The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1845-02-05

Ne morsre quietd is the great leading princi-
pie of replication, and along appeal will be made
to experience concerning the immense blessings
and advantages that have been secured TO Great
Britain by thai form of Governments point
easily demonstrated, ifby Great Britain be meant
the 100000, who control all legislation at home
and stretching their sceptre TO the utmost limits
of terrestrial space, make the Hndoo and the
African and the Polynesiao, Iremble and grow
pale before the mandates OF Governors in the
selection Of which they have had no more voice
than in choosing the twelve Casars. Is dis
cusson INDUCED that probably the hierarchy
might be improved in its form, or does some
holder spirit call for its abolirion,' ne naouere
quieta is the response, with many reasons TO
show how entirely beneficial IL has been, al
though il has left in heather ignorance large
part Of the population of Great Britain herself,
and although many of the hierarchy give but TOO
potent proofs that there is weight in the saying
that has been uttered against tbem-that in re-
spect TO the road TO heaven, they are like the
finger posts, which point the way but do not go
it, Does some one more cautious, and an The
present state of things ia England, probably
more RATIONAL object merely TO the preposterous
clauses of the creed in the English church,
which declare that whatsoever does not believe
the Athanasian creed in all its parts, will be
without doubt eyerlastngly damned2 Ne mo
rere quieta is still the answer; and this is re-
sarded as sufficient 10 justify every abuse and
error in the framework of the Government Of
Great Britain, but not TO be plead in bar of her
nnovating zeal against the institutions Of the
United States, or any other country in which
she wishes TO introduce revolution or radical
change.
1t is as plain as that there is a sun in the firm
ament, that, if England marches on in The road
on which she has been moving for seven or eight
years past, with respect TO u.s. that the principle
of her innovating system will be retaliated upon
her and that her Oicn institutions UiH be at
tackled in all their leading parts. This will
come Of her restless interference with those who
thus far, have shown a remarkable forbearance,
under the provocation Of her sy stematized annoy
ance If she thinks, that, with jealous rival
of immense activity and power in Europe, just
opposite her own shores, she can gain anything
by such a course towards US, she labors under
serious, and if she long acts upon it, it will be
fatal mistake 10 her present form Of Govern
ment, "with all that il inherits" If she cannot
be persuaded by philanlhropc considerations,
ct her remember that there is an immense dis
contented population in Ireland that there is
mass of discoutented population continually on
the verge of starvation in England that if her
wealth is very great her national debt is tremen-
dous, and that the maxim she applies to her own
institutions, ne morere quieta, it would be
well for her strictly to practice towards us-and
leave US TO move ours when they need moving
in our own estimation.
