Let us have no hollow hearted hypocriIes, If pos

position of orations at which no royal can be
offended" in The idle expectation, that the repre-.
senlatves Of kings will sympa,hize with US. They
can nos: If they would, and they would not if they
could. is, in our opinion, one Of the first duties
OF the orator such occasions, vndlcae, boldly,
and fearlessy, the superiority Of our manly repre-
sentative freedom--to contrast our free institutions
with other modes and forms of government TO

freedom, and our consequent attachment to its in
