 The man of the West came as the insPir- td p.ophet of inc West: he came as one free igom tHa bonds of hereditary or established cilsiom; he came with no superior but con- i science, DO oracle but his native judgment; ]; and, tfue t0 his origin and his educauon- i true 10 the conditions and circumstances 6i of his advancement, he valued right more than usage; hereverted from tie pressure Of established ia rests to the energy oi hrst principles.
