at may be doubted whether any other of our

the distractions and complications that preceded
the Baltimore Convention. The English para

most wonderful exploit of a Democracy which il.
is at once their delight to lampoon and their de-
stiny TO fear. The unsolicited offer Of Executive
power is no longer confined to the instance OF
Cincnnatns; and the sagacious impulses which
actuated Roman republicans some thousands OF
years ago, seem to have moved us to a like har-
monius and sautary resort II is thus that the
genius of free constitution occasionally dis
plays itself, re.asserts its primitive force, ant
takes fresh start in the career Of public virtue
