Estimation Of The people" in ErY-
land
In number of the Morning Posi-,
London Ministerial paper. which casual
ly fell into our hands, we find an extract
from publication under the title O" "the
Warder," on the subject of the right OF
the people to Interfere in the concerns Of
government, introduced with high com,
mendations. To give our readers some
ideas of the estimation in hich the "bco.
ple," (who are, and cor grant, ever may
be, the sole source and depository of all
power in Amerlca) are held in that idol
ized country, we copy the following pas.
sagcs:
"The natural disposition of a people
is to Obedience apd reverence. The high
places OF power are lificd above their
speculation and they are willing to be-
lieve in the suficiency of those, who fill
them." "Those persons are hostile to
society, and foolish in their design, who,
in any government, employ hemselvcs,
in exposing to the contempt, and deris.
ion and aversion OF the multitude. The
faults aad follies of their rulers. Much
more are they enemies to their country,
who call the coarse, audaeious gaze Of
the nuiti,uae upon the defects of the
constitution" "7hey will not invite
the people Of the country TO be judges Of
the Easus which THEY ARE BORN TO
OBEY" I" Gan any thing be more out.
raeeons TO natural sense, than to t,obose
such deliberations to such connseIo,s ?''
The commentary upon language like
this. and principles like these, is to be
found in the wretchedness of the COM
mon people Of England and its appenda-
ges; in their riots and outrages; in the
governmental check on emigration.
Held in this light; treated as beasts Of
burden; il would be unfair to exrect
from them those advances in knowledge,
and that accession of information, which
would fit them for self government.

lished edition after edition of this instrument,

in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, net merely with the state acknowledge

the literary attainments, also, of King John,

Surely the Declaration Of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta OF
England and If the fac SMILES of the sig
natures Of the patriots who signed it we're
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls Tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents OF Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reuc-
| tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration of lndepen-
3ence are spread out before the eyes Of the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public Ii
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge Of

towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve TO place it continually under the eye
