1T IS not eafy for political party to be
converted. Appearances of this kind are ge-
nerAly ta!lacious, except in the well-meaning
part Of the maj, Of followers who ronetmes
yield to argument, but always 10 favourable
events. But oPPofJion. parties are never form
ed upon The abltra6t principle that COVER nnent
IS wrong, and 70 they never yield on evidence
that government is right. Il was therefore to
tn be expected that the embryo Tacobns Of the
UGited States would make he bclt Rand they
could againR the adminiltration of confiitu
ton, which they had n vain conteAed the fiaal
ratification. But We n al have to look deeper
tor political malice of which no country has
10 patiently turnilhed The example before, that
OF iobveriing III lntfrument Hlelf, and reducing
things TO the Primsval chaos, or in more
faihonlbie language e tembeluouJ far of un-
adociated man. Let The Wee prehdent thew

for how could a PFincipil part Be Of a different
4entimeat from the principal part Certainly
the contribution was adopted By the majority.
But lhtl BE anlwered this was ony by ma
jorities of all TIE coaveatians. There is no ether
anfwer, AMI this is truly republican, for even
rebrsisHtaiiUs governments are too tyrannical,
and ali delegated authority is " bsretical' with
the pure and perfect lons of liberty, equality,
and fraternity. The " fsmbeR4ou5 jsa'' is their
elem mt, and has certainly this advantage IN
favour Of the political bark, that it has no
thore. AS to rocks, quickfands, wh;rlpools,
wat-r-(pouts and hurricanes, and more efpecial-
ly good Rock of ammunition and provifons,
thele things are beyond reb45fcaa f,ra (ieht, and
beneath republican care. "Lfe eps bsyijb, 4us per-

copfol't1u.
