Captain Phlete, who spoke his opinion freely respebt-
ing all these disgraceful proceedings in tiernsany, was
suddenly removed from the guards at Berlin to a regi-
ment in Poland, on the pretence that be often was seen
in a Orrtnan dress, but in reality because Prince Chide!
of Mecklenburg bated him, as the above-mentioned
Pbleve said before a tribe I, " that he considered a
standing army to be a stansbillg abomination, and Prince
Charles as the evil principle between the King and

where justice is denied, to execute the 'emend statence
of death. and (as the Bible says, whoever sheds blool,
let his blood be shed in return) to execute.tatment on it

opposed to man. And as a last means, when every other
fails, the sworil remains, with which ite can defend from
force the most valuable of all possessions. What is
called positive law, is in reality frequently nothing but
positive injustice.
