''We trust it will be borne in constant remem-
brance, that the decline and extinction Of ali
the ancient republics resulted from internal
feuds, that excess Of license, that enroachments
upon the rights of individuals, led to encroach
ments upon the conservative principles which
protected the body polite, that from common
general and irremediabe oyerturn. We can
maintain the integrity of the republic, until it
becomes the wonder and admiration of the civil
lied world Already we stand like the Rhodian
Colossus with each foot upon the opposite shore,
and like the antique marvel, we hold aloft to
wayworn mariners a beacon and guide. But
if we once break in pieces, by our own wild acts,
this majestic fabric, who shallthen reillume that
light which we have rudeiy quenched? or what
nation Of the earth las power to erect so glori
GUS nationality as we shall have destroyed?
And that tco BY our own carelessness.

with kcClanahan the editor Of the "Citizen. !"
If he was permitted to remain, Mr.. ID. said he
would take up his hat aud walk cat.
Mr.. McClanahan rose to his feet, and in a high
state of excitement informed Mr.. Doheny that he
would hold him responsible for the remarks he
had made.
