OF Democracy, and though he usurp all
the powers OF government, and rule the
nation with a rod of iron the government
would still be republic. Such assertions
are ridiculous. Mr.. s. says again, that
I'm all governments not republican, the
exercise of power is hereditary; and with
out this, the notion ola monarchy or aris-
tocracy is absnld." This is an awful mis-
take for an individual who undertakes TO
enlighten the public mind. Mr.. Scanta-
tor should consult the dictionary, and first
take the mote out ofhis own eye. That
all governments are hereditary except re-
publics, is mistake that any School-boy
can correct who has ever learned the eIe-
ments of Geography; for all geographic

make them amenable TO their constituents
and you have republic, notwithstanding
one of those ministers or bishops may
have more weight in the councils Of the
church than a thousand of the lally This
is what Mr.. Napier has been aboring to
prove that the laty in the NJ E. Church
have not; and, consequently, il is anti
republican. "'rhe mighty aud aStound-

by General Taylor, with four most signal end
brilliant victories.
2. The occupation Of New Mexico by General
Kearny, with several little battles equally decl-
siye, and against equal odds of the enemy
The occupation of California, with ,ari-
Gus military enterprises, more like the fctions OF
romance, than the sober facts Of history.
4. The march of General Wool, Of seven hun
drcd miles, through the encmy's country, and his
admirable junction with TAYLOR at Buena Vista.
D. The splendid and perfect investment OF
Vera Cruz and the castle, and their uncondi.ion-
al capltulation acquired with loss of men, un-
