at loss to find upon what principle Congress can
make grauitous eesson to city of public property

occur to us upon reading the preamble and resolu-

THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT.

only seventyeght years since the declaration of
dependence 1t is only sxtyfve years since the forma-
ton of the constitution In the lifetime of a nation these
are very brief periods aud government therefore is
still in its early youth 1t formed after existing
model but intended itself 10 be the model govern
ment of the world Thus far its has been wonder
full But while its experience usfes gratitude and in
spires hope it teaches also the plain lessons of vigilance
and fidelity Short the American past is it neverhe
less discloses dangers escaped well glores won and
it points to the future with confidence not wholly free
from anxiety and doubt In the beginning of history
the question argued and determined upon what prin-
cpes the government should be founded Great men d.
yded upon this question But they agreed at last upon
the result which is mbodicd in the constitution and its
amendments This result based upon faith in the
pacity of the people for segovernment As much power
therefore, left in the people and their local
ments thought to be consistent with suitable
ggy in the State To the general government granted
nothing which did be absolutely essential its
efficient action and all powers not granted to it were
essy declared to be reserved the States and the people
Thus the popular element umphed in the constitution
and the friends of strong were disappointed
Honestly iearing, however that the government too
weak for success they endeavored to recy in practice
what they regarded in heoy Hence the
division Of parties under the constitution when the oppo
sing minds Jefferson and Hamilton. The question
simply was wheher The American experiment should hare
JaF trial. or whether by construction and implication
new and different government should be substituted for
the one which had just been formed The people chose
10 try the experiment. and in 1901 the ship of State
was put upon its republican tack that it might show by
he grace of its motion the skill of its builders From that
TINE the present with few brief Interruptions the expert
ment has on and has gone successfully But it
mas been continued against the struggles of those
who inherited the political views and doubts OF Alexander
Hamilton. Their efforts have been exerted through the
whole period Of history, not to give the experiment OF
sefgoyenment full and fair trial. but change gradu-
ally the character of the government and thus prevent the
uiaf OF an experiment in which they have had conf
uence Thus their have tended TO centraize
power and wealth and influence in the hands of the fed

ELECTION OFF pREsIDENT OLE THE SENATE.

The industry of the New York Herald in seeking for

ton shows the intensity of its hatred Its last abrica-
ton is however, infamous, that have thought it
cessary expose IT, In the Herald of Thursday the cleo
ton of Hon. Jesse d. Bright President of the United
States Senate claimed demonstration against the
administration of Franklin Pierce There is very easy
way to put this assumption at rest. He was elected
as the friend of the administration and by the friends
of the administration The senators most intimate with
President Pierce sustained Governor Brght--and this
only because of his eminent capacity and high de-
servings but because they knew that he agreed with them
in supporting the policy of the administration This

the effect which its statement may have upon honest

the people called upon to decide BY this do not
whether the government shall exist at ALL but wheh-
il shall exist upon the principles which il ong

religious persecution if instead of asylum for the
