Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1821-06-12

Imented by all ee- Of literal sentiments,
particularly alta moment when, as a con-
6rmation of tt beautiful theory of liber-
ty, we presen them with the inaugural
speech of thePresident of great nation,
which showsnow beneficial to the human
race those theories may be rendered
practical. The Holy Alliance may tri-
umph over Naples, but America remains
great and inextinguishable beacon, to
direct our hopes and our endeavors to
the safe harbor of constitutional govern
ment. While America remains free
(and what power on earth can enslave
her y Europe cannot be wholly enslaved.
Nor do we think that the friends of free
dom have cause to despair, even of Ma
piles. In this successful aggression,
Austria has added to the catalogue of
her own crimes, and thereby afforded
further cause Tor the hatred and the ven
geance of those whom she dares to OPP
press.
1t is not by soldiers that the ideas and
sentiments of men can be extirpated
and she has been taught by the events OF
the last year, that even soldiers have
their periods of reflection; that even
these ellpractised machines ofwar may
sometimes assert their share of humani-
ty, and may turn their weapons to other
purposes than that of defending the
thrones of despots, or that of executing
the sanguinary behests of greedy and
ambitioas tyrants. Spain and Portugal
still remain in the enjoyment of their
newly acquired liberties and it is i'm
possible that France and England can
long continue to behold with Indifference
the westward progress of that oriental
despuism which, while it pretends to
preach the safety of thrones, is manifest
ly aiming at the destruction of all the
commerce, all the power, and all the in
dependence Of the western nations.-
The despotic spirit must be driven be-
yond the Wolga, or Europe will be to
Russia, what Egypt and Persia were, in
ancient days, to Assyria.
