The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1854-10-11

This is not merely a duty which legisla-
lures are bound to perform, but the public
interest absolutely requires it. For liber.
ty, and the institutions designated to ex.
tend and perpetuate it. can be rendered
safe and prosperous in no other way than
by increasing the number Of its indepen.
ldent guardians and defenders. The lib.
erty to be poor and dependant, is no lib.
erty at all. The interests OF the State are
best promoted by an equal distribution OF
physical. as we'll as mental advantages.
In this country, therefore, Capitalization
and monopolies are out OF place. Popu'
lar Sovereignty can only exist where pop.
ular sovereigns exist TO maintain it. The
tendency Of our institutions is TO this re.
suit; and the sooner it is realized and en-.
Ijoyed. the sooner will the grand ideal Of 9
model Republic be seen and admired.
1t is a common remark, that the gene
rality Of farms are too large. They are
always so when less thoroughly cultivated
than they might be. Every good farme
knows this to be so. Let them be divided
and subdivided then, and disposed Of, or
easy terms, to those who have no land
that they may, by their industry, add II
the general wealth Of the country, and b.
the virtues which spring up spontaneous
around HOME. add immensely to the ag
gregate OF human happiness.
