New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1842-12-23

This BRIEF comprehensive and simple instrument
established most important principle, prlnci-
pie which is the foundation Of all the democratic
public. In this dark age, the age OF despotlsm
and superstition, when no tongue dared to assert
and no pen to write this bold and novel doctrine,
which was then as much at defiance with common
opinion as with actual power; in this remote
wilderness, amongst small and unknown band OF
wandering outcasts, the principle that the sssH OF
the majority Of the people shall govern, was first
conceived, and was first practically exemplihed.-
The pilgrims from their notions of primitive Chris
tianity the force Of circumstances and that pure
moral feeling which is the offspring of pure re-
lgion, discovered truth in the science of govern
ment which had been concealed for ages. On the
bleak shore of barren wilderness, in the midst
Of desolation, with the blast of winter bowling
around them, and surrounded with dangers in their
most awful and appalling forms, the pilgrims of
Leyden laid the foundation of American Liber-
ty.-[ Bayiies.
It would be interesting to trace the descendants
of those of the Pilgrims who survived the caam-
ties of the first year of the colony, through success
sive generations. This has been partially done by
New-Ensland antiquaries. Some OF the lineage
of the May Flowers passengers may be found
among the enterprisng citizens of Newly ork, par
ticulary the Ho,olaads and the Brewsters.
John Carver was elected Governor for one year.
but died on the 9Th of April following, and Will

at that time reduced TO So. Of the forty-one
who signed the civil CO impact, only nineteen were
then living.
