and as
another London mail bad passed and no London papers
received here, a man was instantly dispatched to Ha-
milton, who executed his mission with great expedition,
for, in the unprecented short space of fifty-five minutes
—having travelled a distance of seven miles, besides as-
certaining a full account of the final result in the House
of Lordg—he arrived with the gratifying intelligence,

which was received with three cheers. The committee
of the League immediately agreed to proclaim the news
throughout the village, and act upon the spirit of
their messenger and allow no delay in having a triumphal
demonstration ; and at five o'clock an univeral turn-out
of all the different bodies and societies in the neighbour-
hood, amounting in number to two or three thousand,
with bangers and music, was exhibited. They then
walked in orderly procession, and, before dispersing, gave
three cheers for Cobden, and three for the League.
They then retired to the Freemasons' Hall, where seve-
ral congratulatory addresses were delivered, with a few
original and mirthful songs, and at a little before twelve
o'clock, the meeting broke up, after one of the most
cheerful, orderly, and joyful meetings ever held in this
neighbourhood.
BUSBY.—At this village on Monday evening, a public
meeting was held in Mrs. Wilson's Hall, over which Mr.
Davit Lowden presided, when addresses were voted—
one to Sir Robert Peel, and another to Mr. Cobden—the
former expressive of sympathy with the Premier in his
present position, and both congratulatory to the Premier
and Mr. Cobden on the passing of the Corn Bill. It was
also agreed, at the same time, to celebrate the passing of
this important measure, by an illumination on the follow-
ing evening.
FREE TRADE DEMONSTRATION AT STSATHAVEN.—
On the arrival of the mail on Monday bringing intelli-
gence of the repeal of the corn-laws having received the
Royal assent, a number of the inhabitants of Strathaven
formed themselves into a committee, and resolved that a
demonstration should take place in honour of the event,
on the following day. On Tuesday, accordingly, the
various trades turned out in procession through the town,
accompanied by two bands of music, with flags, banners,
&c. During the procession, the parish and relief bells
rang a merry peal. The houses and shops in the various
streets were decorated with evergreens and shrubs,
which gave the town a very gay and enlivening appear-
ance. In the evening, from 80 to 100 gentlemen assem-
bled to dinner in the Avondale Inn hall.

EACLESHAM.-Ever since the corn-law question was
introduced into the House of Commons by Sir R. Peel,
the people of this place have manifested the utmost
anxiety for the issue of that question. No sooner,
therefore, was the news learned of the final passing of
that great measure, on Saturday afternoon, than they
began to demonstrate their joy by firing guns, and
hoisting flags and other emblems. The members of the
instrumental band also turned out with their instruments,
and paraded round the village, followed by a large por-
tion of the villagers ; so that, with
Banners flying, music sounding,
Laughing, cheering, guns rebounding,
all went merry as a marriage bell till nearly the clock
struck twelve, when all returned to their respective
places of abode.
AYR.—On Monday last, rejoicings were got up in Ayr
for the safe passage of the Corn Bill. In the evening
some rioting took place, in consequence of the mis-
chievous part of the population having resolved upon
bonfires, and being rather unscrupulous in the means
they took to procure materials. After the arrest of one
or two of the ringleaders, order was restored.
KILMARNOCK.—On Monday a meeting of the Magis-
trates, Councillors, Commissioners of Police, and Dea-
cons Conveners of the Trades, was held in the Town

Hall, at which it was agreed that the gratitude of the
people of Kilmarnock, for the repeal of the Corn-laws,
should he expressed to-day (Tuesday) by a suspension
of business at four o'clock, P.M., and a procession headed
by the authorities—the assembling to be at the Cattle
Market, and the procession to terminate at the Town
Hall, where an address to the Prime Minister will be
read from the balcony, and submitted to public approval.
The windows of the shops are decorated with bushes.
The magistrates will meet with the burgeses in the
George Inn at eight o'clock, for a social sederunt, as in
the good old times.
STEVENSTON.—The inhabitants of Stevenston had a
procession on Saturday, accompanied by the band, when
all things went off in a very spirited manner.
GIRVAN.—PUBLIC REJOICING.—Monday being the
day fixed on to give expression to public feeling in re-
ference to the joyous triumph of free trade, at an early
hour the houses were decorated tastefully with boughs
and flowers, and the principal streets spanned with gay
and neatly constructed arches. Although the weather
was by no means fine, the town everywhere presented an
animated appearance, most people seeming to vie with
each other in the expression of happy feeling—" all
went merry as a marriage bell." About mid-day,
agreeably to previous arrangement entered into, a pro-
cession took place, consisting of the various trades,
headed by the Town Council. In the afternoon a
numerous and respectable party sat down to dinner in
the Burns Inn.
SALTCOATS.—On Saturday, after the arrival of the
Fleetwood steamer at Ardrossan, containing the news
of the passing of the Corn Bill, the town bells rang a
merry peal in honour of this glorious event. Flags were
hoisted on the house tops, or other conspicuous places.
T. the afternoon tb public meeting was called by tuck
of drum, which was respectably attended, when it was
resolved that on Tuesday the inhabitants should have
another day of rejoicing. On that day all the houses
and shops were, accordingly, nicely decorated with
evergreens, &c. About 3 o'clock, a large procession,
composed of merchants, sea caT tains, &c. walked through
the principal streets with flags, small vessels on poles,
and bands of music, which tended greatly to the enjoy-
ment of the people. The principal shops in town were
closed nearly the whole afternoon. About 100 gentle-
men sat down to dinner in Mr. Campbell's Hall, Sara-
, cen's Head Inn.

BElTH.—Assoon as the intelligence reached Reid),
on Monday, the 29th ult., that the Corn and Customs
Bills had received the Royal Assent, the windows and
doors were profusely decorated with flowers, shrubs, and
evergreens, whilst the Beith instrumental band peram-
bulated the streets. A number of miners from the
Rilbirnie iron works and neighbourhood came into the
town preceded by a piper; the bells on the spires of the
Town-house, Free Church, and Old Church, rung a
merry peal, and the whole town assumed the appearance
of a gala day. At six o'clock, p.m, a procession of be-
tween four hundred and five hundred of the inhabitants

took place, without almost any intimation being given,
showing the decided interest which the people of Beith
took in the passing of these great national measures.
The procession, after making a circuit of the town
formed in the principal square, when the Queen's health,
aid Sir Robert Peel's, were given and received with the
greatest enthusiasm. Short addresses were made on the
momentuous occasion which had called them together,
by Robert Ramsay, Esq., merchant ; and Mr. Robert
Shedden. A meeting of about 120, took place in the
evening, in the large hall of the Saracen's Head Inn,
when several toasts, prefaced by brief and appropriate
speeches, were given, and warmly responded to. As
soon as it was dusk, a display of fireworks took place,
whilst four large bonfires of coals, which had been
kindled during the day, cast their illuminating gleams
along the streets, lighting up the countenances of the
crowds of joyous citizens assembled. As far as we learn,
the whole went off without the slightest injury or offence
of any kind to any person.
PERTH.—On Wednesday last the city authorities and
inhabitants of Perth celebrated the passing of the Corn
Law Repeal Bill by a grand public procession, with
banners, music, &c. ; a public meeting on the North
Inch, where the assemblage were addressed from hust-
ings ; and a dinner in the evening in the City Hall.
The Perthshire Advertiser says, " There must have
been fully 10,000 individuals on the Inch before the
procession commenced. We cannot say how many
might have been in the procession ; but those conver-
sant with the town may form some idea of its magni-
tude when informed that it extended the whole length
of South-street. A number of the devices on the flags
and banners were very apt and appropriate ; such as—
Let those who till and those who weave,
And all who by their labour live,
Rejoice, for now their market ground
Is measured by the world's wide bound.
Let the corn consumer rejoice, and may the producer
never have cause to mourn." Thanks to Sir Robert
Peel.' The Triumph of Free Trade,' &c. The
bakers, who were preceded by a very fine band from
Strathmiglo, in Fife, carried a very spirited represents-
ton of a baker and corn-dealer in combat, with the
motto, No more bonded corn."

FARE WELL ADDRESS.
(From the League.)
Our task is concluded, our labours are at an end. We
have seen the great principles for which we have strug-
gled through seven years of doubt and difficulty brought
to a triumphant issue, and permanently established in
the legislation of the empire. The records of Parlia-
ment are the evidence of our services ; the freedom for
which wise men wrote, and good men sighed, and brave
men struggled, has been won peacefully, honourably, and
completely. Laws devised by a jealous, monopolising,
and ungrateful spirit to restrain the bounties of Provi-
dence, and fetter the energies of an industrious, a brave,
and a loyal people, have been swept from the statute-
book to take their place in the records of unhonoured
history. We have extended the right hand of fellowship
to every nation upon earth, and laid the foundation of a
brotherhood which will unite the whole family of man.
Compared with such a victory the triumphs of con-
querors and the achievements of heroes sink into insig-
nificance. Our march has been stained by no blood—
our success is sullied by no tear. There is no regret in
the bosom of the victor, and there soon will be none in
the heart of the vanquished, for ours is the triumph not
of force but of reason ; not of ambition, but of benevo-
lence ; not of a party, but of the united empire ; and,
we might add, of universal humanity. As there is
nothing to cloud the joy of present success, so is there
no painful association connected with the history of the
agitation by which that success was obtained. Our
march from the starting point has been steadily
onwards ; our course has never swerved from the single
object which we had resolved to pursue, and our means
have been as noble as our end.

For the first time in the world's history a great revo-
lution has been accomplished without physical force
being so much as mentioned in the whole struggle. Con-
vinced of the power of intelligent opinion, we set our-
selves to develope that intelligence and to form that
opinion. We foresaw that our mission should be educa
tional, and we accepted its conditions. The League
undertook to instruct the people, to reform the economic
creed of the country, and to overthrow the fallacies
o:Wind by an ignorant selfishness, and supported by an
