THE VOICE OFFERED DOM.

GUS the reply Is injustice changed into justice
by the practice of ages Is my victim made a
righteous prey, because have bowed him to the
earth till he cannot rise For more than two hun
dred years heretcs were burned, and not by mobs,
not by Lynch law but by the DEGREES of coun-
ellis, at the instigation of theologians, and with
the sanction of the laws and religions of nations
and was this reason for keeping up the fires,
that they had burned two hundred years In the
Eastern world, successive despots not for two
hundred years, but for twice two thousand, have
claimed the right of life and death over millions,
and with no law but their own will, have behead-
ed, bowstrung starved, tortured unhappy men
without number, who have incurred their wrath ;
and does the lapse of so many centuries sanctify
murder and ferocious power?
But the great argument remains. 1t is said
that this property must not be questioned because
it is established by law. That is property, which
the law declares to be property.* Thus, human
law is made supreme, decisive, in grave ques-
ton of morals. Thus the idea of an eternal,
immutable justice, set at nought Thus the great
rule of human life is made to be the ordinance OF
interested men. But there Is higher tribunal a
throne of equal justice, immovable by the con-
spiracy of all human legislatures. That is prop
erty, which the law declares to be property
Then the laws have only to declare you, or me,
or Mr.. Clay, to be property and we become chat
tells and are bound to bear the yoke Does not
every mans moral nature repel this doctrine too
intuitively to leave time or need for argument?"

De ath of BENJAMIN Swan, Esq.

We perform melancholy duty, in announcing
the decease of BENJAMIN Swan, ESQ who died
at his residence in this town on Thursday the
| lth instant, at the age of seventy six years. 1t
is needless to say that he was universally respect
ed and beloved. No man was ever more highly
esteemed by the people of this state, and no man
was more deserving, none more faithful none
more honest
For nearly halfa century, Mr.. Swan has been
a prominent man in the community. 1t is nearly
fifty years since he came to this town and estab-
lished himself as merchant, having been bred
to the business in one of the first houses. in Mas
sachusets. His thorough mercantile education
and his correct views of commercial and financial
matters were of great assistance to him in the va
rous public avocations to which he was called,
and rendered him valuable as an accurate and
ready man, in all business transactions. In pub
lie and private life his urbanity of manners, con-
ciliatory department and undoubted integrity, Sc
cured the respect and confidence of the whole
community With the elevation of character
which he possessed and the Difference universally
paid to him, he was a man of great modesty and
humility. His christian character as well
distinguished by meekness, as by his numerous
acts of benevoence. He lived and died without
an enemy,-at peace with all mankind and en-
joying the hope of a happy immortality.
Mr.. Swan has sustained a variety of offices and
public trusts. He was the first postmaster APP
pointed in this town, and resigned the office when
other cares engaged his attention. In the year
1885, on the resignation by Gen. Morris Of the
office of the county clerk, Mr.. Swan was APP
pointed to that place and from that time to his
death, period of forty three years, has held the
Office Of clerk of the supreme and county court.
In the year 1900, he was appointed by the egis-
lature, treasurer of the state, and thenceorward
for thirty two successive years was elected to
that office by the freemen of this state, and gcner
ally without opposition. He has, with great cred
it and perfect fidelity executed many other respon
sibe offices. 1t is impossible in the short space
allotted to newspaper article to do justice toI
the memory of such man, but it will live and
