FATAL 0DDs.-With power and pelf against
them, in the late contest gold and the inspec-
tors, the police and the custom house, fraud
and force the bottle and the bludgeon, the
grave and the grog shops---it was well-nigh
impossible for the wings not to be worsted.
Their consolation, however, is, that these
things cannot continue. Only what is good can
be lasting Not even their difference in prinei-
pie more distinguishes truth and falsehoOd, than
their different power of permanence. If error
were capable of becoming fixed, it would almost
cease to be error if truth could change, il
would be truth no longer. Ii grog and gold
were to become the lords and rulers Of this me-
tropolis, grog and gold would have to learn tc
act on some principle; or presently they would
suhvert themselves. Thus they must either
alter their nature or pull down their own

Now, these very laws were, in our view, far less

use of that royal prerogative, the veto; or his
