To see Congress, un,ier such circarnstan-

in the system OF duties, authorizes uie hope
to be iudulged, that, no, weighing with a

revolutions; aud ia despite OF the nnilions oil

The last Of her Tyrants who raised his

the adopted citizen Of Virginia begins to IL
t~ustrate that hemisphere, aud gives a sure
and a brigat presage OF the FINAL triumph OF
dopulsr rights IN all the governments on that
continent.
This wonderful revolution, SO sudden, so
temperate, so wise. will he hailed with JOY
by all the natit rs of this confederacy; aad
furnishes a sare guarantee hat the pre-
JUDGES which II has been the policy OF Kings
to encourage towards these Republics on ae-
osunt Of the Freedom OF their institutions,
will have an end. With their institu lions as
animated to ours, the people of Europe will
see in our prosperity cause of rejoicing, and
regard US as worshiepers at the same shrine
Justice cannot prollce colksion-and the
free can have no motive, but 10 be just aud
generous.
May we not londly anticipate the near APP
pro2ch Of tina; era, when in the language Of
eur venerated ceuntryman now no more, The
great truth shall be made manifest That the
mass oil mankind we're not born with saddles
on their backs, or a favored few, booted and
spurred, ready to ride them i~isit'nately by
the Grace Of God"
