II I.JC IUHKLfND OHZEIIE.
TIE political maxim, that rerped is
due 10 civil msgiarMes, will, when laid
down as a general proportion, receive
IRON every one perhaps his hearty aaent.
ihe wiidom Of the maxim becomes ap-
rarel,t from the reelection that relped for
rnag.iiaateS and obedience 10 the laws are
intimately connected, inlomuch that in
Common cafes where the former are hol-
oen il contempt, obedience 10 the latter
raut needs be imperfect. Common cha
rl'y too Mould induce us to pre/nme that
mag ..tratcs are pcgefed of the qualifca-
tons which rightluIly entitle them to ref
pett and veneratiop. When, however,
ell prefumptive evidence is rebutted by
facts, when ignorance is dilcovered in the
place of Niidom, carelefs inattention in
the place OF watchful vigilance, or black
itained cankered corruption in the place
of Geadfait underwriting integrity, the
maxim aforementioned loieS its force,
and it becomes a primary duty of every
man, both as he regards his individual in
tereh, and as he feels for his country, to
burlt the fetters of empty formalitv, and
fearlefSly expole whatloever is defective in
any public character. The right to do
this, the right 10 chafe the civil ruler in
all his by-paths, and develope his blum
ders, foiIics and Gorruptions, is one of the
iheilimable benefits which flow from
free form of government, and forms the
chara9erific difference between the free
man and The fave. According to the
degree in which the mind is impreded
with the Importance of this right, will be
our regret that attempts lhould be made
IN any part of the union to hamper and
yefri6t it. Yet fuch attempts have been
made, and they have been made too by
members of feet which have plumed
themielves on being the executive cham
pionS of liberty, the only orthodox apof-
ties Of the Republican creed. When,
not many years ago, law was pahed, al
turing an indemnity to the publiihers of
truth, but providing penalties for the IA
bicators of falfhoods, the whole of the
/" elect" Joined in a dilcordant yell againt
The poor law, denounced it as unconiti-
tutional, and predicted calamities, as flow
ing from it, more deltru6tive than the
forms of war, and more fatal than raging
peitilcnce. What mutt we think of men
who as foon as they themfelves become
elevated to places of high trult and autho-
rity, trampe under foot their former prin-
ciples, commence projections even in
cafes which had been carefully excepted
BY the icdition act, and revive the barba-
rouS doctrine of the old common law, that
+" the greater the truth, the greater is the
fbel ?" The only confolation, to be had
under thcfe circumstances, ariles from the
reRettion that as ii was that inconlfant,
unfeady and variable thing, popular ia
vor, which gave to fuch detefable hypo-
critics their political being, 70 by the in
frumentality of the fame thing, they may
in due time b. thrut back into their orr
ginaI fate Of political nihility.
