There is nothing stronger ihnn human
prejudice. A crazy sentinentnlism like that
of Peter tie Hermit hurled half of Europe
upon ASA aud changed the deslinies of
kingdoms. We may bc crazy. Wonld TO

common humanity. They have put wick

That it is which turns my eye from The ten

from the millions of Democrats. from the

Eternal vigilance is tllc price OF liberty
power y ever stealing from the rnany 10 the
few. The mnnnn OF popular liberty nl,ist

living sap of to-day ouigrows the dead rind
OF yesterday.
Some mCH suppose that, in order to the
peoples governing themselves, all that is
necessary IL, ms Fisher Ames said, that the
"rights OF man be- printed and TINT every
citizen havc copy" AS the Epicurenns,
2O00 years ngo, imagined God as u hcing
who arranged this marvellous machinery, set
it going, aud then sunk To sleep. Republics
eXis. only on tho tenure of hciug constantly
hgitated. The ant-savery agitation is mn
important, my, nn csscniinl part of tue mn
clIiuery OF the State. II is not u disease nor
n medicine. No: il is the normal siale-the
norlunl state Of lie nation. Never, TO Our
latest postcriy, can We afford 10 do without
fanatics, like Garrison, to stir ~ the monolo-
NY Of wealth, aud rcuwalie the people 10 The
great IDEAS that nre constantly iaGiug out OF
their minds, to trouble the waters that there
may he health in their flow. Every govern
ment is always growing corrupt. Every ,
Secretary OF State is, by the very necessity |
Of liis position, an apOsatc. mean what
say. lie is M enemy 10 The people Of ncces !
si'y. because the moment lIe joins the gov
I crnment, he srnvinles against that popular
! agitation which is the life of republic. A

Of lava. The principles of Jefferson are not

said of Wehst..', that he knows well the
Hancock and AAh.,'S Of l77G, but ho does
no, know the HnnrochS aud Ahanses of to-
